CITIES IN 1910.

We are four years away from the
next Federal census, but the statistic
al prophets are busy with estimates,
computations and forecasts of the
population of the cities in 1910. Esti-
mates of the growth of the urban CEN
tres made before the census OF 1900
were approximately correct in many
instances. The Census Bureau pins
its faith to q certain law respecting
the rate of increase Of population de-
duced from previous census figures.
Much interest therefore attaches to an
estimate, published in the New York
Sun, of the population of fifteen cities
at the next census, made by an eX-
pert statstician who has had extended
experience in the Census Bureau.
The figures are based upon the past
rate of growth, city directories, police
censuses and upon the increase in the
number of dwellings. The tremend-
Gus building operations in the great
cities for some years past show that
there has been no pause in the yearly
increase Of population. According tc
this authority, New York in 1910
will have a population of 4, 437, 202,
gain of 100000 Chicago, firm.
Iy holding second place, will contain
2,29S, 575 inhabitants, gain Of 600,
600. Philadelphia will follow witt
1,S1S,6J7, a gain of 525, 000-a re-
latively greater increase than that O
Chicago. st. Louis will make an ex.
cellent showing, with 975, 236, gaiI
of 400,0 900. Boston will stand in the
fifth place-740, 892-a gain of lS0,
600. Cleveland, with COL, ,76S, vii
closely press Baltimore, with 6SS, 957
The Sun correspondent commenting
upon the figures, observes that the
statistician does not allow New York
and Chicago any material increase
over their gain in 1900. "Philadel
phia fares better, because its gain il
1900 was comparatively small. "
The estimates of the population ot
some of the minor cities show surpris
ing growth. Thus Los Angeles vii
have 212, 479 inhabitants in 1910, {
gain of 10000. The city will have
doubled its population in ten years
Kansas City is credited with 303, 1852
an increase of 100000. Seattle il
also growing at phenomenal pace
Its population is fixed at 160, |,
gaining 80, in the Ge,ade.- Pnbli'

PROBE POINTS WAY
TO PROSECUTION

HARRISBURG, Feb. 7.-As expect
ed the probe of the insurance depart
ment revealed and the report of the in
vestigating committee strongly urges
prosecutions. The recommendations
seven in number, made by the COM
mittee follow:
"First-That the insurance commits
sioner as well as all other officers, en-
ployees, servants and agents of the
Commonwealth, so far as practicable,
should be on a salaried basis and that
all fees now authorized or hereafter to
be authorized by law, should be paid
by the commissioner to the State trea-
surer for the use of the State.
"Second-That the actuary of the in
surance department. should be an offic-
er of the Commonwealth required to
act exclusively in that capacity, for
which he should receive salary of
So, 900 per annum and be provided with
an adequate corps of competent assist
ants to he on salaried basis.
SHOULD BE STATE OFFICIALS.
"Third-That instead of examiners
of insurance companies being selected
promiscuously and paid by the COM
panies examined one or as many ex-
aminers of insurance companies as may
be necessary should be salaried officers
of the Commonwealth and that the
cost of the examination of the insur-
| ance companies when made by him
should be upon fixed rate proportion
ate to the work done and its cost paid
into the State treasury for the use of
the State.
| "Fourth-Fees and charges of the
insurance department and taxes paid
by insurance companies should be re-
duced, so as to lessen the burden upon
| the policy holders.
| Fifth-There should be complete
reorganization of the clerical force in
the insurance department and the pre-
sent system of allowing the insurance
commissioner to draw upon the State
treasurer for any sums he may consid
er necessary as an expense of the office,
be abolished.
DEMAND ARREST OF GUILTY.
| "Sixth-Provision should be made
for a quarterly audit of the accounts of
the various State officials receiving
money or having in their control or
subject to their charge any contingent
fund either by special officer constitu-
ted by law for the purpose or special
assistant in the office of the auditor
general.
Seventh-The committee further
recommends to the attention of the
governor and the attorney general the
testimony given which may tend to es-
tablish malfeasance by former COM
missioners George B. Luper, James III.
Lambert, Israel W. Durham and their
subordinate, and especially in so far
as it relates to the receiving of part
of the actuary's compensation during
their respective administrations. and
also to the testimony that during the
administration of Israel w. Durham,
the State was defrauded by vouchers
being granted and payment made for
services which had never been render
ed or for which there was no legal
liability.

