The ratio Of deaths to births among

Glasgow 1877; New York, 1928; Paris,

a higher rate than New York, and SO
did all the English cities except Lon

1t is in the summer that the Angel
of Death oftenest spreads his wings

recently said, "We cannot make peO-

the tenements, the foul, stagnant air,
and the spoiled food. especially the
sour and impure milk, strike down
young and DID,; but, most of all, the
helpless babies. Yet our government
has appropriated millions for the

millions more to cure the diseases OF

CROPS IN THE WEST,
Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson Says
They Are Very Large.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Sept. 9.-"Busi-
ness and agricultural conditions
throughout the West and Northwest
are notably prosperous. The crops
this year scarcely will be bumper crops
In the ordinary sense Of that term, but
they will be very large"
This statement was made today by
Secretary Wilson, of the Department
of Agriculture. who returned today
from an extensive trip consuming
practically two months, through the
country west OF the Mississippi river.
The corn crop will be made now
within a couple Of weeks" continued
Secretary Wilson. Recently, the
weather conditions have been very
favorable and if frost should hold
off two weeks longer, the crop will
be a good average, although as I
said, not a bumper. All of the crops
are fairly good; better, perhaps, than
we had reason to expect earlier in
the year. The wheat crop is thresh-
In govt finely and is Of excellent quail
ity. Oats are good, but the crop is
not very large.
People throughout the sections
which l visited are well satisfied with
conditions. The ware making money

BALLINGfR SETS
DATE FOR HEARING
Hetch Hetchy Question Will
Come Up for Oral Review
on May Is

WASHINGTON, April 6.-An oral
hearing on May Is has been granted
by Secretary Ballinger to representa-
tives of the city of San Francisco on
the question of the permit granted to
that city authorizing the contingent
use of the Hetch Hetchy valley as a
source of water supply for the city.
Several civic associations also have
requested to be heard in the matter,
and the date for the hearing has been
fixed sufficiently far in advance to en-
able all persons interested to appear.
Some time ago Secretary Ballinger
called upon the mayor and supervisors
of the city and county officers to show
cause why the permit relative to Hetch
Hetchy should not be revoked, and the
officials were given until May 1 to
make reply. The granting of the re-
quest for on oral hearing does not af-
feet that arrangement.
The officials also have been informed
the reports of engineers who visited
the park last fall will be open to in
spection by the accredited representa-
tive of any persons or organizations
participating in the hearing. The en-
gineers reported that Lake Eleanor
valley was amply sufficient to meet the
present and prospective needs of San
Francisco for the purpose of a water
supply.

career" as president. which, he hoped
would soon be resumed.
At the same time Roosevelt received
letters from relatives of high prelates
and cardinals condemning what they
styled the personal attitude of Car
dinal Merry del Val, for which neither
the pope nor the Catholic church was
responsible"
On the other hand, Roosevelt re.
ceived the following letter from DIR
Walling Clerk, head of the Methodist
organization in Italy:
The incident connected with the
article written by Rev. B. NJ. Tip
pie for the American press has
caused me untold regret. / was
not aware the article was written
or sent until Tuesday afternoon,
when it was brought to me by a
newspaper correspondent with the
statement which you gave out
Tuesday morning.
If 1 had known Mr.. Tipple's in
tention l certainly should have
used all my influence to prevent it.
Let me assure you the MethodistS
of Rome were not responsible for
the article. Allow me once more
to express my admiration for the
courageous position you have
taken iin the face of the demands
of the Vatican. Methodists of
Rome Will not forget it.

and toward everything that his
holiness and all Catholics hold most
dear.
The Methodist center in Via Xxx
Settembre Systematically joins
hands with the worst and most
anti-clerical and anti-papal ele-
ments in Rome, and they do so
notoriously and in the most ag-
gressive and insulting manner.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself has had a
mild and limited sample of their
attitude in the declaration just
published by them and which he
has felt bound to disavow.
The holy see, after the unfortu-
nate Fairbanks incident, had every
reason to fear Roosevelt, unwit-
tingly and in perfect good faith,
might be led into showing open
sympathy and friendship for this
hostile center of aggression against
the Catholic church in the heart of
the Catholic world. Consequently,
when Roosevelt applied indirectly
and confidentially for an audience
with his holiness, the pope, the wish
was courteously expressed that he
would avoid being drawn into the
Objectionable position of appearing
publicly to support the offensive
campaign against the pope.
Roosevelt replied, refusing all
conditions or agreements, and thus
allowed the possibility of his ac-
complishing what would be often
sive to his holiness.
This was amply confirmed by his
own secretary, OLaughlin, who,
when asked whether, without any
formal promise or expressed con-
dition, Roosevelt would, as a mat
ter of fact, not go to the Meth
odist center in Via Settembre, re-
piled that he could give no such
assurance, and that, in his opinion,
Roosevelt was just the man to do
it.
In view of this attitude, the audi
ence became impossible.
1t is simply a question of common
courtesy, and surely common cour-
tesy is not. incompatible with the~
rights and freedom of an American
citizen

YEARS IN PRISON
Judge Dunno Refuses to Grant
New Trial for the Killing OF
Bernard Lagan
Defense Bases Appeal ON Re.
marks to Jury and Obtains
Ten Days Respite

A sentence of seven years imprison-
ment IN San Quentin was imposed by
Judge DurAne upon former Police Captain

Bagan heard the sentence pronounced
without culver of emotion
The maximum punishment for man
slaughter is 10 years Imprisonment
and in looping of three years Judge
Dunno took into account the jurys
recommendation 10 mercy. With good
conduct ConbOy can reduce his term of
Incarceration to four years and nine
months.
Attorneys J. j. Dunno and Robert
FerraI showed. however. that the dis
missed police captain does not intend TO
accept the verdict and sentence as final.
An appeal will be prosecuted, and for
this purpose a stay of execution of the
sentence for 10 days was obtained.
Meanwhile COnbOy will remain at the
county Jail Motions for a new trial
and In arrest of Judgment were denied.
In brief argument Attorney Dunno
indicated that Conboy's principal
lance will be placed upon the cOnten-
tion that Judge DUNES remarks to the
jury when they returned to court late

dict. You are to be guided in this case

Attorney Dunno said the verdict was
affected by those remarks. Assistant
District Attorney McNutt answered that
the defense did not except to the
judges remarks at the time. Dunno.
however, maintained that the judges
remarks were an instruction. and that
all instructions are deemed excepted to.
In denying the motions and in i'm
posing sentence Judge Dunno made no
comment. There was a big crowd in
court. and COnbOy was followed up the
street as he left in company with
deputy sheriff. AS he passed Maxwell

attorney on the shoulder and said.
