COUNTING THE PEOPLE
SEVEN MILLION NAMES HAVE BEEN
TABULATED.
Schedules Arriving at the Rate of
1000 a Day - The Census Will BE
Ready for Congress December 1.

The jingle of the bells on the tabulating
machines mixes in horrible discord with the
regular click of the punching machines at
the census office. but yet 1t Is sweet music
to the ears OF Director Merriam, for 1t tells
him that the official count of the people of
the United States will be ready for Con-
gress by the list of December.
There are 500 punchers at work. and they
are eacn punching 600 cards a day. Five
hundred and fifty thousand cards on an
average are counted each day now, and In
fifteen days the average will go up to 1JO,-
600.
The director of the census told a Star re-
porter today that he would surely be
through the official coun. of the United
States by December 1. In time for Congress
to draft bill upon which the apportion-
ment of the states would be based. There
are 100000 names now In the census
office waiting to be counted. Already
100000 have passed through the tabulat-
Ing machines and are of official record.
me schedules are arriving at the rate Of
1000 daily. and 1t is expected that the bulk
of them will be in by August 5.
What Has Been Done.
Fifty tabulating machines are running at
full speed. and the operators have already
attained a marked proficiency. Three thou
sand one hundred and fifty clerks are now
at work in the census There will only be
1JO more, and these have been selected and
will be appointed this month
1t Will be interesting to those engaged In
manufacturing to know that out of 600, 600
schedules 255.0OO have been received, and
out of 100000 schedules Of farms 5000, 900
have already been received. In the division
devoted to vital statistics the deaths amount
to 52O.OOO for the last fiscal year which
ended June 30, 1900 have been received.
Promotion for Efficiency.
There Is absolutely no loafing in the
population division. 1t is here that the
records made by the enumerators are
Transcribed by the punching machines on
cards. and the department already boasts
large number of experts. AS heretofore
stated in The Star. Director Merriam has
issued orders for the prompt promotion of
all punchers who attain a degree Of pro-
ficiency.
Tor those who can average 100 cards per
hour, while those who will bring their aver
age up to 40 cards per hour will receive
$40 per month. This Is an incentive for the
clerks to work. and the results have been
most satisfactory to the director
1t is not nearly so warm in the census
office as 1t has been. The big exhaust fans
are now In position, and these draw out of
the building the hot air while the small
electric fans placed all about the building
keep the fresh air circulating
Applicants have ceased coming to the
census office in any large numbers and
Appointment Clerk Langley is being let
alone for the present. The applicants have
those who have received notice there is
little chance for appointment. OF the 100
who will go to work this month each one
has been notified and there will positively
dies, resigns or is discharged for inef1l-
cheney.

CLOSING SALOONS ON SUNDAY.
Old Fight which Is Now Before SUI
ureme Court Revived.

The fight which is aimed at the clos
ing OF saloons on Sunday will come up
again tomorrow afternoon before Justice
Austin, when Billy Belond, Dave Blake
and Nelson q Inset are arraigned- In
a former case the justice held that he
sat simply as a committing magistrate.

original jurisdiction. The matter was
taken into the superior court on an al
tentative writ of mandate. Judge Moore

rendered. 1t Is presumed that the same
kind of a fight will be made In the pres
ent cases.
