His First Official Act.

Mr.. McKinlays s. first official act was to
undertake a review of the affairs of the
establishment over which he will rule
pending the confirmation by the Senate
of his recess appointment, and at its
conclusion he expressed himself as emf
nentIy satisfied with the personnel of the
Office. He stepped into the customs SER
vice at one OF its busiest times, as the
Office has been rushed for weeks in pass
ing upon importations of spirituous
liquors which were hurried into this coun-

advantage Of the last days of the old

In Favor With Leaders.

While the democratic managers in this
county have not announced their prefer
ence for the congressional nomination,
there are good reasons to believe that
when they do show their hand it will be
favorable to the Frederick county man.
Inquiry among some of the leaders here
today failed to develop how the powers
that be- will line up, but there are evil
dences on all sides that the sentiment in
favor of the nomination of Mr.. Etchison
Is growing among the rank and file.
If the leaders pass the word down the
line in favor of Mr.. EtchiSon, and it be-
gins to look very much as if that is what
will happen, the Frederick county man
Will carry this county easily at the
primary election and make his nomination
probable.

CONFERS WITH LEADERS
H. DORSEY ETCHISON AFTER
DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT.
Frederick County Candidate Solicits
Votes in Montgomery for Con-
gressional Nomination.
Special Correspondence OF The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, August 6, 1910.
II. Dorsey Etchison OF Frederick spent
the greater portion of today in Rockville
in the interest of his campaign for the
democratic congressional nomination in
this district. He circulated among the
voters generally and held q number of
conferences with party leaders. He Great
ed the impression that he is very much In
earnest in his effort to crafty what he
described as 'laudable ambition" and
he told every one with whom he came in
contact that he considers himself entitled
to the support of the Montgomery county
democrats.
The principal argument that Mr.. Etchi-
son is using in this county is that Fred
erick county is this time entitled to the
congressional nomination. He points out
that twenty-four years have passed since
a democratic congressional nomination
has come to that county, and he asks
the voter If he thinks that a square
deal" He also refers to the fact that
Allegany county, from which his only
opponent for the nomination-David J.
Lewis-hails, has had five democratic
nominations for Congress within the last
eighteen years.
Receives Promises of Support.
Mr.. Etchison seems able to convince
the voters generally OF the justice of
his claims, and on the strength of his
arguments is getting many promises Of
support.
In discussing his chances for the nomi-
nation Mr.. Etchison stated that he feels
confident of winning. He was much
pleased, he said. with his reception in
Montgomery county, where he expects
to get the support of a very large ma
jority of the democratic voters. He said
that because of the close political rela-
tons and similarity of interests of Fred
erick and Montgomery counties the two
should stand together in this. fight and
he declared that he has found the demo-
Gratis of Montgomery pretty generally of
that opinion.

Better record is kept In this country
Washington, d. c., Sept. 27:-
of a pedigreed hog than of a child.
A record is made of a hogs birth,
of the events of it's life and Of its
death. Yet in over half OF the Unit
ed States a human being can be born
and can die without official record
being made of either event.
The United States is nearly the
only civilized country which does
not collect vital statistics. The Cen
sus Bureau has striven for years to
educate the, states to enforce the re-
cording of these most important sta
t~tstics. AS a result record is now
kept of the mortality or death statis-
tics for about 55.3 per cent. of the
total population. This year for the
first time the birth rate statistics for
some of the states will be published
by the government.
The territory in which the mortal
tty figures are recorded Is almost
wholly in the northern part Of the
country SO that 1t Is admitted by the
census experts that they are not a
sound basis upon which to estimate
the nations death rate, particularly
as to the high death rate Of the ne
gro population Of the south is elm
mated. The birth rate figures Will
not cover a large enough portion of
the total area Of the country to al
low Of any national estimate.
This discrepancy In national stock
taking is all the more striking be-
cause there Is no other country world
where more effort is made to record
material Every bushel OF
wheat, corn and oats, every ton Of
cotton Is accounted for and closely
estimated long before 1t is harvest
cd. The yearly estimate of the Agri-
cultural Department and Of the Cen
sus Bureau on grains and farm prod
ucts are now brought within five per
cent. of the actual figures.
But not once has stock ever been
taken of the annual national crop
of babies. An effort vas made to Sc
cure an estimate from Census Direc-
tor Durand.
ut Is something around two and
a half millions" he said, "but SO far
as that goes, anybody's guess is as
| good as mine on those figures.

KIDNAPPED SON

OCCURRED AT UNION HILL

Union Hill, N. J., Sept. 27.-Peter CT
r~fncion, six years old. son of a wealthy
Armenian dealer In linoleum, was en-
ticed from In front of his home By
two men in a carriage and driver
away with them.
Surrounded by other children, som
slightly older, Peter was playing or
the sidewalk when two men of swarthy
skin drove slowly along the block In 6
handsome basket carriage drawn by
two sleek ponies. The fine appearance
of the rig excited marks of admiration
from the children, but the men paid
no attention to these comments, driv-
ing up to the curb alongside of the
children.
Here, son." said one of the occu-
pants, a youth, addressing Peter, do
you want some candy?"
Jump in if you want it," the man
said, "and well 60 get some"
Peter stepped into the carriage and
they galloped away.

their way they met one Of his chums
and the latter told them Of the car
r1age incident. Cirincion dashed to po-
lice headquarters and told the story to
Captain Krieger.
Captain Krieger found that two
cents worth of candy had been pur-
chased by two men for a boy at the
confectionery store of @. Tiedemann,
Hackensack plank road and Clinton
avenue, about a block from the Grin.
cion home.
A further clew was given by a man
who said that he had seen the men
and the boy drive by on Plaisade ave-
nue. In the direction Of the West Shore
ferry.
Two detectives attached to Captain
Krieger's staff traced the carriage to
West Hoboken, after it had made a
dash to the ferry.

, original American stock is holding
Its W against foreign invasion. The
dire prophes1es of the anti-race-sui-
eide advocates are mere hazards and
viii be until they are based upon
accurate vital statistics.
The figures representing the death
rate In that zon In which mortality
statistics are accurately recorded,
certainly point out a crying need for
the collection of this data through
out the country.
1t is shown in these statistics that
the deaths of children under five
years constitute twenty-seven per
cent of all the deaths in that area.
This is far over half the total
population of the country. More
than one-fourth of the American
born population today never reach
the age Of five years.
Whose children are these that are
dyingf Where Is the heaviest of
death greatest among them? Why
are they dying? This information,
say scientists, would go a long way
toward pointing out the necessary
preventative methods for checking
this wanton infant waste.
An eminent student of the public
health, DR.. Irving Fisher, claims
that at the present rate Of infant
mortality, forty-seven per cent. of
those that die within their first year
and sixty-seven per cent. of those
that die between the ages OF two and
eight might be saved through a ma
tion-wide knowledge of conditions
and a rigid enforcement of known
sanitary laws.
Every year the Census Bureau. the
National Medical Association and
kindred organizations go before the
State Legislatures with their pleas
for the passage Of bills requiring the
registering Of all deaths and births
and the circumstances of them. And
every year in most of the states
bills are pigeon-holed.
The progress is slow, but It Is be-
ing made. Education is helping a
good deal and fear a good deal more
For instance there is constant fear
in the New England states of the de-
cline Of the birth rate which is now
supposedly the lowest II the coan-
try. Therefore these states are com
mencing to tally their births. Slow
ly but surely the United States will
be brought up to the level of other
great nations In the matter Of vital
statistics, the census officials hope.
