THREE BIG CAUSES
FOR U. S. DEATHS
Heart Disease, Pneumonia and
Tuberculosis the Fac
tors, Report Shows

Washington, June 25.-The Gem
sus Bureaus annual compilation OF
mortality statistics for the death
registration area in the United
States shows 1.oss.s32 deaths as
having occurred in that area in
1917, representing a rate OF 14.2 per
1000 OF population. OF these deaths,
nearly one-third were due to three
causes-heart disease, pneumonia
and tuberculosis-and nearly an
other third resulted from the fol-
lowing nine causes: Bright's disease
and nephritis, apoplexy. cancer,
diarrhea and onteritis. arterial dis
eases. influenza, diabetes, diphtheria
and bronchitis. The death-registra-
ton area of the United States In
1917 comprised twenty-seven States.
the District of Columbia and forty
three cities in nonregistration
States, with a total estimated popu-
enty three per cent of the esti-
mated population of the United
States.
The deaths from heart diseases
numbered 1887, or 1882 per
100000 population.
Pneumonia was responsible for
112,S21 deaths, or 1873 per 100,-
900. This rate, although much low
er than that for 1900 GS0.5) or for
several succeeding. years, is higher
than that for any year during the
period 190S-1916.
tuberculosis in its various forms
caused 110.2s5 deaths, of which
97,047 were due to tuberculosis OF
the lungs.

ASK TROLLEY
ON HERR STREET
Public Service Commission
Requested to Extend its Line
on That Thoroughfare

The Public Service Commission
has received the following letter
from owners of property on Herr
street especially the section which
will be developed in the expansion
OF the city.
On August II. 1917. your Honor
able Board recommended that the
Harrisburg Railways Company build
new line on Herr street under
the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks,
to the Hill with proper connections.
cross overs and otherwise, to afford
ample facilities for the present pop
ulation in that section, and for its
prospective development. 1t Is GER
tain that war conditions prevented
the accomplishment of your recon-
mendations. and this company was
justified in not doing this work. but
these conditions have certainly
changed, and now the strongest
pressure has been, and is now being
brought by the United States and
State authorities, and by all Cham
berS of Commerce, and other pro-
greSSive bodies of all cities, to have
public and private work done to the
limit. Plans are now under way in
this city by the Chamber OF Com
merce, and others to promote build
ing of homes, which are much need
ed, and yet the one great help, and
that which would be of greatest
use in this direction, so far, has
been denied this city. There are
one hundred acres of vacant land
within few squares of the physi-
cal center and also of the center of
population, the greater part of it
has all other facilities. including
sewers, electric lights, water and
gas. and yet for the want OF street
cars, this plot is now available for
houses. Two years ago good and
sufficient reasons were given your
honorable body for this street car
line extension. To-day these reasons
are all greatly intensified and added
to.
The State Arsenal with its many
employees is without proper street
car facilities. 1t is proposed in this
neighborhood to construct the arm
ory and buildings necessary to ac-
commodate the troop of State police
to be stationed in or near this city.
In closing it can be said that with
proper street car lines. this section
of the city, almost within its CEN
ter. will rapidly build up with
houses so badly needed.
The construction of the proposed
memorial bridge at State street will
stop the operation of cars for some
time, and a great portion of the pop
ulation on the Hill will have to
walk to or use automobiles.
Several years ago a petition signed
by more than four thousand people.
mostly living on the Hill, and all
interested. asking the Harrisburg
Railways Company to do just about
what is contained in' this communi-
cation. was presented to the Rail-
ways company, and is still in their
possession.

Reparations Delay
Completion of the
Treaty With Austria
BY Afsoeiated Press.

Paris, June 25.-The question of
reparations is still delaying compile

to the difficulty of aligning the small

THEATERS LAST NIGHT,

Garrick-ManteII ms Richard III.
The fnal performance in the en-
gagement of Robert Mantell and his
company, the play being Richard

ater to applause of more than usual
eagerness and enthusiasm. partly on
the merits Of the production, but also
largely In token of sincerely fond
farewell. The little Shakespearean
festival is past. 1t Is rot too mucn
to hope that washington's apprecia-
ton has been such that the last Of
the tragedians" will make a point of
reaching the Capital in future sea-
sons.
Richard III is one of the TRACE
dies that, II memory serves. Mr.. Man
tell has omitted during recent sea-
sons, at least in Washington, so that
his rendering of the crookback king
has flavor OF novelty. 1t gives a
new Impression of his versatility, his
capacity for complete expression OF
varied personalities. His Richard is
painted in broad, somewhat glaring
strokes. but the result is grim and
powerful. In rendering the kings
demoni8c humors he lapses too far
at times into sheer burlesque, but this
is a minor defect incident to the bold,
free. mocking spirit with which he
treats the character. which, after all
cannot be taken in a realistic sense.

for his defamation of Richmond's 8

Evenson and Miss Reynolds all did

there should be no discrimincSi ion

During the six months from August
1915. to January 1919, the Postal Tele-
graph Company carried only about
seventeen per cent OF the business of
the country and about eight and a
half OF the government business,
Burleson said. while the Western
Union carried about eighty-three per
cent of the country's business and
ninety-one per cent of the govern
ment business.
Handling of government business,
claimed by both companies to be at a
loss OF fifty per cent of the operating
costs, is a charge against the gross
revenues which. Burleson declared, Is
escaped by a company avoiding this
necessary public service.
The increase in operating expenses
due to larger number of employees and
higher wage rates for the Western
onion will amount to Z7.S0S.o0c this
year, while the gross revenue will be
enhanced by only 100000 during the
