Of the insurance company's l7,OOO,-
600 industrial policyholders who
constitute a reliable cross-section
OF the wage-earning popula tons Of
the United States and Canada.
1885 Level
THE year-to-date automobile ac-
cident death rate Is now ut sub
stantially the same level as at the
end Of November 1885," the statisti-
clans explain. up TO the end Of
August there was every indication
that the record for automobile
fatalities In 1885 would show con-
siderable betterment over that for
last year; but motor vehicle deaths
for September, October and Novem-
Der have exceeded last years figures,
and 1t may easily develop that no
Improvement at all will be In evi-
dence by the end Of the year."
While the policyholders' health
record for 1895 through November
has been q good one, and indicates
that the year will end with q death
rate very little higher than the all-
time low rate OF 1885, and with new
minimal mortality rates established
for number of important diseases,
the statisticians express some dis
appointment In the development
which occurred in tuberculosos NOR
tally.
Tuberculosis
For the FIRST time since 1890"
they explain, 1T must be reported
that there has been at least tenn
porary setback In the hitherto ex-
cellent mortality record from tuber-
culosis. Since September themonth-
ly rates this year have been higher
than last year, September by very
small bargin: October by 13 per
cent; and November by 0 per cent.
The average rate for the year, TO
date, still shows q net gain, but as
the result of the setback OF the past
few months this year. to-date i'm
provement is only 90 per cent, as
against a 7.8 per cent average an
nual decrease from 1880 TO 1885"
New Minimum
Despite this decline In tubercu-
losis mortality improvement, the
statisticians expect that q new
minimum death rate for the dis
ease will be registered for the full
year Of 1895. New minimum death
rates also are sure to be recorded
for the year for the principal COM
municable diseases Of childhood
measles, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and diphtheria--as well as
for chronic nephritis 9 the puer-
peral diseases. A drop In the homi-
eide rate TO a new low level Is as
sured for the year, while the sui
eide rate Is continuing the decline
WITCH has been in evidence since
1898. For the 11-month period, the
cancer death rate has declined 90
per cent, as compared with the
same period of 1885, while the
suicide rate has dropped IS per
cent. Heart disease, pneumonia and
all forms of accidents combined,
however, have all registered consid-
cradle rises over their 1885 death
rates.

perhaps those resolutions made to

Proposal for 15-Day Cessa-

Made by Influential
Diplomat
MADRID AGREEABLE
TOWARD THE MOVE
Rebels Disclaim Attempt To
Bomb u. S. Destroyer
Kane August 30; Truce at
San Sebastian Gives Re-
bells Chance for Fresh
Drive on Capital
(By The Associated Press.)

Spanish rebels, a Pamplona news
paper disclosed today, have turned
down a proposal for 15-day general
armstice in the civil war.
The proposal, credited to a diplomat
of great influence, envisaged a change
in the radical Spanish Constitution
during the 15-day period to make it
more acceptable to rightist elements
revolving against the Socialist-domin-
ated government.
MadridS acceptance was said to
have been counted upon, but the Fas-
cist rebels totally rejected any such
plan, preferring to fight on for COM
plete control of the nation, it was
said
With an unofficial armistice appar-
entity prevailing before the besieged
city of San Sebastian, the rebels were
reported turning their entire atten-
tion to a new march on Madrid.
Their junta at Burgos formally an
nounced a rebel plane was not re-
sponsible for the attempted bombing
of the United States destroyer Kane
last August 80.
The junta said insurgent airmen
We're especially careful to avoid at
lacking ships of "such a friendly and
loyal power"
In London. Great Britain again
pressed Portugal for complete adher-
ence to the work of an international
neutrality committee.
The San Sebastian truce, not ack-
nowledged by leaders of either side,
but nevertheless an apparent fact,
came after basque nationalistis in the
city seized control from anarchists
who threatened to fire the whole re-
sort rather than surrender. The anar-
chists were deported and the advanc-
ing rebel columns drew up short.

Counsel For

A Certiorari
Attorney for Con-
demned Clevenger
Slayer Makes APP
peal In High Court

Raleigh, Sept. 1O.-(AP)-Martin
Moore, Asheville Negro, sentenced to
die for the murder of Helen eleven
ger, of New York, lodged motion
through counsel in the North Caro-
lima Supreme Court today for a writ
of certiorari to secure review Of
his trial in Buncombe County SUI
perior Court.
Sanford w. Brown, retained by
Moore's family to defend him, filed
the motion asking that the clerk of
Buncombe Superior Court be directed
forthwith to send the Supreme Court
"a true record of the case on appeal"
Yesterday the State. through At
torney General A. A. F. Seawell, ask
ed the court to docket and dismiss
the appeal of Moore on the grounds
the appeal has not been filed here
as required by the rules Of the court
IA days before the appeals from the
district, including Buncombe county,
were called. The cases were called
yesterday.
Brown pointed out in his motion
that Solicitor Zeb V. Nettles inter-
posed no opposition in superior court
on August %, the day Moore was con-
victed, when the presiding judge
granted the defendant As days in
which to make up and serve his ap-
peal, but now contends the judge was
in error and should have allowed only
Is days.
Browns motion also contends there
is reversible error in the record COM
mitted in the trial of the case," in
asking for the order to bring the case
before the Supreme Court.
