ARE YOU ON The LIST
The Recount Of the City Rap
idly Drawing Towards
Completion.
With it Comes the Usual Cry:
"I've Never Seen an En-
umerator."
Apathy on Part Of Citizens
Responsible for Defects
in the Census.
All Uneounted People Should
Report to the Citizens
Committee.

''The count of st. Paul is practically
completed. Ninety per cent of the
work is DONE" said Special Agent
Wardle last night. Census headquar-
tiers presented an animated appearance
from to 10 p. N. Over one hundred
enumerators turned in their portfolios
and reported that they had COM
pleted their districts. The other
enumerators made reports which
show that the work is nearly completed,
and it will require little more work to
close it up. Mr.. Cullen, of the citizens
committee, said MIR. Wardle told him
that about 80, or nearly half Of the
enumerators have completed their work.
A number of the enumerators seemed
to have an idea that they were expected
to complete their work within the three
days which ended last night. AS a con-
sequence they have sighted their work,
and 1t is known that they have skipped
at least some names. One man appeared
at headquarters last night who
lives in a district said to be COM
pleted, and who had not been
enumerated. 1t is now the duty of all
citizens who have moi been seen by an
enumerator to report the fact to the
citizens committee at the council cham
Der i'll the city bnilding. The people of
st. Paul have shown apathy in the re-
count. 1t is their duty to see that they
are counted. The citizens committee
will not consider it any trouble to
look into the matter = in fact,
they will be glad to inyes-
tigate all cases and report all
persons who are not enumerated. If
people cannot call in person, they should
send letter or card to j. j. McCardy,
secretary of the citizens committee.
The enumeratorS are expected to get
every person in their respective dis
tricts. even if it takes them week to
complete their work: If they could not
do the work thoroughly in three or four
days, Mr.. Wardle will extend his time
until the work is completed.
The special agent and his assistants
were busy all last evening in repeating
instructions to enumeratorS and an
swering Inquiries. MI. Wardle wants
each man to do his work thoroughly be-
fore turning in his portfolio, and the
citizens committee will keep an eye on
the work of the enumerat0rS, and re-
port any failure to do their work prop
erIy. An enumerator reported that one
German woman refused to answer
until he called in a policeman. The same
enumeration had some trouble among
the Polanders. who would not let him
go near their homes. Mr.. Wardle will
send an interpreter to these people,
who will tell them they must offer no
further resistance. and must answer
the questions to be asked. The follow
ing was wired from Washington yester-
day:
Special Agent Wardle, who Is in charge of
Pa has 81 thg t census E
that the enumerator whose district includes
the building in which the Pioneer Press is
located has completed his work. His sched-
ules show that not a person was returned
from that building One hundred and ten
persons were alleged to have been found in
the building on the first enumeration.
