REMOVAL OF STORER
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TELLS
WHY HE WAS REDUCED.
Claims His Action Was Justified Be-
cause the Ambassador Refused to
Private Pondence-Answer Is
in Reply to Storer's Recent Expose.

Washington, Dec 11.-President
Roosevelt has made public long let
ter addressed to Secretary Root, Civ
ing correspondence between the presi-
dent and formed Ambassador Ballamy
Storer at Vienna, and Mrs. Storer, in
which he says that Mr.. Storer's refusal
TO answer his letters and the publica-
ton of various private letters justified
the ambassadors removal; that Mr..
Storer's publication of private CORES.
pondence was peculiarly ungentleman-
ly and that he ,~ne presldenD had
stated with absolute clearness his po-
sition, the reason why 1t was out of
he question for him, as president, to
get any archb bishop made cardinal,
through expressing his admiration for
Archbishop ireland, as we'll as leaders
of other denominations.
The presidents action follows the
publication of a confidential pamph-
let" which Mr.. Storer last week sent
to the president, the cabinet and the
senate and foreign relations commit
tee.
President Roosevelt requested the
Associated Press to say that no hint
or intimation of the Bellamy Storer
pamphlet containing the correspond
ence between the president and Mrs.
Storer was given out at Washington.
The former ambassador, the president
stated, not only sent his open letter"
to members of the cabinet, but to at
least a dozen members of the senate
and the house. He added that Mr..
Storer had no desire to keep the con-
tents of the pamphlet a secret. and
that undoubtedly 1t was his desire that
the letter find its way into print.

A recent report by the Census Bureau
contained some striking statistics In re-
gard to the leading causes Of death In
the United States. The States and cities
covered embraced more than two hfths
of the country's population. It ap-
peared from the figures that the aver
age annual mortality from tuberculosis
Of the lungs for the years 100O-1oO4 was
1926 per 100000 of population, and
that the general death rate has actually
Increased since 1902, in spite Of the
progress In sanitary and medical sci
ence. In view Of these facts the sec
ond annual report issued by the director
Of the Henry Phlpps Institute for the
study, treatment and prevention Of tu-
berculosis, DR.. Flick, should command
earnest attention. The conclusions Of
this document are based on observation
of hundreds Of cases, and there Is moth
ing technical about them. They empha.
size the truth that the consumption
problem is largely 4 sociological prob
lem. and that any serious student Of II
Is bound to deal with such questions as
housing Of the poor, the sweatshop sys-
ten. sanitation, child labor and so on
"Of all Diseases" says DR.. Flick. "tuber.
culosls more than any other is Il house
disease" The first step, then, In the
tuberculosis campaign is the agita-
ton Of the subject Of lt dwelling houses
for the poor. Light and ventilation
should be insisted on by the building
laws and by public opinion. In shops
and factories II Is hardly necessary
to add, the need Of these elements is
Just as great. Model tenements are ex-
cellent things, but they are excellent
only as models. In the nature Of things
there will not be many of them In any
large city, and the duty Of the authorl-
ties Is to prevent landlords from sacrl
fclng the primary requirements OF
health to extra gain Not little has
been said against apartment houses as
alleged breeders of consumption, but
Dr. Flick sensibly holds that "a greater
amount OF comfort, convenience and
sanitation Is procurable with the mon
ey Of laborlng man in an apartment
house than In a private house." provid
ed the former Is built with the proper
objects in view. There Is much Other
valuable matter in the report. but tn,
essential fact to be brought home t
the average man is that consumption Is
preyentable In the lnciplent stage ant
that no preventives are more effective
than fresh air, sunlight, rest and whole
some food. So far as children attend
Ing school are concerned, the boards Of
health and education can do much t
prevent the dreaded white plague,
but adults must look out for them
selves.

Yuma, Arlz., Dec. 11.-Once more
the entire Colorado river is flowing
into the Salton sink and Imperial and
Coachella valleys are menaced by ris-
ing waters The main line OF the
Southern Pacific must again be moved
to higher ground, unless the water can
be brought under control. A thousand
people in Salton basin must lose their
homes, including a quarter of mil
lion acres Of farming lands. the South
ern Pacific must build 200 miles of
new main limo, and irrigation about
Yuma must be abandoned. The gov
eminent laguna dam irrigation project
may become an impossibility. At a
conservative estimate not less than
25,O0O.0O0 of present values are at
stake upon the success of the efforts
TO close the break.
What is known as the Hind dam was
thrown across the new channel, and an
earth dixie was built up parallel 10 the
river for 10 miles. mainly in Mexico.

water found its way through both

thought to he serious. but was not

the fact that the entire river had
found it's way around the Hind dam

just barred. The dam itself is unin
