RED MANS Death RATE
Twice white BROTHERS
Report of Commissioner Sells Shows
that tuberculosis and Tracoma
Work Havoc.

Statistics showing the Indian death
rate TO be just double that OF the entire
registered area of the United States, with
tuberculosis and trachoma killing thou
sands of the race each year, feature the
eighty-second annual report of the Bu-
reau of Indian Affairs. II was the first
issued by Commissioner Cato Sells, and
was made public yesterday.
Commissioner Sells describes the health
conditions among the Indians as deplor-
able. There are 1000 Indians suffering
from tuberculosis. while the available
Indian hospital facilities for all will not
exceed 800 beds. During the last fiscal
year 1896 Indians were reported as hav-
ing died from tuberculosis: this being
probably not more than % per cent of
the total who have died from this dis
ease during the fiscal year. Thirty-two
per cent of all the deaths reported from
the reservations were due to pulmonary
tuberculosis, as against H. per cent oc-
curing from the same disease in the
registered area of the United States.
In regard TO trachoma. Commissioner
Sells points out that there are more than
5000 cases among the Indians. He urges
the necessity Of improving the health
conditions surrounding the Indians. also
to prevent contagion among their white
neighbors.
It is estimated that there are virtually
5000 Indians without homes, who live In
mud houses, tepees and wickiups, under
revolving conditions. Thousands OF In
dian families living in one or two-room
shacks under conditions which must. Of
necessity. cause the propagation OF dis
eases such as tuberculosis and trachoma.
Commissioner Sells emphasizes that the
work Of the Indian Office in handling a
vast estate valued at approximately
500, ,ooc. 900. belonging to 100000 wards Of
the government. should not be crippled
further because of the failure to insure
the employment Of such forces as Is
absolutely necessary to keep up the work
OF the bureau anC spe -dily work out the
problems confronting II.

CHAPTER Ill.

Just how much more freely Kath-
crime might have revealed her aims
and inspirations, Slade could not
know, for at that moment the butler
appeared and engaged his attention.
AS the man withdrew, Slade spread
wide his arms and announced gran
diloquently:
"The gentleman of the waterfront
crowd, if you please. Mr.. Wesley
Merritt, the gentleman who wasn't 60
ing to darken my door, is here!"
He broke off with loud, mirthless
laugh. AS well as any man who ever
lived, he liked to feel the grip of his
own power. He had come to the point
where it was genuine satisfaction to
humble men and conquer things.
wesley Merritt" the senator was
almost too surprised for speech.
After his abuse of you in the paper
today. And Hunt! How did you
do it?"
This is the sort of thing I like"
broke in Katherine, eagerly. ooh, it's
80 exciting" she declared, her eyes
glowing with eagerness and animation.
"Oh, Mr.. Slade, how did you make
them kow-tow?"
SHADES reply was prevented by the
brusQue, excited entrance of Merritt
and Hunt. The pair, angry and bel
ligerent, strobe into the room without
word. Merritt, small, wiry, ener-
getic, was in the lead, followed closely
by his shadow and echo, Hunt.
rs it true?" he demanded angrily,
before he realized that Slade was not
alone. How do you do, senator
Miss Strickland" he exclaimed, in
surprise. Lovely home you have, Mr..
Slade," he added, trying to adjust him
self to the scene he bad not expected.
"An astonishing TumOr has reached
us, Mr.. Slade," he finally declared, get
ting down to the business of his inva-
sion. 1T concerns you, senator. 1t
concerns every philosophical man in
the city. Is it true, Slade, that you
have bought up our entire water front
on which our residences-our old
homes-the mansions of the city face,
and that you intend building factories
there?"
"Why, yes" Slade admitted, with
maddening calmness.
"What?" Strickland almost shouted,
completely astounded.
"But-but it can't be DONE" Merritt
was so excited now that he suffered
his words.
ut can't be DONE" echoed Hunt. He
was well paid for being an echo.
"Our best people live there" pro-
tested Merritt.
81 live there" Hunt added, with &C
cumulated emphasis.
"All of US" Merritt continued, take
pride in the view along the water
front. It's damnable. Why, out OF
common decency, man What do
you want of factories, anyway" he de-
manded, completely angered and out
of patience.
SHADES voice was almost drawl,
it was so low-pitched and so provok-
ingly calm. why didn't you and your
associates protect your holdings?" he
inquired
How'd we know a man with mil
lions would come along and buy up
the whole beach?" Merritt's wrath
was getting beyond the control that
presence demanded
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1914-05-13

