CALCUTTA, December There has
been some difficulty in finding out the
truth about the recent Dacca murder, at
first supposed to be merely the crime of
two students against their comrade. 1t Is
now known that the victim, Sukumar
Chakravarty, was a member of the local
"samiti,- or corps of boycott volunteers
He had been arrested few days earlier
in connection with KIDNAPPING case
against the samiti and was released on
bail as an informer. He then disappeared.
His body was found with the face hid
eously mutilated. The headquarters of
the samiti were searched and seditious
literature was found, together with ma
chine for making cartridges. The au-
thorities are of the opinion that the MUIR
der was political.

day morning, Rev. Walter H. Stone, for

PARIS BIRTH RATE Law.
DR.. Bertillon Gives the French Some
Startling Statistics.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, December 7.-While France has
painfully but successfully regained her
old position among the nations of Eu-
rope, she is today confronted with a
danger the result Of which. unless a
remedy be discovered, is fundamentally
certain, and is only question Of time.
DR.. jacques Bertillon gives under the
heading 1.-The Man-devouring Town" some
very startling statistics in LIE Journal.
Not only, he tells his readers. lis the
birth rate in French towns rapidly dwin-
ding. but in most of them more of the
people depart this life than enter it, 1t
is not that the death rate is rising, but
that the birth rate is incredibly low and
steadily diminishes.
DIR. Bertillon's researches extend over
twenty years. In Paris, between 1887 and
1880, the average annual number OF
births was 5000. The total has fallen in
1907 to 5O,S11, although the census OF
these twenty years shows an increased
population, mainly due to influx from
the country of half a million. In 1887
1890 the birth rate was % per thousand
inhabitants; today it is between 10 and
10. In nearly all the large towns more
die than are born.

| a board of army officers assembled at
| the War Department this afternoon to
consider the report made by Capt. Fred
| erick F. Russell Of the Medical Corps OF
the army, giving the results Of his study
| in various parts of the world Of the
| means for the immuniZation of troops in
| the field from typhoid fever. Capt Rus
sell found that in a British regiment sta
| toned in an unhealthy part of India one
half Of the organization had not a single
case of typhoid after vaccination. while
| the other half had fully the usual per-
centage. The board is to take up the
question whether the troops Of the United
| States Army should be vaccinated to pro-
tect them from typhoid fever.
The board consists of Brig. Gen. Robert
| NJ. O'Reilly, surgeon general, U.S.A.
First Lieuts. Victor c. Vaughan, William
T. Councilman, John H. Musser, Alexan-
der Lambert. Simon Flexner and William

For the five days these officers will
serve on this board they will receive the
pay and allowances Of their rank in the
army. If they comply with regulations it
may also be said that they will have spent
for uniform and equipment several times
more pay than they will receive. But they
will have the honor of having served
their country In a military capacity and
the country will have had the benefit Of
their invaluable services at a cost con-
siderably less than the amount involved
in the usual honorarium
DR.. Harlan Shoemaker of Philadelphia.
member Of the Sd Regiment of the Penn
sylvania National Guard, recently inocu-
lated himself and several others with anti
typhoid serum, and regards himself and
the others as immune from the disease.
These are said to be the first inoculations
of the kind in this country, and the re-
suits will be watched with interest.
How the Vaccine Acts.
Il inocuIated myself and the other three
subjects twice with dead vaccines at in
tervals of eleven days." said DR.. Shoe
maker. THE NEGOTIATIONS were made hy-
podermically and they took at once. Re-
action set in within several hours, when
a fever developed. which generally re-
mains about four days. There is slight
pain at the point of puncture. 1t Is much
similar to being vaccinated. The second
reaction following the second incubation
was slighter than the first.
THE method Is not at all new In Eng
land and was used in Africa during the
Boer war with good results. Sir Almroth
Wright originated the method and de-

What Unionism Does.

