of over 47 deaths. For the five months the deaths among the negroes averaged fourteen more than among white people, although the white population is nearly double the negro
 The total number of births in negro families for the five months was l50 or an average of thirty per month. While the total number of births of negroes Is less than that of white people, the rate per 1000 Is much larger.
 In commenting on the figures yesterday. City Health Officer Hardness attributed the cause of the number of negro deaths to the over-crowded quarters in which they sleep, many of the deaths being caused by tuberculosis Dr. Hardness said:
 Tt has been noted for a number Of years that the negro birth rate was lower than the death rate. and race sui- eide has been predicted for the negroes. The rate per 1000 of births among white people is greater than the death rate. The population of Birmingham excluding the increase due to immigration, Is in- creasing at the rate of 3S5 per 1000 every month while the colored population, by the excess Of the deaths over births. is decreasing at the rate of 1920 per 1000 every month."

Figures compiled from the reports of City Health Officer R. B. Hardness for the five months ending May 3l, 1905, show that the white birth rate for that period was in excess of the death rate for the white population. Among the negroes, however, the birth rate, while larger than the birth rate of the whites, is far below the death rate.
 In other words, the figures show that the percentage of negroes that die every month is greater than the percentage Of the births. Among the white people more births are recorded than deaths. The negroes are dying at greater rate than they are being born, and the whites are being born at greater rate than they die.
 The figures are based on a population of the whites of 30, 900 and a negro popu- lation of 17,OO0 The white births for the five months number 216, while the deaths recorded reached only 166, or an average of 43 births for the five months, and an average of 33 deaths. The rate per lO00 of the births was 1714 and of the deaths. 1929.
 The negro birth rate was FLIP. while the death rate of the race was 33.32. The total number of negro deaths for that period was 23S, or an average per month

ing was of more importance because it involved the integrity of official duty.
 To show that equal justice is not being meted out to all men alike l call atten- ton to tho fact that the council revoked the license of one Haflin on Fourteenth street and Seventh avenue for selling liquor
 on Sunday I am informed that shortly thereafter they granted license to sell liouor at the same place to one Mont gomery, and applied the license money
 paid by Hafln on the license or Mont-
 aonery. I am further informed that there la no such man as Montgomery. and that he is purely fictitious, existing Tor license purposes only, and that some Of the coun-
 ell knew this at the timei and. 1urther,
 that there has been offered re"aru oi s10o to any man that will produce Mont
 gomery-anyway, Hahln, who was in
 charge of the saloon when the Sunday
 selling Is alleged to have occurred, is
 in charge of the business just as before,
 and the public will remember that the Mayor favored granting this Montgomery license. This looks very much ike the Mayor Is running "shell game" in the reform business.
 Forgot Letter.
 Another instance is that at the last meeting of the council presided over
 
 chief of police was on file against cer- tain saloon in the city, and published in the daily papers before hand. and sa- loon over which 1t was charged there had been gambling, and where 1t Is alleged that some person around or attached thereto had cursed an officer, yet the
 Mayor conveniently" overlooked the little matter of calling 1t to the atten- lion of the council Another instance of where "now you see the Mayors reform. and now you don't Perhaps his revok- ing appetite was satisfied.
 As an illustration of the depths to which the Mayor has gone and is willing
 to go to prosecute me, and the adroit in- fuences he will use In the matter, l re- call that during his campaign for nom- nation. a certain alderman charged him with being the head of. or a member of, a corrupt machine fin the City Council They met and had personal difficulty. over which charge l am not informed. Anyway. after the Mayor had turned his entire reform batteries loose on me, this certain alderman is found manning one of the Mayors reform batteries and at once our diadapper Mayor appears in print and tells the people that said alderman is "clean~ and "temporate, and the kind of stuff to make lieutenant governors out of: which statement either proved that the former statements of the alderman were correct when he said the Mayor was a "foor' and crank" or that the | Mayor was as reckless in his statements
 concerning him as he Is concersing my 1 self. or that mutual influences were l traded.

before he heard the evidence, that the resolution Is brought before this body reading "whereas 1t has been proven, etc.,
 Feeling that I am the victim of the Mayors personal and official hatred. that this is another one of a series of his prosecutions, and that I have a right to be heard in proper tribunal, and that l demanded same and no proceedings have been commenced I therefore, re- spectfully decline to comply with the request contained in the resolution and decline to resign from this commission.
