CHILD KILLED WHEN SHE BEGS FOR WATER NEW YORK, Oct 4. The battered boay of a fair haired little girl killed by a blow on the head, it is alleged, when she begged for water at night lay in the Harlem morgue today while the police sought Joseph De Puma, a notorious Italian gunman, as her slayer. The child's body was brought to the morgue in a macaroni box by Ralph Pasqua, an undertaker, who told a tale of having bsen coerced at a pistol's point to go to the man's flat and remove the body. In the flat he saw a blonde woman, weeping. When the detectives reached the flat later she was gone, and with her the gunman. The theory advanced was that the little girl had been kidnaped and was being held for ransom. There is no police record, however, of a child" of that description being missing. The undertaker was held today, pending further investigation of the matter. He says the gunman told him that he had hit the child as she asked for a drink of water.

President Wilson went to the golf links early today, according to his Sat urday custom, and when he returned to the white house shortly before noon found many telegrams congratulatlnK him on the signing of the new tariff bill. With the congratulations came in many cases, the sentiment, "now for currency legislation." In this spirit the president took up the task of accomplishing the second big measure of his administration. At the white house and executive quar ters generally there is confidence that -- -'""' ',.

C, Oct. 4 The United States geological survey now has ready for distribu tion the first sheet of the American series of the great international map of the world so long desired. This sheet Ir.ludes part of Maine, New Hampshire, Mas sachusetts, Connecticut, all of Rhode Island and a little of Nova Scotia. It has been referred to as the Boston map because it centers around that city. Thfs sheet is the beginning of the much talked of "Mill.onth Map" which is eventually to include the entire world. It will be made upon the scale of one inch upon the map representing a mil lion inches upon the surface ot the earth hence its name. The task of compiling thi3 great world map is enor mous, but it is being divided be tween the different nat.ons. 3Iap.i Lacks Proportion.

Bach map fills a page and the scale of miles printed Inconspicuously along the side or end makes little or no Impression upon the mind of the student. For instance Colorado has 103,923 square miles and Wisconsin has 56,010. Massachusetts, Connecti cut and Rhode Island together have but 15,555. Yet the last of these, as well as the first, may fill a page upon a map. In Massachusetts, two towns twelve miles apart may have an inch between them upon the map. In the same atlas a map of Colorado is shown having two towns -9 mires apart having an Inch between them also. According to the atlases in common use a scale of an inch may mean from 10 to a 100 miles. France Looks as Big as Texas. The same difficulty exists in regard to maps of other countries. France covers about four-fifths as much -territory as Texas, but few maps now to circulation give that impression to tlieuaerltfmrnewnternatlonai Millionth Map will have every country represented upon the same- scale and an Inch will indicate about sixteen linear miles. This scale is large enough to give the engraver space to delineate villages as well as cities, wagon roads as well as railroads, the water courses, elevations of hills and moun tains and numerous other features. Tiach of these will be intelligible to the most casual student, while many of the features of the ordinary map are not clear to any but a map maker. VnLform Stnndnrd Adopted The proposition for a uniform stan dard world's map was first presented to the International geographic con gress, held in Berne in 1891, by pro fessor Albert Penck. then of the University of Vienna, now of Berlin. The congress approved and appointed a committee of 20. renresentlng 10 na tions, to formulate plans for such an undertaking. The committee reported to the next congress, held in London in 1895. No def.nite action was taken but the committee was at least able to give the idea publicity and to se cure the approbation of several gov ernments. In 1900 the congress met in Berlin and the matter was again taken up. By this time some of the difficulties in the way had become recognized. The English refused to recognize the metric system of measurements, and the French In sisted that the meridian of Paris must be the central meridian. Other na tions held to certain stipulations as to names and details of representa tion. United States Starts Work. In the meantime all of the coun tries were working upon improved maps for different parts of the world and a number of maps were published which were based upon the 1:1,000,000 scale. In 1901. when the geographic congress was held in Washington, great progress had been made. Pro fessor Penck pointed out that there was no good map of North or South America or even the United States, such as a student or traveler desired. He urged this nation to ilo what Great Britain is doing for Africa in preparing a map upon the 1:1,000,000 scale. Part of International Map. As a result, Henry Gannett of the United tates geological survey, pre pared a number of maps designed to be a part of an international map. Mr. Grnnett became so interested that he sent a resolution to the next geo graphic congress asking for the ap pointment of a committee to work out the essential details for undertak ing the preparation of a uniform in ternational map. In 1900 the English g)ernment invited Austro-Hungary, France. Germany, Italy, Japan, Rus sia, Soain, and the United States to send delegates to meet in London for this purpose. All the nations but Ja England and in the United States. The other countries accepted corn pan complied. At this meeting all dif ferences were overcome and a uniform system of work agreed upon.

