Figures for the Last Census Pc
rfsd from Omcfal Records.

Washington. February 1.-THE mi
grafton tetwesn sections of the United
States is dealt with in the following
~oficial statement issued by the census
bureau:
THE migration northward OF south
ern whites. while increasing in abso'
lutte amount, has relatively declined.
The migration i~northward Of colored
persons has increased rapidly. The
lnorthward migration Of southern whites
however. is still nearly three times as
great in absolute amount. and nearly
one and a half times a great relative
to the population from which it comes.
as the northward migration Of the COL
ored. a difference probably due in part
to the better economic position of III.
southern whites and in part to the fact
that the center Of population OF taar
class is nearer the border.
In 1900 there We're 1,032.776 persons
living in the south who had been born
in the north. an increase of 81 per cent.
since 1890. This current of migration
is greater in absolute amount han that
of southern whites or southern negroes
moving north, but over $50. 900 less Than
two combined. 1t is increasing
much more rapidly than either.
The total number OF persons of nottll-
ern birth in the United States Is so
great Tin 1890, 81, 1893, ia and in 1900. &c.
l86. $50 that the amount OF this SOUTH
ward movement reatiye to the popula-
tion from which it comes IS less than
the proportion for either OF the return
I%currentS.
In 1890 of all persons in the Unitea
States born in the north 2 per c,ht.
were living in the south. In 1907 the
proportion had increased to 2.6 per cent.
In 1890 there were north of Mason and
Dixon's line. the Ohio m the southern
boundary OF Missouri and Kansas 904,-
1888 white persons h a been born
in the south, which increased 6 per cent.
10 95S, 974 in 1900; but the number of
white persons of southern birth living
in the United States as a whole had in
lcreased from IL, 921. 995 to 16. 055, O45. The
proportion of white persons OF southern
birth and northern residence fell in the
ten years from z to 6 per cent. of the
whole class Of white persons born In
the south.
In 1900, 336,879 colored persons of
southern birth were living in the north.
IAN increase of almost 46 per cent.
Meantime the number of colored per-
sons born in the south and living in
the United States as a whole had in
lcreased from 6,915, lis to 1921, 0S1. The
proportion of colored persons of south
fern birth and northern residence in
creased in the ter years from 3.3 to Al
per cent. of the whole class of colored
persons born in the south.

ROOSEVELT STILL IMPROVING
ouite . Rally ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to Easily Pass Through the Second
Crisis.

Groton, Mass, February 12.-If Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Jr., continues for the
next twenty-four hours in his present
condition. his physicians have given
the president and Mrs. Roosevelt to be-
Heye that their sons vitality will be
sufficient for him to me ct ami pass sue
c~essfully the crisis in n.s cist ase. which
In looked for sometime tomorrow. and
on Friday morning he will be prac-
tcally out OF danger.
This report. which was given out by
Mr.. Cortelyou at 9 o'clock tonight was
the last Of the four iss ued during the
day. none OF which was Of a discourage
ing or ~unfavorable nature. The first
came early in the morning and stated
that the night had been a good one and
this was confirmed later after The MORN
ing examinations by the physicians,
and, in addition. it was said That Should
the favorable condition continue for
forty-eight hours the danger would be
passed.
Again at 3 o'clock word came that the
status of the case wac unchanged. but
that the conditions continued favorable.
At that time. however. no mention was
made as to whether the crisis had been
passed or was near: out alter the ex-
animation by the doctors tonight. Sec
rotary C~ortelyou frankly said that the
crisis in the right lung. that in the left
having been passed. would probably be
reached before tomorrow night
So confident are the president and his
wife that their son will pass through
thu crisis in good shape that the pres
tde&t is already making some 81 ght
preparations to leave for Wa shingto1.
Tonight 1t looks as II he might start
some time Friday.
The 9 o'clock report of the boys con-
dition was the most complete one of the
day Mr.. Cortelyou said in addition to
what has been already stated. that the
left lung had cleared considerably dur
ing the day. that mis- temperature.
respiration and pulse had shown but
little variation. Everything during the
a had gone on well. The clearing up
of the left lung is a favorable sign. in
that it will enable the boy to meet the
crisis in the right lung better. What is
known as resolution has set in in this
left lung.
In 81 eaking Of ether things b SIDES the
boys condition. Mr.. Cortelyou said that
no change had been made in the pro-
ANN for Prince Henry's visit: IN
fact invitations to the inner were go
ing out at Washington. The president
will not give up his trip to Charleston.
but will go there after Prince Henry
leaves
Quite Unexpectedly Mr.. Corte'you
made a sick room report at IL o'clock
saying that the boy was sleeping quiet
ly and that the situation was unchanE-
ed.
During the afternoon the president
was notified of the arrival at New York
