!. TAKING THE CENSUS.
Director Merriam Has Adopted .
Scheme Which Is Outlined,

Scheme Which Is Outlined.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE following
scheme for the division of the country
into supervisors districts, for the purpose
OF taking the census, submitted by Mr.
Henry Gannett, geographer Of the CEN
sus, has been adopted by Director Mer-
riam:
The census act provides that the whole
number OF supervisors districts shall not
exceed 300, and that wherever practicable
the boundaries of these. districts shall
conform to those of the congressional dis
tr1cts. The number Of congressional dis
tricts is 357, to which must be added
eight territorial districts, including one
for Hawaii and two for Alaska. The
number of districts to be saved by con-
solidation Is therefore sixty-five In the
interest of the enumeration it has been
deemed advisable to effect such consoli-
dations where the population is denser
than the average, rather than in sparse
ly settled regions
The following IS the number of dis
tricts allotted to each state and terri
tory: Alabama. s; Alaska, 2; Arizona, 1:
arkansas, 5; California, G.; Colorado, 2;
Hawaii. 1; Illinois, 1e; Indiana, lS; Indian
territory, 1; Iowa, IL; Kansas, Z: Ken

CnOScn PreS1dent the COm pany.
CHICAGO, April 7-E. H. Hartman,
OF New York, was today elected presi-
dent of the Chicago & Alton railroad

understood that Mr.. Chappell will be re-
elected as vice president and general
manager 1t is said that Mr. Hartman
will dictate the policy of the company
while Mr.. Chappel, will operate the
road.
The directors have not yet completed
their plans for the reorganization of the

doing SO. One Of the first matters call
ing for their attention will be the ne

SLUMP IN TRUST SHARES.
Exciting Scenes Witnessed on the
Floor of the Stock Exchange


Floor of the Stock EXCHANGE
NEW YORK, April 7.-Today's sensa-
tional stock market was remarkable for
the great declines that took place in
practically all the specialties. Losses of
Importance remained at the end of the
day, although the closing was strong.
The potential influence behind today s
plunge in prices was the money market,
where discrimination was exercised
against the Industrial securities. In
ability of some large firms to renew loans
on those shares as collateral made 1t nee
eSsary to sacrifice stocks on the best
prices obtainable. Call rates for money
ranged from to Is per cent, but left
on at the lower figure. The forced sales
my many commission houses lent renew
ed courage to the bears, who constantly
found new spots of weakness. A num-
bef of money-lenders on the floor of the
exchange refused to pay any attention
to the bids made by some brokers, who
were known to be trading heavily in the
industrials. The calling in of some loans
also helped to arouse alarm, and induc-
ed general selling.
The weakness of many standard stocks
and bonds was due to no other cause
ascertainable except the selling of them
by weak holders to protect securities of
less certain value or to secure funds to
buy the shares which had been most de-
pressed, In hope of profit on the rebound.
London, which of late has been an un-
important factor in the declines, bought
upwards of $1,000 shares on the decline
here.
BULLS NOT DISCOURAGED.
While the so-called bull leaders appear
ed apathetic on the downward rush Of
quotations, heavy scale buying appeared,
carrying with 1t the conviction that the
buyers did not believe the violence of
the bear movement could last. This sup
port gradually checked the fierce on
slught on prices, and recoveries ensued.
Much thought was given to the probable
aspect of tomorrow's bank statement.
The rally was found In the Offering of
several millions in the loan crowd by
an interest lately very prominent among
the bull leaders. When prices were not
far from the lowest a number of COM
mission houses freely advised purchases
where the buyer could take the securi-
ties outright or on very substantial mar
gins. Buying of this character had much
to do with checking the rush to sell.
Many interests which had been ont of
the street for a long time thought the
time opportune to repurchase, as 1t ap-
peared to be one of the bargain days
winch have developed at various times of
recent years. This buying gave a con-
siderable momentum to the afternoon
rally, which embraced everything on the
list, and resulted in reducing the net
losses to very small proportions in some
cases, and In establishing slight advances
in others.
An idea of the wide movements which
occurred is given by the fact that. all
though Brooklyn Transit broke 15sz points
the net loss on the day was only 5A points

department since the new ships were pro-
vided for urging the merits of various
names The president and Secretary
Long enjoyed the goodnatured rivalry,
and in making the final determination
consideration was given, not only to the
urgency of the influence brought to bear,
but also to the several sections Of the
country. Pennsylvania petitioned- through
Gov Stone, Senators Quay and Penrose,
and the entire delegation in the house of
Representatives. Georgia did not petition
the navy department. and it is believed
the choice of a Southern state was due
to a desire by the president to compli-
ment those with whom he visited on his
recent Southern trip.
Senator Elkins and congressional
delegation was most active for West Vir-
sinia; Representative Mercer made 1t his
business to besiege the navy department
with petitions for Nebraska. The choice
of California also seems to be personal
compliment without the same effort
shown in other states. The same rivalry
was shown among the cities, the mayors,
city councils, chambers of commerce, ETC..

Trust Securities shown In a Sig

Mixed Loans.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Bradstreets re-
view of the New York stock market to-
morrow fill say: The hardening of the
money market prior to April l failed to
arrest the bull movement In stocks, but
this week the continuance of high rates
for call loans, together with an increased
discrimination by the banks and other
lenders against industrial stocks have
been followed by liquidation and general
declines in prices. The impression of the
street, in regard to money has been that
more plentiful supplies and easier rates
would be seen this week. This was some
what unreasonable, as whatever funds are
taken to the interior for the April settle
ments are slow to drift back to the finan-
cial centers. On the other hand the clos
ing up of large Industrial deals results in
tying up large sums temporarily, the
money market being thus influenced dur
ing the last few days by the operations
of the syndicate in charge of the Ameri-
can Smelling company, while at the be-
ginning of next week, $4,000, 900 is to be
paid into a trust company by the SUBJ
scribers to the Alton syndicate. Such
operations restrict supplies and result in
the shifting of loans and of time money
significantly easy at 4 per cent.
The call loan rate on Wall street all
the week has been per cent. Some quo
tations as low as per cent were made,
but on the other hand the balance on the
stock exchange has touched Is per cent
1t is still the general impression that
easier money for speculative purposes will
return, but the market Is considerably ex-
ercised about the new industrial stocks
and the attitude of money lenders to
them. In spite of the conservative feel
ing about such securities the speculation
In them has been increasing, large
amounts being held on margin. From the
beginning of the movement banks have
shown repugnance to the new indus
trials as collateral, even when they con-
stitute only a small proportion of the Sc
curities.
> The tightness of money this week
seemed to cause increased reflections Of
industrials in mixed loans and has rem
dered 1t more difficult for brokerage
houses to carry such securities This led
to considerable liquidation in industriaIs,
the declines in that quarter unsettling the
rest of the list, and on Friday the appre-
hensive feeling of the street seemed to
culminate in an outpour of long stocks
and serious declines throughout the list
Railroad shares, however, regained
better tone, and, more liberal supplies of
money coming into the market there was
general rally in the afternoon.