Kokubu, chief public procurator ot the Korean supreme court Influenced by Confucianism, Korean women in general believe that they are morally bound not to marry a second time. On the other hand many men cannot marry on account of the great expense attached to the ceremony. These two conditions have combined to bring about abductions, which are very often nothing more than elope ments Immediately a woman loses her hus band some Don Juan in needy circum stances is certain to undertake her rescue from widowhood. Accompanied by friends he goes to the woman's house at midnight and bears her away.

These he finds have not been changed by the annexation of the peninsula to Japan. Koreans Marry Early. All classes of Koreans marry very early. Not Infrequently one meets in Korea boys and girls of 14 or 15 al ready married. These boy and girl marriages are arranged by their parents, the young people having no voice in the matter. The decision rests with an astrologer, to whom the parents of a prospective couple go for advice. If the astrologer decides against the pact the matter is dropped. If his advice be favorable, presents are exchanged between the two families and the coming wedding is announced to the actual parties to the alliance. They aie. however, still not allowed to see each other. Girls Kept Secluded. In Korea, girls are kept confined In an "Inner chamber" and are not al lowed to go out They are entirely cut off from society, and consequently are melancholy and unsociable.

Stolen Graves Are Popular. A curious social fact about Korea Is that the most numerous crimes com mitted by Koreans are connected in some way with tombs and burials. This Is the conclusion of M. Kokubu, chief public procurator of the supreme court here. A common occurrence is ror Koreans to bury their dead in ground belonging to other people without first obtaining the consent of the owner. This is sometimes accomplished in se cret sometimes by force, and It is almost invariably done under cover of darkness. , iT - The underlying reason for these or fenccs is the Korean superstition that the prosperity or unhappiness of the surviving members of the family in which death has occurred, as well as the happiness of the departed person. ,jHo ..r,-.-. th election of the bur- ial ground o the dead.

Decided Decrease in BirtK Rate Is Shown by Census Figures in Year. DEATH RATE HEAVY AMONG CHILDREN BERLTX, Germany, Oct. 4. A decided check in the growth of Germany's population, most alarming to the military apostlqs of the empire, is shown liv the statistics for 1911 which have just been published. The surplus of births over deaths fell from 879,000 in 1910 to 740,000 in 1911, a shrinkage in the rate of growth of 139.000, or over 15 percent. This marked retardation in the growth of the nation was due to a reduction in the number of births and an increase in the deatn rate. Despite an Increase -in marriages from 496,396 to 512,819 the total num ber of births for the empire dropped from 1,982,86 in 1910 to 1,927,039 In 1911, while on the other hand, the num ber of deaths rose from 1.103,723 to 1, 187,094, an fncrease of more than 83, 600. This Increase in mortality is at tributed chiefly to the extraordinary heat and drouth, which prevailed dur ing the summer bf 1911 and under which infants suffered with particular severity. Death Rate tVmong Children. Almost a third of the deaths, 359,522. during the year were of children under one year old, some 48,000 babies more than in 1910 succumbing to the heat The death rate for children in their first year rose from 16.2 in 1910 to 19.2 in ,1911. The general death rate too. after a steady decline for a num ber of years, rose to 18.2 per 1000 as compared with 17.1 in 1910. Summing up the statistics In another form the net surplus of births over deaths per thousand of population was only 11.3 In 1011, as against 13.6 in 1910 and 14.9 for 1906. These statistics brlnfe- out also the fact that almost 30 percent of the Illegitimate died before reaching their first birthday anniver sary. DARK IN PRUSSIA IF POLICE SAY IT IS SO Supreme Court of Empire Legallxes Ac tion of Authorities In Declaring Darkness In Daylight. Berlin. "Germany, Oct 1. It is dark in Prussia whenever the police say it is dark. The mere fact that it may hap pen still to be daylight in defiance of police orders. Is of no importance. This is the decree of the Prussian Su preme court in an appeal taken by a truck owner accused of driving after dark without a lantern on his wagon.
