One-fourth OF the total mortality in
the federal census registration area
OF the United States occurs at or un.
der the age OF 2.6S years.
Medical schools fail to give ade-
quate training to medical students 10
enable them 10 fight the conditions
giving rise TO such tremendous por-
ton OF the total mortality. Pediatrics
is, at present. treated generally under
the head OF general medicine. though
infant mortality involves many condi-
lions which are not comparable with
any ailments in adult life.
IL is generally admitted that one
halt OF the infant deaths is prevent
able. Medical schools do not give
sufficient attention TO the subject of
hygiene or prophylaxis.
Education is conceded to be the
greatest factor in the prevention of
infant mortality. Medical schools do
not train men as TO make them cap.

LANSING, Mich. Dec. S.-The pris-
on convict labor commission is expect
ed to recommend to the legislature,
early in January, that the system or

fit them for some special line when
they are released. They think the
change cannot be effected in less than
two years.

ner, is chairman, met here yesterday.
The following members were also
present: Ex-Judge Adams, OF Kalama-
700; Senator-elect Freeman, OF Fen

Church and state collided in Alexandria
porarily. at least While other cOnse-
quences may develop from the ''run-in. -
one result stands out prOminently-Alex-
andria has full-grown church on rollers.
In the middle OF Columbus street, with
red lanterns warning drivers Of the OBJ
struction, the little Second Baptist Church
stood through the night. Beneath II were
four big rollers. whose progress had been
peremptorily stopped by the strong arm
Of the law when the edifice was being
moved 10 a new site.
A short time ago, the congregation of
the Second Baptist Church received no
tice that the church must be removed
from the site at Columbus and Pendleton
streets. else the building would pass into
another's hands. 1t was decided TO
move
Permission was obtained from the city
council for the removal OF the building
to a site some distance away, and several
moving men were consulted. Yesterday
they put the rollers under the building put
their shoulders 10 the rear OF the church,
and gave the eollce an auSpicious start
on its career toward new home.
Just when the rollers were beginning
to creak tunefully. up stepped the law.

catiOns-Hyman Wiener in IgnOr-
ance OF the Use OF His Name.

Philadelphia. Dec. at am Hyman
Wiener"
This was the startling statement made
by Wiener himself just as his father.
Leon Wiener, Of Boston, with the dead
body OF the man he had identified as
his son. was about to leave for the New
England city. The dead man had on
Monday n sht last shot and killed Po-
lieeman Barnett and was shot and in
stanty killed by the officer Just before
the latter lapsed into unconsciousness.
This sudden and unexpected turn in the
case, following the murder of the police
man, puts the local police department
again up in the air as TO who the dead
man really was. Wiener's father came
from Boston and made positive identi-
hcation of the dead murderer as his son.
Starts on with Body.
The return to Boston. after having
satisfied the local authorities that he was
the dead mans father, was scheduled
for tonight. The body had been placed
on board the train. and the elder Wiener
had taken his seat In the car when word
was rushed 10 him that his son was
alive.
The surprise was sprung after the
arrest of Alexander Mcdonald. an auc-
tioneer from Boston. who came to this
city with Wiener a month ago, and was
arrested to-day as an accessory before
and after the fact OF the murder of the
policeman. Mcdonald viewed the body
at the morgue and protested that II was
not that OF his friend. Notwithstanding
the positive identification of the elder
Wiener. At the hearing Mcdonald was
held In heavy bail, but he still stoutly
declared that Wiener was not dead. and
that he had seen him the day before.
Then detectives got busy.
Like an Apparition.
This evening Hyman Wiener appeared
at the office of the Cigarmakers' Union,
where he was known. When he ap-
peared the secretary and others who had
seen Wiener before stared aghast. They
could not believe that a dead man had
ccme TO life. and they were sure the
body OF the dead man had been identified
by his father. In wonderment. they ques-
toned the visitor.
Il am Hyman Wiener" the young man
said. and when told it. was believed he
had been shot and killed and his body
had lain in the mOrgue four days he
was as much surprised as the others.
He explained the story by saying that he
had been working regularly and had
no time 10 read the newspapers.
This Is the first intimation I had
Of the whole affair."" continued Wiener.
My mother is sick and l am afraid
this thing may kill her 1 want TO clear
it up so that she will not suffer from
the thought that has buried me and
that I am a murderer"
Wiener senior started for Boston with
the body while the police were learning
Of the mistake.
