PNEUMONIA CAUSED
NEARLY ONE-HALF
THE DEATHS

The report of the Board
of Health for Arizona and
the perusal of it conveys
some startling information.
During the year ending Dec.
81, 1913, there were 66O7
deaths in the state. Of this
number 1868 died from tu7
berculosis of the lungs. The
bic death rate from tuber-
cuIosis is due to the fact that
this state is a. Mecca f Or
consumptives and a constant
stream of these unfortunates
are coming in from t b e
eastern states seeking relief
from this malady. Gener-
ally they come too late and
simply arrive here to die.
Influenza carried away 5l1
while pneumonia and bron-
chial pneumonia G. rrle q
away 1887. This high death
rate from pneumonia is no
doubt due largely to inlu-
enza which developed pneu-
monia. Nearly half Of the
deaths were due to respira-
tory diseases that isy dis
eases of the lungs, and near
" one-third were due to
pneumonia. The next high
est causes were diarrheal
disease in children under
two years, which were 557,
and epidemic diseases in
young and old, 511; while
automobile accidents claim
ed 120 victims.
Pneumonia took the larg-
est total of any disease in
this state and appears to be
extremely fatal. People
should therefore use extra
caution in dealing with or
dinary colds or any affiiction
which may lead to pneumo-
MIA in order to reduce the
number of victims.
The infant mortality was
very large. The number OF
deaths under IA years was
1905, or over 27 per cent.
Much of this could be avoid
ed by a better understand
ing of caring for the health
and feeding and clothing of
children.

MISSOURI PACIFIC REPORT.
President Does Net Consider tho
Standard Return Just,

Harry Bronner, president Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad Company, ex-
planned to stockholders in the annual re-
port. issued yesterday. that while the
annual railway operating income for the
test period had been certified at $14,-
2os.s14. no contract with the United
States Railroad Administration has been
presented for stockholders ratification
Tor the reason that the standard return
is not regarded al Just compensa tion.'
and Is inadequate for the use of the
property"
The report throws no light on the
action that may be taken by the board
on account Of the unsatisfactory nego-
tiatons with the irector-General. but
the facts regarding the protest and the
claim for additional compensation ara
given as follows:
The receivership OF the Missouri
Pacific System for the major portion of
the test period and other unusual con-
ditions indisputably brought the property
within that class Of carriers Intended
by Congress to be accorded special con-
alteration Acting upon these assur-
ances and based upon the abnormal
maintenance expenditures, capital
charges, adjudicated rates and other con-
siderations formal claim aggregating
approximately $4.400,00O in addition to
the standard return was filed with the
Railroad Administration. Notwithstand-
ing the detailed presentations submitted
and the clear application of the act to
the Missouri Pacific Railroad situation
the Dtrector-General has not allowed
any portion Of the claim for additional
compensation"
In addition Mr.. Bronner said that the
trector-General had allocated to the
Missouri Pacific $500 freight cars pur-
chased by the Administration at an an
proximate cost Of S7,075,000. The report
said; 1.-THE transaction has not been
financed and none Of the cars delivered"
The report showed an increse of S.
100000 In the par holdings of Texas and
Pacific. making the total ownership 49,
$50 shares Of par value of $l1,555. 600.
The total book cost OF that stock and S27.-
100000 par value Of other stocks Is only
$s6s.S11. while the Texas and Pacific
stock alone had a market value of nearly
$6,SOo.000 at so. which was below yes

also owns $2S.7O3.o0O of the Texas and
Paciho's second mortgage income bonds,
Based on the operating income for
the test period. as certified by the In
terstate Commerce Commission. Mis-
souri, Pacific earned O net income after
charges OF S1.S87.9s4 against 1886. 104

The new organization. II 10 felt, will
enter the motor field as well as other IN
dustries, and the move is taken to In
dictate that the du Points are planning
to expand along broader lines In the In
dustrfal world. Tho letter sent out reads
in part as follows:
The recently issued annual report Of
your company called attention to the fact
that the directors found Il desirable to
invest a considerable part of our accumu-
lated surplus. and that in making the
investment it was found necessary to go
outside OF the original field OF the COM
pany's pursuits. Opportunities in like
directions, particularly In tho motor field,
will undoubtedly occur in the future. "A
majority OF the stockholders at the last
annual meeting approved the directors
policy In this regard

WILL PROBE LOANS
ON LIBERTY BONDS
Heavy Borrowings on United
States Securities Alarm
Reserve Board.
FEARS UNSAFE INVESTING
Reports Show Banks Receiving
Large Numbers Of Bonds
as Collateral.
Specinl De.patch 10 TIE sen.


