VITAL STATISTICS
That Russell Sage Survey Of
Topeka Has Them.
City's Death Rate, Diseases,
Causes, Etc.

Five details concerning life, death
and disease-most vital topics!-are
brought out in the first installment
today of the public health survey made
in Topeka last summer by Franz
Schneider, jr., sanitarian of the de-
partment Of surveys and exhibits of
the Russell Sage foundation. In his
preliminary offering Mr.. Schneider
deals with the death rate, the birth
rate, the ward difference, the causes
of death and preventable deaths.
Summing up the situation as it real
" exists in Topeka, the large number
of hospitals here caring for out of
town patients swells the death rate
beyond that of the normal population
in the state. The birth rate isn't what
it ought to be, Mr.. Schneider thinks,
although he offers no solution for the
abandonment of the anti-Roosevelt
policy. In discussing preventable dis
eases the social survey experts in
forms Topeka that more rigid pub
lie health program will tend to solve
this problem. In other words, II To-
Deka is able to scrub every street and
alley, honeycomb the town with sew
ers. teach every citizen of every social
distinction to use soap and gargle with
salt water and absolutely rid the town
of all matter OF OlTt ana lOOpnOlc VI
disease-then the prevention of death
is complete.
In taking up the first subject, the
death rate, Mr.. Schneider says in
part:
a high crude death rate, due in con-
siderable degree to the deaths of nom
residents. Eliminating these her rate
compares favorably with that of the
country as a whole, but unfavorably
with that of the state of Kansas. 1t
would appear that Topeka suffers
from some of the health handicapS in
cidental to city life"
He says of the birth rate, in part:
"This birth rate is not large, and the
rate of increase is but a small part
of that GO per 10000 actually main
tanned throughout the decade 1900
1910. BY far the most important
source of the city's growth is evident
" immigration from outside
The ward difference" feature is
explained at length. One paragraph
relates: These ward birth and death
rate differences, while not accurate in
dications of actual degrees of health
fulness. are large enough to be of
some real significance; and reinforce
the suggestion of our analysis of the
general death rate, i. e.-the neces-
sity for careful scrutiny of existing
sanitary conditions"
In Causes of Death he says:
1.-The most striking feature is, of
course, the almost invariable excess
of mortality among the negroes, and
the particular disproportion with re-

lated Mexicans smashed the windows
Of American hotels and residences and
wrecked Sanborn's American drug
store in the corner Of the Southern
hotel, beat the hotel doors for two
hours in their quest for American
blood and possession of the American
flag, which f1oated over the hotel.
The flag remained and was still float
ing there when the imprisoned refu-
gees finally left the hotel at midnight.
THE American administration, not
content with subjecting 1000 of their
citizens and countrymen to these dam
gers and insults. must force them to
drink the cup to its dregs, to assassi-
rate the last vestige of pride for their
citizenship and flag by permitting, II
they knew it at all, the spectacle of
two German officers from the German
cruiser, DRESDEN coming ashore and
notifying the Mexican authorities
that If the mobs did not dispense i'm
mediately German marines would dis
perse them. and rescuing the forti-
fled American inmates Of the South

them at midnight in a drenching rain
storm aboard the German cruiser,

in safety with the exception Of a few
cut heads and bruises, thankful to
God and the German officers that it
was nothing worse.
Shame to Manhood.
with shame to American man
hood, American administration and
naval capacity and sense Of response
bility be it said, that every American
man, woman and child, abandoned by
the only force that should have pro-
tected them, was sneaked out of Tam
pico on ships flying the German and
British flags, commanded by German
and British officers.
The American yacht, 'Wakiva,' of
the Huastoca Petroleum company, an
chored two miles below Tampico, was
notified by the Mexican guntoat that
if she moved she would be sunk. She
finally left the harbor flying the Brit
fsh flag. .
THE American yacht, Wild Duck.
to which many Of the Americans were
transferred from the German cruiser,
Dresden was taken out to the large
American fleet at sea, flying the Ger
man flag and in command of Ger
man naval officer from the cruiser
Dresden
1.-The spectacle Of the American adj
ministrative laundering stupidity and
humiliation at Tampico is ended and
1000 disguised Americans who exper-
fenced it are on their way to their own
country. with all their little world
possessions abandoned to the mercy
of semi-savages. Many of these ref
uRees are without friends or resources
in the United States, too Old to secure
occupation in the already crowded
field of competition, and with only the
clothing they, their wives and children
wore in the hurried flight from their
homes in the endeavor to preserve
their lives"
