To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
/ note with sorrow that you have once
more given circulation to Mr.. Markham's
poem, The Man with the Hoe" As the
nan with the hoe put that instrument aside
this year to plant and cultivate 1900. 0oo,o 600
bushels of corn in Kansas and Nebraska
alone the poem loses its point as a COM
mentary on life and sinks 10 the level of a
Populist tract. The American poet who
takes for his text the poverty and degrade
ton of the French ~peasantry should, for the
sadie of his own society. state clearly that
his intention was not TO portray the farmer
type of his own land. The Man with the
Hoe" paints a hideous and brutal picture,
and as an American poem II Is a gross mis-
representation, false In art because false In
fact. Every farmer in the United States Is
a sufficient refutation of It.

THE TWELFTH CENSUS.
Efforts of the bureau to Collect Accu-
rate Mortality Statistics.

WASHINGTON, Oct. physicians and

necessarily OF limited scope, to secure the
adoption Of a uniform certificate for the re-
turn of deaths and looking toward the
establishment Of a common national system
Of collection of vital statistics for the pur-
pose. primarily, of the census tables and
publications.
Correspondence has been had by the chief
statistician, Mr.. William A. King, with the
officers in charge of mortality registration
in the States employing such a system. and
in the cities having a population of 5000
and more at the last census which also col
lect and register death returns. Complete
and accurate information of the different
methods in vogue has been obtained. and

the census point of view. in the form of
official returns.
Having no power to compel cooperative
which to carry out the whole project, never
theless the census office undertook to secure
the modification or amplification of the
death certificates so as to have them in
clude the items necessary to obtain census
data. A model return form was prepared
and submitted, with explanatory CORE
spondence, TO each registration Office or Of
ficer controlling the preparation Of the State
or local forms. The result has been more
important and gratifying than even the CEN
sus office expected. as not only have the
items in the specimen form been very gen.
orally adopted, but the registration officers
have abolished many practically obsolete
local variations in their certificates, and
the latter have been made to conform to
one standard more nearly than ever before.
The promptness and willingness displayed
by the State and local officers In complying
with the request OF the director has been
surprising as well as gratifying. The bene-
fit that will result to the census office and
10 science from tfis first step toward the
goal of national uniformity is incaiculable
but it will be seen readily that the study
OF the natural law of the growth OF the
population Is made easier and more certain.
The director of the census confidently ex-
poets that physicians everywhere will APP
preciate the desirability Of the new order
of things. and that they will earnestly and
accurately cooperate In securing prompt
and accurate mortality returns of the uni
form character required by Congress and
sought for by statisticians. He recognizes
the fact that failure on the part Of physi-
clans to give vitality to the ommond stand
ard By carefully reporting the items that
may be new to their certificate will be fatal

HALLIDAY ACQUITTED.
Testimony Went to Prove That
He Only Acted in
Self Defense.

The trial of Halladay for manslaughter
which occupied the entire time of the
General Sessions Court yesterday, re-
suited in the acquittal of the defendant
Halliday had beeen indicted for man
slaughter for causing the death of James
Holden, who was eighty-six years old.
Halliday, with his family, occupied
apartments in Holden's house, No. 245
Fifth street, and he fell behind in his
rent. Holden served him with three
days notice to vacate the premises, and
Halliday, with money borrowed from
Thomas H. Montgomery, secured other
quarters and prepared to move.
On March %, Holden went to the c. F.
Adams Companys store, No. 423 Grove
street, where Halliday was employed,
and demanded payment of his rent. The
old man became very abusive and Halla-
day elected him from the store. Holden
fell on the sidewalk and received injuries
from which he died on April r.

TO CHARGE FOR MASS.
Father Brady VIII Enforce the
Rule at Ten O'Clock Service.

The Rev Father Brady, of ST. Mary's
Roman Catholic Church, on Second
street, has decided to revive the old Gus
tom of assessing the worshippers who at
tend the ten O'Clock mass on Sundays
ten cents each. He has decided upon this
course in consequence of the fact that
the church has been overcrowded at this
mass while the other masses have been
poorly attended. This condition of affairs
has existed for some time and from time
to time the clergymen have reminded the
parishioners that it would be advisable to
attend other masses and relieve the press
ure at the ten O. clock service
o'clock service that large numbers were
obliged to stand on the steps, not being
able to get into the building. The congre-
cation did not heed Father Brady's aa-
vice, and last Sunday the priest made
public announcement of his determination
to enforce the old rule regarding the
assessment which has long been dead
letter, not having been rigidly enforced.
This rule will go into effect next SUM-
day.
1t is said by many that the large at
tendance at the ten o'clock mass is due
to the fact that it is considerably shorter
than the other masses. The Rev. Father
Smith, when seen this morning, said:-
'The only difference in the length of the
masses is that the communion is not
administered at this mass.

THIRTEENTH ST. FIGHT.
Testimony in the Case Against
the City to Be Resumed
Tomorrow.

The fight to obtain possession of the
eastern end of Thirteenth street begun
by the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad Company against the mu-
nicipality of Jersey City, was to have
been resumed this afternoon in the offices
of Messrs. McGee, Bedle and McGee,
where testimony was taken before Ad-
visory Master Walter Collins, but was
postponed until tomorrow.
In March last the battle was begun by
the action of the Street and Water Com
missioners in instructing John A. Near
thur of the Jersey City Electric Com
pany to erect poles for electric lights at
the foot of Thirteenth street, the COM
pany having contract to supply the
city with electric light.
When the company's men started to
put in the poles the Railroad Company
objected, saying that it had exclusive
control of that section of the street. In
fact, the claim was that it was railroad
property. To stop the electric light COM
panys operations the railroad company
secured a temporary restraining order
from the Court of Chancery and began
a suit for injunction against the city.
Work was, of course, stopped pending
the issue of the suit, which means the
settlement of the claim that the railroad
company owns that part of the street.
Testimony was ordered to be taken and
two weeks ago, before Mr.. Collins, the
evidence was begun. Mr.. Flavel MCGEE
represents the railroad company and Cor
poration Counsel Allan L. McDermott the

HELD ON A CHARGE OF LARCENY.
Tiso Batphelis, Late of the Fourth
Volunteers Accused by Mrs. Henzie

Tiso Batphelis, an Austrian, who was
recently a member of the Fourth New
Jersey Volunteers, and who resides with
his sister at No. 21 Gator avenue. Green
vile. was held for the Grand Jury on
two charges of breaking, entering and
larceny when arragned before Justice.
Potts in the Oakland avenue court this
morning. Batphelis was arrested shortly
after midnight by Detective Frank Ben
nett. of the Ocean avenue station, who
had been watching for him since early
in the afternoon.
Mrs Eliza Henze who lives in the
same house where the prisoner resided.
complained to the police of Greenville
yesterday that her apartments were
broken into during the morning, while
she was at a funeral. and about $12 worth
of jewelry was taken. She also said that
on January II her house was broken into
and rings and other trinkets, amounting
to $50, were stolen.
She was asked why she did not COM
plain to the police when the first robbery
was committed. and she replied that she
did not think it was worth while. Ben
nett investigated and found that the vic
TINS apartments, which are on the
ground floor, were entered by rear Win
dow, the catch having been demolished;
Suspicion was directed to BatpheliS and
when arrested last night he admitted
having stolen the jewelry. The prisoner,
does not look like a professional crook,
and he says these were the only offenses
he committed.
