.C|TY'S DEATH RATE
EXCEPTIONALLY LOW
Showing Made During the
Year Just Closed Is Won
derful One.
ANNUAL REPORT is OUT
Percentage Is Only 7.6O,
Based Upon a Population
of 125,000.
ANNUAL REPORT is OUT

Salt Lakes average death rate per
1000 during 1913 was 900, including
deaths of all classifications occurring
within the city. The rate pertaining
to actual residents was $50, one of the
lowest death rates recorded in the
world.
This is the showing of the city health
vital statistics, issued yesterday. AS
compared to 1912, the death rate has
dropped off 2.46 per cent.
Dr. Samuel q. Paul, health commits
sioner, arrives ut his death rate on a
basis of l25,000 population as compared
with $4,000 population in 1912. The
10000 increase was caused. he believes.
by the addition of a thickly populated
section to the city. including Forest
Dale and some other tracts, and by ma
tural growth. which. according 10 his
Investigations, was grcatcr i'll 1913 than
for some time back.
Deaths during the year totalcd 1898
and in 1912 the total WAS 1l7i. Of the
total deaths in 1913, 2S7 were non-rcsi-
dents and Gal were actual residents.
Births totalcd 2631, Of which 1898
were boys and l34s were girls,
Causes Classified.
Classification of the causes of death
shows that organic heart disease, pneu-
monia, Bright's disease and tuberculo-
sis, in the order named, are the cap
taIns CT deaths cohorts. Organic heart
disease killed 102, pneumonia, including
bronchial and lobar pneumonia, killed
96, Bright's disease killed 70 and tu-
berculosis, in its various forms, killed
81. Of the toll Of tuberculosis, fifty.
two had tuberculosis of the lungs.
A unique showing is that measles, so
generally referred to as harmless and
inevitable ailment of childhood, struck
down as many victims as the dread
typhoid fever. Each disease scored 16
deaths.
Cancer in all its forms killed "a,
though no particular kind of cancer
scored heavily. Even whooping cough
killed six. Diphtheria and Group killed
II. Six died Of alcoholism. Appen-
dicitis scored 2S.
There were 135 deaths from e1ter-
nal causes, such as suicide, homicide
and accidents. Of these 81 were sui
cides. Of which Is were by poison, Is
by firearms, by cutting OF piercing
instruments, two by asphyxia, ! by
hanging, ] by drowning and l by jump
ing from a high place.

Spalding's address on work among the
Mormons created much interest. In II he
pleaded for more boosting and less
knocking than in the past and asked
his co-worlsers 10 look carefully at both
sides of the question. He said In part:
Christians are not moved by the
bitter attacks Of atheism or the
SCOTS OF unbelievers. which simply
bolster up our faith. Let US look upon
the Mormon question In the same
light
Just as a Catholic looks down on
a Protestant and just as PTesby-
terian cannot sec why Baptist so
emphasizes the need OF 30 much water
in a certain ritual, so the Mormon
cannot see why we do not hold to
the truth as taught In their church.

BANK ROBBERS ESCAPE
IN SPEEDINC Alto

ii xXy AUlV
Pittsburg, Aug. 17.-Two men To-
day entered the Homestead National
bank, covered the officers with ,c-
volvers. took all available cash and
escaped in an automobile.
Several depositors stood at the
tellers' window when the two men
entered. Both were heavily armed
nd commanded, Hands up!" while
one covered the officers and patrons
of the bank the other robber went
behind the desk, scooped together all
the cash in sight, jammed it into a
hand satchel and then the two with
guns still covering the men, backed
out of the door. The robbers jumped
into an automobile in front of the
bank and made their escape. The
amount of money stolen is not ac-
curate1y known, but is believed to u
between $500 and $1,000 The rob-
ibers were about IS and 20 years old
and were overtaken in McFlyn town
ship by Constables Percy Smith and
John Dixon. The constables opened
fire on the robbers as the latter were
abandoning the stolen automobile
and getting into high powered ma
chine, apparently in waiting. The
robbers returned the fire, dropping
Smith with bullet in the leg and
Dixon with shot in the shoulder.
A posse that was pursuing came
upon the wounded officers in the
road, but all trace of the robbers
again was lost.
