citation will be informed OF the plan de-
yised for the numbering OF houses on
Kencsaw Avenue between Fifteenth and

The plan is to split the numbers be
tween 1900 and 1900 al the alley which
now crosses Kenesaw Avenue. There is
no intermediate street. and the block is
too long 10 admit OF giving TO every six
lots in 100 feet a number in the 1909

members be arranged with reference 60

MISSISSIPPI CAMPAIGN

NEW ORLEANS. March 2S.-The Hon.
A p. F. Fox, candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor OF Mis-
sissippi. is receiving the support OF the
conservative wing OF the Democracy. Ia
his speech at Meridian he denounced
the race issue. which had been forced
into the campaign. as a false one. The
proposition TO abolish the education OF
the negro was. he said an assault on
the constitution of the State.
Mr.. Fox concluded his address with
strong appeal TO the people of Mis-
sissippi TO stop such false issues, and
devote their time and energy 10 the in
dustrial development OF the State.

Regarding this report Mr.. Moseley
said Yesterday.
Congress appropriated $50. 600 for the
use Of the commission. but the total
amount expended will fall more than
$4,000 short OF that figure. The actual
cost OF the entire investigation will
hardly be more than $3S, 900 according
to our present calculations. According
TO the views of prominent statisticians.
in which the members of the commission
concur, no such important results have
been attained heretofore at such small
expense. nor has any undertaking ever
been conducted along more businessIike
and economical lines"
or the total expended a large part
goes for salaries. Three out OF the sew
en- members OF the commission drew
salaries Of $4,000 each. besides their
per diem Of sl5. The other four mem
bers and the two assistant recorders
drew SIS per day each. Two stenogra-
piers received SO per day. The board
was appointed on October "A. and re-
NAMED in existence until March %. 50
that. approximately. the per diems for
members and employees amounted TO
SIS. 600.
The special train chartered for the
physical inspection of the territory was
paid out OF he per diem allowance. The
printing bills amounted to about $1,000,
and the work OF the .rt nogrsphers. who
took the testimony OF the sos witnesses,
cost the commission only 10 cents per
folio OF eight copies. aggregating about
81. coo. The stenographers did this work
50 cheaply because they we're given the
privilege or furnishing outsiders with
copies Of the testimony, privilege out
OF which they made something like $40
600. since there were 50 many parties in
interest most OF whom were glad to OBJ
tain the copies in this way. There were
some other expenses involved in the
hearings, such as janitOr service, fees
for the clerks. who swore the witnesses.

As matter OF fact the President is

OF Admiral OF the Navy is one created
by Congress for Dewey. and he will hold
the position for life or until he resigns
There is no manner IN which he could
be court -martialed iuasmuch as this
would require a court of at least two
officers OF equal rank. There are no
officers of the navy eligible TO sit in
such court. Congress is the ONLY body
with power 10 act in the event Of
charges against the Admiral OF the
Navy.
