LOW DEATH RATE
IN PHILIPPINES

MANILA, August 19.-The death
rate in the Philippine Islands dur
ing the year 1928 was 17.5 per
thousand which is the lowest ever
recorded, according to report Of
yoe Philippine Health Service. The
1878 death rate was eight per cent
lower than that of 1922 and four
le.n per cent lower than in 1921.
There has been a corresponding
decrease in the infant mortality
'"'e' toward which the insular gov
e''Aent has exerted much effort.
Health officials attribute the de.
crease in the death rate to increas-
ed efficiency of the health organ
IzatIon, improved sanitation of pop
ulous centers and increased interest
IN health education of the masses.

THIRD AGGIE | 0SES
APPROPRIATION MADE
BY GENERA.LASSEMBLY
Governor Walker Affixes Exc
cutive Veto to Bill Thus De-
feating Measure
OTHER SCHOOLS LOSE, TOO
Action to Compel CurtaiIment
of Program of Expansion at
School Here

Governor Walker last night We
toed the special appropriation bill
passed by the general assembly last
week, apportioning $4,000 to the
Third District Agricultural and Me-
chanical school at Americas. Tele-
grams bringing information of his
action caused much regret to be
expressed among friends Of the
school here.
1t is understood the governor has
ed his veto upon the assumption
that a majority Of the members Of
the house were not present when
the bill as amended in the senate
was passed by that body. This
fact, however, does not appear up
on the journa of the house, accord
ing to Senator Pace, who examined
the record before leaving Atlanta.
The house journal, he says, shows
that a constitutional majority was
present and voting when the APP
preparation was adopted, aud that
it is his information that the jour
nal is the record that governs all
actions taken by either house Of
the general assembly.
John M. France, principal of TIE
school, stated this afternoon that
the institution would be seriously
embarrassed by the action Of Gov
ernor Walker in vetoing the bill. A.
number Of debts which it had been
! planned to liquidate with this mon
ley are already in shape for filing
suit against the schoo, and now
there will be no funds whatever for
their payment. 1t is stated. also,
that contemplated expansion in the
course OF study at the school will
be abandoned altogether as a result
of the failure of the appropriation.
Messrs. Hines and Riley, Sum
ter's representatives in the lower
house were not seen this afternoon,
and it is impossible. therefore, to
present any expression Of opinion
regarding the governors action
from either OF then.

COUNSEL. AND WITNESS

CHICAGO, August 19.-Corr-

marked the cross-examination today

hammer-and-tongs exchange with
Benjamin Bachrach Of defense
counsel, who started his cross ex-
animation of the states ace.
Frequently the doctors replies to
the staccoto fire of questions about
his qualifications as IN expert
brought laughter from the crowd.
Judge John R. Caverly admonished
both to refrain from by-play. Fin
ally Mr.. Bachrach asked the court to
instruct the witness to answer a
question relating to the Doctors ac-
tivities at the Kankakee hospital
for the insane in the late nineties
Judge Caverly glanced at the
clock which was two minutes BE-
yond the adjournment hour, straigh
tened up in his chair and with a
twinkle in his eyes announced IN

The yell of merriment that fol-
lowed was the greatest Of the day
and the only one that brought no
rebuke from the bailiff's gavel.
The days developments added
little to the progress In the case but
served to bring it appreeiably clos

PARIS AUTHORITIES APPROVE SETTLEMENT
Coz. Bryan In Harmony
With Davis And Party
Nominee for Vice-President
Flags Republicans for InCreas-
ing Cost of Living and
Extravaganza

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 19.-(BY
The Associated Press) Gov. Charles
w. Bryan of Nebraska in accepting
Che Democratic vice-presidential
nomination here last night praised
The party platform as broad, strong
and progressive enough to satisfy
the principle OF equality before
the law" and fit instrument
through which farmers and wage
earners might work their will with
out dividing strength and making
possible 'the triumph of reaction
and selfish interest. "
John w. Davis, the presidential
nominee, and himself were termed
''in harmony with the platform
which we have been nominated"
The Democratic party stands as
unit, "without the intervention Of
faction, bloc or section" he de-
clared, "free from obligation to-
either individuals or interests that
would prevent it from being used to
restore confidence in government
and economic justice to the ma
ton"
His selection as zone from the
heart of the gread middle west" as
the ,vice-presidential candidate Gov.
Bryan hailed as the Democratic
party's recognition of "the impor'
tanee of agriculture as one of the
basic industries of the nation"
Political unrest and discomfort
throughout the country is a pro-
test against the inaction of those in
public office, he asserted, coupling
the statement with an accusation
that failure of the Republican ad-
ministration to enforce the law
against conspiracies in restraint of
trade and illegal combinations Of
business which stifle competition
has unnecessarily, unfairly and dis
honestly increased the COST of living
and permitted the prof!teer to ply
his trade without let or hindrance. :"
Entrance of some states in the
middle west into the field of COM
merce, he attributed to the failure
Of the national Republican, admin
stration to enforce the law against
private monopoly" Although, he
continued, millions of dollars a year
We're saved to the peop1e in their
coal, gasoline and oil bills, he did
not favor such municipal or state
competition except when govern
ment officials become corrupt and
The federal government fails to
function for the protection of the
masses. The alternative result
would be I. w. WIS boIsheviks and
anarchy in the community and
state, " he declared.
Gov, Bryan in discussing what he
termed "a few of the outstanding
issues uppermost in the minds of
the people of the great agricultural
states" included "women's worth
and equality, child welfare, the
Democratic party's interest in and
support of labor, the needs of the
