FIFTH ARREST REPORTED
ANOTHER REMUNERATION OF GEN.
sus IN ctsroDr.
Gives Bail for Appearance Before
United States Court-Investiga-
m
ton Beinaf Extended.

The director of the census was apprlsed
today Of the arrest of another ex-enume-
rator of the census, in st. Mary's county,
Maryland, on the charge of padding the
lists and making false return of the
enumeration of the -inha bitants Of that
county. The man arrested is Philip T.
Graves. He was taken into custody by a
United States deputy marshal at Oakville,
St Mary's county, on a warrant sworn
to by Charles S. Sloane, chief Of the
geographers division of the census office
The prisoner was conveyed to Baltimore
where he was arraigned this morning. q
bond of $1,000 being furnished for his APP
pearsnce before the United States district
court In that city
The arrest of Graves is the fifth that
has been made by the federal authorities
on the information of officials of the CEN
sus IN connection with the census returns
from ST. Marys county. There were nine
enumeration districts in that county and
the investigation is progressing in the four
ulstricts on account Of the returns from
winch no arrests have as yet been made.
Eh"merator's supplemental List.
"A feature in the case of Graves. to which
census officials attach significance. is the
names returned by him, and which the rep
resentat1ves of the government contend are
1fauouient, were contained in a supple
mental list. The names which Abel, Guy
ther ana Bowles are accused of having
taken from tombstones and of having OBJ
ldlHeu IN violation of the census law were
not found In their original returns, but in
supplemental returns which were submitted
at intervals of several days after the orig
maj returns This is one of the aspects of
the case which has attracted the attention
OF census experts. 1t is they say, q curl
Gus thing which should have prompted the
ennmerators named. after having submit
In supplemental lists of bogus names, the
aggregate of which gave to ST. Mary's
county the right of an additional member
of the state legislature
The officials of the census, though they
decline to discuss the matter, appear to
suspect that similar irregularities charged
against those ex-enumerators under arrest
We're committed in each Of the nine enum-
Grafton districts in the county.
Extends to Charles County.
The inquiry instituted by the director Of
the census has already been extended to
Charles county, and from complaints regis
tered at the census office and allegations
made in certain quarters 1t is considered
probable that the scope OF the investiga-
ton will be so enlarged as to embrace also
the counties of Prince Georges and Anne
Arundel. Each of these counties gained
additional member of the legislature by
small increases In their population, which
increases were in the main shown by means
of supplemental lists of names turned in
by the enumeraturs. All the counties
named are in the fifth congressional dis
trict of Maryland. RI. :-..

From Chambers Journal.
An important discovery has just been
made by the Lancet, whose laboratory
commissioners undertook, some time ago.
the examination of a number Of sub
stances. including certain foods and drugs
In common daily use, and in the prepara
ton Of which sulphuric acid IS used. AS
result, IT was found that artificial manures
are rich In arsenic which is easily soluble
In water. This is the less surprising, since
the basis of artificial manures-namely,
superphosphate of lime-is formed by act
ing upon ordinary bone ash with common
oil of vitriol. The important point, how
ever, 10 that 1t has now been established
beyond doubt that plants to which arseni-
cal manure is applied take up arsenic In
their tissues. Cabbages and turnips gath
cred from fields MANFRED with superphos-
pilates have given unmistakable evidence OF
the presence OF arsenic 1t is probable that
acid accumulates in soil which is con-
stantly being dressed with superphosphates,
so that plants raised on such soil would
absorb arsenic. and exercise an injurious
effect on the health OF both man and ami
mails. II is even possible, for similar
reason, that the beef and mutton which
We eat daily contain arsenic. The more
important question also arises: May not
the arsenic III malt be traceable to the
somewhat large amount Of arsenic inevi-
tably present in artificial manures? This
aspect OF the subject is very serious
one. and demands further and fuller IN
