The cause OF this greatly increas.
ed death rate among the foreign
born cannot be charged to climatic
conditions. for | have found that the
Chicago and Illinois born have about
the lowest death rate from cancer of
any people in the world. For many
years the average being death from
cancer in every 400 deaths among
these people. and hut one cancer
death in 72 among the native Chi.
cagoans over 30 years Of age.
"a study was made OF the number
Of deaths from cancer in the fifteen
sanitary divisions of the city Of Chi.
cago as well as in the public nstitu.
tions and especial attention was Civ.
en to the relation to the population.
nativity. occupation. sex. age. race.
diet, and their sanitary. hygenic. soc.
ial and economic conditions. the idea
being to shed some light upon the
abnormally high death rate Of some
naiionalities in Chicago. the low
death rate of others, and the com.
parative immunity Of Illinois and
Chicago born persons. compared with
the higher mortality of other Amcri.
can born residents Of Chicago
1T was found that the Italians
made their staple diet Of macaroni
and spaghetti Cthelr national dish).
that the Chinese adhered to their nat
ional diet of rice. while the nations
showing a higher mortality consum-
ed large quantities of canned. pre-
served, dried and picked meats,
sausages. etc, often eaten uncooked.
While these preserved meat foods
are eaten to n certain extent in their
own countries, the higher wages Of
America permit indulgence in them
to a greater extent, while the greater
cost of fresh meat Is an add Il in
ducemeut to the consumption OF
these articles. 1t va found also,
that the bulk OF fresh neat prepared
at the plant of a slaugh;cring com
pany, where STOCK condemned ante
mortem by government, state aud
city inspectors is slaughtered. is eat
en- by the poor. About 81 per cent
OF stock. held for slaughter; upon
being conde mned on ante-mortem in
spectlon, and after diseased organs
and parts have been removed, Is fin
ally passed upon and enters the mar
ket. either as fresh meat or in the
form of meat food products, and Is
largely consumed by the foreign
poor. My investigations at the Chi
cago Stock Yards show that the ma
jority of the stock condemned ante
mortem for tuberculosis, actinomy'
cetosis and cancer. as well as those
principally used as "canners' are fed
ON wet malt or distillery slop.
There cannot be the slightest
question but that the great Increase
in cancer among the foreign born
over the prevalence of that disease
in their native countries, Is due to
the increased consumption OF ami
NAL foods. particularly those deriy'
ed from diseased animals
1t will be noted that DR.. Adams
conclusions in no way reflect upon
the quality OF meats prepared at the
Chicago Stock Yards for the export
trade.

.HASTENS DEATH
BY BUTTING

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Almost
with his last breath Percy L. Wells,
civil engineer of Waltham,, Mass,
arose from his deathbed at the Grand
Central hotel.
Just as he was about to sign his will
he dashed his head against the wall
with such force that he died a few
minutes later.
Wells was about "a ears of age and
had been in Guatemala for two years
engaged in railroad work. He arrived
in San Francisco April 2 In the last
stages of consumption. He became
crazed with grief when told that he
could not live to reach his home and
see his mother and sister before dying.
He sent for an attorney to draw up
his will and every effort was made by
physicians to keep him alive until the
document was prepared.
A few minutes before it was ready
Wells suddenly arose from his bed and
hurled himself head foremost against
the wall.

FAILS TO AGREE
WITH PRESIDENT
Nicholas Murray Butler Says Roose-
welt Does Not Thoroughly Under
stand the Japanese Situation
in San Francisco
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 5.-President
Nicholas Murray Butler has returned
to Columbia university from his honey
moon trip to the Pacific coast.
DR.. Butler says that he disagrees
with the attitude of President Roose-
welt regarding the Japanese question.
He believes that the people of San
Francisco are fully justified in exclud-
ing the Japanese from their schools.
Speaking on the Japanese question he
said:
THE California sentiment on the
Japanese question has not been made
entirely clear. The whole school ques-
tion, about which the recent discussion
arose, turned in reality upon the ad-
mission or exclusion of adult Japanese
side by side with little children in the
public schools learning the English Ian
guage. AS to the wisdom of this there
can hardly be two opinions.
1.-The feeling against Japanese, which
has been voiced largely by the Japan
ese and Korean Exclusion league, did
not have a particularly creditable ORR
gin, but has been strengthened among
certain classes who fear the Japanese
as competitors
1.-THE more thoughtful Californians,
however, believe that the so-called prob
lem of oriental immigration can be
more satisfactorily settled on national
rather than on local lines and thus
conserve the best interests of the
United States and the dignity Of the
people of China and Japan themselves.
"The more violent expressions in re-
gard to this matter seem to me to be
the least representative"

BY Associated Press.

HAVANA, April 5.-There is much
subdued excitement here over the ex-
pected arrival Sunday of Secretary
Taft because of belief that he will
make definite statement regarding
the date of the end of the American in
tervention in Cuba.
The Conservative newspapers, recog-
nizing that enmities engendered during
the revolution of last August have not
abated, express no hope for the early
withdrawal of the American author
tiles, while the Liberal organs, on the
other hand. declare the country to be
pacified and ready for new elections.
The Liberal generals, in spite of their
failure to establish party harmony in
Puerto Principe and Santiago prov
inces, are now making last effort to
this end in Pinar del Rio for the pur-
pose of showing Secretary Taft that the
Liberals are united in favor of the
provinces.

LONDON, April 5.-The Daily Mirror
claims to be in a position to announce
upon "the highest authority that the
emperor of Russia proposes to abdictate
within a month and that Grand Duke
Michael will be appointed regent during
the infancy of the czarevitch. For the
past three or four weeks, the paper
says, events in this direction have been
proceeding with lightning like rapidity
in st. Petersburg but the secret has
been we'll kept.
Lately" says the paper, 1.-The en-
peror's mind has given way even more
completely and he has shown himself
incapable of performing the smallest
duties of his rank"
The lower house of parliament is to
be abolished and there will be formed a
military dictatorship with the object of
stamping out revolution and putting an
end to anarchy in Russia. The paper
declares further that a marriage has
been arranged between Grand Duke
Michael and Princess Victoria of
Schleswig- Holstein, and that the visit
to London OF the dowager empress Of
Russia was chiefly for the purpose of
negotiating this marriage.
Count Beckendorff, the Russian am
bassador to Great Britain, in an inter-
view regarding the story published in
the Daily Mirror expressed surprise
Herewith and said he had heard moth
ing official or otherwise to confirm these
statements.
He did not believe them, but on the
other hand discredited the story en-
tirely. Baron Sternberg, the Russian
consul general here, when questioned
regarding this story said IL was all rub

Portions of three towns were devas-

a million dollars was done.
The tornado began at Alexandria,
