VALUATION DELAY
CHARGED TO 7.
Assistant City Solicitor Issues
Angry Attack After Mistakes
In Report Are Shown
PUTS BLAME ON PRINTER

The Rapid Transit Company is try
ing to delay its valuation hearing be-
fore the Public Service Commission.
Assistant City Solicitor Rosenbaum
charged today before Commissioner
Clement.
Mr.. Roscnbaum plainly was smart
ing because Of errors found yesterday
In the city's valuation report by Cole
man J. Joyce, +. X. r. counsel. Mr..
Rosenbnum insisted the supposed er-
rors were the fault Of the printer,
On the ultimate valuation placed on
the properties Of the p. II. Il. and un-
derlying companies will depend the per-
manent rate Of fare fixed for this city.
The municipal government contends the
company's valuation is inflated.
Immediately after Commissioners
Clement opened the second days hear
ing in Room 243, City Hall. Mr..
Roscnbaum said:
"Mr. Joyce threw n stink bomb into
our report yesterday which, beyond
giving forth a loud stencil for a day.
will do no damage, because we are here
today with the witness who is familiar
with the tables Of figures in question.
prepared to show they are correct and
contain neither falsehoods, inaccura-
cies or mathematical errors, except in
so far as the errors are typographical
or made in transcriptions from notes.
Scores Joyce's Tactics
"AIr. Joyce followed This up with n
poison gas attack from safe distance
by rushing from the hearing room back
to his headquarters and giving out "a
the newspapers a vain glorious state
ment. quoting his own brave words OF
the morning. This was also premature
and I hate to characterize this az
unprofessional.
''These tactics are intended only for
delay and to cover up the atrocities In
! the company's own case. II Mr.. Joyce
had conferred with our people with any
frankncss in an effort to reach the
truth in this case instead OF wasting
the last three months, these insignif.
cant errors would have been explained
and we would have been able to finish
this testimony before October l.
Unrlfled by Attack
The caustic utterance Of the AS
sistant City Solicitor brought no reply
from Mr.. Joyce. Entirely unrufIlcC
he announced the company would pro.
ceed with the cross examination Of til,
city's witnesses.
Robert F. Feustel. chief Of the city
experts. was on the witness stand
Mr.. Joyce attacked the table of fig.
ures purporting TO give the capitaliza
tlon of the p. r.. T. and its subsidi
aries.
The witness sought to explain tha
the total objected to was manifestly {
typographical error. Commissions
Clement agreed with the witness. Thi

NATIONS DEATH RATE
SHOWS BIG DECREASE
Increases Reported in Only a
Few Causes.

Washington, Dec. oS.-DecIines IN
the death rate from heart diseases,
influenza and pneumonia. and tubcr-
culosis, in all its forms, the three
principal causes Of death In the Unit
ed States, were the outstanding fea-
lures of 1921, which shows the lowest
death rate recorded in any year since
the beginning Of the annual compila-
tons in 1909, the census bureau an
nOunced.
Increases were shown in the rate
for cancer, automobile accidents and
injuries, diphtheria, typhoid, suicide
and homicide, and several other caus-
eS.
While the 1921 death rate was 11.6
per 1000, compared with 13.1 in 1920,
a higher rate for 1922 is Indicated
in the reports for the first six months
of this year, showing the rate to be
1913 for that period. Those rates are
for the registration area of COntinen-
tai United States, comprising "a
states, the District of Columbia and
10 cities in non-registration states,
with q total estimated population of
July 1 of SS,667 ,602, or S2.2 per cent
of the estimated population of the
United States on that date, which
was 1O9,24S,393.
The total number of deaths In the
registration area was 1882, 900, COM
pared with 1,142,55S in 1920: The
rate per 100000 was 1859, compared
with 1860 in 1920. Based on the
death rate for the registration area
the number of deaths for the whole
United States for 1921 approximates
1921 IA.
Heart diseases were responsible for
one-eighth of all deaths, or 130,351
deaths in 1921, but the rate per 1OO,.
600 declined from 1897 to 1910. In
f1uenza and pneumonia in all forms
caused SS,45S deaths, compared with
1S2,2O5 in 1920, the rate declining
from 20S.3 to 999. tuberculosis in
all it's forms resulted in SS,135 deaths,
compared with 99,916 in 1920, the rate
declining from 114.2 to 99.4.
Cancer and other malignant tumors
were responsible for 1924 deaths,
compared with 1881 in 1920, the rate
increasing from 1914 to $50.
Automobile accidents and injuries
resulted in 1O,168 deaths, compared
with 9103, the rate increasing now
from 1O.4 to lis per 100000 of popu-
lation.
