Surprising Report on the
Subject by the Health
Officer.
WHITE MALES SUFFERERS
Natives of Washington Lead
the List-SuicideS More
Numerous.

The report Of Health Officer W. C.
Woodward, showing the health and san
ltaIy conditions that prevailed in the
District during the whole OF the calen-
dar year 1903 and the first six months of
the calendar year 1904, was submitted to
the District Commissioners today. 1t
contained the following surprising sum-
mary:
That the increased mortality during
1903, as compared with 1902. occurred
during the months of January. Febru-
airy, March. November. and December.
the summer months showing an actual
decrease.
That the increase occurred altogether
among white people. the death rate
among colored people being better than
during the year 1902. and thai 1t occurred
chiefly among white males
That the increase secured among
persons in adult life. chiefly among those
between sixty and sixty-nine years Of
age. the number Of decedents during the
first year of life being even less than in
1902
That the number OF married dece-
dents increased, while the number Of
unmarried diminished
THAT the increased mortality occurred
altogether among natives Of the United
States. and to considerable extent
amon= natives Of the District OF Co
Iumbia
THAT the increased mortality was
greatest among deaths due 10 diseases
OF the nervous and the circulatory sys-
TENS and TO violence
1t is to be regretted that this analy-
SIS OF the increase Of the mortality fails
to disclose its primary causes. and
therefore. fails TO indicate method fOI
It's prevention.
Woodward's Figures.
DR.. Woodwards figures show that in
1902 the death rate was 1899. while in
1903 It increased to 20.14 Commenting on
this. the report says:
AT first glance one might be inclined
20 believe that the importation into the
District of white men to work on the
filtration plant, the Union station, and
other public improvements was respon-
among white males taken as a whole:
but these men, however, seem to be
nearly all OF foreign parentage. and the
mortality tables show that there was
decrease In the numb Der Of decedents be-
longing 70 that class, and that the in
crease IN the deaths among white men
occurred altogether among natives Of the
United States and to a considerable eX-
tent among those born in the District Of
Columbia"

during 1903. the following explanation IS
