Mr.. Durand should be continued in office
until July I. so as To complete some Of
the work of the thirteenth census, which.
with his knowledge. he could complete
more easily than could a new man at
the head of the bureau. No objection

Mr. Durand already has handed in his
resignation as director of the census, to

the gifts of the state legislatures, and
must not be the gifts of individuals or
organizations. according 10 the policy of
the monument society. 1t is desired that
they shall represent the state sovereign

the stones yet to be placed in the Monu-

MONUMENT SOCIETY
RETAINS OFFICERS
Annual Meeting Is Held at the
Home of Associate JUS
tice Brown.
SEVEN STATE STONES
WILL COMPLETE LIST
Likely to Be Placed Soon, According
to Reports Received From
Governors.

The annual meeting of the Washington
National Monument Society was held to-
day at the home of Henry r. Brown, as
sociate justice of the United States SUI
preme Court, retired. 1870 10Th street
northwest, followed by a buffet luncheon
to about a hundred guests. The officers
of the organization were reelected, and
its members listened to a report by the
secretary, Frederick l.. Harvey, which
outlined the prospects of the seven
states which have never placed stones in
the Washington Monument doing so in
the near future.
Today was selected as the meeting day
Tor the society because of the fact that
II Is the l:4th anniversary of George
aShIngtons first Inauguration as Presi-
dent. 1t has been the custom for the
society to meet on George Washington S
birthday. but the gathering was post
poned this year because Judge Brown,
who is the first vice president of the So
clety and its active presiding officer. was
absent from Washington February 49,.
The President of the United States is
ex-officio the president of the society.
Yet to Place Stones.
The seven states which have not yet
placed stones in the Monument are Idaho.
Washington. Arizona, New Mexico, Okla
homa, Texas and Colorado.
In his report to the society today, Mr..
Harvey called attention to the fact that
the organization had several years ago
taken up with the governors of these
seven states the desirability of their
placing stones in the Monument as soon
possible, in accordance with the origi-
nal idea that all of the states of the
Union should be represented, but he
pointed out, as the states have biennial
sessions of their legislatures many OF
them could not take action because these
legislatures were not in session. They
are. however, in session this year. he
said, and during recent trip in the west
he saw the governors of some of them.
Gov. Mcdonald of New Mexico, Mr.
Harvey reported, had in conversation with
him approved of the project of that state
placing it's stone in the Monument with
out further delay, and he sent a special
message to the legislature, urging it to
take action this session.
Mr.. Harvey said he also saw Gov Hal
ley of Idaho, who also approved of the
idea, and stated that he would place the
matter before the Legislature of that
state for action.
4 similar report was made as to a con-
versation Mr.. Harvey had with Gov.
Ammons of Colorado. He declared to
Mr. Harvey his intention of urging action
in regard to Colorado's stone by the legis-
lature.

DEATH RATE IN 1911
is LOWEST ON RECORD
Statement of Bureau of Census
Shows It to Have Been 14.2
Per Thousand.

The death rate in the registration area
of the United States during the year
1911 was the lowest on record. according
to a statement Of the bureau of the CEN
eus, just made public. The total number
of deaths within the area for which NOR
tally statistics are available was S39. 2S4
The population within this area was 63.1
Of the total population of the United
States or 20 o75.917. The death rate was
143 per thousand.
Figures for Washington. d. c., show
that the death rate in 1911 was 1871 per
loco persons. This is lower than any of
the figures as far back as 1908. which are
given in the statement. and It probably is
the lowest on record for this community.
There were twenty-three states in the
registration area for 1911. and OF these.
two Kentucky and Missouri. appeared in
the record for the first time. II is de-
clared that out of the total of Ss9.22s4 de-
cedents 1910 or %? per cent. were
whites and 56.431 were negroes. 1853 In
dams 1850 Chinese and 664 japanese.
Some Southern States Not Included.
The reason for the higher percentage
in the deaths Of whites. as compared with
the negroes. il is declared, is found in
the fact that none of the southern states
where the greatest proportions of negroes
are found. is as yet included as a whole
in the registration area.