WARRINGTON, June 1o.-Members Of the
FEDERAL Reserve Board and Treasury
ofncials are becoming alarmed at the
heavy borrowing from banks Of the
country by Liberty bondholders. Liberty
bond collateral has been offered for so
baking resources are being strained be-
You'd normal.
As result Of that situation the Fed
eral Reserve Banks OF the country have
been instructed to conduct an investiga-
tion in their respective districts to de-
tormine the underlying causes for this
heavy borrowing by bondholders.
Since the First Liberty Loan the
Treasury has striven to make bond buy
ing and investment enterprise by the
individual so that the bank resources
Of the country would be kept liquid and
the financial situation without strain.
To encourage investment and thrift, the
sale OF bonds has been discouraged
wherever possible and bondholders fnd-
ing themselves in straits have been en-
Outraged to borrow rather than sell
their bonds.
Those circumstances have combined to
make borrowing very heavy, but officials
here believe that bondholders are being
attracted by fake or at least unsafe in
vestments. 1t Is known that many are
falling victims to lurid sales of oil and
other stocks. In a great many instances,
1t Is believed. Liberty bond investors,
who have been reached In the educa-
tional campaign directed against those
who would exchange their bonds for
stocks Of doubtful value, have been in
weighed into further investment by the
simple expedient Of borrowing on their
bonds, turning the cash over to promo
tiers and then having to pay for their
bonds all over again.
Reserve bank reports show that banks
throughout the country are receiving
Large numbers OF bonds as collateral, and
that they are In turn being rediscounted
through the Reserve banks. As a result
the financial system is being gorged
With collateral notes on bonds which
are not regarded as strictly liquid as
sets.
Each of the Reserve banks Is to be
asked for suggestions as to a remedy
for the situation So far as can be
learned, officials are not in a position to
state how the situation can be met, but
It Is regarded as necessary to do some
thing to offset, X possible, the pledging
OF bonds for wildcat Investments.

STRIKES STOCK OFF LIST.
stock Exchange Drops Common Of
American Mailing Company.

Having been informed that the trans
fer books Of the American Mailing Com.
pany were permanently closed on Satur-
day and that there could be no more
transfers Of the stock the committee on
stock list Of the New York Stock Ex-
change yesterday announced that the
common shares Of the mailing company
had been stricken from the list.
Such action has been anticipated ever
since It became known that the lduIda-
ton Of the mailing company had resulted
in no equity for the common stock. The
governors Of the exchange hesitated to
strike the stock from the list as long as
II was possible to avoid such action,
taking the position that many holders Of
the stock had become heavy losers and
that they were entitled to a market for
their stock as long as 1t was possible to
maintain one.
The company's liquidating trustees
announced yesterday the declaration of
a partial dividend OF $50 a share on the
outstanding first preferred stock. Pay
ment will be made on presentation of the

Yield being heavy in most sections
Timothy and clover mixed ana clover
straight have made good yields and In
many cases the production VIII be TWO
tons to the acre. In places the hay IS
down. due TO the long period OF wet

Potato Crop Short.
Random Investigations have shown
that the potato crop will likely be
short. The plant has failed to take
deep root and the apple leaf hoppers
are feeding on the vines, Spraying has
done little good, the hoppers having
worked rapidly and sucked the nour-
ishments by working on the under
side OF the leaves.
II may be found, however, that the
potato damage Is confined to small
sections of tho county and that the
crop as u whole Nil be larger than
the rather limited Investigations would
indicate.
There still Is crying demand for
farm help, the county agent having ap-
pliCations from Marshall county far
mers for fifty or sixty day laborers
during the haying and harvesting. The

twenty more men on its farms at once
