ST. LOUIS. Mo, May 29.-In a rioting
sense today's developments were the
worst experienced since the strike on the
lines of the st. Louis Transit company
was inaugurated, over three weeks ago.
The rioting was confined entirely to three
places, in the southern section of the
city, and by nightfall the police records
showed that fully a dozen persons had
either received bullet wounds or been
hurt by flying missiles. Three of those
hit by bullets received what are pre-
sumably mortal wounds, and that no one
was killed outright seems miraculous
considering the great number of shots ex-
changed in indiscriminate fashion on the
part of employees of the company, the

READY TO TAKE CENSUS
ACTIVE WORK WILL BE INAUGU-
RATED ON JUNE L.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-After fifteen
months of preparation the preliminary
work in connection with taking the
twelfth census is practically over, the
actual field work commencing on the first
day of June
The work incident to the commence
ment of the. enumeration proper has
been of considerable magnitude. Nearly
300 supervisors have been selected 50 500
enumerators, something over 1000 special
agents; a clerical force is now at work
numbering over 1000, and examinations
are in force that will provide some 220O
more. Over 100000 of schedules have
been prepared and sent to different parts
of the United States for use in taking
the enumeration, and acquiring other
facts in connection with the manufac-
turing and agricultural industries.
In order to bring about these conditions
there Will have been spent on the first
Of June about $150,000
On the morning of June 1 the small
army of enumerators will sally forth
upon the commencement of the most i'm
portant census taken during the history
of the United States.
The preliminary work that has been
undertaken is but a small part Of the task
that confronts the officials of the census
bureau. The field work, now commenc-
ing, which will involve the use of all the
enumerators and special agents, consist
ing of nearly $1,000 men, probably will not
be finished until in September.
When the returns are made from this
vast aggregation of information hunters,
the real work of the census will begin.
The count of the population will be hur-
ried through 50 as to complete 1t by the
time congress convenes, in order that a
proper apportionment bill may be pro-
vided for at the next session of the ma
tional legislature The work of COM
piiation, tabulation, and printing, will
follow and this alone Will be work Of
great magnitude
1t is hoped to finish the principal part
of the census work within the next two
years. That done, the special subjects
connected with the industrial and 50.
Geological inquiries will be taken up and
disposed of as fast as possible. A much
more thorough supervision and enumer-
alton will be undertaken than ever at
tempted heretofore, involving, of course,
an extraordinary expenditure, with a
view of a more thorough count of the
population in the larger cities. 1t is not
unlikely that the cost of the census,
when completed, will be between $4,000
600 ard $4,000 600. 1t is believed, however,
that the results, either from a scientific
or practical standpoint, in the main will
be satisfactory to the people Of the coun.
try.

outnumbered. Several hundred were
Killed and two guns and many rifles
were captured, after which most of the

is no doubt that they have the counten-
