ANSWERS MAGAZINE ARTICLE | Declares That the Decrease of Births in Well to Do Familles Tends to the Elimination Instead of the Survival ot the Fittest. New York, May 1—In a letter to ithe editor of the Review of Reviews President Roosevelt takes exception to certain statements made in an article on “The Doctor in the Public School,” published in the April number of that perlodical, and takes occasion to re- new his expressions on the subject of race suicide. “This writer states clearly,” says the president, “that it is an erroneous idea to assume that the average fam- ily should have a larger number of healthy children than the present birth rate showed. The vital statls- tles of a state like Massachusetts show that there the average native American family of native American descent has so few children that the birth rate has fallen below the death rate. This, of course, means race sul- ofde and it ought to be understood that if after a while there are no children to go to school the question of their health in school would not even be academic.” Ellmination of the Fittest. Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt says: “The greatest problem of civilization 1s to be found in the fact that the well to do families tend to die out; there results, in consequence, a tendency to the elimination, instead of the sur- vival, of the fittest and the moral attl- tude which helps on this tendency is, of course, strengthened when it is apologized for and praised in a maga- zine like yours. “Our people could still exist under all kinds of iniquities in government; under a debased currency; under offi- ofal corruption; under the rule of a sociallstic proletariat or a wealthy oligarchy. “All these things would be bad for us, but the country would still exist. But it could not continue to exist if it paid heed to the expressed or im- plled teachings of such articles as this.” consequently he never got into vodville. : Antony got stuck on Cleopatra and was so eesy she named him Mark.

Macon, Ga, May 1.—Within three hours after his slaying of Henry D. Smith, a wealthy printer here, L. D. Strong, manager of one of the largest stores in the city, was released from arrest following a verdict by a cor- oner’s jury of “justifiable homicide.” The unwritten law was the justifica- tion. The tragedy aroused tremendous excitement throughout the city, chiefly by reason of the prominence of the principals and the fact that Smith had fired, as he believed, in punishment for the wronging of his sister. When Strong stepped out of the coroner’s courtroom a free man he was received with enthusiastic cheers. Smith lived Just long enough to deny the accusa- tion against him. He said he knew he was dying and that he was inno- cent. Strong fired five bullets into the body of his victim. The murder was witnessed by a score of Smith’'s em- ployes. Among them were six women, all of whom fell to the floor fainting. Five minutes before the shooting the grand jury had handed up an indict- ment against Smith charging him with an attack on Miss Lillian Strong, sister of the murderer. The girl her- self was the chief witness. SALT LAKE STRIKE ENDS. Street Car Men Gain All Demands Ex- cept Recognition of Union. Salt Lake City, May 1.—Street car service in Salt Lake has been re- sumed after suspenslon since Sunday. After the electrical workers had prac- tically decided to go out in sympathy with the carmen, as well as for the adjustment of grievances of their own, the street car company sent for former Congressman Brigham H. Roberts and gave him plenary powers to come to any settlement with the men that would not involve formal recognition of the union. Mr. Roberts immediate- 1y met National Secretary C. O. Pratt, who told him the terms of the men. To these Mr. Roberts assented and the strike was over. The demands of the men which were granted are a rate of 25 cents an hour for carmen, 30 cents after the first year’s service. The recognition of the union was not grant- ed by the company. ‘When the carmen’s settlement was announced the electrical workers con- sented to let the matter of their de- mands go over for the present. ENTOMBED MINERS ALIVE. Exist Since Friday Last Without Food or Water. Johnstown, Pa., May 1.—“Still allve” is the report brought to the surface by the rescuing party that has been trying to reach the seven men who have been imprisoned in the Ber- wind-White mine at Foustwell, Somer- set county, since last Friday by a rush of water that filled all the headings of the mine.

SWETTENHAM CASE CLOSED Definite Refusal to Furnish Additional Correspondence. London, May 1.—In giving a defl- nite, final refusal to furnish the house with further correspondence ex- changed between the ex-governor of Jamaica, Sir Alexander Swettenham, and the colonial office the under sec- retary for the colonies, Mr. Churchill, stated In the house of commons that the only point upon which fault was officially found with S8ir Alexander was in regard to the propriety of his letter to Rear Admiral Davis. The propriety of the governor's action in dispensing with the services of the American naval contingent was never called into question and therefore to set forth the governor’s reasons for so doing would not serve any useful pur- pose, but rather the reverse.
