4-YEAR- OLDS RUN SHORT.
Slight Decrease in School Census AS
Shown by Report

The task of taking the school
census for Lancaster was completed
Saturday by VIII Webb. The total
juvenile population of the school dis
trict OF school age is 763.
This is a slight decrease over that
of last year, the total then being 791
This is accounted for by The fact that
the four-year-old youngsters in Lam
caster fell short in number this year
for some unaccountable reason.
The census again shows the girls to
be in the lead as usual, their number
being 39S; boys 500.
The school census is taken every
year to determine the amount of
money that the district is entitled to
from the state fund The school age

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 9.-The visit OF Mr.
and Mrs. Charles G.. Dawes to Mrs. NC
Kinley at her home in Canton is believed
here to be significant Reports from can
ton while exceedingly guarded, are TO the
effect that the condition of Mrs Mckln-
ley is regarded with great anxiety by her
family and close friends.
1t is generally understood that Mrs. Nc
Kinley never fully recovered from the ell
feet of her experiences on the CallIornla
trip and her illness in San FRANCISCO
tragic end. 1t has developed that the
heart-breaking strain made serious IN,
roads on her physical and mental
strength. In fact It is TegretMIniI4y, r au-
that both mind and body have been sen-
ously undermined and there are signs mat
seem to indicate she Is failing t ape of
Mrs. McKinley's case is her mental condl-
ton. She mourns constantly for her nus
band, and can think or talk OF no other
subject. The holiday season always mas
been time for gayety with Mrs. McKin-
ley, but it is understood that she feels
the bereeavement 50 Poignantly that that she ne
participate in any Christmas festivities.
Another fact shows how keenly Mrs.
Mckinley feels her bereavement and how
constantly it occupies her mind. 1t has
repeatedly happened since the funeral
that pleasant days she has had a
rocking-chair taken to her husband S
lOIlD. there, accompanied ny uer hui sc
or a friend she has sat for hours beside
the tomb, plunged in grief and prey to
deepest melancholy.
In the last two weeks this tendency to
melancholy has grown more marked, and
Mrs. McKinley's condition has become a
source of anxiety to her friends in Canton
and to those who have gone to see her
from other parts of the State. So keen
has the anxiety become that a systematic
effort will now be made to interest her
in things about her and take her mind
away. from the one subject that absorbs
her thoughts in all her waking hours.
Reports from Canton go so far as to in
dictate that unless there is an improve
ment in Mrs. McKinley's condition there
is grave fear that she will not live
through the winter.

SCHOONER LONG
REACHES PORT
Famine-Scourged Vessel
Reports Loss Of
Her Mate.
Passengers Accuse Owner of
Deserving Them When
Supplies Give Out.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 9.-The long
overdue schooner Ralph ]. Long, forty
seven days from Nome, with ninety pas
sengers and fifteen stowaways, arrived
to-day According to the passengers, the
Long had an eventful voyage and they
narrowly escaped both starvation and
death by drowning. When the Long
sailed from Nome she did not have more
than enough provisions and water to last
her to Dutch Harbor on a fast trip, but
before that port was reached the water
supply had given out. George Morrill,,
the managing owner, and several sailors
volunteered to go ashore in a small boat
TO procure water. While they were on
The way the steamer Arctic came along
and Morrill, boarded her, leaving $1S5
with the boats crew for the purchase of
water and supplies. When the Long
passengers and crew were half famished
q favorable wind carried them to Dutch
Harbor, where the boats crew was
picked up, and it was found that the $l35
would purchase but a small poruon OF the
necessary supplies. A couectlon OF $4fu
was raised among the passengers.
Charles d. Lane gasoline schooner ar
rived, and when the condition OF the
Longs passengers was learned Lane gave
$50 and the crew subscribed $107. This
money was expended, but was not enough
TO pay for a sufhciency of supplies. How
ever, the Alaska Commercial Company
furnished everything necessary and Cap
tain Green gave the company a bottomry
bond on the schooner.
The Long eft Dutch Harbor on No
vCmber 8 ard encountered heavy head
winds. On November IL a storm came up
and the little craft was tossed about at
the mercy Of the gale and on several
occasions thrown almost on her beam
ends. Seas continually swept her decks
carrying away one lifeboat and nearly all
Of her water supply. While Mate Han
son was trying TO save the waiter barrels
he was carried overheard and drowned.
The passengers had to depend on what
rain water could be caught on the deck
OF the vessel. They are highly indignant

SENATOR HoAR AFTER
ANARCHISTS AND LYNCHERs
Introduces Resolution Requesting
the President to Negotiate With
other Governments

CALL BUREAU. 1906 G STREET, N.
W, WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Senator
HOar gave proof in black and white to-day
that he was in earnest when he proposed
to deport anarchists to an island.
He presented in the Senate a resolution
requesting the President to enter into
negotiations with other civilized Govern
ments to the end that some island or other
Suitable territory be set apart by joint
action on which. under due precaution
and after fair trial, persons found guilty
OF attempting, instigating or counseling
the overthrow Of government, or of GRIM
inal attempts on chief magistrates or
other high officials, may be confined.
Thus is the venerable Massachusetts,
Senator ready for anarchy and a renewal
OF attempts to get international action on
the matter.
Senator HOar also introduced a bill de-
signed TO severely punish participants in
lynchings. II provides for the trial of all
lynehers by United States District Courts
and imposes Imprisonment and a heavy
money penalty on conviction. The fine is
to paid TO the family of the victim of the
lynchers, or, in case there is no family. to
the treasury Of the county where the
lynching occurs. 1t also provides that an
officers charged with the protection of
prisoners who fail in their duty shall be
fined TO the extent of 5000.
