CERMANY'S GREAT GROWTH
Population Increases Thirty Millions During
the Century.
RUSSIA ALONE AHEAD IN EUROPE

WASHINGTON, March l5.--The census Of
fce has received through the State de-
partment consular report on the popu-
lation of the German empire and its changes
during the last century. That population
is now about 56,000,O00, larger than that o.,
any country in Europe except Russia. which
has In Europe alone over 100 ,0OO0OO sub
jects. In 1898 the whole German empire
had population of about $4,000, 900, and
at the close of the Napoeonic wars In
1915. Germany, though somewhat reduced In
size, had population of something more
than 10000. 900, In 1916. since which date
the area has remained almost constant,
Germany had $4,000 900; in 1865. 10000, 900; /;
in 1885. AZ 900 900 and in 1900 about 55,5Oo,-
600, an increase during the century Of about
80 900 900.
since 1871, when the modern German en-
pre was organized, the population OF Ger
many was increased about 30 per cent, a
growth extremely rapid for an old country
and for one sending out large and steady
streams OF emgrants.
The Germans feel a natural pride in the
rapid growth of their population, says
the report. compared with that of their
rival across the Rhine. In 1916 France
had about 5000, 900 inhabitants and Ger,
many 3i,OO0.O00. Now France has abou'
$4,000, 900, or only two-thirds the number
OF Germany.
The provisional results OF the census OF
Vienna. taken December 81, 1900 have just
been announced, and according to re-
port from the consul general at Vienna,
shows population OF I ,635, ,6i7, or nearly
So 900 less than there were In Chicago when
the recent census of that city was taken.
These figures show Vienna TO rank next
after London, Paris and Berlin among the
European capitals, while in this country
only New York and Chicago are larger.

that all foreclosure and administrator sales

w. q. Shriver, Secretary-It was unfor-
tunate that the property was put up WITH
such d high reserve price. The first thing
the Real Estate exchange has to do Is to
get the good will and confidence OF the
public. The members of the exchange un-
derstood the conditions of the sale, but the
public did not. | believe the bidding would
have gone 5000 to $500 higher If more time
had been given.

tee on Auctions and also Auctloneer at Las;
Wednesdays Sales-In considering the re-
suit. 1t must be remembered that every
real estate man knew that there was an
upset price, which kept down much of the
enthusiasm, and there had been only linn
tied advertising. In spite of this there was a
large attendance and the bidding was spir-
tied, which indicates an active undercurreni
in the real estate market. Hereafter !
shall urge that the exact conditions OF sale
be advertised thoroughly.

be as high as buyer would give at pri-
vate sale. as property is selling today in
my judgment
Mr. William Fleming. city tax comnis-
sioner, who was present as an interested
spectator, said afterward that he consd-
cred the result should be very encouraging
to the promoters OF the auctions. When q
man can step into the market at from three
to ten days notice and get an offer oi

that the property must bring at least two
thirds OF the appraised valuation. This al
least has been exceeded.

P,n-American show Rates.

The passenger committee of the Trunk
line Association met in New York yestcr-
day and agreed on certain rates to the Pan
American exposition. Special rates SO far
made by the association for this event
were intended TO be good for May only.
This announcement created the impress
sion among the public at large that later
still cheaper rates would be made. This
idea is erroneous according TO Commits
sioner Farmer, Of the association. who
said to-day that rates for May were made
as low as possible becuse the passenger
believed that the exposition
would not be as ''showable" during that
month as later. Confirming this statement
of the commissioner, the passenger commit
tee yesterday slightly increased the rate
on the ten-day excursion ticket after June
j. During May this ticket will be sold on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, good for ten
days, at a rate Of one fare and one-half.
After June l and for the rest of the season
these tickets will cost one and one-half
fare plus 81. In return for this extra dollar
the time limit has been extended, making
the ticket good for fifteen days. Instead OF
being sold only on Tuesdays and Thurs
days these tickets will be sold every day
in the week. The docket of the passenger
committee is so crowded that il las been
decided To hold a two days meeting next
week. Among the important questions is
the disposition of the New York-Chicago
differential fare adjustment.

Small Shippers Complain.

Representatives Of Eastern and Southern
shipping interests and members of the
Southern classification committee met in
Chicago yesterday and exchanged views
regarding the friction which has existed
for some time between Chicago shippers
and the transportation companies. A year
ago the classification committee advanced
in class over two-thirds of the 900 items of
merchandise. This caused small shippers
to complain, as the burden of this increased
freight rates fell upon them, while the
big shippers who dealt in carload lots
escaped. Before the committee, f. Ii.
Thurher, of the United States Export As
ISOLATION, said: Il believe it TO be TO the
carriers interests TO foster small shippers.
Transportation companies can get a better
average rate from many small shippers
than from few large ones, and Ii should be
remembered that large shippers are con-
stantly pressing for lower rates and ind
vidual advantages, while the small shippers
are heard not in the case except through
commercial organizations.

THEY EXIST ONLY IN NAME
LOCAL TICKET sCALPERs LABOR IN
DER HARD CONDITIONS.
Missouri Pacific to BE the Nucleus of
a Great Southwestern System
Gross Earnings in February.

As several new ticket scalping offices nave
been opened here quite recently, a local
passenger official was asked the meaning,
and he answered; $50 far as Indianapolis is
concerned the ticket scalper exists only in
name. You will notice that they have a
little desk in some cigar store or some little
tailoring establishment where any rental
they pay would be but little, whereas in the
years when the ticket scalpers were thrifty
they had large and well-equipped offices.
The fact is, railroad combinations are so
strong that even the weaker lines would
not dare TO work with scalpers. Take the
Monon, the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Day
ton, the Indiana, Decatur & Western or the
Lake Erie q Western, who for years were
known TO work with scalpers, they are now
the best rate maintaining lines that enter
indianapolis. In fact, it is said that it is
easier i'm some underhanded way to get hold
of a ticket of the Big Four or the Pennsyl-
vania lines than che Of either of the lines
named, whose record until within the last
year or year and a half was not above sus-
ricion.' There seems TO be little object now
for either line to shade passenger rates, all
are enjoying the best business in their his
tory, and without exception the roads
named are showing handsome increases in
passenger earnings over any former year.
The Central Traffic Association has never
had so firm a grip on the situation as at
present. In fact, in some respects, passen-
ger officials say ii is really too arbitrary.
The ticket scalpers have other occupations,
and occasionally get hold of a few eXcur-
sion tickets on which they are enabled TO
make a little money by selling the return
portion TO some point, as there are some
people who never take a trip until sucn a
time arrives that the scalper chances to
have a ticket to sell, and their business now
is limited to a very small revenue.
