PNEUMONIA LEADS IN DEATH
RECORD IN SOUTH DAKOTA
-Four Hundred Eighty Victims Found
in 10OO-FOrty-S Are
Suicides.

PIERRE, S. D., March 13-(Special.)-
According to the reports OF vital statls-
tics filed with that department for the year
1909. there were in this state for that year
IL 400 childrsn born.
The death record for the year was 4,5ll.
OF this list the greatest number from any
one cause was from pneumonia, which led
with $50 victims. Most of the deaths from
this cause were in the winter months,
The deaths from tubercular affections
were 2s5, Of which 27s were pulmonary.
Forty-six suicides were reported poison
being the favorito method used in cases
OF self-destruction. Eleven murders were
reported. The total death list was 15G
greater than for the previous year.
There were 4,917 marriages recorded IN
the state for the year, more than 800 more
than for the previous year.
There were 43s divorces granted, about
40 less than for the preceding year. That
was the first year under the new divorce
law. and appears to have reduced the dl-
vorce industry, as only about half the
usual number came from other states and
Ia number Of the DEGREES so granted were
in suits begun under the old law.
Final citizenship papers were granted to
425 and first papers were taken out by
1626 foreigners. Most OF the applicants
were from northern Europe, but Greece
shows a larger number than for former
years
The birth rate shows an increase OF
about 5000 over the death rate for the
year, which Is a good Increase OF new

HITCHCOCK OUT FOR SENATE
Congressman-EditOr Puts Forth q
Formal Declaration.
WILL RUN AS A DEMOCRAT
II Successful in Securing Nomination
He VIII Invite the Republican
Candidate to Meet Him
ON the stump.
(Trom a staft Correspondent.l

WASHINGTON, March 13.-(Special Tele.
gram.)-Ju to prove that the expected
sometimes happens, and also to show that
he has no superstitious fear OF the thir-
teenth day OF the month, Congressman
Hitchcock today let loose of the formal
announcement OF his candidacy for the
United States senate, with prelude enter
ing himself for the nomination in the demo-
cratic primary.
Mr.. Hitchcock returned last week from
a hurried trip to Omaha to make sure that
the political outlook had not changed rna-
terialy since he last surveyed 1t, and 1t
is Understood made up his mind definitely
while there to cross the Rublcon and cut
off retreat by eliminating himself from re-
election as congressman and going after a
seat in the other end Of the capitol Mr..
Hitchcocl1's statement is as follows:
= Bys this means I announce myself a
candidate for United States senator to sue
coed E. j. Burkett, whose term expires
next March, L shall first submit my name
to the democratic voters at the statewide
primaries in August. II 1 then receive
the democratic nomination l shall ask that
my name be placed upon the ballot to he
voted for in November, when state officers
and members Of the legislature are to be
republican candidate for senator to join
in submitting the national issues of the
day directly to the people by means of a
series Of old-time public debates.
while the people are, unfortunately, not
permitted to select United States senators
by direct vote, tho election will afford
them an opportunity to express their sena-
torial preference when they elect the legls-
lature, and, under the oregon plan recently
adopted in Nebraska, the candidate indorsed
at the polls by the voters will probably bo
chosen by the legislature"
The announcement will create no more
surprise here in Washington than 1t does
in Omaha and Nebraska. II is to be noted
that Mr.. Hitchcock is going in as a demo-
orat and not as a populist, and also that,
while he wants to try a Joint debate with
the republican nominee for senator, he
says nothing about trying q Joint debate
in the primary campaign with his competi-
tors for the democratic nomination.

Many Measures in House.

In the house there are pending many mat
ters that will call out sharp debate, and
there is disposition on the part of many
members to let some Of them go by the
board.
These include the Mondell bill to permit
the homestead entry of the surface of coal
lands, which would involve $1,000 or more
acres; ship subsidy, a subject filled with
oratorcal dynamite; the construction OF
two battleships, which may be feature OF
the naval bill, and the question of author
izing the Issuance OF certificates of indebt-
edness or bonds to the amount of $50 OOO, ,OOO
to complete reclamation projects.
Polls are being taken on the question of
making appropriations to construct battle
ships and the question of anti-injunction
legislation along the line of the Moon bill.
The preliminary count is said to be opposed
to the battleships, but the attitude OF the
house on the subject Of the Moon bill has
not been disclosed.