"Slade, if you persist in this" he
Numbered, I'm going to take off my
coat and hit back. My paper has an
enormous outside circulation, and III
haste you once every day. If you pro,
pose running for governor, you won't
get one vote in your own town. And
in one month, or less, you'll find San
Francisco has a gorgeous climate"
Slade was unpertgrbed by Merritt
threats or Merritt's bulldozing. "All
right, Merritt" he advised, good-na-
turedly, "go ahead with your paper,
I'll take my chances"
you will, eh?" Merritt's tone was
ominous. What sort of factories are
you going to build?"
well" drawled Slade, coolly, 81 was
thinking of putting up glue factories!"
"Glue!" The one word jumped from
everyone's mouth at once. "Glue!"
they all repeated, and looked at each
other in CONSERVATION.
"The HI you say" then remember
ing himself Il beg your pardon, Miss
Strickland"
at can't be done" Merritt went on.
you can't build glue factories here"
and he emphasized every word with
an angry shake of his finger.
"By God, YOU"
He broke off as he saw Bob Hayes
stride into the room. Hayes, as SHADES
lawyer and almost a member of the
family, had the entree to the house at
all times.
Here's my lawyer" remarked Slade,
dryly, TASK him"
"Of course it can be done" Hayes
informed them, convincingly. IT'S per-
fectly legitimate"
Then, as Il 20 dismiss a perfectly
obvious subject, he turned to the girl,
who had been enjoying every point
that Slade had scored.
Katherine's eyes lighted with warm
welcome. 1t was the first time she
had seen Hayes since she had re-
turned. He was the man she had once
wanted to marry, once before her
father had given her the choice of
Hayes or a finishing school in Paris
and tour of Europe Now she greeted
him with cordial friendship, but with
none of the sweet tenderness he might
have expected from her. Once she
had looked up into his eyes and thought
him god. Now, her eyes blinded by
the glare of ambition, she saw only a
good looking chap, a struggling law
yer, man who hadn't made any par
ticular mark in the world. She re-
turned Hayes burning, penetrating
gaze with cool, unrufIled frankness. In
another moment she had turned from
him and was earnestly watching Slade,
listening to his every word with eager

mot in this town, at least" amend
ed Katherine.
You've got to have Wesley Merritt,
his paper, his highfaluting editorials
and his speechmaktng-and his wife, "
/ Strickland explained. "He and his
crowd run the town"
"Oh, YOU mean my noighbors?"
asked Slade. They'll come around"
he finished, meaningly.
But, man alive! Only today Mer-
ritt's attack on you was scurrilous. I
demonstrated with him myself. He's
your Out-and-out enemy. I've tried to
get him-tO--to come over and shake
hands, but he sWears he'll never cross
your threshold"
81 guess they'll come when l want
'em to come" Slade interrupted, with
an assurance his auditors could not
understand. On fact, I'm looking for
'em any minute now" and he consult
ed his watch.
you're looking for them-here-to-
night?" gasDed Strickland, showing
plainly he thought Slade was making
d joke OF the matter.
yes, tonight" replied the wouId-be
governor, quietly, and turned to Kath-
crime.
Strickland subsidized, a question
eroWiag in his mind as to whether he
had fully measured the man he expect
ed to use for his own political and
financial ends. There was in Shades
method Of fighting a direct and open
quality that would make him hard to
handle in the crooked and indirect
ways of political life.
Katherine Strickland's eyes mar
rowed as she met Shades gaze. Her
quick, calculating mind saw in this
man the possibility of realizing her
highest hopes and ambitions. With
such a man a woman could scale any
heights-reach any goal. He was hard
yes! But a man needs to be hard
in these days and times if he is ever
to accomplish anything. In her fer
tile brain smoldered ambitions as
great as his ambitions that she now
realized would never be attained I'M
less she made some great, radical
change in her life.
She had pushed her father as far
as the man would-could go. She
had outdistanced every girl in her
circle. She had reached high, but she
had triumphed Now she was at the
end Of her tether. 1t was a matter
of making some one huge stroke or
sinking back into stupid obscurity, a |
situation all the more bitter because |
of her previous successes. The |
thought of settling down into the ev-
eryday life of the western city where |
she was born made her very soul !
squirm. Surely there was something
more in life for her. Surely there |
were bigger goals to be gai- I'd.
She had never realized how empty |
