RALPH KEELOR RUNS DOWN THE "FAKE" WHICH HUNDRED OF NEWSPAPERS IN THE COUNTRY "FELL FOR."

Mrs. Harry Keelor of this city stat

ed today that nearly every paper In

the country was "taken in" and ber son, Horace, now studying embalming at the Marine hospital Washington.

D. C., , was ( the victim .of a practical Joke' perpetrated by two . of his Chicago friends, an , undertaker named Klamer and a news dealer named Slick, who, she says her son Ralph

states In a letter Just received by her,

prepared fake story, telling how

Horace had recently enlisted in the

, navy and had then been informed that

his grandfather had died and left him

an estate of $1,500,000 but that he

could not come Into possession of it unless he secured . a . position -. which would earn him $75 per, month, and

that Horace had taken steps to secure his release from the naval service so

he could qualify for his inheritance.

This story , was accepted by a Chicago

paper and the news distributing agen clea sent It all over the country. Sev

eral newspapers communicated with

Mrs. Keelor by long distance telephone, requesting her to confirm the

stery and to send photographs of

Horace.

, Mrs. Keelor says her son Ralph, who

Is living in Chicago, has for a week been investigating the report to learn

where the story originated. ' He became auspicious of Klamer and Slick

and his suspicion! were confirmed

when Slick told him to "watch for the

next story In the Chicago Record-Her

aid." He made this statement two or

three hours, Ralph Keelor says, before

It was time for that paper to go to

press. The "fake" will be regarded by Hor

ace Keelor and the members of his

family as a "Joke and no further attention will be paid to It

DEPARTMENT IN QUANDARY

Trenton. N. J, Sept. 27. ''This police job isn't what it's cracked up to be when you have to be bitten by a little yellow cur every time you go through your beat. said patrolman Charles Walsh when he informed police headquarters that he had been bit

ten by the same dog half a dozen times

within the last month. He said he

would not stand for such annoyance, and wanted to know if the department would permit him to send a nice little bullet through the dog's heart that is if he has one," as the complaining policeman put it.

The department heads are in a

quandary as to what action to take, inasmuch as Prince, the dog referred to.

which is owned by Samuel Ford, never has bitten anyone but the policeman

and has never shown any viciousness to strangers. Walsh says he is afraid

to patrol in the section of his beat where the Ford home is because the

dog simply delights in taking pieces out of one" of his legs.

VOTE BRINGS HAIRCUT

Corpus Christi, Tex, Sept. 27.The result of the Maine election has had its effect in Texas. Jap Skein, a citizen of this place, was so firm in the belief when Maine elected a Democratic governor thirty years ago that that state would continue in the Democratic column that he made a vow not to have his hair cut until It again went Democratic. - ",;!. r"-"7--i'' He kept his pledge. His hair grew until it attained the length of sixteen inches. His flowing locks gave Mr. Skein a picturesque and venerable appearance. When news of the result of the recent election in Maine reached him he remembered his vow and proceded immediately to a barber, who quickly severed the long hair close to the scalp. The locks were made into a braid and are on exhibition in . the show window of a local business house.

(American News Service. Washington. Sept. 27. While the to

tal number, 81,720, of deaths from tuberculosis In 1909 was greater than

for any preceding year and exceeded

by 3,431 the number, 78,289, compiled

or 1908, the death rate, in the census

bureau's death registration states and cities, showed a decline from 173.9 in

1908 to 187.5 per 100,000 estimated population in 1909, as reported in the forthcoming bulletin on mortality statistics prepared by Dr. Creasy L. Wilbur, chief statistician for vital

statistics, and submitted to Director

Durand.

Tho 1909 rate Is the lowest on rec

ord for the census registration area, although It should be remembered that the rates for this area, to which

large additions were uade in 1906, 1908, and 1909, may not be strictly comparable throughout the period covered with respect to constitution of

population. The addition of the new registration state of Ohio fir 1909, for example, by bringing In a considerable

rural population with a normally low death rate from tuberculosis would

tend tp depress the death rate from

this cause for the registration area as

aSrhole.

It is remarkable the bulletin state.

that the aggregate 0 registration cities, which is hot affected by the transfer of cities from the group of

cities in nonregistration states to the

group of cities in registration states,

shows practically tho same numoer, 64.461, of deaths for 1909 as for 1908, which was 64,466, or a decrease of

only 5 deaths.

Deaths from Tubereulossis Decrease.

Excluding Ohio, which is shown

only for 1909, 11 of the 17 registration

states for which data are given pre sented numerical decreases in deaths from tuberculosis for 1909 as compared with 1908, the largest being for New York (415) and Rhode Island

(107). Deaths from tuberculosis in

creased in Washington (91) and California. (78) among the states showing more deaths from this cause. Among the larger cities the chief fluctuations were increases of 85 for St.

Louis, Mo., 1 for Minneapolis, Minn., 68 for Toledo, Ohio, and 56 for New Haven, Conn.; significant for their small amount; while decreases of 222

occurred for New York. 194 for Phila

delphia, Pa., and 149 for New Orleans, La.

Cancer -showed a much greater proportional increase' in the number of deaths than tuberculosis, rising from 33,465 for 1908 to 37,662 or 1909. The death rate increased from 74.3 to 77, the latter being the - highest crude death rate from cancer .thus far recorded for the registration area of the United States. 1 . It should be- remembered, the bul

letin points out, that cancer Is one of the diseases having a peculiar age distribution for which the study of crude death rates is apt to be especially misleading and until a careful analysis can be made of the data with reference to the population details available, after the compilation of census of the present year,. it will be wise to limit the inferences to the fact that the number of deaths so reported and the crude rate from this cause show a constant tendency to increase from year to year. The probability of more accurate statement of this disease aa a cause of death by attending physicians must be taken into consideration and the fact that the saving of Uvea from tuberculosis and other preventable diseases ot early or middle life would, leave more persona subject to cancer at the cancer ages, and thus increase the total number ot deaths

from this cause and the crude cancer rate, although the actual incidence of the disease at the various periods of

life may not have been altered materially. The distribution ot cancer according to location on the body shows little change except a diminution of the residual group due to more accurate statements of physicians. All certificates of death by cancer should state whenever ascertainable, the site of origin of the disease. Deaths from Tuberculosis Decrease. The uniform tendency to increase in the number of deaths reported from cancer is shown in the totals reported for the registration states and cities for 1908 and 1909. AU the 17 states for which data are given for the two years showed more deaths from this cause in the latter year, except Maryland and South Dakota for which slightly diminished numbers were returned. Of the 36 large cities only 5 showed more deaths from cancer In 1908 than in 1909, and the amounts of decrease were very small in each case. The numerical Increase in the

deaths registered from cancer was not

large for any particular state or city.

but the most Impressive feature is the widespread Increase shared by all states and cities with but few excep

tions.

The total number of deaths caused by typhoid fever in the registration

area for the year 1909 was 10,722, a

reduction of 653 from the number.

11,375, recorded for the somewhat smaller registration area of 1908. The

death rate fell from 25.3 to 22 per

100,000 estimated population.
