WORLD COMBINE AS STEEL TRUST IS GARY'S PLAN

DEATH, RATE

IS LESS IN

BIG COUNTIES

The Interesting (act that counties in

the northern sanitary district of Indiana which are smaller than Allen county in population led this county in

the number of deaths last month. Is broug-ht out In th current issue of the

Bulleton of the Indiana State Board of Health.

Lake county, which has a population

of 82.884. had 108 deaths during: the

month, while Allen county with a population of 93.386 had but 85 de-aths in the month. St. Joseph county with a

population of 84,312 had 104 deathss

This shows conclusively that the health

conditions in Allen county are particu

larly satisfactory.

The death rate In Allen county for

the month was 11.1 per 1,000 of population. This was a lower rate thai: Blackford, Cass, Klkhart, Grant, Hunt

ington, Jay and nearly all the , other counties in the northern scanitary district, which includes the upper thirl of the state. Of the deaths eleven were of children under one year. Three

were of children from one to four years of age and two ech were from ten to fourteen and fifteen to nineteen respectively. Thirty-five were of persons over sixty-five years of agre and this was the highest number of persons of that age in this district to die during the month. This is taken as showing that people in Allen county are so healthy they live to a ripe old age.

W. C. BROWN FOR SENATE (Special to Thb Times.) r Indiana. Harbor. -July 6. People in this city who are interested in the career of W, C. Brown, president of the New Tork Central lines, and one of the most potent factors in the shaping of the destiny of the Calumet region, read with interest this morning the state

ment that Mr. Brown will resign his office as railroad head and is an avowed candidate for senator from Iowa.

The Record-Herald this morning has this to say regarding the action of the

big railroad man: "New York, July . A dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa,, today stated that W. C. Brown, president of the New York Central lines, is a candidate for the United States senate. Mr. Brown is reported to have made arrangements to enter the Jowa primaries next year for the post now held by W. S. Kenyon, former general counsel for the Illinois Central railroad. "Before going Into this fight, which promises to be long drawn and highly Interesting, Mr. Brown, it is said, will

resign from the presidency of the New York Central lines. As president of the New York Central lines Mr. Brown receives a salary of $76,000 a year. This he will forego, according to advices

from Iowa, where he Is reported to have

confided his senatorial -ambitions.

"The attitude of the senior senator from Iowa, Albert B. Cummins, toward the candidacy cif Mr. Brown is in doubt. The two men have been friends for forty years,? but they have differed greatly with respect to how the government should handle the railroads."

A MEMORABLE RIDE

People who ; think that they own choice lake front lota In blocks one. two i and three and parts of five, six.

seven and eight of Calumet City, Miller,

'lll -be surprised to hear that they own

nothing even though they should have tax titles, warranty deeds and abstracts galore. A new survey completed by Melton and Cutler, Joint engineers for the Gary park trustees and the Miller town trus

tees have found that the land indlcat-i

ed is at the bottom of tho lak and therefore belong to the state. All of blocks one two and three are

completely submerged and never have been land. .The north parts of blocks five, six seven and eight are partly submerged and if it came to a question of ownership riparian owners would possess tiU to 26 feet of water land regardless of all other claims. Haps Are Wronit. Heretofore the maps have always shown the Grand Calumet river as havIng'its mouth In the lake at Miller. Even the government maps show this. In reality the river does not empty into the lake as the mouth became clogged

All maps also show the submerged ty.

Brussels, July 6---Judge Elbert H. i Gary's plan for the practical elimination of competition Jn the manufacture of steel was unanimously approved by representatives of the leading steel companies of the world at yesterdays conference. A committee was appointed to consider a plan of organization and report today. In explaining his proposition for a world-wide combination along the lines of the American Iron and Steel Institute, Judge Gary, who presided over the conference, said the object was ''to prevent the destructive fluctuation of steel . prices, and maintain a business equilllbrium in the worlds steel Industry." "Let us assume," said Judge Gary,

"that during a given year the demand

for- product equals less than one-haif of the capacity to produce, and yet each

I producer is greedy and anxious to sen 'more than his fair proportion and acts j accordingly, and this attitude Is maintained until destructive results which ;we all know are almost cvertain to be , realized.

"Golden Rule In nnslnens." "There should be established and

continuously maintained a business friendship which compels one to feel the same concern for his neighbors that he has for himself. It is no less in principle than tho Golden Rule applied to business. Is it possible? If it is It wil lbe certain to pay."

Baron von Bodenhausen of the Krupp Works, speaking for the German group, warmly supported the idea, and one by one the members representing all tha nations and groups fully accepted th2 project. M. Kestranek for Austria, M. Dlix for France, Sir Hugh Bell and Sir John Handle for Great Britain and M. Greiner for Belgium. All present had known by correspondence the purpose of the meeting and had decided in advance to Join the "Golden Rule" movement. Beyond Lawn of Nations? , Discussing the question whether suc! a world-wide combination could be formed without a violation of existing laws, particularly in the United States, some of the representatives agreed

that, being an international organization, no nation could declare it to be illegal. The steel Interests of the United States, Canada, England, France, Ger

many, Belgium, Italy, Austria and

Spain were represented by 160 dele gates at today's conference.

The initiative for calling the steel

congress was taken by the American Steel and Iron Institute, which invited

foreign manufacturers to America and

who were o favorably Impressed with

the effectiveness of that organization

in tlit United States that an interna

tional conference ;was readily assentel

to.

Jumped from the wagon, which had a

quantity of hay in it. He struck the stone road hard, and was unable to

arise, his side and leg being severely

hurt. The horses kept on toward town. At "Death's corner" one of them broke

to the barn yard the shafts fell down,

stuck into the ground and broke one

off short and turning the wagon upside down and smashing It. The horse was taken care of. Young Brownell stopped his machine,, took Mr. Gragg in and brought him to his uome. He had no

bones broken and will soon recover.

In a joking way Mrs. Kllma and Mrs. Kieer said they certainly would but- still did not get in. They were finally persuaded to get In by tho man, and had not gone out far when the boat tipped over. Both Mrs. Klzer and Mrs.-Kllma were thrown out, but Mrs. Kllma who is subject to fainting spells, was so frightened she lost her presence of mind, end at once went into

came to the rescue, and between tho

owner of the boat, and the two women, they managed to get Mrs. Kllma to the shore. Russel Smith happened to.be at the beach .at the time, and rushed

home for his automobile, which answered the- purpose of the ambulance. Mrs. Kllma was put, Into the machine, and was taken to her home, where Dr.
