negro ran the faster.
Many of the bystanders Joined in
the chase the negro making straight

steep levee slope and on into the
river about ten or fifteen feet whese
he fioundered about for a minute,
struggling to keep afloat Wharf
master John Barry threw the drown
ing negro one end of a rope but he
failed to grasp it and after few
more struggles sank beneath the sur
face. An effort was made to re-
cover the body by graphing for it
but without success.
No one could be found who knew
the name of the negro but it was

PRINCE: HENRY

THE: YACHT RACES
Urges That Many Germans Enter
AS Contestants In Marble
head Events

Berlin, Sept 8.-Prince Henry of
Prussia has taken the initiative in
regard to German participation in
the German-Amerlcan sonder-class"
yacht races, which were won by the
American boats at Kiel last year and
which are to be repeated at Marble
head in 1913. At meeting of
yachtsmen called by him, steps to
bring out large field of German
challengers were taken.
The desirability of sending over
three types Of boat, one for light
winds, one for moderate breezes and
one for heavy weather, was recog-
nized, and yachtsmen planning to or
der new yachts for the international
struggle were asked to communicate
with the Sender Glass Committee of
the Imperial Yacht Club, so that the
new craft should be divided as even
Iy as possible among the three
classes
Slight hopes for success are enter
tanned as the German designers have
not SO far produced a single boat
markedly superior to those defeated
last year, while American progress
is taken for granted

Government to Investigate Cause
OF Decline and Suggests
Remedies
Associated Press Dispatch.

Paris, Sept. S.--The French Gov
ernment is considering serious meas
ures for combating the decline in
the national birth rate, which last
year showed a falling off of 32,S69
births as compared with 1910. The
Minister of Finance has appointed
a Commission to investigate the
causes of the decline and to suggest
remedies. M. Klotz himself will
preside and among the members will
be b. Ribot, M. Cochery, M Bien-
venu Martin and M. Caillaux.
In emphasizing the Importance of
immediate action in France is to
maintain her position in the world
M. Jacques Bertillon, the -meinent
statistician and brother of the int
ventor OF the fingerprint system of
identification. points out that,
whereas a century ago 81 per cent.
of the population of the Great Euro
pean Powers were French, today the
proportion is only II per cent. Form
erly French was the most wide-spok-

tongue Of only 45,000,000 as compar-
ed with 100,000,000 who speak Ger
man and 130, 100000 who speak En-
glish.
AS for remedies, M. Bertillon in
sists that Frenchmen must be taught
to regard child as burden which
its father supports for the benefit
Of the whole community. In order
that family should pay what 1t
owes to the State, he says, it should
consist of at least three children,

An imposing list of army generals
mas been detailed to participate in
the naval manoeuvers in the North
Sea this autumn aboard the battle
heet. They are headed by Field
Marshal wonder Goltz, reorgani2er OF
the Turkish army and Germany's
hrst strategist, who, it is generally
assumed, would command the Ger
man forces if war were to break out;
and include Gen. Won Moltke, chief
of the German general staff; Gen.
Won Heefingon, tryhister of war;
Gen. Mudra, chief of the Engineer
Corps and inspector general of for.
tilications; Cen. Gallwitz, inspector
general of field artillery and the
commanding generals of the third,
fourth and nineteenth army corps.
The assignment of so distinguish-
ed a party of officers to the naval
manoeuvres indicates that more en-
phasis is now laid upon the co-opera-
tion of the army and navy In a pos
sible future war than before was the
case, and it will undoubtedly cause
perturbation in England among
those preaching the possibility of a
German invasion of Great Britain
under cover Of the strengthened
German feet.
