BIG BABY CROP F1R N G.
Total cf 7s,sf2 infants Born During
LAST Twelve Months III the Old
North State.

] raleigh according to preliminary
t1st1cs compiled by the Bureau or
yi1a Statistics, there Werer 75.612 ba-
lies born "a North Carolina ID 1915.
This Is equivalent to birth rate OF
ipproxi1nately 81 per 1000 Of popnla-
Ion This birth rate IS considerably,
above the average birth rate reported
~ the United States and IS particular
" gratifying when we note that dur
a1g the same period. 1915, there were
,nly 6,807 deaths reported from babies
less than one year or age. or approxi-
mately per cent of the babies born
Turing the year. While ordinarily this
y much lower percentage OF deaths
han would be expected in a state with
MIXED population and while it il
much lower than that reported by the
average In the registration area, we
believe that the greater number OF
these deaths were preventable and as
health conditions improve fn North
Caroline we may confidently expect a
corresponding reduction in the percen.
tage Of baby deaths reported. .
Some interesting facts about the
baby death rate are that the counties
having the highest death rates were in
general those counties known to have
one or more OF the following condi-
tons. First, q low percentage OF
White population: second. q low per
capita wealth; third, high percent
age OF fllfteracy. and conversely, those
counties having the 4owest death rate
In general have the greatest per cap
rita wealth, the best schools and the
largest percentage OF white popula-
ton.

Want Tax Reduced.

Raleigh.-There has begun an In.
fiux Of officials OF corporations that
suffered severe damage through the
Western Carolina floods, their mis-.
sion being to plead with the Corpora
ton Commission to take into consid.
Grafton the depreciation Of their prop.
erty through flood damage in the as
sessment Of taxes for the year. In.
dications are thsa the commission will
have to make considerable reductions
in the tax assessments in these cases
and thereby reduce greatly the tax
revenues for the year.
It was stated that whereas when
the last revenue act was passed by
the legislature and the re-assessments
made, there was general confidence
that It would yield ample revenue for
the state It appears now that this
flood damage to the corporations will
necessitate such reductions In tax as,
sessmerts as to seriously cut the
revenue below the legislative appro-
priations and other state expenses.

Assistant Cashier of Stone

rested for Embezzlement
TRUSTED EMPLOYE
WAS PAID S18 A WEEK
Reported That Harry A,
Jones, the Accused, Has
Admitted His Guilt

| Boston, June S.-Harry A. Jones o
Stoneham, clerk and assistant cashier
Iof the Stoneham National bank is un
der arrest in the federal building
charged with the embezzlement of about
Sal 900 of the cash of the bank. He i:
said to have admitted his guilt to off
Gals of the bank who discovered the
discrepancy in the accounts. He was
arrested yesterday by United States Dep.
Iuty Marshal Condor in the Office oil
United States District Attorney Ander-
son, to which he had been brought from
Stoneham, following the closing of the
doors by United States officials yester-
day morning.
When arraigned before United States
Commissioner Hayes, Jones pleaded not
guilty and was held in $4,000 bonds for
la hearing Friday. Mr.. Anderson appeared
for the government. If Jones does not
obtain bail he will be sent to the Jail
in East Cambridge.
Jones is about forty-two years of age
and has wife and three children in
Stoneham, The only explanation of the
defalcation offered by Jones, according
to bank officials, is that his pay of SIS
week was inadequate to meet his living
expenses. He is said to have admitted
that his tampering with the accounts of
the bank began ten years or more ago.
The bank is closed and United States
bank examiners are in charge. No bus
mess win be attempted until they have
made report.
Fred Z Nickerson, one of the directors
of the bank, acted as spokesman for the
officials He said that of late the bank
had been running hard; the results were
not what they should have been. There
has been an increase in the business, but
not a corresponding increase in the re-
suits. Consequently, after the meeting
Of the directors last Monday evening the
cashier, c. A. Bailey, Charles f. Black
and Mr.. Nicherson, directors, made an
examination of the books. In their
hasty survey they discovered enough to
confirm their suspicion that all was not
right with the bank, The accounts APP
peared to have been iuggled. And there
was difference of almost $4,000 be-

ance sheet.

HUGHES STILL UNpERTURBED.

He is Completely Isolated from the Chi
cago Convention.
Washington, June SIN the midst oil
nation seething with political turmoil
and unrest, Associate Justice Charles
Evans Hughes OF the supreme court is
Iquietly working at his house in Wash
lington, holding no communication with
his supporters or with eager representa-
tives of the press. 1t may not be gen.
orally known, but it is nevertheless the
fact, that since candidacy for this Office
was thrust upon him, Mr.. Hughes has
not talked with single newspaper cor
respondent. Every one of the few state
ments which have come from him have
been made by his secretary, and every
one of these was made reluctantly Mr..
Hughes is apparently as completely iso-
lated from the Chicago convention as if
he were at the north pole.
In order to correct Misunderstanding
which have arisen in regard 10 the JUS
tees speech on Monday at the National
Cathedral school for girls, it should be
stated that while this speech was pre-
pared in advance, and while typewriter
copies were furnished to officials of the
school, no newspaper or news association
was notified that the justice was to de-
liver an address, and only the Associated
Press got the story" and that some
time after the event Although the tele.
graphing of this speech to Chicago and
elsewhere made it the political sensation
of the moment, Washington refused to
become excited or to regard the address
as other than a casual little speech to
class Of girl graduates of which the
speakers daughter was a member. Lo-
cal political circles, at least, where the
Justices views on questions of the day
are well known, refused to consider this
speech as keynote" or to believe that
by making it at this time Justice Hughes |
had any intention of breaking his self |
set rule of silence ON the political situa.
ton
Mr. Hughes's present aloofness from
politics recalls his attitude at the time
OF the Republican convention in 1912. {
The supreme court had adjourned and
Mr.. Hughes was somewhere in the woods /
OF northern New York, camping and .
fishing. He was, nevertheless, within
reach of the telegraph, and it is relia.
bly, stated that certain Republican
statesman, personal friend of Mr..
Hughes, and leader in the party, more
than once during the convention week
wired the justice urging upon him the
Had the justice accepted
az this time, it is possible that the then
Roosevelt split might have
been averted, although it should be said
for the sake of historical accuracy, that
Mr. Hughes Republican friend was not
IN the confidence Of Colonel Roosevelt.
Undoubtedly Justice Hughes takes the
ground to-day that he can say nothing
about the nomination, because no one is
vet in a position to offer it to him. In
1912 apparently, the gentleman who tel
