LANSING, Mich., Feb. 12.—Evening World: Replying to your telegram, referred to this Department by Gov. Bliss, will say that I proved in Michigan registration report for 1894 that number of shildren born to American mothers in Michigan was not sufficient “to maintain native stock, being about the same as birth rate of France. It was also shown that merrtages of Americans to for- eigners showed immediate decline in birth rate to American ratio. “These conditions have probably continued and perhaps become Chief of Division of Vital Statistics, Department of State. ‘The Census Bureau admits that {ts birth statistics are very unsatis! Most of the comparisons are made between the birth rate and the SHOWN BY FIGURES. cline in American Homes, as Told by Pres- ident Roosevelt in His Letter Deploring But the man or woman who deliberately avoids marriage, and has a} to know no passion, and a brain so shallow and selfish | as to dislike having children, is in effect a criminal against the race, and shvuld be an object of contemptuous abhorrence by all healthy people.— President Roosevelt’s denunciation of race suicide las stirred everybody in Washington. to such an extent that to-day statesmen nierested in the subject called upon the Government statisticians | The demand for these figures showing just where marriages * aud births increased or decreased was so great that a half dozen Mrs. Houlihan, an east-side mother of nine children, tells why WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—The average size of families in the United ‘States has decreased steadily in the last fifty years.

GREENE SHIFTS | TENDERLOIN ou (Continued from First Page.) remanded to patrol duty, eight patrolmen assigned to detective work in the Central Office were sent back to uniforms in precincts, a detective-sergeant and @ patrolman were transferred to Brooklyn, three detective-sergeants were brought from Brooklyn to Manhattan and twenty-one patrolmen were taken out of station-houses throughout the city and put into the Central Office. Many of the twenty-one fortunate patrolmen were reduced by Commis- sioner Partridge soon after he took office, and in putting them back Com- missioner Greene took another shot at the methods of his predecessor. The Detective Bureau shake-up was not nearly so extensive as it was generally believed it would be, but it is understood that the end of the work is not in sight. Compared to the headqvarters transferc, those in the Ten- derloin were far more important. James F. McGarry, a patrolman attached to the Adams street station, was dismissed from the force this afternoon upon the recommendation of Deputy Commissioner Hbstein. McGarry had a record of twenty-nine com! |plaints, aggregating 121 days’ fines. CAPT.

Sohmittherger went back to the West Forty-seventh street ata- tion after a sick leave and sent the following letter to Commissioner Greene: : NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 1903, Hon.

They covered the sides of the train with thelr guns, uncoupled the engines, mail and express cars and ran them ghead two miles, The operator at Highview says that he heard two explosions, and It Is ue- lieved the bandits attempted to biow the sate to pieces. The trainmen of the assenger train, after the robbers had left with the engines and cars, hasiened back toward Butte and met an incom- ing freight train, the engine of which was uncoupled to run to Butte and the alarm given. A sheriff and posse and force of po- lice have left for the scene on a train. ‘The ratiway men asked the peni tlary oMcials at Deer Lodge for tl bloodhounds, Sheriff Quinn and posse, when about a mile and a half out of the city, were met by Division Superintendent Boyle, who was a passenger on the train held up.
