FACTS ABOUT !: s:
!: THE CENSUS.

The thirteenth census of the United
States will be taken on April 10, 1910.
Heretofore it has been taken on June
/, but the change has been made on
the suggestion of Director North, who
believes that the earlier date will yield
much more accurate results. 80 many
people, especially in the large cities.
go to the sea shore or mountain resorts
before June l that enumerators are
greatly handicapped in their efforts to
obtain the desired informstion.
For the first time in the history of
the country the work will be in charge
of permanent bureau which was es-
tablished five years ago, its advocates
claiming that it would save time and
money. Director North is confident
that the results will amply Justify
these claims, inasmuch as the skeleton
organization thus maintained will have
all the preliminary arrangements com
pleted before the big rush begins.
1t is estimated that the census will
cost the government about ,155 per
capita and require an army of nearly
10000 people, including $50 supervisors,
$500 clerks and $4,000 enumerators,
The total cost will approximate s14,-
100000.
The thirteenth census will be re-
stricted to inquiries relating to popu-
lation, agriculture, manufactures. and
mines and quarries. 1t is provided in
the bill that there shall be a census
of agriculture in 1919, and once every
ten years thereafter, which shall show
the acreage of the principal crops, and
the number and value of domestic ami
mails on the farms and ranges of the
country.
1t is proposed that in 1911 a sum not
to exceed $4,000 shall be expended TO
ascertain the feasibility OF securing in
formation required for making compar-
isons between the number of domestic
animals and the acreage of the princi-
pal crops on the same farms in sue
ceeding years, the returns on which
the comparisons are based to include
for any county at least 20 per cent of
the acreage of the farms in such
county.
The constitution of the United States
requires an enumeration once in ten
years as a basis for the apportionment
of representatives in Congress. The
modern American census, which col
lects statistics relating to every impor-
tant feature of national development,
is the outgrowth of that requirement.
Beginning with six simple questions
relating to population, the amount and
scope of the information secured were
steadily increased until it became too
extensive to be tabulated by hand.

Thousands Return to Work.

From all parts of the country come re-
ports of the resumption of operations by
manufacturing establishments which have
been shut down or the increase of force
by those which have been running under
low Roadway. In Chicago thousands of
men have returned to work at the mills
of the Illinois Steel Company. At To-
rain, Ohio, the National Tube Company
has increased its force by between 5000
and 5000 men, and at other places in the
State rolling mills and rubber companies
have added hundreds of men to their
working forces. At Naugatuck, Conn.
900 employees were added to the force of
the Goodyear Rubber Company, and at
Biddeford, Me-, the Pepperell Manufac-
turing Company is preparing to resume
full time, affecting about 1000 operatives.

there is more effort to widen activity in

further stimulus from largely increased

Hudson River Tunnel Opened.

The first fully equipped train bearing
passengers to pass under the Hudson
river made the trip from Fourteenth
street, New York City, to Hoboken, n. j..
The party consisted of about fifty peo-
pie, mainly railroad officials, bankers and
newspaper men. The trip from station
to station occupied a little over five min
utes, and at the conclusion of the journey
President McAdoo announced that the
tunnel would be opened for general traffic
on Feb % The ca rs and general equip
ment show high degree of development
in the way of appliances for securing
comfort and safety. The rolling stock
is fireproof from trucks to roof, the doors
are operated by pneumatic power and an
automatic book system makes collision
of telescoping of trains almost an impos-
sibility. Thorough ventilation is secured
by an ingenious system which compels
each train to act as pistol, drawing the
atmosphere after it, thus keeping con-
slant current through the tunnel without
the aid of expensive fans.

.CH|CAGO'S CHIEF OF
POLICE IS ATTACKED.
Shippy Receives Knife Stab and
Son Is Shot, but He Stays
His AsSaiIant.
FIGHT IN HOME OF THE VICTIMS
Desperate Assassin Approaches Off,
cial on Pretext of Presenting Let

Chicago's chief of police, George NJ.
Shippy, was stabbed in the right side,
his son, Harry, 10 years old, was prob
ably fatally shot in the left lung, and
his driver, James Foley, was wounded
in the right wrist by desperate assas-
sin who attempted to kill the head of
the police department in the front hall
way of his home early Monday. The
assassin was himself killed by the
chief, who fired bullet into his right
temple The assassin is declared to
have been an anarchist and may have
been the leader Of a plot aimed at 9th
ers besides the chief. Mrs. Shippy and
the chiefs daughter, Georgia, ID years
old, were eyewitnesses o! the tragedy.
The supposed anarchist called at the
chiefs residence an hour before the
shooting and was denied admttance by

sa7.OoO.oOO in Certificates.