"Unionism may not bring the college to

bring the sons and the daughters of many
workingmen to the doors Of the univer-

them there well clad. well nourished in

mind that enables them to claim the
greatest heritage Of American citizenship

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
April 81, The market here was
active last week and prices adj
vanced 10 to 20c on steers and
25 to 35c on cows. There was
nothing very choice offered in
the steer line, most of the good
grades here selling at $500 to
S5.65 though choice stuff would
bring $500 and better. Cows
were wanting and selling to good
advantage. A bunch of choice
cows brought $3.50 the highest
price paid here for several weeks
and other good grades sold at
81. 25 to $4.85. Medium to fair
cows brought S3.75 to S4.25 and
Gamers and stock cows sold from
SO. so down. Bulls brought SO. so
to 81. 25. which is higher than
week ago. Veal calves were also
higher tops selling at S6.75.
Feeder and stocker trade was
light as receipts were light. Bulk
of the good steers offered sold at
$3.50 to S5. 10 and right fancy
stuff would have brought a little
more. Fair to good grades went
at S4.00 to $3.50. Today's mar
ket was weak to 10c lower be-
cause of heavy receipts and low
er markets east. A string of
fancy steers sold at Sc. .25 and
choice cows and heifers brought
S5. 10 to $50.
Hog trade was good during
the week but prices at the close
are lower than a week ago. Bulk
of hogs sold today at S5.274 to
to IS. 35.
Sheep trade was light as re-
ceipts were light. Demand was
fair but prices weak to lower be-
cause of declines East. Ewes
sold at S5.75 to $3.50. lambs at

An irrigation law has passed
and $40, 900, 600 is going into
various large projects TO furnish
the arid lands with the water
that will open them to the uses
of agriculture and insure that a
part of the crops will always be
secure from drought. A pure
fooc law is in force. Our inter-
ests in the Pacific have been
looked to with vigorous effective
ness. Rel a tions with Latin
America have been strengthened
by marks of friendly interest.
Army and navy show progress.
All forms of production and in
dustry have been stimulated and
American wages maintained.
The savings of the people are
vastly greater than they were
ten years ago. A panic of linn
tied extent occurred last fall,
whose cause is said to have been
a lack of sufficient currency to
carry on the immensely aug
mented volume of trade. A
temporary loss of confidence had
something to do with it. Monop-
olistic trusts have been made to
feel that the power of the people
will be used against them. This
summary of what the Republi-
cans in national control have
done since 1896 could be much
extended, but the samples given
are amply convincing. Globe

ing paragraph:
eve commend to the careful
notice of our citizens the atti-

Guggenheim, who plead the needs
of the people of this state at the
hands of the national congress,
and it gives us pleasure to know
that he has introduced and is
working for the passage of a bill
for the establishment of a gov
ernment building at Montrose.
We also call special attention to
the fact that Senator Guggen-
helm led the Colorado delegation
in the effort to secure an addi-
tional emergency appropriation
to finish the Gunnison tunnel in
time for the use of the water for
the crops of 1909. We extend
our hearty thanks both to him

who have responded so loyalty to
the request for assistance from

AS in Montrose
So in Delta.

Montrose primaries were held
Monday of last week to elect
delegates to the county conven-
tion held Saturday following. In
commenting, the Press empha-
sizes the great number of new
comers added to the Republican
ranks and their enthusiastic in
terest and work in all party mat
ters.
In the voting down of contests
and controversies arising, the
m ority was overwhelming.
which proved the party harmon
ious to remarkably large per
cent.
The same condition can justly
be claimed for Delta county.
That an overwhelming majority
of the new blood is Republican,
the states from which most of it
came is evidence. If more evil
dence is needed it will be given
without restraint at the polls in
November.
There is every reason why as
great or better harmony should
prevail in Delta County Republi-
can ranks as in Montrose or
anywhere. There is no need of
a single dissenting element. The
party in Delta county will GER
tainly take care of itself. 1t has
the will, the strength, the loyalty
and the patriotism to do it, and
that will mean a clean sweep for
the Republican ticket, from top
to bottom in November.
