Mexico City. Oct. 2f.-It is possible that

already on the verge of collapse.
AS matter of fact. everything offered
for sale that has been imported has been
priced double for two months past This
increase has been caused by the almost

Uncle Sam Is Landlord of Three
Grog-Shop Keeps, Secretary
McAdoo Learns,

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo has
under consideration a letter from the
Anti-Saloon League in which it is shown
that the government is landlord Of three
saloonkeepers.
The property bounded by Fourteenth,
Fifteenth, and B Streets Northwest and
Pennsylvania Avenue contains three bar
rooms. Several years ago this property
was bought by the government. Pro-
prietors OF the business places were not
disturbed. Their leases were continued
with the understanding that they could
be terminated on one months notice
when the government started to make
use Of the property.
Licenses of the saloonkeepers in the
District win end November L The league
asked Mr.. McAdoo, through its attorney,
not to permit the renewal of the licenses.
It was said in the letter Of protest that
faction terminating the leases now can
be made with the least possible incon-
venience to the proprietors."
The Ieague also has protested against
the renewal Of licenses Of the Monu-

United States government, the consent of

VITAL STATISTICS FAIL
TO BEAR OUT STORIES
Recent Census Report on Mortality
Does Not IndOrse 0sler Theory.
Rates Misunderstood.
FIGURES ARE BADLY JUGGLED

DR.. Cressy L. Wilbur. chief statistician
for vital statistics of the Bureau Of the
Census, yesterday issued the following
statement:
"Some alarmist figures and statements
recently have been published on the al
legged authority Of the Census Bureaus
mortality statistics which are, in fact,
entirely unwarranted by the data con
tanned In the government report.
For example, II was stated that the
Census Bureau at Washington has Just
made public figures which corroborate
the contention OF DIR. William Osler that
a man in the city is near the end of his
prime at forty years and cannot, on
the average. come back after that. It
was stated that in the city OF Create.
New York the num;'er OF those who die
between the ages OF twenty-five and
fcrty-fcr is only thirty-eight per 1000
Of population. whereas the number who
die between thirty-five and fifty-four
years or age is sixty-three. Similar
figures were given for other cities and
for various States and foreign countries
Also that exactly one-tenth of all the
people in the registration area OF the
country perished in 1911 from heart
disease. &c. sg
These statements evidently arose from

the legal right to issue currency upon
the collateral of good commercial paper

panics coaid have Deen avcrted and the

Mr.. Gilbert produced figures TO show
what effect the organization Of the pro-
jected regional bank system would have.
He urged upon the committee the unwis-
dom of attempting the organization OF
twelve banks, as provided in the bill
He said he had prepared table show

At the morning session Victor Morawetz
continued his testimony. Mr.. Morawetz
Monday had warned the committee
against the influence of partisan politics
on currency legislation. This brought
forth yesterday morning declarations
from Senators O'Gorman Of New York
and Nelson Of Minnesota to the effect
that party politics was playing less pait
in the consideration of tine banking and
currency bill than at any time previously
in the history Of the United States.
During his discussion OF the bill Mr..
Morawetz condemned the provision OF the

one regional reserve bank by another
