IN NEW YORK
TO SAVE THE BABIES
Nathan Straus Tells Berlin
Congress How Deaths
Have Been Lessened.

BERLIN. September l3.-Nathan Straus,
the New York philanthropist. told the
third international congress for the pro-
lection of infants yesterday that New
York is working out plans to save 125,OO0
babies a year. In his report official
delegate from the United States, Mr..
Stratus said $4,000 babies under one year
died in America in 1909. OF these 49,
OG died from intestinal disorders, due to
improper feeding, or from infectious dis
eases, due often to disease germs con-
veyed to the babies in the milk.
1t has been completely demonstrated
in the United States. Mr.. Straus said,
that such deaths can be prevented. Point
ing out that the infantile death rate had
been reduced from $50 out of every 1000
born in 1850 10 16J out of every 1000 in
1903 Mr. Straus said the United States
expects to reduce the rate to 100 or less.
Mentioning briefly his own pioneer dem
constructions of how babies can be saved,
he went on.

Views of Hospital Board.

'Manitestiy." the report says the
Senate of the United States regarded with
little fa<or the obtrusive zeal of those
who are insisting that Columbia Hospi-
tai should fall a victim to its own de
votedness. Since the hospital has been
maintained distinctly in the judgment of
Congress who is it that wants to eY-
tinsuish the institution? Who advocates
and urges il? And for what purpose?
To try an experiment elsewhere? There
Is not, within or without the DistriC, of
Columbia, disinterestad practicing ply
stefan or surgeon who would advocate

The report of the hospital blames the
board of charities for not sending the
full quota of patients provided for by
Congress Last Year Congress appropri-
ated 10000 for the support of the hos
pital. 70 be paid provided enough INDECENT
patients were treated to call for this

Samuel Benn, Wappensteln' mlillon- aire father in-law, of Aberdeen, IS be- lieved to be in Alaska safe from pro- cess servers of the grand jury for the present. A man by the name of Ben IS known to have sailed for Sitka, Alaska, on July 5. On the 8th, just three days later, it is announced that Mrs. B. B. Benn, daughter-in-law of Samuel Benp. also sailed for Alaska.-P.-I.
 The windswept and shoal waters of Controller bay, Alaska, were given up some tina ago as possible harbor by the Guggenheim interests, says George w. Evans, geologist and engineer who has made five inspections of the coal fields north of Controller bay, and is thoroughly familiar with the operations of the vrrious interests in their endeav- ors to get in that country.
 The proposed railroad from Haines Alaska, up the Porcupine, through the Kluane and on to the Tanana by way of the head of the White river will open up what is Cnquestionably the greatest, richest and longest mineral belt on the American continent and proba bly, the grestest wealth along the line is that which will be found in Yukon territory. We refer to the rich placer ground in the Kluane, where for years good wages have been made by the most primitive system of mining known. But once the country-is penetrated by railroad, eliminating the gigantic cost of trans portation, dredges and hydraulic plants will be installed and tons of gold wilt be taken from that district, where but ounces are taken at present.-White> horse Star.
 Declaring that their business and the interests of the city have been injured by alleged misstatements made in an editorial in the June issue of Hamp> tons Magazine, under the title, "An Opportunity for Congressional lnvesti. gation," the business men and the com. mercial organizations of Cordova have com bined efforts and obtained legal ad- vice on what course of action to pur> sue The statement to which the Cor dovans object says that the Copper River & Northwestern railroad has abandoned CordoVa harbor and moved to Controller bay upon land recently opened by President Taft. The citi. zens assert that this statement is in> correct, and that it has resulted in turning investors and home builders from CordoVa and is injuring the bus. mess of the city.
 A careful investigation of the estis mates made by the managers of the banking institutions of Fairbanks indi- cates that the placer outputs of the dis, tricts tributary to Fairbanks will reach a total of S5,000,000 for the year 1911, This is a conservative estimate. Unex. pectedly rich pay and acceleration of the quartz output may bring the amount up to s6,OOo,oOo, thereby equal ing last years output. Up to June l, the time by which most of the winter dumps have usually been cleaned up, the receipts by the banks approximated S1,000,000. There has been no lack of water and the labor supply for the pur. pose was satisfactory. Indications are that the water supply will continue to suffice, but the supply of labor may be affected by the reports of new strikes, which may cause stampedes.
