WAN IS STATISTICS,
NOT SCANDALS.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Acting Di-
rector of the Census Rossiter said today
that no ground exists for the general
apprehension throughout the country
that family skeletons and all kinds Of
unpleasant scandals will be exposed by
the collection of divorce statistics. He
declares that no disagreeable results
are possible.
There is absolutely nothing sensa-
tional In the work" said Rossiter 1T
is merely q routine matter with us and
the public will never be any the wiser
as to individual cases when we are fin
ished. We would not think of giving
out any information in that way; in
fact, our records will not even contain
the names Of the divorced persons when
they are complete. It is block statis-
tics that the Government is after and
nothing else It has been reported that
the census agents will have interviews
with divorced persons and ask them
all sorts Of personal questions. Nothing
of this kind will be done. It is esti-
mated that between 10000 and $4,000
cases are recorded for this twenty year
period in each Of the cities of New
York. Chicago and Philadelphia and
that 100000 are recorded in the en-
tire country for this period"

operated to full extent. but which since
the strike has all but shut down, was
surrounded by hooting mob.
A Jew on bicycle struggled out of
the crowd and started off on his wheel.
followed by several thousand pursuers.
He was overtaken and knocked from
his bicycle and pounded on the head.
Wen hang all the Jews on sour
apple tree" shouted the leaders and
stones began to fly. A little girl ran
out of her fathers shop to see what
was the matter and was knocked down
by a brick thrown in the street. Her
skull was fractured. Several people
were seen to drop.

accept the nomination for Governor if
it comes to him in the right way. He
will not be a factional candidate
against Higgins or any one else. but he
would not say nay to unanimous call

How does President Roosevelt feel

Mrs. F. w. Schultz, who died last Mon

asked why so many gold Democrats had
declared themselves for Bryan's candi-

That issue was buried long ago. The
ghost of it in 1900 did not deter many

Rosen. Russian ambassador. last night
said that he had never heard of Mile.
de Smernoff. mentioned as the victim
of cruelties by the chevaliers in St.
Petersburg.
He says the chevaliers are the
mounted guards and carry swords only;
that the report seems incredible. as It
mentions the use of horsewhipS. He
says the chevahers are not Cossacks.
but belong to a different branch of the
service.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Charles Blow
of St. Louis. who is staying at a hotel
in Atlantic City, stated over the long
distance telephone last night that he
doubted whether the Mile. de Smernoff
mentioned in the press dispatches from
st. Petersburg was his cousin. the
niece of Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth Of
Avon. N. Y. and Washington. D. c., and
a cousin Of James w. A. Wadsworth.
Speaker of the Assembly. Blow stated
that he received a letter from the
young woman yesterday, dated in Fin
land, in which she expressed her de-
termination to sail for the United
States and that she would doubtless
reach this country about September l.
Blow said it was possible she had gone
to st. Petersburg, however.

z BERLIN, Aug. 16-At the special re-
quest of the Emperor, Herman Ridder,
editor of the New York Stats Zeitung,
prolonged his sojourn at Wilhelmshoe
for second audience with the Kaiser,
which took place yesterday. The En-
peror spent more than an hour in ami
mated conversation on American topics
He said it was his dearest wish to visit
America and make the personal ac-
quaintance of President Roosevelt
whom he admired intensely, and also to
see the American country and people
Whether such a visit could be made, he
added, depended upon the views of his
ministers and advisors.
The Emperor remarked that when he
proceeded to Scandinavia or the Med
iterranean he was constantly in touch
with the home authorities, and the in
PRODUCTION OF wireless telegraphy i'm
mensely facilitated the prospects of his
visit to America. The Emperor said in
perfect English:
The sooner / can go the better
pleased I shall be-.
