DEMENTED BOY ELUDES
NURSE AND DISAPPEARS
Son of Attorney While III Escapes
from Restraint and
Leaves Home

Unable to endure the restraint I'M
posed on him by a nurse who watched
him constantly, David P. Stafford, the
15-year-old son of Attorney w. P. l..
Stafford of 456 South Bixel street,
eluded his attendant under the pretext
of going to the bathroom on the ground
floor of his home and made his escape
from the place last night.
The lad became unbalanced a short
time ago, it Is said, and his actions
were of such a nature that his father
kept him under close watch and yes
terday employed a nurse to take care
of him.
Shortly after 9 o'clock last night the
lad awoxe and asked the nurse for
permission to go to the bathroom. The
leave being granted, he donned a bath
robe and went downstairs. The atten-
dant waited a few minutes and when
the lad failed to return went after
him. The door to the bathroom was
open and the lad was not there.
A search was made of the premises
and it was found that the boy had
made his escape by rear door. After
making inquiries in the neighborhood
and being unable to find any trace of
the lad the father went to the police
station and asked the detectives to as
sist in locating the boy.
The lad is thought to have obtained
a suit of clothes before leaving the
house. He is described as being feet
7 inches in height, is of slender build,
has dark eyes and brown hair.

DISPUTE OVER RAILWAY
MAY EXCITE GUATEMALA
United States Likely to Be Asked
to Settle Disagreement
on Concessions

GUATEMALA CITY, Tuesday, Sept.
1s.-It Is possible that the American
state department will be asked to in
tervene in the controversy that has
grown out of the extension of the Mex
lean Central railroad into Guate-
malan territory.
In 1908 the Guatemalan Central rail-
road, an American corporation, was
granted an exclusive concession to
extend it's line to the frontier of Mex
leo, thus completing another link in
the Pan-American railroad system.
Preferential right was also granted to
build q bridge to connect this line with
the Mexican Pan-American railroad.
Late in 1909 a company of which
David K. Thompson, formerly Amer
lean ambassador to Mexico, became
the president, and the son of President
Diaz, one Of the directors, purchased
the Mexican Pan-American railroad.
In January last President Thompson
secured from the government of Qua
temala a concession allowing him to
build a bridge across the Suchiate
river and establish a terminal for the
Mexican line on Guatemalan soil.
This brought forth a vigorous pro-
test from the American line, the own
ers of which assert that their interests
have been jeopardized. The Mexican
Pan-American railroad has since
passed into the hands of the Mexican
government, though Mr.. Thompson
has retained the ownership of the con-
cession of the bridge which the gov
ernment line will use.

SHOW DEATH RATE LOW BUT
GREATER THAN IN ENGLAND
Census Bureau Estimates 10 in
Each 1000 Died Last Year

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.--The death
rate in the United States in 1909 was
fifteen in each one thousand, accord
ing to a bulletin issued by the census
bureau, and this is the lowest average
recorded for this country. The figures
cover only the cities apd states having
laws requiring the registration of
deaths and these represent an estl-
mated total population of S93, or
552 per cent of the estimated total OF
the entire country.
The states included in the summary
are California, Colorado, Connecticut
Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachu-
setts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont,
washington and Wisconsin.
In addition to these, returns were re-
ceived from fifty-four cities having To-
cal registration laws.
The total number of deaths recorded
was 732,538, of which 39S,59 or over
65 per cent were of males. The great
est mortality occurred in March and
the lowest in June In 1908 the rate
was 1914 per cent, the last year indi-
eating a falling off of ab-'lt one-half
of per cent.
Excellant as the showing is, 1t was
not so good as was made in England
where the rate was only IA 1-2 to the
thousand. The low rate in both coun-
tries is attributed to the absence of
widespread epidemics.

Pre-Convention Fight Between
Old Guard and Progress
Sive Is Closed
PLATFORM is BEING DRAFTED

of the Bitterest in Party
Annals
Associated press1

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The pre-
convention fight between the Republi-
can old guard and the progressives
virtually closed today. After a day of
conferences with politicians from va
rious parts of the state Col. Roosevelt
said the chances for victory were even
better than yesterday, when he pre-
dicted that the progressives would
have a majority of at least 100 dele
gates at the Saratoga convention next
week.
Col. Roosevelt spent some time today
in going over the draft of q platform.
A direct primary plank in particular
was considered at length, but on one
was willing to say how it should be
shaped. Tariff and labor planks also
received careful consideration.
Resolutions pledging support to The-
odore Roosevelt in every step he may
take in his effort TO popularize party
and to effect equal oppor-
tunity In business through the di-
vorcement of business and politics
were adopted here today at meeting
of the executive committee of the Re-
publican league of New York.
A telegram also was sent to Presl-
dent Taft expressing approval of the
stand he took in his letter to Lloyd c.
Griscom defining his attitude in the
contest between Col Roosevelt and the
old guard.

"Seventh--We would strengthen the

STRUGGLE AT SARATOGA
TO BE SHORT AND FAST

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-Pre-
pared for one of the bitterest strug-
giles in the annals of Republican poll
tics, for control of the state conven-
tion, the old guard moved on Saratoga
tonight.
Timothy L. woodruff admits the
contest will be class, but is still firm
in his belief that the convention will
indorse the selection of Vice President
Sherman by the tate committee as its
temporary chairman.
1T is quite true" said Mr.. Wood
ruff, "that we have lost some delegates
from districts we had reason to expect
would support Mr.. Sherman, but as an
offset to these losses, we have assur-
ances from other quarters that dele
gates claimed by the progressive will
be recorded in the Sherman column.
