Dear Sir-Yours of the 28th ult. to hand
and contents noted. In reply to your
questions I would state:
"F'irst-Thomas e. Burke is eligible to
compete in all amateur contests, at pres
ent being registered amateur and recog-
nized as an amateur by the A A. U.
'Second-Thomas E. Burke's status as
an amateur has never been questioned Of
ficially. The men who are to represent
the Harvard and Yale team in England
are all amateurs, according to the rules of
the Amateur Athletic Union of the United
States. Every man from Harvard and
Yale who sailed from here to compete in
England would have his entry accepted
without >rotest at the amateur track and
field championships of America.

BURKE IS ALL RIGHT.
Secretary suIIvan's Letter Will Settle
the Question for Good.

There was something in the report con-
corning the eligibility of Tom Burke com
peting in England after all. The English
athletes were not content that Burke is a
duly qualified amateur and wrote to Jas
E. Sullivan of New York, secretary of the
A. A. U. The reply, which is now on its
way across the water to the secretary of
the English A. A. A., ought to settle the
matter once for all. The correspondence
is as follows:

-. LUHUOII, JuHb %, 1913.
Dear Sir-May I ask you to answer in
closed questions with as little delay as
possible: Is T. Burke, who may compete
for Harvard and Yale against Oxford and
Cambridge, at present an amateur accord
ing to the A. A. U. of America laws? Has
his status as an amateur ever been called
in question officially? Are the men to
represent the Harvard and Yale team all
amateurs according to the A. A. u. rules

ALLEGED DERELICTION.
Officers Fail to Report Arrest of a
Suspect.

Charles H. Butler. colored, was taken into
custody early yesterday afternoon on sus-
picion of having criminal knowledge of the
death of the party whose remains were
found Thursday in the vault Of Riders
Castle. 1t is stated no word concerning the
arrest was sent to headquarters until $40
o'clock last evening, and then only after
Major Sylvester had been Informed of the
matter through other sources and ordered
report from the officer in charge of the
station.
1t is understood the superintendent has
taken steps to learn exactly why the news
of the apprehension was not at once COM
municated to headquarters, and that he will
recommend dismissal of the man respons-
ible for the dereliction should the disclos-
ures justify that action.
A report was circulated today at police
headquarters that Butler was placed I'M
der arrest upon the suggestion of an out
side party and not because of any belief on
the part of the authorities that Butler
knew anything of the under investiga-
ton, but this, Maj. Sylvester said, was un-
true; that, as reported to him, Butler was
taken into custody at the suggestion of
one of the detectives.

TAKING THE CENSUS,
Assistant Director Wines Gives De.
tails of the Work.


The Congregational Church held large
and enthusiastic audience last night. It
was due to the advertised lecture of the
assistant director Of the census, Mr.. F. r.
Wines, on How the Census is Taken" The
lecture was given under the auspices OF
the National Geographic Society.
Mr. Wines told in an interesting manner
the procedure OF taking the census Of the
United States: He made It appear SIM
pie matter, and the audience had no trouble
following him as he described, step by step,
the system of determining the population
OF the country. The immense proportions
or the work, its far-reaching influence and
ITS incalculable benefit to mankind were
IuHy explained The speaker dwelt upon
the necessity for a corps Of competent
clerks, and assured his hearers that it was
the earnest desire and the intention OF
those Immediately charged with the taking
or the census to have such a force. 1t
was not sufficient for a member Of Con-
gress to simply recommend a clerk. The
employe must show by his work his COM
potency or else be dismissed. Clerks in the
prime of life, active and energetic, were
needed. Promotions would be made strict
ly upon merit
The speaker referred to the numerous
applications on file and explained how some
OF them were from young school girls. 1t
would be contrary to law to appoint them,
he said, as there was law in the District
against cruelty to children. Mr.. Wines
then told of the need of the bureau for a
suitable building, and said there was not a
place suitable in the city. Capitalists were
now negotiating for the erection of a build
ing, which he described as being accord
already been furnished the readers of The
