ACCORDING TO
 THE GOVERNMENT

Ketchikan is now passing through the throes of two epi.. denies, measles and whooping cough. While as rule, peo.. pie consider these very mild dis eases and think that all chil. dren should have them, 1t may mot be amfss for Us to consider something of their serious na.. lure as shown by statistics. Many parent has purposely exposed his child to these dis eases firmly convinced that he was acting wisely i'll so doing, and believing it to be to the ehild's welfare early to have and be over with the diseases of childhood, when in fact, the life of a loved one has been jeopardized, for these "com.. mon diseases" not only take heavy toll of the children of our land direcily, but they are also followed by results which may injure the child perman.. ently or shorten it's life. A re. port from the United States Public Health Service just re. ceived, gives the following: "Of all the deaths registered in the United States in 1910 BOT per cent occurred in children under 15 years of age; 19.2 per cent. was among children under one year of age; and 23.3 per cent in children under two years of age. .'' During this same year; the death rate per 100000 population from the measles was 1923, from whoop ing cough ll.4. Scarlet fever and diphtheria which are con-. sidered very serious diseases; per 100000 had a death rate .of iI.G and 2I.4 respectively. Through a period of Il years, German statistics show that the mortality among those at. lacked with whooping cough is under one year of age, 26.S per cent; between one and two years of age, 13.S per cent; between two and five years of age 3 per cent: and between five and 15 years of age, IS per cent. In America in 1911 whooping cough was the cause of the death of 10000 child. ren. These facts make 1t plain that these diseases seriously affect public health and de. mand earnest attention. We are not saying that every child who has these maladies should have the constant care of phy sician, but we do believe that they should have the most skill ful nursing it is possible to give them. Not only should measures be carried out to
The Ketchikan miner., 1912-12-13

lessen the danger of complica.. tions in those affected, but ev.. cry one should do all possible to prevent the spread of the diseases. The Common Coun.. cil is working to that end and most earnestly requests the co. operation of every citizen.

FORT SMITH GENERAL
 FUND HARD PRESSED
Warrants Sell At Discount, But Banks
 Cone to City's Relief.

Fort Smith, Oct. 24.--For the first c ty general fund warrants go at a discount. The city has expended so much city casa on new public inn provements that the general fund is exhausted, and aside from current source of income such as montly li- censes, etc.. nc replenlshment of the fund is expected before the next tax gathering time. This applies only to the general fund, all other funds hay ing snug cash balances. This is es- pecially true of the city water depart ment. When the city took over the water plant two years ago, paying the water company $500,0 for it, the district was bonded for million dol lars and s60O,0O0 in bonds were sold, for the payment of which taxes were spread over the improvement dis trict. With the money secured from the bonds and one annual assessment, the district paid the purchase price, put in over eight miles of new mains, and is now building new S5,000,O00 gallon settling basin, four-unit filtra- ton plant, and new pump house, with three modern high-power pumps the improvement to cost $120,000. Tn improvement will be completed this winter.
 At the time the plant was purchas- cd the taxpayers were promised that no other improvement district assess ment should ever be collected, but that the plant should be managed as to take care of itself and pay off bond interest and bonds. The 1911 assess ment was waived, and yesterday the city turned over to the improvement district $19.750 from the water fund with which to pay off $13,750, this years bond interest, and to retire $6,- coo worth of matured bonds Not withstanding this large payment the city water fund had last night over $13000 cash in the city treasury.
 The city depository bank yesterday agreed with the city officials to take care of all general fund warrants at 95 per cent until the stringency passes the city to turn all collections to the bank and allow no other dis position of warrants. With payment of all current months claims there will be deficit in the general fund

AN hRGENTA MAN KNEW LIEUT.. BECKER Formerly Resided in N. Y. East side-Acquainted
 With Principals.
BELIEVES HTn GUILTY
Says Becker Wanted to Get Ricl, Too Quich and Fried to Get
 It All.

