INDUSTRIAL CENSUS.
Supervisor Weastell Has
More Faith in Manufac-
turers Than Have
His Men.

Census Supervisor John II. Weastell viii
begin the struggle with the Industrial
census enumeration next Monday. The fol-
lowing special enumerators were appoint-
ed esterday:-From Jersey City-John
Graham. John Bumstead, James A.
Leather, John T. Feindel, John A. Rob
ertson; from Bayonne-George s. Bogarts
from Hoboken-William Ndahon: from
East Newark-Henry Boeger. These ap-
pointees will be assigned to districts be-
fore Monday
Following are the districts to be enum-
erated:-Guttenberg, Town of Union, Ho-
boken. Jersey City, Bayonne, Harrison.
I<earny and West Eoboken. The Industrial
enumeration has already been completed
by the population enumeratoFs in Wee
hawken, East Newark, Secaucus, North
Bergen and West New York. The sched-
ules and Instructions for this branch OF
the work have been received from Wash
ington and they win be distributed this
week. There are one hundred and ten
questions to he asked and answered, cov-
ering about every conceivable point relat-
ing to business. Only producing enter
prises are TO be enumerated; the small
shop keeper will alone escape being re-
corded by Uncle Sam.
Mr. Weastel1 does not anticipate any
difficulty in obtaining this informatiS2
but is rather inclined to think that th6
task will be easy. With the United States
behind him, he feels that the work must
proceed speedily and smoothly, as no one
would care to question the Governments

not as sanguine as Mr. Weastell, end are
looking forward to many stumbling
blocks and much trouble which they feel
will surely be encountered before their
labor is completed They even expect to
meet with people who will positively re-
fuse to answer their questions, and they
are wondering what the Government will
do in such cases.
Industrial schedules have been sent from
Washington to many of the large manu-
featuring establishments in this section as
sort Of forerunner to prepare the own
ers for what was coming. AS yet the sue
cess Of this plan is problematical.
One of the officers of a large mill in
this section is said to have thrown the
schedule into the waste basket without
taking the trouble to read more than the
heading. If this feeling prevails generally
the special agent will know that he IS
working all the time and at the end of
days labor viii feel that he has not in the
least defrauded the Government

one hundred questions on each schedule
this seems whole lot to be expected and
is probably about 100 per cent. more than
will be realized.

asking them to appoint or select their
delegates. A call win also be issued, set
ting forth the good things done by the
present administration and telling the peo-
pie that the record of the President is
platform enough therefore, they will not
wait for the Kansas City convention of
the Democratic party to issue a challenge
Some discussion took place over the adj
visibility of having parade in this city
on the day of the convention Action on
this was deferred until the next meeting.
On the question of banquet, the mem
bers were somewhat at sea. There is
some doubt as to just where the speak
ers can be secured. If the speakers come
in the afternoon a banquet viii be held in
the evening. but if they come at night
this part of the big affair will have to be
done away with.
Robert Carey, of the committee on
speakers, said that there was no doubt of
the presence of Governor Roosevelt of
New York. Other equally prominent men
will be secured
Committees on printing, badges, trans
portation, hotels, information and recep-
ton will be appointed from the sub-eom-
mittee after conference with the various
clubs as to who will serve. Three men
from each club in the county are wanted
on the reception committee and to act as
ushers. Mr.. Carey explained that rooms
were to be provided for the various dele
cations, in which they may caucus prev
ious to the convention. The State League
attends to credentials, tickets and other
very important matters.
Chairman Meyer spoke Of the coming
national convention of the League Of
Clubs to be held in st. Paul, MINI. from
July II to 49, He said it would be nice If
New Jersey could arrange to send big
delegation, as New York was doing, and
that there was anywhere from twenty-five
to fifty thousand dollars laid away for
the entertainment of the guests and dele
gates. There are four delegates to each
Congressional district and ten at large
New Jersey has forty-two delegates.

BOONS TO BURN.
Plenty Of Talk at the Meet
ing Of the Hudson County
League OF Clubs.

