PLIGHT OF FRANCE
AS TO POPULATION
Census Figures Remain AL
most Stationary.
UNEAsINEss MANIFESTED

Proposed Expenditures For the Navy
Do Not Seem to Be Justified by Very
Slight Increase In the Population of
the Country.
PARIS, July 1.-THE naval expendi.
ture of France for 1909 is, officially pro-
posed to be $62, $40, ,O00 which at first
sight seems to be 81, 100 less than in
1901, but if it is taken into account that
the cost of maintaining the marine IN
fantry and artillery, amounting to about
$5, 400, 900, has been transferred from
the navy to the ministries of war and
the colonies, it is found that the money
that France intends to spend upon the
navy during 1902 is in reality So, 300, 900
in excess of the naval expenditures of
the current year.
Matter For Consideration.
It Is a matter of serious consideration
for the French whether they are not
spending upon their navy more than
their national resources warrant. France
has now piled up debt involving an
annual charge for interest of nearly
$200 900, ,OO0 or, i'll other words, every
man, woman and child i'll France has
now to pay So per annum for interest
on the national debt The army costs
the country $l32. 600, 600 year and the
total expenditure for 1909 is officially
proposed to be $720.000,O00.
Startling Statistics.
Moreover, reflections upon the French
census cause renewed uneasiness Last
March the population in round mum bers
was 80, 600, 900, being an increase of
only $50, 900 since 1896; and even this
meager result is mostly accounted for
by Paris and it's suburbs, where the in
crease has been 292, 900, due principally
to foreign immigration, so that in the
rest of France the population has been
augmented by only $4,000 during the
last five years. That is to say, for mill
tary and naval purposes the population
is almost stationary, and In this respect
France stands along among the great
nations of Europe.
Seems to Be Impossible.
Under these conditions, M. Jaures,
the socialist leader, and many advanced
thinkers among the radicals and radical
socialists, hold that it is impossible for
France to have at the same time navy
and army of the first rank simOlv he.

this afternoon at the associations annual meeting
which has been called for 4S0 o'clock at the office
of Paul Wilcox. st. Paul Building. II seems TO be
generally understood that Baltusrol will be the
course selected. A prominent official of the asso-
citation said last evening that. while nothing definite
had been decided, there every reason to be-
ieve that Baltusrol would get the award. The
course there measures 5eS5 yards, and would prove
entirely satisfactory from championship point of
view. Baltusrol has already accepted the womenS
national championship. however. and it is barely
possible that it may undertake the
Jersey contest. Last year the championship was
held at the Essex County Country Club, of Orange.

DEVERY ATTACKS POOL.
SAYS MAGISTRATE is GUILTY OF MAIL
FEASANCE.

The amusing sight of the notorious Davery
turning for aid and comfort TO tht Tammany
aetested District Attorney Mr. Phlbin, was
witnessed at Police Headquarters yesterday.
rbsn the ex-chief exploded in fit of ostensibly
tgbteous Indignation against Police Magistrate
pool and declared that he ought to be indicted
for rnalfeasance in office" Magistrate Pool has
heen in Atlantic City for several days. None of
his fellow magistrates seen last night would
comment the case
II appears that Magistrate Pool had the au-
dacity recently to dismiss prisoner arrested on
suspicion Of aiding burglars. The police had no
rositive proof against the prisoner and the
magistrate, it is said, thought the arrest had
been made more for the purpose of ''blind'
than anything else. 1t is a faVorite trick with
The police to arrest bartenders instead of saloon
keepers; inmates of disorderly houses instead of
The mistress; the employees of gambling rooms
instead Of the proprietors and so Magistrate
POOL il is said, thought this prisoner was Icing
offered up in place of the real robbers who
might have been captured just as easily If the
mice really wanted them. Therefore he dis
charged the police victim, against whom there
WAS no direct evidence.
Devery first heard of this awful act at Police
Headquarters yesterday. He almost frothed at
the mouth. To Captain Chapman he roared:
! NdHI Sou ~ prepare d report 10 the COM
missioner on that whole subject, so that We can
ask the District Attorney to present a case to
the grand jury touching on the Indictment Of
POOL There is reason why lie should lac
discharging burglars right and left. SO that :hey
can 90 right back to business. FTe ought TO
be off the bench. lie cuts them loose. and they
90 right back and ply their vocation again If
there ever was malfeasance in cfIice that was Il
case. The same thing has been going ever
since he took his place on the bench
Commissioner Murphy and Devery had a talk
together over the charges against Magistrate
Pool later in the day. and Murphy assured the
ex-chief that ne would back him up in every
way To the reporters Mr. Murphy said
1T is doubtful what action can be taken in
this matter. and I can certainly say nothing till
I have been advised by counsel. l haven't read
the afidavits in the case Yet, but I have in
