FREE BRIDGE CASE
 UP AGAIN TODAy
AS \ LAST RESORT MR, COLLIER IS TRYING TO ENJNlN THE
 BRIDGE COMPASSION.
Case Will Be Heard By Judge j. M. Elliott in siie Jefferson | han
 cery Court.

The application of T. II. Collier who seeks to eujoin the Jefferson County Bridge Commission from pro- ceeding with the work on the Free Bridge, will be heard before Judge j. M. Elliott in the Jefferson chancery court this morning at 10 o'clock. This application was filed some weeks ago as d last resort by the anti-Free Bridge faction, and several days were spent recently by the attorneys in the case taking depositons.
 Mr. Collier will be represented bS Attorneys Asa c. Oracle and Brooks Carmichael and Rector, of Little Rock. Attorneys Coleman and Can't and Danaher and Danaber, of this city will appear for the Bridge Commis sion.
 Lt is generally believed that the ef- forts Of MT. Collier to prevent the building of the bridge will fail, as he has already ben defeated in every suit filed against the Bridge Commits sion. He has failed in the county and state courts and every contention ol the Bridge Commission has been sus- tained. The suit that is to be heard tions made in previous suits.

Infants and Child Mortality.

Washington, Aril 30-Figures show ing the infant and child mortality of the census registration area of the United States for 1911 issued by Di- rector Durand of the Census Bureau today prove an encouraging falling off in the infant death rate since 1900 when the last census was taken. The death rate for infants under one year of age was 1129 per thousand, or about eight times the death rate at all ages. .roFm one to four years the rate was 11.S per thousand and for the first five years 32.9 per thousand. The census shows that there has been a great reduction in the infant and child mortality of re- cent years, due, doubtless. to the per sistent campaign which has been con- ducted against ignorance in the care of children. The decrease in the death rate of infants under one year of age since 1900 was 19 per cent.
 The largest percentage of decease in the death rate of infants under year of age shown for any of the state compared was that of Rhode Is land, 90 per cent. and the smallest that of Michigan. 5 per cent. In al

To Burn Paper.

There are times when there ara bundles of old papers to be burned. This is dangerous in a grate fire. The following is the method which will avert danger of the chimney catching fire: Make tight rolls of all the papers and fasten them with pieces of soft wire-broomstick wire will do. They will then form a kind O. log and burn slowly without flame. The rolls may be made of any size and several of them burnt together.

MORTALITY OF VARIOUS CITIES Seattle, Washington, Has Lowest Death Rate and
 Memphis Highest.
CONDITIONS IMPROVE
In All States Where Comparisons Were Made Death Rate is Lower
 Than Preceding Periods.

Washington, D. C., April 30-Mor- tality statistics of the various states and cities for 1911 made public today by Director Durand, of the Census Bu- reau, show decided improvement in the death rate throughout the coun- try. Seattle, Washington, has the lowest death rate for 1911, S.S per thousand, as against 100 per thous- and for 1910. Memphis, Tenn. has the highest rate, or 21.3 per thousand. This is a slight improvement for Mem- phis, however, for the death rate there in 1910 was 214
 The registration area includes some twenty odd states, among them Cali fornia Colorado, Connecticut Indiana Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massa- chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis- souri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Municipalities of 1000 population and over in 1900), Ohio. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island Utah, Vermont, Wash ington and Wisconsin.
 In this registration area there is a population of 59,275,977 persons. Of these persons S39,2S4 died in 1911. The death rate for the total area for that year is 14.2 per thousand, the lowest JoI 1, i~l corded for the same area was 19.8 in 1880. Scientists will doubtless assert that education of the masses and the masses and the advancement of science are responsible for this change in the death-rate.
 Los Angeles has a death rate for 1911 of 14.5 per thousand San Fran cisco is apparently tolerably healthy, for it has a death rate of only 15.2 the level of the Mississippi river has a death rate of 20.4
 Death rates of other cities follow: Denver, 15.5; Chicago, 145; St. Louis, 15.4; Albany, 20.4; New York City, 15.2;; Rochester, N. Y., 14.4; Columbus O., 14.3; Philadelphia, 1G.6; Boston, I'll; Milwaukee, 11.9 and Spokane, Wash, 11.6.
 Regarding the difference in State sus says:
 "In all the states for which com parisons can be made, except, Cali fornia the death rate for 1911 was lower than those for the preceding year, and for the period 1906 to 1910, and in all but two (Maine and New Hampshire) it was lower than that for the period 1901 to 1905.
 ''lt should be remembered that these are crude rates, which make no allowance for differences in the sex and age distribution of the oppula- tion, and that variations in the pro portion of colored population and possible deficiencies of registration parisons between the states. For North Carolina the rates are based On figures derived from municipalities of 1000 population and represent a high proportion of colored population. It is possible that the registration Of deaths is less complete in Washing ton and perhaps in certain other states than in the older states of the registration area. Hence the inference that one state is far more healthful than another should not be drawn
