The death rate based upon this number of deaths is 11.7 per 1.000 population. This rate is lower than in any other year on record with the one tc-ception of 1927 when a rat of 11.4 was recorded.

Except for the high! mortality in January as a result of the influenza epidemic, the rate of 1929 would have set a new low record. I New low records were set in 1929 in the death rates for typhoid fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis and diarrheal disease of infants. On the other hand new high records were reached by cancer, heart disease, diabetes and automobile accidents. The final 1929 death rate from ty- phoid fever will be only slightly below the low rermd of 2 0 npr inOOftn nr.nn- latinn in 1128. The rmmlvr nf rt en.t.hs from this cause in 1928 was 194.

Diphtheria mortality has been low tim vp'shH it riMth to be about 7.0 as compared with a pVevious low record of 8.3 in 1926. Diarrhea and enteritis under age 2 1 caused fewer than 200 deaths in The previous low record was 2 130 aeaths in 1928 with a rate cf 21.6 per ico.GGO population. The death rate from scarlet fever is also lower than in any recent year, allhmmh not 'as lew as the record set in 1918 The preliminary 'death rate frcm cancer for 1923 is 99.5 per 100,000 as compared with 98.5 in 1928. For diabetes the preliminary rate is 22.0 as compared with a rate of 21.8 in 1928.

The heart disease rate for 1928 will be more than 230 as compared with a high record of 228.6 in 1928.

Jan. 11 The Republican party of the Senate presented a united front for organization purposes only today when a party caucus unanimously adopted the peace treaty, ending a war over committee assign- ments.

The nrincioal feature of the treaty was tne assignment 01 two insurgents to tne poweniu benate nnance com mittee, giving the Democratic-insur gent coalition control over the drafting cf all tax. tariff and revenue legis-i lation. This marked the first time since the last days of the Wilson ad-I ministration that control of this com-! mittee was placed in the hands of a group unfriendly to the administration, Within an hour, the Senate approved the caucus slate by unanimous con-j sent. The insurgents, having once threatened to fight the slate on the of the Senate, finally accepted not without a bit of verbal war- lare. Senator Howell of Nebraska after permitting its adoption, criticized the action cf administration leaders in denying Senator McMastcr of South Dakota, a seat on the interstate commerce committee.