Talk is cheap and probably that is the
reason the members of the subcommittee
of the Hudson County League of Repub-
lican Clubs, which met last night in Lin
coin Hall, did so much of it. They dis
seminated enough wind to initiate several
good sized booms. The members gathered
to discuss plans for the State convention
of the State League of Clubs, to be held
in Columbia Hall, Greenville, on Septem-
Der 49, Temporary Chairman Frank An
gel was made permanent presiding officer
and Theodore H. EMS the permanent Sec
retary.
Every conceivable plan for the enter
tainment of the delegates was discussed
at length, and the loquacious Mr.. Monroe
of the Fremont Club, as usual, tok up
most of the time.
This State convention is being doomed
as the greatest thing that Jersey City has
ever had Politicians and speakers of ma
tional reputation are promised as a treat
to the crowd.
President Meyer of the State League of
Clubs was present to inform the sub-com-
mittee just what was expected of it. He
told of the State Leagues numerous plans
for the carrying out of many important
details, and said a large gathering from
all over the State was looked for.
You just look after the arrangements
for entertaining the boys" said he, land
we fellows on the State Committee will
see that the boys get here
Then a general discussion took place as
to the number of delegates likely to be
present. Each club of the State League is
allowed five and the president. Figuring
on five hundred clubs in the State, there
will be about 5000 present, with room for
a thousand more in the spacious hall.
About seven hundred clubs were repre-
sented at Asbury Park four years ago.
Now the duties that devolve upon the
County League of Clubs are these:-The
members are to see that the hall is prop
erly decorated, provisions made for the
feeding of the delegates, signs placed in
the hall, designating the place for each
county delegation and divers committees
appointed TO see to the various branches
of a thousand and one other details of
more or less Importance.
The State League is to meet In the
course of the next ten days. and notify
every club in the State of the convention,

Douglas, Ga, Jan. 19.-Mr. Joe Newbern,
a farmer living seven miles out, died yes
terday very suddenly while sitting in a
chair. About five days ago he was strick-
en- with paralysis of the tongue and spi-
nal column, but for the past two days was
thought to be rapidly recovering, and ex-
pressed himself as being free from all
pain. Death came without a moment s
warning.
There is one negro from the country with
smallpox confined at the pest house, two
miles out. Mr.. w. d. Little, a merchant
at Broxton, came in late yesterday even
ing and reported two negroes as having
the disease in that village The authori-
ties at once made arrangements for their
removal to the pest house. While there
is not a case in Douglas, nor is there any
nearer than the pest house the authori-
ties are using every precaution. 1t is
thought, as an additional precaution, that
they will enforce compulsory vaccine ton
in the city.

All the indications go TO show that they
were assisted from the outside. The night
being drizzly aided them, as there was

membership of the Ways and Means Com
rnittee, the new Insular, the judiciary and

PHILIP benson HANGED.
Killed His Victim in a Quarrel over
Twenty-Five Cents.

Rainbridge, Ca, Jan. 19-Philip benson,
the negro convicted at the November term
Of the court of the murder of another ne
gro was hanged to-day.
The killing occurred near Calvary, Ga,
in this county during the early part of
last November.
Both negroes were under the influence
of bad whisky at the time of the crime,
which grew out of dispute over % cents,
which Philip claimed was due him by the
dead negro. They disputed over this mat
ter at the home of the dead man, then
benson left, saying he would get his gun.
Afterwards at a late hour in the night
they met, when the killing occurred.
There were no Witnesses to the crime,
and benson insisted. even up TO his death
that the dead negro attacked him with a
fence rail, and that the killing was in
self-defense.
The circumstances of the killing, 1t is
claimed showed murder, and this was the
verdict of the jury. He made no state
ment, except TO protest his innocence.
The gallows trap fell promptly at II 40,
and he was pronounced dead by attend
ing physicians in fifteen minutes. His
last words Goodbye" were followed by
the quick snap of the gallows, and he
was gone.
