FIRST FIGURES CLOSE
Table Published Previous to Final
Check Was by Precincts.

Final official census returns for Min
neapolis and Hennepin county, issued
today by Secretaryof State Hanson,
serve to emphasize the accuracy OF the
detailed statement pub1ish ed exclusively
by The ourna1 on July Had
been carried down into precincts, the
accuracy Of The Journals figures
would have been further emphasized, in
asmuch as 10 per cent of the precincts
were completed and officially closed on
July 1.
J ournal published the official re-
meration Of names practically ceased,
there were many names yet in the Of
fee of the bureau which remained to
be checked over, and if previously
missed. added to the schedules. It is
significant fact that not one ward
shows decrease from T he u r.
a rs official figures Of July /. Further
more, the change in the several wards
with one or two exceptions, is so slight
that no perceptible change is made in
the percentage of gain.
L he Ournal's statement Of July
is the only detailed statement by
wards and precincts on that date.
Furthermore, no other twin city paper
has published such statement. Flat
| gueSSeS and estimates were published In
other papers, but no other publication
secured the official returns at that time
or subsequently, until, today, when they
were given out to all the newspapers
! by the secretary of state.
The ward and precinct table pub
lished in The Journal July l, was
Of interest in that it showed in just
what districts the gains had been made.
| In this respect their interest and value
has not been. lessened by the final Of
fetal returns made public today. The
greatest and smallest gains are in ex-
actly the same districts as shown by
The Journals table Of July 1.
The following table will show where
the additions have since been made in
the process Of sorting and checking the
individual slips that remained to be
counted after July l. The greatest gain
is in the fourth ward, which is largely
a downtown ward, thickly settled, and
containing many persons who are away
daytimes and were, therefore missed
! by the regular enumerators. Outside of
this ward, the additions made by the
two weeks check were considerably
smaller, ranging down to sixteen in the
seventh ward.

BUCKS RETURN TO
MINNESOTA CERTAIN
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, July pa telegram
was received at the state department
this morning from Governor johnson,
stating that the sheriff of Blue Earth
county, Minnesota, had started from
St. Paul with extradition papers for
Alfred Buck, under arrest. in Havana.
He is due. here tomorrow afternoon, but
no business can be transacted until
Monday, as the department will close
at noon. Department officials say there
need be no hurry over this matter, as as
under extradition with Cuba, Buck will
be held sixty days for delivery to a
representative Of the state Of Mime
sofa. Officials brand as absurd Buck 8
claim that his apprehension was lille
gal, as he was in Cuba before the
treaty went into effect; they say man
can be arrested for crime committed
in another country at any time after
the treaty is ratified, no matter if he
went there before or after the treaty
took effect. The extradition treaty
with Cuba was ratified in February.

both as to the excellent showing and
the thoro and excellent systematic
methods which resulted in the best
census Minneapolis ever secured. It is
a. difficult thing to count people, espe-
cially so in large city, where there
are conditions that battle the most
watchful and vigilant enumeration. It
is very easy matter to count some OF
the people at any given time, but it is
the people at any given time. Such a
contamination was not even realized in

"Supervisor Rain has demonstrated
his fitness and ability in many ways and
has proved himself a very thoro and
painstaking official, but he could have
accomplished but little without the very
hearty cooperation of the wide-awake
business men identified with the Com
mercial club of Minneapolis. I think
they are satisfied with the work. I
know the state census bureau is, and
wish to say right here that all major
and minor civil divisions Of the state
received square deal, 50 far as it has
been possible for the bureau to give
them the same.
"Duluth and st. Louis county returns
are .expectea today, and the count for
St. Paul will be in in a very short time.
I want it distinctly understood that I
have no time for any innuendoes or in
situations rejecting upon the character
of the census work in St. Paul. SUI
pervisor Warner was ready to make his
final returns to the state census bureau
over a week ago, but the Commercial
club committee desired a further check
and that they have been allowed, and
Mr. Warner will be given time to COM
plete this check. The business men Of
st. Paul and it's citizens are entitled to
every consideration, and such they will
receive.
