San Francisco, Aug 1.-The fight Friday night
at the Coma club between Jimmy Gardner and
Rufe Turner Of Stockton CAL, is arousing more

Where Race Suicide is Real.

A consular report says that Eng
lands birth rate is declining. 1t touch
ed it's highest point, since registration
began in 1888, in 1878. Today it is at
its lowest. The children of h most
prolific mothers-those of 1876-are
the most unproductive mothers. The
reason assigned for the frightful de-
cline is the decay of the maternal in
stinct. "Only IS per cent as many lit
tie ones see the light now, or remain
in it, as did thirty ears ago. No one
factor, however, can account for the
entire falling off. The fac is there are
many causes Notably among the
most prominent is the advanced age at
which persons marry and the fact that
a great many never marry. Previous to
1876 the marriage rate was 16 to 17k
per 1000. Today it is 15k. The claim
made for years by leading economists
with the food supply is being doubt
ed. 1t fails to hold good in England,
for at no time in the past was food so
cheap or SO abundant as it is today.
Possibly, says one writer, rent, the
rates, n taxes have more to do with
the question than has the price of
wheat" The fact of the matter is,
the question is beyond the best men
in the Empire. It battles everybody
from h humblest to the highest IN
the fight for first place that is on. it
means. or may mean, a great deal to
England whether her birth rate is
small Or large. A short crop of lit
tie ones in 1905 n in each succeeding
years means a short crop of men for
the army. navy, mills shops. farms,
ships, factories and OlOnies of Eng
lane twenty-five or thirty years hence.

FIVE YEARS PENAL SERVTTUDE
Verdict Of Jury i'm Trial of Hugh Watt,
Former Member of Parliament.

London, December 21.-The trial OF
Hugh Watt, the former member OF
parliament, charged with melting hir-
ed agents to murder his divorced wife,
Julia Watt, and Sir Reginald Beau
champ ended today with a verdict of
guilty. Watt was sentenced to five
years penal servitude.
The JUICE in summing up said it was
the most extraordinary case of modern
times. Improbable as was the story,
he thought it was equally improbable
that any one could conceive and
swear to such charges. The question
of the sanity of Watt had not oeen
raised so the jury had nothing to do
but to find a verdict of guilty or not
guilty.
The Judge pointed out that the death
of the former Mrs. Watt would p ace
Watt in exactly the position he de-
sired. as it would enable him to legal
ize his marriage to Lady Violet Beau
champ, which at present was illegal
because Mrs. Watt had declined 70
have her divorce made absolute. Her
death would also annul the Iced OF
settlement between Watt and Mrs. Watt
which Watt dsired.

TO GUARD THEIR INTEREST
Tennessee Holders of Life Insurance
Policies Will Send Representatives
to the Annual Meeting of the Com
panieS.

Nashville, Tenn, December 20
Tennessee holders of life insurance
policies met here today with the OBJ
ject of selecting persons to represent
them and their interests at the coming
annual meeting of the various mutual
life insurance companies. 1t had
been :umored persistently that Thom-
as w. Lawson would have a represen-
tative here to secure proxies and, it
possible, get control Of the meeting.
State Insurance Commissioner Folk
received from Mr.. Lawson a four thou
sand word telegram denying hat he
had such a representative here. The
meeting was organized by elec5ing
Colonel A. M. Shook, a large policy
holder. chairman, and Insurance Com
missioner Folk secretary. The propos-
ed reading Of Lawson's telegram
brought OF a heated discussion, and
the reading va finally ordered.
After much discussion a resolution
was adopted giving it as the sense of
the meeting that the Tennessee policy
holders shall be represented at the an
n~ualmeeting Of the various mutual
companies by persons from among
their W number.
