Special by United Press Wire:
Lakewood, May 2:-When card
was sent to Mrs. Grover Cleveland at
II O'Clock this morning asking the
condition of Grover Cleveland, 1t
was returned bearing the message:
Nothing to say"
Every inquirer at the hotel met
with rebuff. No one there would
discuss the Illness of the former
President. DR.. Joseph Bryant spent
all night at the hotel and would not
discuss the patient. The report con-
tinues persistent that the real nature
of the Illness is incurable stomach
trouble.
New York, May 2. = When asked
whether 1t was Grover Cleveland was
suffering from cancer of the stomach,
as reported, DR.. ]. d. Bryant Of 80
West Forty-eighth street, the former
presidents physician, refused to an
swer directly, saying he could not
make public diagnosis of patients
case. That Cleveland has been staying
In the Lakewood hotel in Lakewood
N. j., for the last ten days with his

BOOM RICE AS
THE NOMINEE
FOR CONGRESS
The Democratic Candidate from
Third District MAY Be Atlantic
Highlands Man.
IS A DELEGATE TO DENVER

That the democratic nominee for
congress from the third district this
year will be NJ A. Rice, of Atlantic
Highlands, was asserted by prom
inent Monmouth county politician
while in this city yesterday after
noon.
The Monmouth man told a NEWS
reporter that Mr.. Rice would in all
probability be the candidate, as he
had practically been endorsed by the
organizations in Monmouth and Mid
dlesex counties.
II have heard" said the politician,
''that Perth Amboy expected to
choose a man, but, nevertheless the
nomination Will come from my coun-
ty. Monmouth is red hot for Rice
and he has strong backing through
out the district" Local leaders when
questioned by a NEWS man, refused
to make any statements. except that
they had heard Mr.. Rice's name
mentioned favorably.
Mr.. Rice is prominent in both
Monmouth and Ocean counties and
is the delegate with w. Parker Run
yon, of this city, to the national
democratic convention at Denver in
July.
1t is understood that there will be
considerable disappointment through
out the county If Monmouth is allow
ed the nomination, as in 1905 Mon
mouth nominated David Harvey, of
Asbury Park, who was defeated by
BENJAMIN +. Howell. If Monmouth
wants it, the nomination will prob
ably come from there, although Mid
dlesex is really entitled to the honor.
1t was rumored last week that
Senator Brown of Ocean county,
would oppose Benjamin F. Howell
for the republican nomination for
congress this fall, but according to
local politician who is very friend
ly with the senator, Mr.. Brown has
stated that he would not accept it.

PUBLIC HEALTH
A PUBLIC ASSET
VAST ECONOMIC LOSS CAUSED
BY PREvENTABLE
DISEASES.
YET IN 80 YEARS SPAN OF LIFE
is HEIGHTENED
SIX YEARS.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Professor
Irving Fisher, political economist at
Yale university, who in one of his
papers before the recent internation-
al tuberculosis congress, declared that
consumption costs the people of the
United States more than million
dollars a year, is preparing an ex-
haustive report for the national con-
servation commission, which will con
tain not only these figures but similar
data on the economic loss to the coun-
try from all other preventable dis
eases.
At the tuberculosis congress, Pro
fessor Fisher declared that $4,000
persons die of consumption in this
country every year. The cost of med
ical attendance and the loss of earn
ings before death average at least
$1,000 in each case, while if to this
is added the money that might have
been earned with health, the total
loss in each case is about $4,000. He
pointed out also that the disease US
ually attacks young men and women
just at the time when they are be-
ginning to earn money and cuts off
their earning power for about three
years on an average, before they die.
This subject of the economic value
to the country of a general raising
of the average health came UP in the
governors conference at the white
house in May. DR.. George M. Kober
presented figures which showed that
| the decrease in the vital assets of
the country through typhoid fever in
a single year is more than $3.50, 000,.
1000 Typhoid is spread by polluted
water largely so that the death rate
from this disease can be directly re-
duced by the publication of city
drinking water. DR.. Kober quoted
statistics to show that the increased
value Of the water to the city OF Al
bany, where the typhoid fever rate
was reduced from 104 in 100000 to
rs by an efficient filtration plant,
amounts to $475,00O a year, of which
4
s35O,000 may be considered a real In
crease to the vital assets of the city
Census figures show that the aver
age annual death rate from typhoid
in cities with contaminated water
supplies was reduced from 694 per
100, 900 to 1913 by the substitution OF
pure supplies.
DIR. Kober cited estimates showing
that the average length OF human
life in the sixteenth century was be-
tween Is and 20 years, and that al
the close of the eighteenth century II
was a little more than 80, while TO
day it is between 38 and 40-indeed
the span of life since 1880 has been
heightened about six years.
