Eyg VITAL STATISTICS FOR MONTH OF JUNE
Births Double That Of Deaths
Six Sets Of Twins@,121 Births
2.159 Deaths.

Austin. Tex.-R P. Babcoek, state
registrar of vital statistics, mas suo'
mitted his report for June as follows:
June proved to be a very singular
month; in fact, it might easily De
termed month of oddities. FOR e1-
ample: Tarrant County reports the
death of a white man from eatlns
matches; Howard County, the death
of little white boy, two years OF age,
from abscess caused by melon seeo'
a male Mexican died in Ell Paso Coun-
ty from hiccoughs; white man IN
Wood County died from sunstroke, and
a colored man in Upshur County from
lightning; a baby boy in Brown Coun-
ty died from a spider bite, and Z
year-old colored boy in Coleman Coun-
ty from rattlesnake bite. Five old
folk lived past the 100 mark.
There were 2,159 deaths reported-a
decrease from May of $40, against
2,942 of the corresponding month in
1911.
twenty-one births were reported for
juneau increase of 101 over May,
and a decrease of 100 over the CORE
spending month last year. OF this
amount As sets of twins were reported,
an increase over May of Is sets, and
of June, 1911. There were 1862 more
births reported for June than deaths.
1t is of especial interest to find that
meningitis is practically thing of the
past, there being only 50 deaths re-
ported for June. This is a marked de-
crease of Al over May. Pellagra, as
has been proven, is summer disease,
"a deaths reported, an increase of II
over May and an increase of over
June, 1911.
1t is more than gratifying to find
deaths from tuberculosis reduced to
179, IS less than May and IS less than
in June, 1911. At the same time, the
heat of summer has placed diarrhoea
and enteritis under two years at the
head of the list of leading causes of
death-246 babies having been report
ed as dying from this complaint, a
gain over May of 1S and of "a over the
corresponding month of last year.
Nineteen suicides were reported;
food poisonings; IA deaths from
burns; "a accidental drownings; ~
dental cuttings; deaths from falls:
/ death in mine; 10 crushed to
death; q murders.

Opinion by Martin j. keoah Is That
Release of Whites Slayer Would
Be Menace to Public Safety.

White Plains, N. Y.-Harry K.
Thaw, in the eyes of the law, is still
insane and must remain in the asylum,
where he was placed on February l.,
1908, after he had killed Stanford
White. Justice Martin ]. Keogh Of
the supreme court denied Thaw's ap-
plication for freedom. The court took
be dangerous to public safety.
In his opinion Justice Keogh briefly
sketched the history of several efforts
of Thaw to obtain discharge from the
hospital
I'm May, 19O8," he said, "he (Thaw)
obtained a writ OF habeas corpus to
secure his discharge on the ground
that he was then sane. The question
of his sanity was carefully inquired
into by Justice Morchauser, who, in
an able opinion, decided that he was
then insane and that he would be un-
safe to set free.
"1n June, 1909, another writ was Sc
cured in his behalf, an exhaustive in
quiry was had into his sanity and a
lucid opinion was written by Justice
Mills, in which he decided that he was
then insane and that 1t would be dan
gerous to the public peace and safety
to grant his discharge"
1.-THE present writ was obtained to
secure the release Of Thaw on the
ground that he is now sane and the
question of his sanity Or insanity was
the subject of an inquiry occupying
eighteen days, during which he had
the aid of the most able and faithful
counsel.
"My whole duty is fully performed
when | decided the single question
presented for decision; namely: is
Harry Thaw at present sane or in
sane, and would his release be dan
gerous to the public peace and safety.
Having listened to all the testi-
mony, l am of the opinion that Harry
X. Thaw is still insane and that his
discharge would be dangerous to the
public peace and safety"

Movement, which was held on that
date The observation Of Tuberculo-
sis Day in the fall this year will be uti-
lized by anti-tuberculosis workers not

An old darby with an old gray mule
hitched to a ramshackle wagon stood
on the incline of Capitol hill, in Wash
ington, during one of the worst sleet
storms in January.
The old man huddled in his rabbit
skin cap shivering, the mule trem-
bling with the cold. Two congressman,
waiting for belated car, were attract
ed by the strange outfit and wondered,
as time went on and the darby made
no effort to depart, what allied the old
fellow.

and said: Why don't you move on,
