NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Superintendent of
Police Murray announced today that at
tempts are being made to revive the So
called knocking OUT matches prevalent
some time ago and that he would not
allow the Mitchell and Corbett contest in
February to take place. The contest be-
tween Peter Maher and Jack Demp-
sey, announced for January, will
also be prevented. Mitchell and
Slavin both called at police head
quarters to see Superintendent Muir
ray, but the latter had gone home. Mitch
ell expressed disappointment at the super
intendent's action, and thought il harsh.
Lumley could not see why the Corbett-
Mitchell fight should not come off. 1t
was to be scientific exhibition, pure and
simple. Jim Corbett held the same view.
He said that Notwithstanding the order
he would insist on lighting, and this to
finish. before some reputable club.

How Women Figure In the 11th Census.

Margaret n. Wishsrd in the Chautauquaa.
In the history of the collection and COM
pilation of facts in almost all departments
OF the present census, there is not an in
quiry or tabulation but there is a woman
IN it. recital of her work would record
an epoch in the history Of women's en-
ployment.
When fully equipped, the census office
numbered in its local force about 5000
clerks; over half of these were women,
some divisions being composed almost en-
tirely of them.
Regarding the work of counting on the
electrical machines, punching and tabulat-
ing the punched cards, the superintendent
OF census said:
If ! were to undertake this work
again, having had the experience I have
had, should have no one but women on
any of these three machines. have
found steadily from the beginning that
women did more work and that
more accurately than men. l Sup
pose their superior deic acy of
touch and alertness of vision
are largely the cause of it, but have also
found women more conscientious. If an
enumerator writes poorly, man is more
apt TO guess at his answers and punch &C
cordingly.
( "A woman, have found, will in the
greater number of cases take pains to de-
cipher poor writing and record the fact
correctly"
The head of the pauperism and crime
division when organizing his force, made
request for only women clerks The re-
quest was, of course, granted. 1t is of
interest to know that the entire census re-
port on the momentous subject of the
growth of these two evils is compiled and
tabulated by women under the direction
of the only two men in that division.
A few women are heads of sections, and
one woman has been until very recently
an assistant chief of division. Three wo-
men have performed valued services as
special agents collecting information con-
cering the Indians and fisheries aside from
those in the farms, homes and mortgages
