SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
NEWS BUREAU,

Room 45, Kellogg Building,
Washington, D. G: Director Of
the Census North is already con-
sidering plans for taking the
census Of 1910, and it is expected
that it will be the most complete
and accurate census in the his
tory of the country. This will
result from the fact that the
census Office is now a permanent
bureau and, instead of having
to organize from the ground up
for the next census: all that will
be necessary will be the expan.
sion Of the present well trained
force. A matter that will be
considered in connection with
the census of 1910 will be the
possibility of obtaining more &C
curate vital statistics and data
from which the relative rate of
increase in population in differ
ent localities and for different
races can be determined. 1t is
believed that if reliable data can
be obtained some interesting
facts will be disclosed as to the
relative rates of increase of the
white and negro races. Pro
fossor Wilcox. of Cornell Uni
versity. who made an exhaustive
study Of the figures Of the last
census, reached results tending
to show that, even without TAX
ing account of immigration, the
whites are increasing faster than
the negroes. but the great diff
Guilty in the way of arriving at
definite conclusions is the entire
absence of reliable birth statis-
tics and the unrellability of death
records in most localities. It has
been suggested that when the
next census is taken selected
field agents Of the bureau be
sent to points in different parts
of the country to make an eX-
haustive study Of the population
in restricted areas---obtaining
the vital history of each family.
It is believed that if such studies
are made in a considerable num-
Der Of places information can be
obtained which will supplement
the statistics of the regular cen
sus and make it possible to ar
rive at approximately correct
conclusions on many interesting
questions.

Railroad rates in the United
States, after having risen slight

abstract of the statistics of the
railroads Of the country for the

the average passenger rate per
mile for that year was 1862

cents for the year previous. The
average freight rate for 1905 was

June 80, 1906, are available, but
the annual reports of the prln-
cipal roads shows that the gen
eral course of rates in that year
was downward, and the current
wear will show marked reduc-
tions in the average rates, both
for passengers and freight. Since
the passage of the Hepburn law
requiring thirty days notice OF
a proposed change in rates but
authorizing the Interstate Com
merce Commission to modify
this requirement by special or
ders the Commission has COM
piled with scores of requests to
reduce rates on less than thirty
days notice but has received
only one request for permission
to make an increase and that was
a case in which it was desired to
correct rate that had been
made too low by typographical
error in the published schedule,

little doing in the local baseball line ex-

by score of to'3, but the visitors got
their. revenge yesterday, when they
swamped the Sailors by score of 10 to
3. The Royals practically settled yes
terday's contest in the first inning, when
they smashed Mccoy, a new pitcher
who was being tried out. all over the
field and piled up five runs. Mccoy was
formerly a Washington pitcher. Much
was expected from him. He complained
before he entered the box that he was
suffering from malaria. Bronkie, anoth-
er new pitcher. who has Joined Manager
Burnham's new aggregation, was put in
the box. and he,S TOO. proved failure.
Goode, of the Montreal team. was also
obliged to abandon the slab after the
second inning, for the Sailors got on to
him for triple of tallies. The Sailors
got their only runs off his delivery. Wha-
len took his place. He was also unsteady
but the Sailors were unable to score any
more runs.

or further cooperation were needed they
would come to the church's assistance.
If yesterdays game had been allowed
to go On It was the dntention OF the
church folk to apply fersan injunction to
prevent future games. Counsellor JOS
eph M. Noonau, who WAS ON the grounds
yesterday said that in order to secure
such an injunction it would be necessary
to prove that the game at West Side
Park as nuisance This, Mr.. Noonan
centsAded, they could not do, as there
1fe no houses in the immediate vicinity,
and consequently no one could be dis
turbed by the applause of the spectators.
Mr.. Beach said he had been fighting
Sunday baM playing for thirty-fiv years
and thauhe would continue doing so.
Chief Murphy said that as complaints
had been made that the law was being
violated there was no alternative but to
stop the game.
The four men arrested were arraigned
before Police Justice Manning in the
First Criminal Court this morning,
and the justice said he would reserve de
cision until Thursday next, asthe wanted
time to more closely examine the law on
the subject. He said that even recent
Legislatures had been unwilling to mod
ify the law bearing on the subject and
common sense law. The trial started with
the taking of the evidence of Detective
Sergeants Bennett and Pearson, who had
been acting under police orders. Bennett
with Detective-Sergeant Gouger had pur-
chased admission tickets.
Counsellor Joseph Noonan, represent
ing the prisoners, said he admitted his
clients were technically guilty and that
the game had been arranged to test the
legality or illegality of Sunday base ball
playing. He savagely attacked the va
lidity of the Vice and immortality act,
which he said, had been passed over one
hundred years ago when Christian ladies
and gentlemen enjoyed themselves by
bearIbaiting ON hot hearth-stones. s'Our
ancestors, who passed the law he said,
had no sympathy for the bear, but OBJ
jected to ladies and gentlemen enjoying
themselves. The best we can do to in
sure respect for our ancestors is to ig-
more this law. If the law was strictly
construed one could not even ride on a
trolley car OF driye.a horse or an auto
mobile except to church, to a Doctors
home or TO deliver mail Base ball in the
days that law was passed, was not even
dreamed of. Ball playing at the park
where arrests We're made is not a nuis-
anee and the community in general, with
the exception of a comparatively few in
dividuals who constitute the guardians of
public morals, favor it. Even many local
ciergymen have spoken in its favor if the
game is properly conducted. 1t keeps
young men from evil places and gives
those who are shut up in factories and
business offices six days in the week an
opportunity to enjoy the open air and
recreation in enjoying the national game.
Much money has been spent in provid-
ing place for such innocent amuse-
ment"
Justice Manning called attention to the
prohibiting clause in the Vice and I'M
morality act .for any other kind of play
ing" Justice Manning's decision next
Thursday is looked forward to with much
interest.

one of the most valuable letters of the
whole collection.

Interesting from historical stand
point, as well as from the personal side
of the man displayed, is the letter of
Colonel John Nelson, commanding de-
tachments of the New Jersey militia.
The document is dated at Elizabethtown
May %, 1779, and is directed to the
Governor of New Jersey. Colonel Neil
son writes that the number of militia he
has at hand is not sufficient to handle the
situation without danger. He ends by
expressing hope that Washington
would send him a few companies.
Elizabeth was also a source of uneas-
mess to Others, for there is letter on
the subject signed by William Alexander

Aleyersville, in Morris County. Although
peer, he was ardent in the American
cause He writes twice to Colonel Elias

the author of an interesting document
that has some important information for
time. 1t is written from Let's Farm,
July IL, 1777, near Morristown, and is
directed to Colonel Elias Dayton at Eliz-

'.The Army marched from Morris

will move forward in the Morning. If
the Enemy make any move either up the
North or East Rivers be pleased to send
