names Of the heads of the families In
the first census in those states is to
be published.
A complete set OF the schedules for
each state, with a summary for the
counties, and in many cases for towns,
was filed in the state department, but
unfortunately they are not now com.

Delaware. Georgia, Kentucky, New
Jersey, Tennessee. and Virginia hav.

burned the capitol at Washington dur
ing the war Of 1912. For several OF
the states OF which schedules are lack.
ink It is probable that the director OF
the census could obtain lists which
would present the names Of most OF
the heads Of families at the date OF
the first census.
In Virginia, state enumerations
were made in 1882, 1888. 1884, and
1885, but the lists on file In the state
library include the names for only
thirty.nine of the seventy-eight coun.
ties into which the state was divided

derived from the schedules was 1921,
533. The only names appearing upon
the schedules, however, were those OF
heads OF families, and as at that
period the families averaged six per.
sons, the total number was approx
mately $4,000, or slightly more than
half a million The number OF names
which is now lacking because Of the
destruction of the schedules is ap

schedules containing about 100000

Hundred Thousand Dollars the
Total Sum Taken.

innate, through a series OF trunk rob
berries in that borough 1t is not
known whether the plot to steal from
the express company extended to
Manhattan and elsewhere.
According to detectives. the Adams
Express company has been robbed by
clever system OF counterfeit checks
and tags made by a printer who was
In league with a number Of trunk
thieves. When a trunk which was TO
be stolen was given TO a driver at
some depot in Brooklyn the driver
would put on the trunk bogus check

Editor Osborne of the New Haven
 Journal-Courier as Trumbull in the
 New York Herald, again paid his re- spects to Congressman Lilley. He warns the republican party that it is taking a great chance if it nominates him for governor this fall. To be sure Editor Osborne is a democrat, one of the kind that is said never had any use for Bryan, and of course help ed to defeat him, but as "Trumbull" he talks from an independent stand point. Nearly all the other demo- cratic editors of the state have been sticking to Congressman Lilley like a long lost brother. Perhaps they think he will be easier to defeat than Woodruff or Lake, and for that req son would like to see him nominated. Editor Osborne still elings to his for mer position, that Lilley didn't prove and that the editors that are criticising the Boutell committee have not read all the report of the submarine committee and are there fore not competent to pass judgment on 1t.

DEFENSE AGAINST JUSTICE.

The case of William F. Walker of New Britain is becoming a scandal against justice. It was nearly six months ago that this colossal embez- zler was captured on Mexican soil. He is still on Mexican soil. Neither his identity nor his guilt is denied. And yet, although it was last Decem- Der when the hide-and-seek game in which Walker was the star came to a sudden end in Lower California, the looter of the Savings bank of New Britain is still staving off extra dition. All sorts of legal Mexican technicalities have been resorted to. Walker is still employing the judicial processes as an instrument for evad- ing justice. All the resources known to criminal lawyers and all the de- vices that can be converted into legal loopholes are being exploited in his behalf. How much longer ne will be able to clog the cogs of justice we do not know. Nobody knows. Walker is still entitled to the benefit of the safeguards which the law throws about accused persons, but the man. ner in which he is exhausting far fetched technicalities in order to de- feat plain justice is calculated to in- spire a good deal of public fatigue. A judicial system which supplies op- portunities for such unreasonable de- lays needs to be revised. Walker is seeking to compound offeuses against New Britain with offenses against ustice.--Hartford Times.

That a mere woman" can possess genuine business ability without im- pairing her birthright of feminine charm was demonstrated to the con- viction of members of the National associations recent convention Mrs had the pleasure of meeting at the associations recent convention Mrs Clark Fisher, the remarkable woman who for nearly seven years has been sole proprietress of the firm of Fisher & Norris, makers of anvils and vises at Trenton, N. J. Until the appear anee of Mrs Fisher at the guest ta- ble of the convention banquet, few If any, members of the association knew that this firm was managed by woman. A number of the manu- lecturers had been personally ac- quainted with the late Captain Clark Fisher, a distinguished inventor and officer in the United States navy. That his widow had, upon his death. as- sumed entire management of the business came as a genuine surprise. Captain Fisher lost his life in the ter rible railroad wreck at Menlo park in New Jersey in 1902. Previous ,o this, however, he had been so i'll that he could not attend the business and it was at that time that Mrs Fisher stepped into her husbands place as head of the firm.

BREWERS CONVENTION.
Makers of Beer Will Discuss the Pro-
 Intuition Movement.

Milwaukee, June s.-Prohibition in all It's phases will be discussed at the annual convention of the United States Brewers association which opened here to-day. A number Of well known speakers from all parts of this country and England have been secured for the programme and these speakers will take up the pro hibition question and discuss It not only from the brewers standpoint. but from every other point of view. It is also probable that the brewers will decide on some future policy to pursue regarding the agitation against the saloon that is now sweeping the country. For years the brewers made no effort to stem the agitation against their interests. They allowed the prohibitionists to make all sorts of wild statements without eontradIcting the same and they feel now that the time has come In which to present to the public the brewers side of the question. In connection with this an organized fight is now being made in various parts of the country toward q general houseclesn- inz for a better class of saloons, and at the coming convention plans for still further elevstIng the standard of the saloon business will be dis cussed. In fact. the principal busi- ness of the entire convention will be Esven over to a consideration Of the prohibition movement
 Separate and distinct from the brewers convention there will be meeting Of the various allied trades that do business with the brewers. and at this meeting steps against pro hibitIon also will be taken. though this organization Is not in any way under the control of the brewers in- terests

atives of the allied trades. The con- vention proper will open tomorrow morning with an address by Presi- dent Julius Liebmann and by Mayor David s, Rose of this city. They are to be followed by an address by J. Topham Richardson, representing the British Brewers society, and one of the largest hop merchants in the world. MT Richardson is treasurer of the British Brewers society. He will speak on the subject of the H. censing bill of England and explain the principle of compensation. Charles J. Schmidt of Chicago, repre- senting the United States Brew Mas ters association, will also speak, af- ter which the reports of the various committees will be received. At the public meeting to be held on Tuesday afternoon at the Alhambra theater, a number of we'll known speakers will address the meeting. Among them are Arthur Brisbane, we'll known journalist of New York; E. J. Cid dings, candidate for governor of Okla homa; ex-Governor George w. Peck of Milwaukee,; Judge J. A. Caldwell of the juvenile court of Cincinnati; o. J. Renner, probation officer of Cin- cinnati; Henry Fink, collector of in- ternal revenue, Milwaukee,; Mayor David s. Rose, Milwaukee, and J. Topham Richardson of London. In the evening the Milwaukee brewers have arranged smoker at which number of speeches also will be made. The general meeting of the conven- tion will be held on Wednesday at which the various questions will be considered and officers elected. In the afternoon an excursion will be held. s-...
 It is safe to say that this meeting of the brewers convention will be one of the most important ever held by the association, and it's deliberations are being watched with much inter- est throughout the country.
