the old, old problem, aud seems as far
from solution as ever. There is but
one explanation-people Of all nations,

CENSUS FIGURES ARE ALL RIGHT
Farm Acreage Estimates Nearer Truth
Than Statement of National Board
of Trade, Says Powers.

washington, Nov. 24.-Mr. L. G.
Powers, the chief statistician for az
riculture in the census bureau, author
ICES the following statement concern
ing the report of the committee OF
the national board Of trade, alleging
th&t the census figures of farm acre
age are grossly exaggerated:
The most important specifications
under that charge briefly summarized
consist of one general and seven
specific items as follows:
THE census figures show 101 coun'
ties with farm lands reported equal
to or in excess of the surveyed land
surface of such countless For Ohio
10 per cent of the number Of counties
ore shown to represent 10afser cent
or more of the entire surface in farm
lands; in Iowa, I per cent; Kansas.
y per cent; Kentucky, 9 per cent;
Missouri, 9 per cent; Tennessee, g psr
cent Indiana, 6 per cent, etc
with reference to the specific
atateisents quoted above concerning
the seven states named, only two ~
he quoted statements can be sub
stantiated as they stand in the re,
port. Further, the committee, in max,
II. its report, did not possess Stats
tics Of surveyed land for single
state. These assertions can be easily
established, provided the committee
will give to the public the names AMI
area Of surveyed land Of all the coun-
ties referred to by them. The state.
ments of the committee with refer
ence to the excess acreage a. these
seven states are more in excess Of
the facts than they allege NE farm
acreage in such states to be in eX-
cess of the true farm area. Further,
the so-called excess acreage actually
reported by the census is in harmony
with the facts, as cursory eXamina'
ton Of the same will demonstrate. IN
prosecuting it's Investigations. the
committee never made one inquiry Of

Washington, Nov. 24.-Although
the state department has not yet de.

action will be taken if it is learned

into the rear end of IL.
The engine and baggage coach of the
passenger and three cars of the freight
train were overturned tearing up the
signal tower and blocking traffic.
The members of the Opera company
were all in bed when the crash came
and the shock tumbled them out in an

appeared from behind the berth cur
tains and more questions were asked
in regard to the trouble than the train
crew could answer in week. Several
of the Company received slight injur-
les, but they made light of the trouble
Officials of the Delaware division at
the French street station were very
reticent about the facts of the accident
this morning and did not want to dis

the wreckage took fire and that the
bodies of the fireman of the passenger
engine and two brakemen who were
held by the heavy timber beneath thu
wreck, were burned beyond recognition

the negro dead. and fifteen minutes later
the body was cut down. Death was due
to strangulation.
