BROOKLYN MEETS ACCIDENT
war vessel Strikes Unchsrted OBJ
structiOn in Bussard's nay and
is Seriously Damaged.

WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-Acting secre-
tary Of the Navy Darling has received a tel
egram from Rear Admiral J. B. Coghlan,
second in command on the North Atlantic
station, giving q report Of the accident
which befell his flag ship, the cruiser
Brooklyn, In Buzzard's bay yesterday.
The report says that while withdrawing
from the maneuver attack Brooklyn struck
and ran over an uncharted obstruction. Ex-
animation showed that about six frames
we're bent inward, inner bottom plates
bulged and compartment making SOM
water and other damage done. The report
concludes: sas-
DO not consider blame attaches to any
person concerned. Recommend that ship
90 to navy yard for docking and eKamina-
ton. Have ordered Investigation and In
formed commander n-chief. Shall proceed
to Block leland and II he admiral Higgin-
SEM cannot be found will 60 to Hopkins
VILE for orders"
orders were sent forward to Brooklyn to
proceed to the New York navy yard, where
the extent Of the damage could be ascer-
tanned definitely. without a better defined
idea Of the character Of the injuries naval
o~ficials were not prepared to give n esti-
mate Of the time during which Brooklyn
must De lald I'D or OF the COST OF REPAIRS
but II was thought that II would be in dock
anywhere from three weeks to two months
and that the cost OF the accident probably
would total upward of $4,000.
The bay in which, Brooklyn struck was
charted, not by the naval photographic
once, but by the coast and geodetic survey.
Brooklyn was the largest vessel which had
entered Buzzard's bay in the memory OF
the Oldest inhabitants and II was realized
that an element of risk attended its appear
snce In that locality. But naval officers
point out that the maneuvers are intended
to stimulate actual war conditions and pro-
duce beneficial results in the way Of valu-
able information to the army and NAVY and
the appearanca Of a vasaal lIke brooklyn
might well be necessary in war time.
The big cruiser already has an unenviable
record for striking snags. While the North
Atlantic squadron was lying off Cuba this
ship struck a rock near Guantanamo. When
hardly out of the builders hands II struck
in the Delaware river and punched a big
hole in It's bottom. and once again on the
East river the vessel encountered an I'M
looked for obstruction. It's 'accident yester-
day is the fourth in the memory of naval
%oficials.

MORE OLD FOLKS EVERY YEAR
Census Bureau Issues Report show
ing that the MediGn Line is
Being Lifted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE census
bureau today issued q statement showing
the increasing age Of the population from
decade to decade. The statement gives the
results Of computing the median instead OF
the average age. The median Is such an
age that half the population is under II
and half is over It. The median age Of
the total population In 1900 was 22.S, as
compared with 21.9 in 1890. The median
age Of the white population in the last
census year was 23.4 and the colored, in
GLIDING negroes. Indians and Mongolians.
was 1877, while in 1890 the White population
was 22.4 and the colored 1873.
The report shows there vas an increase
in the median age of the white population
from 1910 to 1900, amounting in the ninety
years to IA. The median age Of the col
ored population increased aftef 1880. but
with less regularity. The median age OF
the colored population increased three
years in the seventy-year period as fast
as that Of the whites. But during the last
twenty years OF the century the increase
for the two groups has been substantially
the same, 10 for the colored and two years
for the white.
MANY complex influences nave co-operatcd
In producing as a resultant this steady
change in the age composition Of the pop
ulation. Three may be mentioned. viz.
The rapid progress Of medical and SAM
tary science. which has tended to increase
the average length Of life; the decrease
in the relative number OF children born
which has made the earlier age periods
less p~reponderant numerically in the total
population and the ininx, especially since
1870. OF great numbers OF adult immi-
grants, increasing the number In the Older
age periods. The difference between the
white and colored populations is doubtless
due to the fact hat the influences have
wrought more powerfully upon the white
race than upon the eolored."
