PREPARING NEW
 CENSUS FIGURES
CENSUS BUREAU WILL MAKE ES- TlMATES ON INCREASES IN CITIES OF MORE THAN 10000 POPULATION.

Washington. April 14-(Special) 1.-The Census Bureau officials are now in cor respondence with officials in cities of over ten thousand population to obtain from them information as to the extension of city limits and increased population through such extension in the last five years The figures will be used in the esti- mates of population which will be is- sued in June
 An easy method of estimating popula- tion is used by the bureau. It is this: From the census figures of 1900 subtract the csnsus figures of 1890. Divide the re- mainder by 10. Multiply the result by the number of years which have elapsed since 1900. Add the product to the census figures for 1900. Then you have 1t. 1t Is a method which can readily be put in practice by fourth grade student In possession of the census figures for 1890 and 19jO Should the city annex territory in the meantime, the population thus annexed is taken into account. No other circumstance Is taken into account unless 1t be proved that the census of 1900 or the census of 1890 for the place in question has been defective

BELASCO SPRINGS
 ANOTHER SURPRISE
ExPLODES BOMB IN kLAW & ER- HANGERS CAMP BY ASKING TO HAVE BOOKS OF THE FIRM PRO- DUCED.

New York, April 14-The suit of David Belaseo, the playwright against Klaw & Erlanger which has been on trial for week past In the supreme court, and which has had many sensational features, assumed a new phase today Up to this time the only record which had made Its appearance In the case was con tract between Klaw X Erlanger and sev- eral others, concerning the control of many theatres throughout the United States.
 Today, however. Samuel Untermeyer. counsel for Belasco, asked that the de- fendants produce their books to shoneex- actly what dealings the eo-partnership had had with Belasco and others, who had been mentioned during the progress of the trial.
 If the court will permit me, said Law yer Untermeyer in making the request, l will show that Klaw & Erlanger have the most remarkable set of books which ever has been produced here' He claim ed that changes have been made in the books since the Belasco litigation began. This request met with the strongest op- position rom the ue1endantS, ana the seS- sion resolved itself practically into a legal battle between MT. Untermeyer and Abra ham Gruber, Klaw os Erlanger's coun- sel. At times the exchanges between the attorneys became so sharp that the court was compelled to rap repeatedly for or der.
 The trouble began during the examina- ton of Myer w. Livingston, auditor for Klaw X Erlanger He had produced copies of certain statements covering cer- tain dealings between his firm and Belas- co. In the cross-examlnation MT. Unter- meyer drew an admission from the wit ness that some of the copies were not complete, and he then asked leave to ex- anime the books from which the copies were made. He said he wanted to show that Klaw X Erlanger were paid about Sl3,000 by Belasco from the profits of the Warfield venture during the months of March, April and May. 1902 He said he could show by the books that the money was paid direct to Klaw & Erlanger and not to Brooks. Counsel for the plaintiff was given permission to look at certain items Tn the books.

Thanks Texas for Kindness.

Folsom, N. M. April 1EPresident Roosevelt bade goodbye to Texline this morning, speaking as follows;
 q want to greet the people of Tex as. Also I want to say goodbye to all the good people of Texas. I want to say that I appreciate to the limit the kind ness with which 1 have been treated in Texas. It has been to me the greatest pleasure to go through this great state. Two years ago I went to the Pacific slope I have been to the north, south east and west in this great country of ours. and while there are slight differ ences between the people in one place and those in another. the fundamental thing that strikes me wherever l go' Is that down at the bottom. if you get at him, the average American is pretty decent fellow.
 "I believe that about all that is nee essary is to get one American to know another; to have them get on well in government. There is not any remarka- ble genius or remarkable brillancy need ed; what is needed in governing ourselves Is the exercise of just exactly the same qualities that makes a man decent neighbor, decent husband, decent father. If that Is the type we have in our representatives we are going to have success. We cannot afford to barter such qualities as honest. as courage, as common sense for any amount of bril- liancy or genius. We need in public life as we need in private life, the same qualities that have been needed since his tory began. If man has got the right stuff in him, if he is honest so that you can deal with him on square basis If he is game, if he has common sense, he Is going to make a decent man in public life and a decent man in private life
