SOUTH'S POPULATION Is
INCREASING WHILE THE

states nearly doubled in population with
each twenty years, while to the South
ern states the increase of population was
only about two thirds as great. Since
1860 the rate of growth in both parts OF
the country has been much less but while
the rate of growth in the North has de-
creased steadily. that in the South dur
ing the twenty years from 1860 to 1880 has
been slightly less. During the last TWEEN
ty years there has been no substantial
difference in the rate of growth of the
two sections. The per cent Of the increase
of growth of these regions during each
of the last two ten-year periods follow
1SS0-1S9O, North, 2AS; South, 201; West
71.S; 1S9O-19O0 North, 10; South, "a; West

If the comparison is limited to the states
east of the Mississippi river, CHASING
Minnesota and Louisiana with the West

emit 1t would show the increase to be:

North, 1919: South, III.
When the trans-M Mississippi states are
omitted the rate Of growth in the North
is slightly greater than that in the South,
but the present difference between the
two sections In this respect is about half
what it was between 1880 and 1890 and less
than one-seventh of what it was between
1850 and 1861

NJ. LANPRE FACES
SENATOR MORGAN
Has to Answer Many Questions
About Panama Company
TELLS ABOUT ORGANIZATION
New Company Could Sell the Property,
Put the Money in Its Pocket and
Not Share With the old
Chandler Made Speech.

Washington, January 13.-The Senate
committee on inter- oceanic canals held a
session today, and M Lampre of the Pam
anna Canal Company was again before it.
Senator Morgan questioned him closely
and at length, going over the examina-
ton of Saturday, but not bringing out any
new facts Of especial Importance. The
committee will meet again tomorrow.
Senator Morgan questioned NJ. Lampre
especially concerning the stockholders of
the old Panama Canal Company in the
pending transaction. M. Lampre stated
that under the agreement with the new
company the old stockholders of the old
concern would receive 60 per cent of the
proceeds Of the sale. He also said that an
liquidator of the old company that in
case the property arbitrator would be
chosen to make an equitable distribution
of the proceeds of the sale. He contended
that under the French law the new COM
pany had a perfect right to make the
transfer Notwithstanding the interference
of the old company.
10 prevent any pOSSlDle Sllldh5iC-
ment," he said, I'VE made an agreement
with the liquidator of the old canal COM
pany to the effect that we shall have
absolute authority to deal directly with
the government of the United States"
The bondholder liquidator did not APP
pear in the agreement, but he gave the
liquidator of the old company authority
to enter into the agreement.
Senator Morgan: Could the new COM
pany sell the property and put the pro-
ceeds in its pocket and not share them
with the old company?
NJ Lampre: 1t could do so under the
authority of the stockholders meeting.
Senator Morgan: Then the transaction
between the two canal companies must
have been a sale to the new company
without reference to the bonds and stock
held by the old company.
M. Lampre: Yes; but one Of the condi-
tions was that we should give 60 per cent
of the proceeds to the old company.
M Lampre said that of the 10000 shares
of stock of the Panama Railroad Com
pany the new Panama Canal Company
owns 6S,534 and that the railroad COM
pany had last year paid dividends to the
canal company amounting to 100000
francs.

Washington. January 1S.-The director
of the census announced today the per-
centage of increase of population in diff
ferent parts of the country, showing for
the last decade a rapid decrease from
previous rate of growth of population In
the West, a less marked but decided de-
crease In the North and a slight increase
in the South.
For the first time in the history of
this country the population of the South
has increased somewhat more rapidly
than that of the North. The East
geographically is included in the term
North. The official announcement divides
the country as follows:
West, from the Pacific to the eastern
boundary of Montana, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO and New Wexico; north and south,
the respective lines of line formed by
the Potomac and Ohio rivers and the
southern boundaries of Missouri and
Kansas. The percentage of increase from
1860 to 1880 was 61.9 In the North 4S.4 in
the South and 1856 in the West, while in
the last twenty years. 1SS0-190) 1t was

Washington, January 13.-There was a
sharp controversy in the Senate execu-
tive session today over the confirmation
of S. G. Sharp as marshal for the new
Eastern district of Kentucky. The two
Senators from Kentucky Deboe (Republi-
cam and Blackburn DemocraD took op-
posing positions.
When Mr.. Sharps nomination was
called up Senator Blackburn objected to
confirmation on the ground that Mr..
Sharp had presided over a mass meeting
held In front of the executive mansion
at Frankfort in 1899, while the Goebel-
Taylor controversy was at its height
and few days before Goebel was assas-
sinated.
Senator Blackburn characterized this
meeting as an armed mob and said it
was composed of about 400 men who
had been brought from all parts of the
State for the purpose of intimidating
Goebel and his followers. He said no
man who would consent to act as its
leader should be appointed to an office
