Representatives Hay. Rixey, otey, and
Quaries for the Democrats, and Commit
teemen Bowdin and Park Agnew for the
Republicans. No agreement as to the dis

reached, but they will probably agree to-
day and the names of the supervisors
may be recommended to Director Merriam
at once.
Nothing has been herd from the Mary
land delegation as to the appointment of
supervisors for that State. Maryland will
have four. who viii all be selected by the

CENSUS EXAMINATIONS.
Many Hard Questions and Few Cor
rect Answers


The first examinations OF applicants for
positions in the Census Bureau were held
yesterday in the Maltby Building, corner
New Jersey Avenue and B Streets north
west Twenty-three out Of the twenty four
applicants who had been notified to appear
were on hand at the appointed hour; three
of these only were men.
Assistant Director Wines was in charge.
and Examiner Powell asked the questions
The applicants were informed at the cut
set by Mr.. Wines that IL they passed the
examination they would not be sure OF
appointment, and also thst they would
receive no special preferment because this
was the first examination held. AS soon
as the questions began to come however
The applicants began 10 see their Govern
ment positions fade rapidly.
The mathematical examination came
first. and was the hardest of all to a ma
io-ity CT the applicants. One young lady
tainted at the third question, and many
OF the others were in high state of ner-
vous strain before the day was done.
Many of the applicants showed a dense
ignorance about decimsls and fractions,
and the papers on these questions showed
very few correct answers In the after
noon geography was taken up first. history
followed, and under the head of general
information many more puzzling. ques-
tlons were asked. The writing of a letter
of at least eco words was required. after
which q concise answer TO the same was
requested. The next examination will be
held on Friday at the same place.

It was late that night when residents OF

nittee of the Universal Postal Congress,
which was in session in this city in 1897.
In that position he was brought in close
contact with the delegates from all over
the world. He was recognized as man
CT sterling qualities and thoroughly hon
orable. He is known to have received
invitations from the foreign postal dele
gates TO visit their countries at any time
with the assurance that he would receive
every courtesy that might possibly be af-
forded him. In fact DR.. Davis was a man
much sought after and highly thought Of.
1t appears that he was not well known
at the Metropolitan Club. however. num-
bering few friends among the members.
In spite CT that, though. he succeeded in
having bills for purchases paid by the
club. something which is not generally toll
Grated. 1t was stated at the club last
night that such a thing was positively
forbidden.
At the Stntionhouse.
Mr.. Davis. when seen at the station
house last night by Times reporter, al
first refused 70 discuss the situation. He
evinced not the slightest concern about
his arrest, and sat calmly debating letters
TO his secretary. When closely questioned
however. he finally admitted having ut
tered the checks mentioned above, but ex-
pressed the firm opinion that all matters
would be properly adjusted. He claimed
that his arrest was an outrage and stated
that he was man Of more power than the
police were aware of. He was of the opin-
ion that the police had acted unjustly to-
ward him, and stated that he felt there
was some particular animus impelling
them which did not appear on the sur
face.
In speaking of his past, Mr.. Davis said:
Look who l am. have the most select.
the most powerful, and the most prominent
clientele of any man in the United States
today. ! number among my friends the
President, all the members OF the Cabinet.
and most OF the nations most prominent
officials. / can go before any sovereign OF
Europe and be entertained as a prince
You wonder that a man OF my standing
should evince such sangfroid in this pre-
dlcament. That is nothing. Consider thc
incongruity of the situation and you will
readily appreciate my demeenor. l do not
wear my nerves on my coat sleeve and
shall not be ratified by what is said or done
against me. ! am confident that every
thing will come out all right
DR.. Davis was allowed to send messages
to several members of the Metropolitan
Club last night and to prominent officials.
He appeared greatly surprised when his
messenger returned and stated that
OF the gentlemen was at home. He tugged
at his small gray Van Dyke beard and ap-
peared rather uneasy for an instant, hat
recalling that The Times reporter was
still present resumed his cold -biooded,
matter-cf-fact demeancr and remarked
that ii would be all right and they would
undoubtedly answer when they returned
and received his messages. DR.. Davis will
probably be arraigned in court this morn
ing.
At late hour last night Dr. Davis was
released On $500 bond. The affidavit of
the clerk OF the court simply states that
a bond has been deposited which is salts
factory. but does not divulge the name of
the bondsman.

Results of "A Detective Mixing With
q Gang of Tramps

New York, May 3.-Detectiye Bumstead. >.
Of police headquarters. Jersey City. is
thinking of writing book on The Life
Of Hobo" For two days and two nights
he mingled with gang of tramps who
made their rendezvous near Point Of Rocks
in Jersey City, where the Pennsylvania
and Lehigh Valley railroads intersect His
object was to detect. if possible, who had
been stripping cars on both roads of brass
journals and the brake connections
This system of petty thievery has caused
the railroad companies much expense and
annoyance. 1t is estimated that the dam
age done by the removal of the brass jour
nails amounts to several thousand dollars
each year. Attached to the sir-brake con-
nections is piece of copper that sells for
old junk at cents a pound The jour
mars sell for 81 apiece. There are several
Junkmen in Jersey City who make a busi-
ness of buying stolen property, but some
how they always manage to escape arrest
or conviction.
1t isn't so much the loss that the railroad
officials complain of. but they say that the
stripping CT the cars of the necessary me-
chanical attachments endangers the lives
of passengers
Chief of Police Murphy offered to assist
the railroad people in running down the
miscreants and Detective Bumstead VOL
unteered to take the assignment and dis
guised himself as a tramp His vigil was
rewarded yesterday morning. but he was
surprised at the discovery. 1t was not the
tramps. as had been suspected. who were
causing the railroads so much annoyance
The thieves proved to be boys whose homes
are in the neighborhood of the railroad
yards at Waldo Avenue
Detective Bumstead while chatting with
some of his new acquaintances, saw Thon-
as Delmato aged fourteen years. and JOS
eph Smith, aged twelve, steal up to car
and cut away the connections of three air
brakes. He promptly arrested them. The
boys admitted they had been doing that
kind OF work some time. They gave the
names of the junkmen to whom they sold
the property, and the police expect to have
them in custody today.
Detective Bumstead was surprised at the
number of tramps who make the railroad
yards camping ground. The stories he
heard convinced him that the city would
be better off without the hoboes. and he
reported his suspicious to Chief Murphy
The result was that a roundup OF tramps
was decided upon
dozen detectives and policemen made a
descent on the gang. and twenty Weary
Willies were corraled. The tramps made n
break when they saw the officers approach
ing, but there was no chance to escape,
as the camp was surrounded.
Police Justice Nevin committed them to
