CLEANLY LIVING
PROVING FATAL
WEST INDIAN NEGROES BALK
AT GOOD FOOD
Lsborers Employed on the Panams
Canal Do Not Take Kindly to
Perfect Sanitation and
Clean Linen
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Perfect
sanitation and clean linen are proving
fatal to the West indian negroes en-
ployed on the Panama canal. Although
Colonel Gorgas and his assistants have
banished yellow fever and other trop-
ieal fevers which made the canal zone
one large burying ground for the French
canal builders they have found that
sanitary precautions taken in the quar-
ters occupied by the workmen make
ihs Jamaican negroes especially sus.
ceptible to pneumonia and other throat
and lung troubles.
West Indians are not accustomed to
an abundance of fresh air, and Venti-
lated cleanly quarters. Living for
generations in small huts where large
families crowd into rooms tightly closed
against the night air. the negroes from
Jamaica and other tropical islands
have developed lungs with cramped
capacity and especially susceptible TO
changes of temperature.
Balk at Wholesome Food
The officers in charge have found
that the West Indian laborers cannot
be induced to eat sufficient wholesome
food TO keep them in good health, even
when supplies are furnished to them at
cost price, and meals are made at
tractive at great expense to the canal
commission.
Chief Engineer Stevens of the canal
commission, Governor lagoon and
other men identified with the work oil
the isthmus have agreed that lack of
lung capacity and insufficient nourish-
ment, rather than laziness, are respon-
sible for the inability of the West IN
dams to perform an amount of work
equal to that done by white laborers
from Spain. The negroes are paid only
so cents n day, while the white mon
from Spain and Cuba are paid twice
that amount, and many of the bosses
on the canal work are of the opinion
that the white men really do much
more than twice as much as the col
ored laborers.
Spaniards Are Thrifty
The Spaniards have been found to be
thrifty and cleany in their habits.
They take their families to the isthmus
and maintain homes in which whole
some conditions prevail and good food
is served. Most of the Spaniards now
employed on the isthmus went there
from Cuba. but they are natives of
Spain who had obtained employment in
Cuba. 1t is expected that Spain will
grant the commission permission to
take large numbers of Spanish laborers
to the isthmus.
To abandon negro labor. according to
the commission, is practically impos-
sible. but Chairman 'Shonts and other
members of the commission feel that
it is unsafe to depend on any one class
of labor. and because of the unsatisfac-
tory results with negro labor they are
not only turning to the Spaniards. but
will probably try Chinese labor, as it
is not believed that sufficient Spaniards
can be had to meet the demands when
the canal becomes more advanced.

PASSES AWAY
Deceased Known as the Man Who
Controlled the output Of
Gold In South
Africa
Rv Assnnlntnd Presa.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON. July 16.--Alfred Belt, the
well known South African financier
died today. He had been in bad health
for some time.
Mr.. Belt was born in 1853 at Ham
burg. He was a life governor of the
De Beers consolidated mines, partner
in the firm of Wernher, Belt & Co.
and director of the Rand mines,
Rhodesla railways, Bechuanaland
railway trust, consolidated company,
Bultfontein mine and British chartered
South Africa company.
He was reported to have been impli-
Gated in the Jameson raid. Later a
suit was brought against Mr.. Belt on
the ground of completely in the raid
and his prosecution was demanded by
DR.. Leyd, the representative of the
Transvaal in Europe, and in 1896 his
resignation from the board of directors
of the British chartered South Africa
company was accepted.
One of Rhodes Executors
When Cecil Rhodes died in 1902 it
was found that Mr.. Belt was appointed
one of his executors, ana Mr.. Belt
thereupon returned to the board of di-
fectors of the British chartered South
Africa company.
Early in 1903 Mr.. Belt had an apo
plectic stroke while at Johannesburg
and it appears that he never fully re-
gained his health. Since that time he
had lived in London.
Mr.. Belt, who is said to have been
the richest man in London and who
controlled the output of gold in South
Africa was at one time alleged to be
forming a "gold trust" in which the
names of prominent American finan-
ciers were mentioned.
He gave large sums of money to
the Red Cross and other institutions
and recently donated 100000 to found
a university at Hamburg.
Mr.. Belt was one of the richest men
in England, being worth $35,000,000 to
$50, 900, 600, yet he was seldom seen in
public and was hardly known outside
of the circles of finance.
He controlled the output and price of
the worlds diamond industry, had a
great dislike for notoriety, was very
popular with his intimates and was
usually referred to as the Little
Man."
