ment:
For males and females the average
rate for Ireland and Wales was 90
per 100000 of population, against 4.3
for the registration area OF the United
States. In other words, there was an
excess of 3.7S per cent in the homi-
eide mortality of the United States
over the corresponding homicide rec
ord of England and Wales Compar-
ing males only the rate for England
and Wales was 90 per 100. 600 OF pop
uation. against 6.5 for the registra-
ton area of the United States, The
American rate. therefore, was 6.22 per
cent in excess OF the English rate
For females the English rate was eX-
actly the same as for males. or 90
per 100000 of population. whereas for
the registration area OF the United
States the females rate was per
100 Gee of female population.
rhe comparison brings out in start
ling contrast the disregard of human
life in the United States at the pres
ent time The subject is obviously
one OF most serious Importance, not
only TO life insurance companies, but
also to the public at large.

THREE AMERICANS RESCUED
Saved from Mexican Rebels as They
Were Writing for Ransoms.

Mexico City, Oct. 3.-Three Ameri-
can citizens were rescued by rural
guards today from rebels just as they
were being compelled at the muzzles
of rifles to write letters to friends in
the capital, asking for money for
their ransom.
The men were A. b. Skolen, L. j.
Slattery, and c. j. Miller. They are
civil engineers, and were engaged on
railway survey work when they were
captured by the rebels. and taken to
a camp near Amocamoca, thirty
miles to the south east of this city.
Their captors insisted that they were
probably spies or newspaper men,
and that in either case they should
be shot.
A body of rural guards made an OPP
perfume attack on the rebel camp
this morning and in the confusion re-
sulting from the sudden assault the
prisoners were abandoned by the
rebels.

U. S. STEEL LETS THEM LIVE
Former Associate of Carnegie Says
II Could Crush Any Competitor.

Pittsburg. oct. Julian Kennedy
a consulting engineer, testifying to-
day in the Government inquiry as 10
the United States Steel Corporation,
said that most of the Independent
steel companies of this country and
most by-product companies existed by
sufferance of the big corporation.
Jones & Laughlin, the largest compe-
titors in the country. unless the Re
public Iron and Steel Company is ex-
cepted. could be put out of business
by the United States Steel Corpora
ton, Mr. Kennedy told the investiga-
tors Mr. Kennedy was for years an
associate of Andrew Carnegie in the
steel business.
Former Secretary of War Dickin-
son asked Mr. Kennedy if he regard
ed the Jones & Laughlin Company as
the principal competitors of the Steel
Corporation.
Il do" said Kennedy.
Don't you think il would be diff
cult for the big corporation to put
this concern out of business?'
Il do"
"Do you think it would be impos-
sible?"
Il do not"
How about the Cambria Steel Com
pany?"
Il don't think they could live"
Even on the back of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company
1T just depends on the backing"
On cross-eXamination by Attorney
c. A. Severance Mr.. Kennedy was ask
ed If it was not an advantage to have
an abundant ore supply in connection
with ownership OF steel mill and he
said ii was.
well, don't you think it would be
advantageous to have a plant combi-
ming all the features in the manufac-
ture of steel -
yes, but I don't think the carrier
should be part of the system"
yes, I know that Mr. Kennedy:
but we won't try railroad rates here.
They will be tried by the Interstate
Commerce Commission
Yes, We viii try those rates here. -
interposed Judge Dickinson for the
Government.

The excessive rates prevailed always
