WOULD CHECK
RUSH TO CITIES
NEW YORK COMMITTEE CALLS
\ ON GOVERNORS OF THE
STATES TO TAKE
ACTION.

New York, Nov. 3O.-New York
clty's committee ON congestion of pop
ulation has addressed TO the confer
ence OF state governors I'm Louisville,
KY. request that methods of dis
tributing population be taken up for
consideration
In The opinion Of the committee no
question so urgently requires stimuli
taneous action by the various means
to stem the cityward tide of popula-
ton. Overcrowding. IL is urged. ex-
acts a heavy toll in disease and death
and private initiative is inadequate TO
stem the flood.
I'm pointing out that there is an un-
economic drift to the cities, the COM
mttee says in part:
Whereas. i'm 1900, there were i'm the
country only 100 cities with a popula-
ton of $4,000 or more, there are this
year at least 226 cities in that class.
their total populations being approx
imately 2s,OOOOOO The population of
these cities has increased since 1900
41.1O per cent, nearly three and a half
times as rapidly as the rural popula-
ton.
at is well known that immigrants
crowd into the cities, where their
death rate is usually much higher
than the rate among the same races I'm
rural districts with ordinary healthy
conditions. and also higher than the
death rate in the same cities of nat
i've born Americans. This is i'm large
measure due to the poverty of imnri-
grants and their inability for long
time to earn sufficient TO afford a
healthy standard of living.
Most of the western states. and
even some of the eastern, have mill
| IONS of acres Of land undevelopcd and
waiting cultivation, or clearing and
retaining. Despite this fact, how
ever scores of thousands of able -rbod-
led immigrants become anchored i'm

pendent farmers or permanent farm
laborcrs. large proportion could pro-
'luce enough to maintain themselves

HOUGHTON- DEPARTMENT
VESSEL INSURANCE LIMIT
HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED
IN Cleveland dispatch SAYS:

A Cleveland dispatch says:
TO be insured on the last run, boats
will have TO sail before midnight Nov
ember 80 and there will be a rush TO
get ships out in the next two days.
That decision was reached at a meet
ing of the advisory committee of the
Great Lakes Protective association to-
day when the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved that as the United States
government officials have decided to
discontinue the majority OF aids 10
navigation on December 8, and the
weather bureau has decided TO dis
continue its service December 6, il is
the judgment OF this committee that
no extension should be granted beyond
midnight November 80. as any boats
commencing voyage after that date
doubtless would have TO make the
voyage, or at least part of il. with
out government aids TO navigation.
No applications for extensions have
been made and underwriters say that
II any are granted, an additional rate
of at least l per cent viii DE charged.

respective quarters and from these
men eight will be picked to represent
their companies Each company has
built a nine-foot plank wall FOR prac-
tice. Last evening at the armory a
number of young men went through
the work OF climbing over the wall as
well as they knew how. Some OF
their Efforts were mdicrous while 9TH

the case with the Naval Reserves. who

CHICAGO HUNTER PAYS SIS

dent of Chicago, purchased a non

" Clerk Richardson's Office. paying
S25 for the privilege OF hunting one
Gay i'm the woods Of the copper coun-
try. Mr.. Huseby stated this morning
that he wants TO enjoy himself at least
one day during his stay in the copper
country. no matter what the cost.
In the opinion of Huseby, local MINI
rods, who grumble at the cost of a
common license, which only costs
$3.50, should consider themselves for
tunate TO live in such a country as
this. However, as most OF the hunt
ers have already returned from the
woods. IL has been suggested that per-
haps Mr.. Huseby wished TO avoid the
bullets of those suffering from buck
fever. 1t is also whispered that Mr..
Huseby has sailed the tail of some
little deer in the woods and that the
deer will march right up and let the
hunters put a bullet through his era

which gave evidence of having been
wounded before probably last season.
The right fore leg has a swelling, hard
as bone, which is probably the result
of a broken leg caused by the bullet
of some hunter who failed TO track
the deer. The little doe has evidently
been hopping about for a whole year
as the result of this wound.
