TO SAVE CHICAGO BABIES.
Increasing Death Rate Alarms Officials
Ignorance Of SIav Mothers Blamed.

Chicago, July 21.-The Chicago
health department has begun sys-
tcmatic warfare on the causes of the
high death rate among infants in this
city. In the week just passed there
were 151 deaths of children under oae
year Old. as compared With III the
corresponding week of last year. The
weekly health bulletin says regarding
this increase in rate:
Much of Chicago's increased infant
mortality rates of the last few years
is due to the increased Slavic popula-
ton. Our immediate efforts to reduce
the death rate further among the ba-
bios must therefore be especially di-
rectcd to the education of the Slav
mother in the care of her young.
The city council last week provided
a special fund of $4,000 for the hot
weather care of children, and accord
ingly IS physicians were placed in the
field. sixty We're assigned to the crowd
ed tenement districts.

NEW YORK YACHT CLUB
is PLEASED WITH IDEA.

New York, July 21.-The Kiel dis
patch conveying the intimation that the
Emperor of Germany is contemplating
challenging for the America cup was
read with interest by members of the
New York Yacht Club While many of
the more prominent members of the
club who are active in yachting are out
of the city, and no official statement
was to be had, the suggestion of IA
challenge from the German Emperor
was received with the greatest salts
faction.
An International yacht race with a
German yacht at Sandy Hook and the
German Emperor the challenger, would
mark an interesting period in yacht
ing. Until a definite challenge is re-
ceived, members of the club said moth
ing could be discussed relative to con-
ditions fC- a contest, though it is be-
lieved that the club will under no cir
cumstances accept challenge for the
America list under the international
rules now governing yachting contests.
The New York Yacht Club has stead
tasty insisted that all contests for the
America cup should be sailed under the
old rule which permits the construction
of racing machines of the Reliance
type.

FRENCH AUTOISTS MAY
ABANDON GRAND PRlx

Paris, July 21.-At regular meeting
of the sporting committee of the Auto
mobile Club of France here Monday a
proposition to abandon the Grand Prix
was informally discussed, but decis-
ion was postponed until the September
meeting.
The proposition was advocated by
Marquis de Dion, president of the club,
and his friends on the ground that a
contest for specially constructed racing
machines, with the almost invariable
attendant accidents and loss of life, is
not practicable from the standpoint of
either sport or as a test Of the merits
of machines manufactured for the pub
lie.
The prcpondcrance of sentiment at
the meeting seemed strongly opposed
to the abandonment of the blue rib
bon of the automobile world until the
French have an opportunity to retrieve
the disastrous defeat of July T. when
the event was won by German car.

Thaw is now behind the bars just like
any ordinary prisoner in the main part
of the county Jail on the top floor of
the court house. He is now in closer
confinement than he has been in since
he left the Tombs. Still he does not
complain, saying that any imprison-
mont is preferable to the MatteaWan
asylum.
However, ThaW feels confident that
Judge Mills will grant him q jury trial
at the next hearing on Sept u, and
that he will be adjudgcd sane and
granted his liberty.
Sheriff Chanler was a warm friend
of Stanford White. and he has always
felt bitter toward Thaw for killing the
architect He was in Europe when JUS
tice Morschausher first ordered Thaw
detained in the sheriffs room in the
Jail, and CHAMBERS friends say that he
was indignant when he heard of it.
Sheriff Chanlcr ordered Thaw put in
close confinement after stormy scene

"Cleanliness and sanitation prompt

on. Better place for Thaw; he'll be
healthier"
Sheriff Chanler refused within few
days to allow Thaw to so out for a
