move Commissioner.

NEW YORK. Oct 13-The record Of
the asphalt trust viii figure In the
city campaign. The present head of
the police department is Gen. F. V.
Greene. who was also head of the
asphalt trust
Greene is a Republican appointed by
Mayor Low. and If the mayor is re-
elected Greene will continue in his pres
ent Office.
Many times the question has been
fired at Mcclellan, Tammanys nominee
for mayor: IF you are elected will
YOU keep Greene in Officer"
Mcclellan has refused heretofore to
answer this question.
Tammany leaders say ne will declare
boldly that he will remove Greene from
Office If ne becomes mayor, and will
point 70 the record of the asphalt
trust i'm this city as his justification.
This will lead to an attack on Greene
because of his associations with the
asphalt trust. of which he was one OF
the main promoters.
Comptroller Grout can produce hgures
showing that when Police COMMISSIONS
Greene was president of the Barber
Asphalt Company. that concern had
monopoly of paving In this city, and
charged many times as much as is
paid now for the same work.

SENATORS CAN'T AGREE
ON AN APPOINTMENT
Iowa Statesmen's Differences About
Selection of District Judge.

Another disagreement between United
States Senators over a Federal appoint
ment has come about in Iowa. There
Senators Allison and Dolliver have SO
far failed to reach an understanding as
TO who should be selected by President
Roosevelt for the position OF judge for
the northern Iowa district. There are
i've candidates, each Congressional dis
trict of the northern half of the State
furnishing one. This condition OF things
o: course leaves the Congressman com
pletely divided, as each member of Con-
gress is forced to support the candi-
date from his own district
In these circumstances, the outcome
largely depends on the Senators. and
il they could come 70 an agreement the
question would quickly be settled Sena-
tor Dolliver favors State Senator
Thomas d. Healy. OF Fort Dodge, while
Senator Allison is supposed to have a
leaning toward Craig Wright. a lawyer
of prominence in Sioux City.
When the Iowa delegation assemblies
here for the extra session "A caucus
will be held and If an agreement can be
reached by a majority Of the members,

immigration figures are becoming more
important each year, and there has long
been desire on the part of the officials
10 keep them in the most improved
manner, so as to be accessible upon
short notice.
The figures will be taken direct
from the manifests of the ships landing
at the ports of entry. and after the
work is once thoroughly started It is
not thought there win be much extra
labor involved. BY utilizing the advan-
tages offered by the Census Bureau,
those who have been studying immi-
grafton from the standpoint of it's ef-
fects upon the country. anticipate learn
ing many new facts OF vital interest.
Religious Census Postponed
The Philippine census, and the neces-
sity for making arrangements for tax
ing care of the immigration statistics
have caused Director North. OF the
Census Bureau. to postpone the begin
ming Of the religious census until after
the first OF the year. The religious cen
sus VIII be the most complete OF the
kind ever taken. and Director North has
decided not TO jeopardize it's success by
accommodating the statistics before the
