WHOLE FAMILY
SUFFERS FROM
ARSENIC POISON

Auburn. ~ Y, Nov 27.-After
long investigation by physicians and
chemists. II has been determined tina:
the peculiar sickness in the family of
william f. Wait is due to arsenical
poisoning Mr.. Wait is stu very i'll
al the city hospital and his son, Bryan,
who recently was graduated from Yale,
is also confined there in a partially
paralyzed condition. He has lost the
use OF his hands and legs aud physi-
clans say he may not recover in ears.
Rev Harvey, Clements of Clovers-
VILE a SON in law, who recently spent
a few DAYS in the Wait household. was
all ready to go abroad, nut upon
reaching New York was stricken with
the malady and is now confined IN
hospital there in a crippled condition.
AIRS Wait was also desperately i'll for
sey eral days
Tie servants 2I1 the coach man wer,
among the victims OF the disease. All
symptoms pointed conclusively 10 ar
senical poisoning, and as a last re-
sort detectives and the local police
were called into the case, but the
greatest secrecy was preserved.
Analysis of -four. sugar. tea and
other foodstuffs remaining In the
Wait house show the presence OF ar
senic I'm sufficient quantities TO pro-
duce death, indeed. IL is supposed the
victims were given overdoses, for hor-
rible nausea followed meals, and this
may have averted speedy death.
Investigation is still progressing,
but there is not the slightest proof
to indicate the author Of the crime
Mr. Wait is member OF the old car

s. n. ID. North. the director made public
today. relates TO the census OF manufac-
lures OF 1906. 20 the preparation and publ
cation of statistics on municipal nnance
and 10 the collection, tabulation and pub
lication OF prompt and accurate reports
on the cotton crop.
The report shows that the work cost
the government 81 2i9O5. that sum being
s32t G67 less than congress appropriated
for n.
Annual estimates Of the population Of
the various states and territories are
made by the census In order TO establish
death rates In the vital statistics reports
I'm 1896 thirteen states took enumerations
cf the population. t.e total being 25, 1913 236
The estimate OF the census Of the popu-
lation OF those states az tho same time
was 25.1i3.3l1, a difference OF only 1926.
Or North has planned in connection
with the annual municipal reports a series
az statistical studies of important phases
OF municipal development. including parks.
markets. paving. sewers. police and fire
departments, baths schools and libraries.
The report notes. by the fact that the
present aggregate debt OF cities Of the
United States containing over 5000 inhabi-
tants is I'm excess OF loo 900 greater
than that OF the combined debt OF the
national and state governments and OF the
counties. school districts aind other minor
civil divisions"

The report says concerning the cotton
reports that II has been the desire OF the
bureau to bring it's system Of reporting %
the highest possible degree OF efficiency.
"A complete record OF the quantity OF
cotton ginned." II states "is not possible
unless the glnners report accurately the
output of their gins That the great ma
jority OF them do this 7 have no doubt:
that many have failed 10 do so IS made
evident by the distribution report: and In
some sections there are signs OF more or
less concerted purpose TO understate the
ginnngs I'm the hope Of influencing the
current price OF the crop. There can he
no question that the census ginning re-
ports have been worth many millions OF
dollars TO the cotton planters by protect
ing the market from assaults of specua-
tors whose privately gathered statistics
no longer carry weight when they differ
from those OF the census
Director North recommends the enact
ment OF more rigid laws 10 enable census
