 stadt was through university girl students who frequented public

 Thirty Thousand.

Washington, Aug 9.-Accordingt census just taken by the health de- partment of the isthmian canal zone. the population of the zone is 22,137. As the inhabitants of the zone are constantly moving it was Impossible to enumerate all of them and 1t is thought that the number missed is probably 5000, bring the total up to 27,137. In addition to this the officials point out there should be a liberal allowance, probably 10 per cent, made for persons who live out- side the zone, but are employees of the commission and to all purposes are residents of the strip controlled by the United States. This allowance would bring the total up to almost o0, ,000.
 A census showed the population of the city of Panama was 22,547. A census taken October 31, 1905, show ed population of 20,383 Blacks outnumber the white in all the set- dement's on the canal zone.

HOLDS COURT IN AUTO.
Woman, Who Used Snuff as Wea-
 Don, "Whizzed' to Jail.

pOn, "WhiZZed" to Jail.
 Camden. N. J., Aug 9.-Justice Routh held court in an automobile in the street yesterday.
 The fact may offer suggestion to policemen, in autos who chase over speeding autoists-let the police take along judge and try the offenders the moment they capture them!
 The case here ismore remarkable fin that it adds snuff to the hat pin as a woman's offensive weapon. FL len Develin. fifty years old. was the prisonerfl She was arrestedat Glou- cester charged with assault and bat tery on a boy. She swore she would not go to Camden, and it took six men to subdue her. While they were struggling with her, Mrs Develin emptied her snuff fbox in the eyes of two of her captors, burning them se- verely. Finally she was bound hand and footwlth light rope placed in an autouahile aud whizzed here.
 When the auto arrived at the courthouse Mrs Develin was still fighting fiercely. So. to save the tr0u- ble arcarrying her in andout again, the obliging Justice Routh went out. stood in the drivers seat of the autd asked Mrs Develin some brief ques- tions which she answers with sul. phurous threats. and committed her to ail in default of $J00 bail.
 The woman was taken to jail in the auto. There she fought so VI ciously that 1t was deemed not to loose her bonds.

THE BOY BURGLARS MUST FACE CHARGES The Story of The Numerous Robbelies Will Be Told Tomorrow
 Morning. POLICE HAVE COLD WATCH. Young Boy Says that One of the Two Prisoners Gave
 It to Him.

It Is a pity that parents who make a practice of allowing their children to remain out nights can't spare time to attend the police court tomorrow morning and hear the story that has led to the downfall of James Dowd and Henry Galway. two youngsters who will be arraigned on the charge of having entered several stores and taking therefrom various articles, in- cluding one or two gold watches. The boys are members of clubs with head quarters in the vicinity of Pine hill, to which they are said to have access at all hours of the day and night. It Is likely that the evidence will show that if the youngsters didn't have these hangouts to resort to they might have remained in their own homes and would be free to-day in- stead of having prison sentences star ing them in the face. The names of half dozen besides Dowd and Gal way, both of whom are behind the bars, are mentioned in connection with the robberies, and their fami- lies will be lucky Il they don't get whole lot of notoriety over the affair.
 In their midnight rambles the boys are said to have visited the Cur tiss Art Co and M. H. Hall, the jew eler, the filling Rubber company, the Waterbury Steam laundry, Thomas Heaton's carpenter shop and a few other places. Already some of the stolen stuff has been located where it appears Dowd put it one side for safe keeping and the rest of 1t is coming by degrees. This afternoon youngster turned over a gold watch to the detectives, stating that 1t was given to him by Dowd. The de- tective bureau feels confident that 1t has the real offenders and every body connected with it and are glad to know that the gang is broken up and the principals in safe keeping.
 Dowd admits his connection with some of the cases, but Galway still maintains ignorance of the whole proceedings.
 The police warn all housekeepers against allowing strangers inside their doors, particularly men who seem to be pedlers of household goods.
 A fellow wearing a brown suit contrived by pretending to sell shoe strings to get into number of houses on Pearl street. In one house the fel- low had the temerity to walk in see- ing there was no one in the room on which the door opened. The wo- man of the house was astonished and scared when she entered the room and saw the fellow taking his bear ings. Before she had recovered from her astonishment she was confronted by bunch of shoe strings and at once she was disarmed of all suspic- ion that the fellow was an intruder. That he had considerable audacity to enter the house unbidden did not occur to her then. All that struck her was that the fellow was poor and trying to make living by sell ing shoe strings. Later when she was talking over the occurrence to a neighbor 1t seemed to both that they had stood in the presence of a dan gerous man who had entered their houses for the purpose of stealing.

Rad ford. state grain inspector. who has just returned from Mexico. where he made investigations. asserts that he found conclusive evidence that sew eral Kansas City grain dealers sub tittued inferior grades of wheat after the state grain inspection department has inspected and given grades on the grain in cars.

THE FREIGHT TIE UP
 AT NEW HAVEN aunor That Men Have Agents Out to Start Sympathetic
 Strikes.
THE COMPANY STANDS FIRM
Will Not Give in, Neither Will It Take Back the Striking
 Workmen.

New Haven, Aug 9.-various re- ports were in circulation here to-day In connection with the strike of the 2bO switchmen of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad which went into effect Tuesday. One was that representatives of the strik- CTS had left for various points along the railroad for the purpose of at tempting to organize sympathetic strikes among the switchmen at those places. This report was neither con- firmed nor denied by the strikers here to-day.
 The opening of the third day of the strike finds both sides standing firm, the statement of the railroad yesterday to the effect that none of the strikers would be given back their old jobs having little effect on the men. The strikers, on the other hand. say that if there is no settlement within few days, the yards here will be so tied-up with freight that the loss to the railroad will be great. Very little freight, they claim. has been moved during the past two days. Several men have been sent here from Boston and other railroad points to take the places of the strik- CTS, but few of them have been put to work. There has been no violence or disturbance of any kind in the yards of the company here, in fact the strikers. have spent little time near the scene of their labors, pre- ferring to gather in groups near the center of the city. The company has announced that there will be no con. sessions and that the fight with the strikers will be to the bitter end.
 The coming here of Val Fitzpat- rick, grand master of Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. and George J.. Henry of the general grievance com mittee of the order. may have some effect in bringing about settlement of the strike. MT Henry had talk with the committ,e of strikers to- day and is to have talk with the officials of the railroad this after noon.

 Mir Herink admitted last night that he had made ont this statement and 1t was the one submitted by him to his chief five weeks ago. when he made a demand on Stensland to fix matters uc.
 One of the results of Hering's re- appearance will be that the co-opera- tive store said to have furnished a channel for dissipating nearly s50O.- 900 of the banks funds. will be closed. Receiver John C. Fetzer said this morning that he will ask in structions of Judge Brentano on the disposition of the stock in the store.