Text of FIremen's Reply.

The letter says.
Your letter of this date March 1O
wherein you state that tho managers COM
mittee declines to further consider matters
in controversy has been received and in
reply our committee instructs me to say:
IF there is to be a great railway strike
the responsibility must and will rest upon
the managers committee. That there may
be no misunderstanding concerning this
responsibility our committee hereby pro-
poses the submission Of all matters in dts
pute to an adjustment by arbitration,
The public has been informed through
the press that matters in controversy can
not be arbitrated, because they involve the
authority Of railway officials and the dis
cpline OF employees. This statement our
committee emphatically denies.
The officials OF many railways repre-
sented by the managers committee do not
hesitate TO confess the gross injustice per-
petrated under present practices.
Our committee directs me to request
the managers committee, through you II
this proposition 10 arbitrate is not accepted
by the managers committee that you
notify us at your earliest convenience"
Osition 81 Naiironda
The railroads previously announced their
willingness to arbitrate the Increased wage
demand, which the flremen say would
amount to about 121f per cent Two other
demands involved, the managers say, con-
Germ discipline and authority and are not
open to arbitration. These points have to
do with the promotion of firemen and
questions whether, when they become

tion of the brotherhood.

out the following statement:
I'VE have received Mr.. Carters letter,
which to the layman who is not thor-
oughly familiar with the methods of la
Dor organizations would appear to ba
somewhat serious and point to a strike.
l wish to say that this is merely one OF
the methods unfortunately invoked in con-
Quoting such negotiations and it is not
likely that the men would sanction the
action of their leaders in calling strike
over one or two technical points. We do
not feel the slightest apprehension over
the difficulty, The managers In due time.

answer to the flremen's committee and We

Bills Will Bear Little Resemblance
When Ready for Conference.
SENATE WILL MAKE CHANGES
Cummins Will Open Debate in Favor
of Certain Amendments.
HOUSE COMMITTEE AT WORK
1t Has Made Several Radical Changes
ana VIII Make Others Before
Measure is Reported This
Week.

WASHINGTON, March 1a-Although
Identical when introduced in the two houses
OF congress, It is now evident that the
measures to create a court Of commerce
and amend the interstate commerce laws
will bear little resemblance TO each other
when the deliberations of the two bodies
have been concluded. In the house COM
mittee many of the administration theories
in regard to the Issuing Of stocks and bonds
and the merging Of non-competing lines
have been shattered and the end is not
in sight so far although already much
amended the assaults on the bill will con
tinue on the floor
While the opposition to the adminlstra-
ton bill was not strong enough to amend
the bill in committee, 1t is now conceded
that several important changes will be
forced on the floor. The debate on the
bill will begin either tomorrow or Tuesday.
Senator Cummins will open the discussion
in support Of certain changes advocated in
the minority report of the senate COM
mittee. He may speak for several days.
Practically all of the 'insurgent" senators
will speak on the railroad bill and there
will be many speeches also from the demo-
cratic side. No one estimates that the
debate will be finished in less than six
more time will be consumed.
Bill Ready for House.
An effort will be made by the house
committee on Interstate commerce to report
the bill this week and It is probable there
fore that debate on the same subject will
proceed simultaneously at both ends of the
capitol. This would create o. very unusual
situation.
Statehood legislation, which has passed
the house, and postal savings bank legisla-
ton, which has passed the senate, have
been sidetracked for the administration
railroad bill The postal bank bill. in view
of the fact that hearings have been ordered
Thy the house committee on postofflces and
post roads, will not reach the floor for
several weeks, and in all probability not
until the present session draws near a
close
The general impression is that it will not
emerge from the committee until after the
Moon anti-injunctlon bill, which is favored
by the administration, has been reported
Regardless Of the fact that the postal
bank bill, the anti-injunction measure,
statehood legislation and the administration
conservation measures are all part of the
administration program, there is not appar-
ent anywhere positive force pushing them
for consideration. II the debate on the
railroad bill lags to the extent that has
been freely predicted, 1t may require a
presidential message to instill new life in
the other features of the executive pro-
gram.