Little Rock Oct. 2f.-"Becker want ed to get rick too quick; he wanted to get it all,' was the comment of Michael Berchcltz, Of 109 Main street Argenta, in referring 10 the case of Lieut.. Charles Becker, now on trial in New York for the murder of Her man Rosenthal, a gambler. MT. Bercholtz, who has been in Argenta fer about a year, and is engaged Nh the secondhand business on Main street, formerly resided on the East side in New York. and is acquainted mere or less intimately with many of the principals connected with the murder of Herman Rosenthal.
 Sam Schepps, who left New York and came to Hot Springs some weeks ago, and who was said ta have paid Becker's money to Rosenthal's slay- CTS, is friend of Bercholtz, and the latter went tc Hot Springs to See Schepps on one or two occasions, and was also called into consulta- ton by John w. Hart of New York one of Becker's attorneys. Mr. Hart and W. B.. (Ba) Masterson came to Little Rock from Hot Springs for the purpose of interviewing MT Bercoltz and obtaining what know ledge he had of conditions existing in New York prior to the murder.
 In commenting on the case few days ago MT. Bercholtz expressed the opinicn that Becker was guilty He said that when he was a resident of New York, Becker was a patrolman and his promotions had been gsined since he left there. He believed that Becker was making money so fast that he 'overreached himself and threw caution to the winds in an eff fort to further increase his wealth.
 He is acquainted 70 a more Or less extent wi Il the. gun men" under arrest for complicity in the murder, but is not familiar with their move ments of late. except through the newspapers. He is inclined to the opinion that all of the men supposed to be "gun men" are telling the truth in their testimony against Beckef.
 MT. Bercholtz said that Herman Rosenthal the gambler, who was killed, was one of natures noblemen compared with those who are sup posed to have conspired in his mur- der, and that he was we'll liked and popular with all who knew him. He does not think there is anything crooked about Sam Schepps.

Premier Reticent.

Washington, JAN 5.-This was a
day of intangible and wild rumors ana
proposals in the Chinese capital, Min
ister Calhoun cabled to the state de-
partment today. He said Yuan Shl kai
was exceedingly reticent and 1t was
gathered that some of the Manchus
had conceived what was regarded as
a quite impracticable solution OF the
present deadlock
This is said to involve the restora'
ton of peace upon the basis of mon
archy in the north and republic IN
the south of China, both of provisional
character. The two ultimately woulo
be merged into some form of govern
ment its character to be determined
by a plebiscite at some later date when
conditions became tranquil. This mer
ger is regarded as necessary to pre-
vent a further division OF China and
the seizure of the various weakened
sections and provinces by powerful
and voracious foreign powers.

COOLEST IN SEVEN YEARS
TEMPE CREATURES AS LOW AS 81
BELOW REPORTED.
Coal Shortage Throughout Kansas
Many Towns Start Public Work
to Help Needy.

Topeka, Kansas.-Kansas had the
coolest weather in seven years and
reports that have been received here
would indicate widespread suffering
over the state. The temperature was
1913 degrees below zero at $3.50 a. m.
and reports received at the railroad
offices showed temperatures as low
as 81 degrees below zero in north
central Kansas. Hutchinson reported
10 degrees below zero, while wichita
reported only IA below.
The coolest weather apparently
was along the Superior branch of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
from which came the report OF ~ de-
grees below zero.
There is a coal shortage throughout
the state and the blocking of the rail-
roads in southwest Kansas is sure to
cause suffering there for lack of fuel.
In Topeka the Santa Fee railroad turn
ed six cars of coal over to local au-
thorities to be distributed to the poor
in small lots.
Reports from many other towns say
that those persons who could not keep
warm in their homes, or who had no
fuel, were housed in hotels or in mu-
nicipal or county buildings Every
city and county in the state is taking
good care of the poor. A number OF
cities have started public works where
unemployed needy can obtain work.
In many towns on the roads the
railroad companies are dividing their
fuel supply and giving coal to the
people to prevent suffering.
