NEEON' 7 TELL AGE
To THE POLICEMAN
Say You're Il, More or Less,
That's Enough!
CENSUS BEGINS WEDNESDAY
Commissioner Macfarland Tells of It's
objects-Health and School Sta
tistics Needed.

The first annual police census Of the
District will begin Wednesday.
The District Commissioners are
anxious to have all citizens Of the Dis
trict cooperate with the police in max
ing the venture success.
Commissioner Macfarland, when asked
about the census today, said to a Times
reporter:
The questions to be asked by tn,
police enumerators are so few and so
simple that the duty of the citizen is
an easy one.
AGE Question Modified.
Moreover, the matter of the age of
adults, about which some people are
sensitive, is covered by one question to
which no one can object, since it asks
only how many persons In the premises
are twenty-one years old and upward.
Two important objects are to be at
tained: First, an accurate basis for our
vital statistics, and second, correct
account Of the number Of children of
school age under the proposed new COM
pulsory education law, not now in
school.
Taking the returns Of the last Fed
eTal census as basis, certain statisti-
Glars have figured out that the Dis
trict has very high death rate COM
paratively N certain diseases. notably
tuberculosis. The repeated publication
of these statements all over the coun-
try Is. of course. damaging to our in
terestS.
Not as Bad as Painted
81 do not believe the facts are as bad
rs they have been painted. and I do
believe that a full and complete enum-
Grafton Of our population will show
that our death rate is not so high.
Then again there has been wide
difference of opinion as to the number
OF children of school age out of school,
estimates varying by 100 per cent, and
it is highly desirable we should know
he fact"

CHICAGO, April 10.-"Oh. my dear
husband
why, no, he was my husband
Two women stood beside the casket
of Richard r. Walsh ct the Arlington
Hotel in Aurora and in the exclamations
Quoted sought to prove their title of
wife" Of the man whose lifeless form
occupied the parlor of the hotel.
1t was only after a long argument that
the Aurora woman was convinced she
had been married to a man who had
another wife living In Chicago.
Walsh was formerly on the police
force in Chicago and was discharged
during the Swift administration. He had
a wife. Mary Walsh, who lived at Con-
gress street and F1fty-second avenue,
but they had been living apart for a
number of years.
Had Home in Aurora.
For two years Walsh made his home
In Aurora at the Arlington Hotel. a
hostelry patronized by commercial men.
He made the acquaintance of Mrs. Mary
Dwyer, who owned the hotel, and after
a prolonged courtship in which he pro-
fessed an undying love for the woman,
secured her consent to marry him They
were married six weeks ago by DR.. W.
A. Colledge, dean of the correspondence
department of the Armour Institute.
The bride, who is fifty-three years old,
was attended by her daughters. who
manage prosperous business in their
home town.
Walsh, who had been ailing for long
time, died Wednesday, and a notice of
his death was sent to the Chicago Po-
licemen's Benevolent Association, OF
which he was member.
Second Wife Appears.
Officers Decker and Quinn, trustees of
the association, who knew Mrs. Walsh,
No. /, notified her of her husbands
death, and she accompanied them TO Au-
rora. 1t. was only on her arrival there
she learned that her husband had been
married to Mrs. Dwyer
II went to Aurora to see If Walsh was
really dead" said Trustee Decker last
night He had died so often before that
We wanted to be sure we were not be-
ing deceived. Several years ago we re-
ceived notice of his death in New York,
and when his wife went there to bury
him she met him alive and well at the
depot There will be no trouble about
the insurh nee money. The s., 900 will be
paid to Mrs. Mary Walsh. Mrs. Dwyer
has been so shocked by the discovery
that Walsh had a wife that she has re-
linquished all claim to the policy"

There is an oplinous movement of

hence. The amount, SO say the men who

Wheat Pouring Into Chicago.

From every city, hamlet, and farm in
the West contract wheat in small con-
signments has been rolling into Chicago
for a fortnight. The aggregate is be-
ginning to assume dangerous proportions
to those who have bought the grain for
delivery May 81.
Every private elevator in Chicago and
the Northwest is winnowing contract
wheat out of grain that in it's original
composition falls below grade. Millers
could not afford to grind contract wheat
into -four. The premium paid for it to
meet the demands of the May deal is
so attractive that 1t is going into the
bins for final offer TO the ..bull'' manipu-
lators.
Armour is not alone in the fight against
the Gates contingent. although ne is the
master spirit Other big grain houses
have been steadily preparing coup fo1
the Eastern plungers.
May wheat on Saturday closed 20 GEMS
higher than, July wheat, and 80 GEMS
higher than wheat for September deliy-
cry. At one time during the week the
May premium over July was nearly 80
cents. This insures a heavy profit for
working out every grain of wheat IN
sight, and forces heavy penalty on
the owner whos carries any wheat or
flour over to the next crop.
1t is the prospect for the coming crop
that has made the outlook for the May
deal SO desperate. If the Government
crop report, due this afternoon meets
the trade expectations, ii will show a
winter wheat crop of 4S0e00 600 bushels
or 155, 100000 bushels more than was
raised last season. If this prospect be
realized wheat prices are very near an
import basis despite the duty.
Figures Discouraging to Carrier"
A crop condition of so would mean
a yield of 4S3, 900 bushels The aver
age December condition for the last ten
years was e2.1 Last December the con-
dition was S2.9, owing to the exception
ally dry fall. Since then the conditions
have been ideal. Plenty of snow has
protected the crop against winter kill
ing, and an early spring is bringing the
growing grain out in fine shape.
The large steamer cargoes of wheat
have already left Duluth. These cargoes
were chartered shippers OPTION Chi
cago or Buffalo, and the high prices will
divert them here if the ice in the Straits
of Mackinac can be forced. The passage
of the lower lakes is already open, and
it is only a question of few days when
Minnesota wheat cargOeS can be brought
into Lake Michigan as well.
The firm of c. G. Gates & Co. was
last week admitted to the clearing house
of the Chicago board of trade to be pre-
pared for any emergency in case of
further indisposition of commission
houses to act in the May deal. Several
of the firms whose members were also
officials of the board of trade transfer
red their May deals over to firms that
were not. Knight & Donnelly have late
~ been counted the headquarters Of the
May deal and have handled much of
its business in the pit during the last
week.
