Notes from New

New York, Dec. 6.-Patrons of the
Keith vaudeville circuit next week
expecting to see and hear Marie
Lloyd, the London singing comedi-
enne, who after admitting she came
over with a jockey not her husband
was permitted to enter the United
States by the same board of immigra-
tion officials who barred Mrs. EN-
incline Pankhurst, militant suffra-
gette, are doomed to disappointment.
The United Book Office in New York
cancelled Miss Lloyd's contracts be-
cause of her Irregularities and eccen-
tricities. On several occasions Miss
Lloyd failed to appear and gave "ill-
ness" as her excuse. On other occa-
sions, when her position on the bill
did not suit her, the English music
hall artist sang her songs in slip
shod manner that displeased the man.
ayers. The climax came when Miss
Lloyd was summoned to the U. B. O.
headquarters this week, after she
failed to appear at the Orpheum the
ater, Brooklyn.
f. F. Albee, manager OF the U. B.
o., sent for Miss Lloyd to reprimand
her. Pat Casey carried the summons
and brought the singer to the offices.
In the elevator they met Albee and
Casey introduced the English woman
to his chief. Marie failed to catch
the name, and launched into a gen.
eral TRADE against the American
vaudeville methods, in which she paid
her respects to Albee in the best terms
of the London 'alls. When they got
upstairs Albee cancelled her contracts.
There is reason to believe that Martin
Beck of the Orpheum circuit may take
similar action. There will be nothing
left then for Marie to do but to go
back to London. The United States
immigration authorities who held her
up at Ellis Island admitted her only
because of her contracts and her
agreement to leave when they expired.

NEW YoRK's DEATH RATE.
And the Reasons Why It Has Been
Falling

From the Brooklyn Standard.f MON.
The revision downward of New York g
death rate continues, which is an excel
lent reason why 100000 people should
rejoice. This city is now close on the
heels of London. whose mortality figures
are the lowest of any of the world $
largest municipalities For the forty eight
weeks of this year the death rate has
been 1877 per 1000. while Londons was
1852 for 1912.
The record of the past four years sim
ply shows what can be done with one of
the city's most important il not actu-
ally the most important department when
il is administered with thorough dlsre~
gard for political and other outside in
fuences. The decline in the mortality
rate has been steady since Tammany' $
hand was removed in 1909. And II is like
Iy TO continue its downward course now
that the Tiger has been securely shut
out.
The health department has achieved
it's most signal success in reducing deaths
among infants. That, of course. was the
field that promised the best result and
the one which needed the most careful
attention. The milk question is now be-
ing scientifically handled, and infanttie
diseases consequently have greatly dimln-
ished. Moreover. parents know tar more
about sanitation and other health rules
that they did a few years ago

One of the medical lecturers at the
annual meeting of the Society for the
Study of Alcohol and Other Narcotics
warns his audience that We are In
manifest danger of "degenerating to
something worse than monkeydom.
We have been threatened SO often with
the dreadful consequences of strong
drink that it is a novelty to hear of
the damage done by other narcotics"
For it is the others, it seems, that are
turning us to monkeys-and especially
opium and its derivatives. Ii Dr. keisters
facts are true the state OF affairs is
certainly alarming The consumption
of opium in this country. according to
his calculation, is fifteen times as great
as that of Germany. Austria and italy
together; and only 20 per cent of all
the opium imported finds its way into
legitimate medical practice" The IL
legitimate use of it in medical quarters
is quite astonishing, for 1t appears that
among doctors almost one in every
four is now victim of the morphine
habit"
This is all extremely disturbing. but
we would be glad to know where Dr.
Keister got his facts. We would be
glad to learn not only how he counted
up the doped doctors, but where he
got the Information that morphine is
being used extensively in cigarettes"
We cannot forget that another eminent
member Of the same society assured
us quite recently that of every thou

to alcohol and that Americans are dy-

IS a Political Miracle,
Chicago Professor Says
of the Currency Bill

| CHICAGO, December 2O.-The currency
bill is the political miracle of the age
because not ten of the men in Congress
who voted for the bill understood its
fundamental principles"
This is the opinion of J.. Lawrence
Laughlin. professor of political economy
at the University of Chicago, expressed
today in an address to members of the
city Club. The wonder of 1t, the pro-
lessor said, is that they Incorporated
the correct economic principle without
realizing it.
When you look back a year and see
the situation with regard to the report
or the monetary commission it makes
you believe the day of political miracles
has not passed. he said
The present banking laws have been
on the statute books since the civil war
and sound currency Legislation has been
almost impossible to get. Since that
time the fundamental idea of the cur
rency problem has been that 1t depended
upon the quantity of money in circulation
organization of Credit.
4 am willing to stake my reputation
that the bill will be for good, or good
FOR nothing. not because of the regula-
ton OF note issues and the quantity of
money in circulation but because of the
organization of credit provided for. 1t
seems to me miracle this thing should
have been Incorporated in this bill
No one has talked about this feature
OF the bill. and yet 1t is ten times as
important as the regulation of note is
s'des and the amount of money in circu-
iauon 1t is source of marvel to me
that $50 men in the House voted for this
Dill when there were not ten men i'm the
House who understood it's fundamental
principles.
The reason for the panic of 1907 lay in
the incomplete organization of credit
Prof Laughlin said.
With the organization of credit provid-
ed for there is no reason now why a
business man. in an emergency and with
a good sound business behind him,
should ever have to go into bankruptcy
he said.
One joker, which the speaker said was
monetary sabotage he laid to New
York bankers influence. 1t is the clause
he said, which permits banks to count
federal reserve notes as part of a basis
for making loans. He said imitation
might result because banks then have no
incentive to redeem the notes in their
possession,

Fair :. bends on CONTINGENCIES.

ROME, :ember 2O.-.,he Italian for
eign miI'-,t.., Marquis di San Giuliano
during a conference; today with Ira Mel
son Morris of Chicago. the special com
missioner of the San Francisco exposi-
ton, said the extent of Italys participa-
ton depended upon certain contingen-
cies." He referred in a most general
way to the immigration bill pending be-
fore Congress at Washington, especially
the features of the measure concerning
the educational test. and also to the pro.
posal to place American health officers
on board Italian emigrant ships. He re-
marked that Ita had its own health
officers belonging to the royal marine
service. on her emigrant ships, and tina,
she took great pride in their thorou gh-
ness.
The foreign minister said that Italy
had shown her friendliness to the expo
sition by the appropriation in parliamen,
last June of 100000. which had been
placed in the hands of the government to
provide for Italian participation should
it at the proper time be approved.
Mr.. Morris was accompanied 70 the
