150,000 EXPECTED AT LEGION CONFAB SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.—Mobilization of California's war heroes—this time to attend the national convention of American Legion here Oct. 15-19, has begun. Not a train comes into San Francisco but bears its delegation of Legionnaires from various parts of California. Of the 150,000 visitors expected here during the big conclave, at least 60,000 will be Californians. They will come by auto, train and boat. First detachments are arriving to attend the 91st Wild War divisional reunion Saturday and Sunday. The steamer Yale will leave Los Angeles Friday night with 155 former Wild Westerners who will descend on San Francisco the following morning. A banquet seating 4000 is on the reunion schedule for Saturday night, while a public reception and get-to-go gathers of the 24 regimental units of the famous division will be held Sunday. Then on Monday will open the Legion convention proper, which will be paralleled by the "40 and $" and American Legion auxiliary conclaves and by 50 or more divisional, battalion and regimental reunions in which Californians will meet their former "buddies." California auto caravans will be on the way before the end of the week. Parking space for 500 machines has been provided at Fort Mason, with bake ovens and other open-air equipment. Men of various walks of life will join the Pacific fleet and Legionnaires in making merry. Luther Burbank will leave his plants and flowers on his experimental farm near Santa Rosa to be a distinguished guest of the convention. Athletes, some of the best in the state, will take part in the Legion sports program. Fliers from San Diego will reinforce those at Crissy Field, as well as others from the navy and marines, in making "air day" Oct. 17, a success.

Maas, New York millionaire is in a hospital here, bullets in his abdomen and shoulder. He is in a critical condition. Mrs. Ida M.

VERMONT SUFFERS LOWEST BIRTH RATE WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The department of commerce announces that provisional birth figures for the first three months of 1923 indicate slightly lower birth rates than for the corresponding three months of 1922. For the states compared the birth rate for the first three months was 22.4 in 1923 against 23.6 in 1922. The highest birth rate for the three months is shown for North Carolina (27.6) and the lowest for Vermont (15.8). DEATH RATE UP IN PAST QUARTER WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The department of commerce announces that provisional figures for the first three months of 1923 show higher death rates than for the corresponding quarter of 1922. For the states compared, the death rate for the three months was 15.3 in 1923, against 13.9 for the first three months of 1922. Owing to differences in the sex and age distribution of the populations, the crude death rates of states may not be comparable. Better comparisons, however, can be made if adjusted rates based on a standard population are used. If the ratios of the crude rates to the adjusted rates for 1922 be applied to the 1923 quarterly rates, the poorest showing for the first quarter of 1923 appears for Maryland, with an adjusted rate of 18.8, and the best showing appears for Montana, with a rate of 19.1.

Maas, New York millionaire is in a hospital here, bullets in his abdomen and shoulder. He is in a critical condition. Mrs. Ida M. Leslie, a widow, reported to have been on the stage, at whose home he was wounded, told authorities today "three strange men" suddenly appeared out of the semi-darkness, at her home at Ledge Road, South Beach, Conn., just night, shooting down Maas without warning. Her story differed from that given police by Maas. As a result, Prosecuting Attorney White today ordered an investigation into the facts of the shooting. "I am engaged to marry Mr. Maas," the widow, an exceptionally attractive woman of thirty, told police. He came up from New York, where he has been living at the Ansonia Hotel, to visit me... I had stepped out of my door to take my two dogs for a walk, when three men suddenly appeared and grappled with me. Maas ran out of the house. They opened fire and ran, jumped into an automobile which stood waiting and escaped." Maas had just arrived at the widow's home and was just walking up the steps, he told police. "I heard screams inside and three men appeared from inside the house. One pulled a revolver and fired at me. I went down with the first shot. That is all I know." Maas is vice president of the Maas and Waldstein Co., chemists.
