DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY OF 81.
100 OF New Representatives Have
Never Sat in Congress Before.

Washington. tentative official
list of the members of the house OF
representatives in the Sixty-second
congress was made public at the capi-
toll. 1t shows that the Democrats
elected 227 members. the Republic
cans 1913 and the Socialists 1, giving
the Democrats a majority of 81.
The list made public includes Rep
resentative Gustav Kustermann OF
the Ninth Wisconsin district among
those elected. Later indications are
that he is defeated by a margin Of
about five votes. The Democratic
majority, therefore, is 65. This fig
ure, it is believed, will prove to be
official. One hundred and twenty of
the new members have never sat in
Congress before.

Causes Of Death.
Badly Injured.

Chicago. A total of ii dead and
at least 40 badly injured was the
price paid for football by its follow
ers in the season just closing, despite
the use of the new rules, which were
brought into being in an effort to re-
form the game and make it less peril
GUS to the players.
That the new rules were successful
in keeping down the list of victims is
shown by decline as compared with
the previous year. In the season of
1909 20 players died and GA were Sc
riously hurt. Tive years ago there
was one less death attributed to the
game than this year. but 1874 were so
badly hurt that they required the at
tention of surgeons.
College players again led the list
as to the number killed and injured.
OF the dead five were college players
and II college men we're seriously in
jured. This. compared with the fact
that the high schools contributed five
deaths and athletic clubs only four,
and both the latter contributed a
greatly reduced number of injured,
would make it seem that the training
given to the college men doesn't do
away with the danger, as asserted by
some of the games supporters.
Conclusion Of the brain was the
leading cause for the deaths this year,
as has been the case in the past, but
it led by a much higher proportion
than in either of the two preceding
years. Most of the accidents which
caused this injury came from open
field tackles, while there was a de-
crease in the number of men hurt in
the mass plays.
