of 21 IS per thousand. Such a rate com pares favorably with that of many parts of the United States.
 "One of the highest railroad officials in the United States has recently stated that the sanitary expenditures on the itsthmus would have been per cent of total cost when the canal had been fin- ised; that he thought that the sanitary results accomplished had been worth many times the amount spent. and that he believed that these same measures would, as a matter of economy, be adopt ed in all future works of this kind. How much more emphatic might he have been if he had known that, instead of costing per cent of the total appropriation, they had actually cost less than l per cent of the total appropriation for all pur- poses.
 While the great work in tropical sani- tation, of Laveran, Ross Reed. Finlay, Carter and many others. have enabled the sanitary department on the isthmus to take a vital part in the work of build ing the canal. thus is not the greatest goed that we hope, and expect, will flow from this conspicuous object lesson. We hope that our success at Panama will in- duce other tropical countries to try the same measure; and that thereby grad ually all the tropics will be redeemed and made d suitable habitaton for the white man.
 T therefore wish to say most emphatic ally that considering the results and diff ficulties surrounding the subject, the san itatipn of Panama has not been costly. When the canal shall haye been finished

GORGAS WRITES ON
 PANAMA SANITATION
Chief Sanitary Officer Gives a Short History of Work in the
 Panama Zone

The leading article in the current num- Der of the Journal of the American Med ieal association on Sanitation at Pan ama,' is by Col. W. C. Gorgas, chief san itary officer of the canal zone After de- scribing the topography of the canal, Colonel Gorgas says, in part:
 ''rhe health conditions at Panama when the United States took charge, in 1901, were very bad. For 400 years this isthmus had been considered the most unhealthy spot in the world and the mortality rec ords will sustain this opinion. The of ficial pilot chart, in 1903. says:
 "'The Panama canal district is one of hottest, wettest and most feverish regions in existence. Intermittent and malignant levers are prevalent, and there is an epi- demic of yellow fever at times The death rate under normal conditions is large
 Prom the best information which can get, and which I consider accurate, I can get, and wsich I consider accurate, believe the French lost 22,1s9 laborers by death from 1881 to 1889. This would give rate of something over 240 per thousand per year. l think it due to the French to say that we could not have done a bit better than they, if we had known no more of the cause of these trop- ical diseases than they did.
 The great discoveries in tropical medi- cine made during the time between the coming of the French to the isthmus and the coming of ourselves, however, name- ly that certain species of mosquito. trans init both yellow fever and malarial few CTS, have enabled us to protect ourselves against these and other tropical diseases
 The French, with an average force of not more than 10,200 men, lost in nine years 22,1s9 men; we, with an average force of 5000 men, iu nearly the same length of time, have lost less than 400O The death rate among the French em- ployes was something more than 2fO per thousand: our maximum rate in the early days was 10 per thousand; our rate at present is 7.J0 per thousand Malaria, from a maximum of s21 per thousand taken sick-i. e., that out of every thou sand of our employees in the course of the year, we have S2 taken sick with rl;;Iaria-we have reduced at present to ;S7 per thousand. But most important of all yellow fever has been entirely ban ished. We have not had a single case since May, 1906, now a lapse of almost six years. The general death rate has been reduced from a maximum of 49.94 per thousand to a rate, for the year 1910,

THREE ARRESTS
 MADE IN NOTED
 LEW|SbURG CASE Claude and George Ellard and Henry Burford in
 County Jail WARRANTS WERE ISSUED BY CORONER Are Results of Present Investigation Under Way by COroner's Jury.
 Ellards Accused of Killing W. H. Rhea

Following investigations by the cor oner's jury, warrants for arrest were served yesterday for Claude Ellard, George Ellard and Henry Burford, charging them with killings in the Lewisburg district, covering a period of possibly year.
 Claude and George Ellard are charged with killing William IT. Rhea, who was killed January 12. 1909. George I1llard was arrested yesterday morn ing at East Lake, where he lives, by Deputy Sheriffs Brown and Helton, up- on a coroner's warrant He was placed in jail on a mittimus from Judge l. H. Benners of the court of common pleas. He is cousin of Felix Ellard, who was killed three weeks ago.
 Claude Ellard son of Felix Ellard, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Chris Hartsfield and o'clock
 Henry Burford was given a habeas corpus hearing yesterday morning be- fore Judge Nesmith in connection with his charge of being implicated in the killing of Felix Ellard and was dis charged on account of having estab- lished that he was in Birmingham the time of the killing.
 As he left the Court room Deputy Sher- if Charles Helton stopped him and served a warrant charging him with com plicity in the killing of George Schuma- ker at Lewisburg several months ago, a certified copy of a bond charging disturb ing public worship and another with shooting on Sunday. He had been out on bond upon these charges for some time but his bondsmen delivered him to the sheriff.
 All of these arrests have grown out of work that is now being done by the coroner's jury. The jury is still grind ing away and ss fast as they get through with witness he is taken straight across to the grand jury and examined again. It has been rumored that there will be another true bill returned within day or two in connection with the Lewsburg killings.
 Sheriff McAdory and Solicitor Hefin have both expressed confidence of un- raveling the mysteries in that commun- ity before many moons.
