STATE ENTERING DEfIH PERIOD, PR. KING WARNS i Health Board Secretary Says Peak Comes in ivt Three Months. Indiana Is now entering what Dr. ■William F. King, secretary of the State board of health describes as the "death period” of the year. The State health board head declared that the State rate reaches its peak during the months of January, February and March, each year. The death rate begins , its upward climb about the middle of December and the increase continues until the last of January or the middle of February, he said. The reason for this. Dr. King said, is that many of the older people of the State contract pneumonia or influenza during the winter months and die as a, result. Little Resistance These people do not have the resisting powers of youth, it was said, and the cold weather further reduces this power of resistance. Slushy, cold, rainy weather plays a, big part in this heavy death rate I increase. While January, February and March lead all other months in the number of deaths per thousand of population, June, July and August see the least number of death, Dr. King pointed out. This was explained by King who declared that since modem medicine has practically conquered the socalled "summer complaint” on Infants there has been a very decided slump In the death rate for those months. Typhoid Combated The effective methods now used to combat typhoid fever, the fact that practically all water used for drinking purposes In the State is tested and the resultant decrease In the number of cases of Intestinal trouble also has played a big part in the reduction. "It Is seldom,” Dr. King said, “that we have records of children dying from the so-called summer complaint in this day and age.” The automobile also has played a part in the decrease In the summer death rates, because It enables the people of the cities to get out in the open and relax after a hard day In the heat nd turmoil of an office, Dr. King declared. Regardless of the part played by the automobile the fact that people spend more of their time out-of-doors during the summer months, and are therefore In better .physical condition plays a big part in the decline in summer mortality rates, it was said. October and November with the changeable weather conditions existing at that time, the smoke resulting from the burning of leaves and other debris also is a very dangerous period of the year, King said.

Warring factions of the State board of health, while loath to discuss the situation which for a while threatened to disrupt the entire department, were in a position of deadlock today, with no Immediate prospect of any of the charges of counter-charges against members being tried. Dr. T. Victor Keene of Indianapolis, Democratic member of the board and leader of the insurgent faction, declared he hoped for an early trial of Dr. William F. King, secretary, on charges of insubordination and engaging in an outside occupation of profit. Dr. Keene, however, admitted he had no notion of when the charges will be tried. James W. Noel, attorney for Dr. Keene and other members of the board, all of whom have opposed retention of Dr. King as secretary, admitted he had no idea of when the trial will be held. "I havp nothing further,” was Noel’s reply to other questions bearing on the Issue. Counter Charges With Governor Jackson out of the city until late next week, no action was expected on the countercharges which have been launched against Dr. Keene by Clarence B. Joseph, a taxpayer, through Ira Chase Koehne, Dr. King’s attorney. Joseph charged Keene with leading the movement to oust King, with threatening the public health of the State and with playing havoc with the board's affairs in general. Jack•son was asked to 1 call a meeting of the State board which appoints members of the health body, to try keene on the charges and to youst_ him. Jackson seemingly has given the charges no attention, although early in the dispute he stopped a rump meeting of the board, which had been called to try Dr. King, and it is said, went so far as to demand Dr. Keene's resignation later.
King Silent Dr. King has remained silent during the protracted squabble and has made no formal reply to any of the charges. Through a court injunction this summer Dr. King was able to restrain the board from trying him. but a demurrer to the order I was sustained by Judge Zimri E. j Dougan of the Hendricks Circuit; Court recently, leaving the way ' clear for trial. N Repeated efforts have been made by Dr. Keene’s following to have j the Marion County grand Jury indict Dr. King on some of the charges that have been brought against him by the board, but so far the grand jury, it is understood, has paid no j heed to these efforts. /On request of Keene the State board of accounts made an audit of i Dr. King's books, and, while the re- 1 port has not been made public, noth- I ing alarming is revealed in the document, it is understood.

thracite mine owners' books is watered, and that $200,000,000 in inflated valuations have been levied against the public In form of increased coal costs during the last ten years. “Until the nation.” the letter declares, "decides that the industry is too important to be left to those who are more Intent on speculating In It than In mining coal, and nationalizes it on the basis of original costs, the public will be robbed and the miners will have a hard time In getting decent wages.” The League is convinced that nationalization Is the ultimate solution also In the bituminous coal industry “with its scandalous wastes. Its ruinous over-development and. In some districts, lts chronic civil war between the operators and its workers.” The New York Coal Commission has proved Impotent during the present anthracite strike to. prevent profiteering, according to the letter. Anthracite has Jumped from sl4 to S3O a ton in New York City, coke from $3 to $lB, soft coal from $6 to sl6. Nationalization, the League believes, “would mean that all anthracite would have practically the same price for each size, and that any dealers charging more for storing and delivering it would immediately be known.” The letter points out that anthracite miners in 1923 officially proposed a plan for retirement of the capital by the Industry Itself. 6 per cent bonds to be substituted for outstanding capital stock. This plan would retire the capital within fifty years at a cost of only 28 cents per ton, the League says. STAGE FOLKS GIVENDINNER C. Roltare Eggleston Host to Keith’s and Palace Artists.