According to statement prepared by
President Alexander Gilbert of the New
York Clearing House Association for pub
LEGATION in Appleton's Magazine from Oct.
% to the close of December, 1907, the
association issued certificates TO the
amount of S97,000,000. These were not
all in use, however, at any one time, and
Mr. Gilbert places the amount actually
utilized by the banks to effect their ex-
changes at $74O00,0O0 The retirement
of these certificates has been rapid and
the amount now outstanding is much be-
low the above figures. The issuance of
these certificates, Mr.. Gilbert says, fur
nishes the best object lesson of an emer-
gency currency, one that is perfectly Sc
cure and which can be put into effect
without any complicated bank machinery.

struck the ground near the Shah's auto
mobile. This missile, in exploding, kill
ed the three outriders, wounded the
chauffeur and score of bystanders,
and shattered the vehicle.
The Shah, however was not in his
automobile. He had taken the precau-
ton to send the motor car ahead and
to ride in a carriage farther back in
the procession. The motor car was a
closed one, and it was thought that the
sovereign was inside.
AS soon as the Shah heard the eXplo-
sions he alighted hurriedly from his
carriage and entered a neighboring
house. Here he remained while his
attendants sent word for detachment
of troops The soldiers were rushed to
the scene and formed in front of the

a domestic. He also called at the chiefs
home Sunday morning, but Shippy was
not home.
Chief Shippy had called for his buggy
and his driver, Foley, was seated in
the rig, when the man, who looked like
a SiciIian or Jew, rang the doorbell.
The chief himself answered the sum-
mons and confronted the man. The
stranger thrust an envelope into Ship
py's hand and said:
"Here is a note l bring YOU"
The chief, whose suspicious Lad been
aroused, grasped both of the mans
hands and calling to his wife told her
to search him. AS Mrs. Shippy ran for
ward the man wriggled away, but her
hand closed over a revolver in his over
coat pocket.
Hes got one!' she screamed. Look
out, George, for your life!'
Shippy, who had drawn his revolver,
pointed it at the man, who knocked
Mrs. Shippy aside and drew his weap-
on. He raised it to fire at her in his
rage and the chief shot him in the arm
as the woman lodged behind some tap
estry. Foley had heard the shots and
came running up the steps, as did
Georgia, the daughter. who had just
left the house. The two jumped into
the group of struggling fighters while
Harry Shippy, the chiefs son, came

In the meantime, the assassin had
drawn knife, seven inches long, with
which lie stabbed the chief. Shippy
lodged back, but received the blow in
his right side. The anarchist then
turned and fired at the driver, shatter-
ing his right wrist.
The enraged assailant turned and
fired at Harry Shippy, who was half
way down the landing. The bullet
struck the youth above the heart and
pierced his lung Chief Shippy and
Foley. enraged as they saw the boy
fall down the stairs. fired seven shots
into the would-be assassin, who fell
dead at their feet
Mayor Busse admitted after the
shooting that he had elected man
from his office early in the day who
had acted in a queer manner and per-
sistently demanded TO see him. and As
sistant Chief Schuettler started to work
on the theory that the attempted muir
der may have been a carefully concoct-
ed plot on the part of anarchists.

Great Britain Preparing for Sinister
Emergency in That Country.
1t is by roundabout means that En-
glishmen usually learn first of crises
within the empire. Such warning
comes now in the shape of orders from
the British war office to the officers of
auxiliary forces Throughout Great Brit
ain. They state that mobilization must
be made Immediately possible and the
recipients are instructed to be prepared
to join forces on receipt of telegraphic
orders.
They must keep the adjutants in
formed of their movements and not 90
beyond the reach of kilograms. Ground
for this extraordinary action is the
fact that the government is alarmed by
the growing unrest in India. The war
Office completed scheme of throwing
q large force of men into that country,
numbering, if necessary, the entire reg
ular army. The auxiliary forces will
then be used on garrison duty in all
parts of the empire whence the regu-
lars are withdrawn.
The danger of an uprising in India,
prompted by the Transvaal's treatment
of Indian residents, has grown rapidly,
as was inevitable. and the government
is compelled to prepare for any emer-
geney. A sinister turn has been given
to the situation by certain comments.
1t has been limited the last few days
that the action of the Boer majority in
the Transvaal was actuated by a de-
sire to embroil the home government
with India. This Interpretation of
Boer motives in return for British mag
nanimity in giving home government to
the Transvaal is not widely accepted,
even by the governments critics.
