CENSUS FRAUDS CHARGED.
Two st. Mary County, Md, Citizens
Under Arrest.

BALTIMORE, March 27-JoSeph Ching,
a lawyer, of Leonardtown, and Charles
II. Guyther. farmer. of Valley Lee, also
in St. Mary County, were brought to
this city by the United States authorl-
ties, charged with making and conspiring
TO make false census returns. The war
rant for their arrest was sworn out be-
fore Commissioner Rogers last Saturday
by Charles r. Sloane, chief of the geo
graphical division of the United States
Census Office.
The charge against the farmer is that
Charles H. Guyther, who was an emu
merator of the Twelfth Census for the
lO9th enumeration district of the third
supervisor district of Maryland, and who
had taken and subscribed to the oath,
did knowingly and willfuIly make a false
return of the living inhabitants of said
enumeration district in that he returned
1873 persons as living inhabitants of the
district on June l, 1900, when. as he then
and there well knew. the said 19S persons
Were not, on the first day of June, 1900,
inhabitants Of the district"
The charge against Ching is that he
conspired with Guyther to make the false
returns as stated. Both men are well-to-
do citizens of st, Mary County. Ching
is a praeticing lawyer of Leonardtown
and Guyther owns very valuable farm
some sixteen miles from the county seat.
Ching is a member of the Republican
State Central Committee.
Director Merriam yesterday afternoon
received a despatch from Baltimore, tell
ing of the arrest of Ceing and Guyther,
on warrants sworn out by Charles G..
Sloane, charging them with compicity in
the alleged false census returns from St.
Mary County. They waived examination
and gave bail in the sum of 81 500 each to
answer before the United States District
Court. The Census Office intends to probe
deep into the enumeration scandal Of st.
Mary County, and every man in the
county concerned as a principal i'll the
conspiracy to pad the census returns will
he arrested.
Stephen A. Ahell. who was arrested in
this city in connection with these alleged
census frauds in st. Mary County, will be
tried in Baltimore

David r. Pine and seven other property
owners on the north side OF Street. be-
tween Sixth and Marion Streets north
west, have united in a petition to the
Commissioners protesting against the
widening Of the sidewalk from ten TO
twelve feet in front Of their property.
The reasons advanced are chiefly that
the street is not a business thorOughfare.
and therefore does not need a sidewalk Of
twelve feet in width and that the pres
ent walk was laid by the District about
a year ago. and that the widening Of the
same incurs needless expense. The pc
titioners also mention the fact that each
Of them has erected a substantial mon
fence, and that to remove the same VIII
incur stil greater expense.
The petition was referred 20 the Sur
face Division Of the Engineer Depart
ment. and c. B. Hunt. the Computing
Engineer. has reported as follows.
Il recommend that the writers be ad-
vised that the Commissioners are unable
TO modify the order for the width OF the
sidewalk on Z Street, between Sizth and
Marion Streets, but that the Same must
be- constructed TO the regulation width OF
twelve feet rather than as they desire to
a ten foot width The width ordered is
tho most advisable on a largely Travelled

cordance with the building regulations
which provide that the minimum width
OF sidewalk on such q street shall be