LIE PASSED
IN THE HOUSE

HARRISBURG, Feb. IA new
uniform primary bill was introduced
in the house this morning by Mr..
Howard, of Cameron. 1t does not differ
materially from other similar bills.
The Shren amendment to the Built
bill, taking Philadelphia employees out
of politics, was passed finally.
The house this morning definitely
fixed February 10, as the date for ad-
journment sine die.
The Hoke bill, limiting to $3.50, 900
the amount to be annually spent on
bridges, by the board of public grounds
and buildings, was amended slightly
and passed on third reading.
When the Cook Greater Pittsburg
bill, as amended in the senate, came
up in the house, Mr.. Cook asked that
the house concur.
Mr.. Henderson, of Allegheny, fought
concurrence, asserting that his amend
ment, adopted in the house last week,
was equitable and just, and that the
house should not reverse itself at the
request of the senate.
HITCHCOCK IN FAVOR.
Mr.. Hitchcock, of Tioga, stated that
he would vote for concurrence since
Allegheny voters have shown by not
presenting petitions, etc, that they
don't care one way or the other. Mr..
Riley of Allegheny rose to reply to Mr..
Garner, who spoke on the bill.
"The gentleman from Schuylkill, "
said Mr.. Riley, "has declared himself
the champion of the Allegheny county
workingmen. "
Mr.. Garner-"Mr. Speaker, l never
said anything of the kind, and the
gent eman from Allegheny lies"
Mr.. Riley" You did, just while
ago."
Mr.. Garner then explained why he
had voted for the ripper.
The Cook Greater Pittsburg bill was
| finally agreed to.
WORK OF SENATE.
The senate laid on the table mo-
tion to adjourn on February 10, and a
motion to ask the governor to enlarge
his call so that the Legislature may i'll
vestigate state departments and report
at special session of the legislature
on August /, met the same fate.
The senate this morning agreed to a
resolution, providing that copy OF
| the report of the committee that in.
vestigated the insurance department
be sent to the governor and attorney
general for the consideration of the
recommendation therein contained.
The senate passed finally the corrupt
practices act. On second reading wa,
passed the McWhinney representative
c-apportionment bill
Bills passed on first reading were
the house personal registration bill, ant
house bill regulating the deposits o.
state funds.

Library Repairs Progressing.

Repairs in the Thomas Beaver Free
Library are progressing very satisfact-
prily. The walls and woodwork in the
two reading rooms and in the hallway
are being prepared-the walls for the
calcimining and the wood work for
the "doing over" that will give it
the natural lustre it possessed when
new. The gas pipes and the chandeliers
have been taken down and the naked
and torn up apartments bear little re-
semblance to the cozy and nicely ap-
pointed quarters which have afford
ed our townspeople so much pleasure
during twenty years past
The plan to close the building dur
ing the progress of the work-which
may occupy three weeks or more-as
decided upon at first may be modified
somewhat. The removal of the gas pipe
and the chandeliers makes it impossi-
BILE to use the building at night, but
there may be certain stages of the
work when people could be admitted
to the building in the daytime with
out interfering with the work. On the
whole it does not seem unlikely that
during the progress of the repairs some
such arrangement may be made that
will enable patrons to return books
due and take out new ones.
The library was closed Monday and
yesterdays a large placard on the door
settinr forth the reason for keeping
the building closed. The library will
also be closed today and not unlikely
during the rest of the week.
Whether the library will be open or
closed on any particular day will de-
pend wholly upon future contingencies
The whole matter is in the hands of
the trustees, able and conscientious
men, who will do the best that is pos
sihle for the public

EVERYWHERE
THE SAME.

1tftf E suppose that every intelligent
1HH citizen has noted that wherever
Republican management OF
public trusts is looked into nowadays,
when those trusts have long been in
the hands of the manager of the Re-
publican machine, gross corruption
appears. 1t poured forth in great
volume when the Philadelphia ulcers
were punctured.
1t is pouring out profusely in the
present inquiry into the sta'e insur,
ance department management; where
in it is discovered that the Insurance
companies yielded up whatever was
demanded of them, as submissively
as the traveller over the Western
plains is wont to throw up his hands
to the highwaymau. And of Il e mon
ey so squeezed out, no account was
made to the state, but went into the
freebooter's pocll; presumably pass
ing thence, in part, at least, to the
Republican party fund, which was
thus kept overhowing in an easy and
comfortable way. The insurance COM
missioner kept his eyes closed and
took whatever flowed into his hands.
The auditor general shut his eyes and
passed the insurance commissioner 5
bills; which the treasurer blindly
paid.
