The remark was made in response

HARD TRIAL Of A DALLAS BOY
Young Blackwell Is BrutaIIy Haudled
by Defective in New York.

New York, Sept 4.--De, laring
that he will break" the detective
at whatever cost, Nicholas I. Black
well of Dallas. Texas, appeared at
police headquarters early yesterday
TO prefer complaint against Detec-
tive Alexander Nicolay, who, he
charges brutally assaulted his son
when arrcsting him, without cause.
Mr.. Blackwell's son is only four
teen years old and was going along
Broadway with his parents. As they
were crossing Twenty-third street,
the boy seeing an automobile hurried
across the street ahead of it, while
the parents allowed the auto to pass
first They became separated in the
crowd
Young Black kwell ran into the
arms of detective, who mistakinp
him for some one else said; Come
along" Young Blackwell believing
he was in the HANDS of a kidnapper
struggled to release himself. The de-
tective threw the struggling boy tc
the sidewalk and put his foot on his
chest to keep him down.
Two ladies' interfered and remon-
strated, hut young Blackwell was
hustled to the police station, where
the officers mistake was discovered.
The assault was so brutal that
several ladies and gentlemen follow
ed the detective and boy 20 police
hoadque rters, and when the boy
was rele;tacd, escorted him to the
Eotel Victoria, where his parents
were found almost in state OF
! frenzy over his disappearance
Mr. Blackwell knows the colebi a
/ ted Martin w Littleton and asserts
that he will engage him to prosecute
the case.

This Estimate OF Census Bureau Does
Not Include Territories.

Washington. Sept. At develops
that the census bureau, after care
full preliminary estimate of the pop

ceeding to take the forthcoming
census on the calculation that the
census will show for the forty-siX
states, not including the Territories
of Arizona, New Mexico. Hawaii and
Alaska, total population of So
$4,000.
The census for forty-five states
in 1900 showed an aggregate of ~
6O7,225. Since then Oklahoma and
Indian Territory have beeR added
as one state. This estimate allows an
increase for Texas of approximately
a half million.
The present ratio of representa-
ton in the house to population is
one representative for each 4,00O
persons. At that rate the new appor-
tionment would give the house AGE
members, against 39l members as
at present constituted. Under this

In the event some person files on a tract now held by party who has acquired settlers right, he will merely have to wait for ninety days.

 the lands lying in or near the Miami
 district, west of Globe.
 It will be remembered that about
 three months ago. there was gen.
 eral understanding that these lands
 would be opened about this time and a
 line was formed in the corridor of the
 Fleming building. which houses the
 land office. of applicants prepared to
 wait three months if necessary to pro
 tect the order of their priority in
 making application. Secretary of the Interior Ballinger came here shortly
 after and saw the lineup. He told the
 men in waiting to go home, that nOth- ing would be gained by waiting. rath CT intimating that it was not the de- sire of the department to encourage such a move The line thereupon dis banded.
 The reason for the ruling by the sec retary was that such lineup prac- tically crowds out the homeseeker. who as a rule is not able to hire a crew of men to stand guard for him day and night for three months. The money it would cost him would buy a nice little piece of land. It would naturally leave the way open to cor porations or men of wealth. to secure their choice of lands. To prevent this result. instructions are now issued to the effect that all who are in line at 9 o'clock on the morning of Dec. 22 will be treated as having been there simultaneously. If there are g. 50 or 100 of them it will be all the same. They will then enter in order and make their filings. If it shall transpire that more than one shall select any particular parcel of land the said land will be auctioned to the high est bidder. only those who have ap- piled for the land being allowed to bid This. it is believed. will be as fair as | the matter can be arranged. It is not expected there will be many cases of conflict of interest but where such a situation arises the poor man will have | an equal chance with his wealthy l competitor. and if the tract is espe- | cially desirable the government will
 be the gainer by getting more for the land.
 The instructions also protect those l who have acquired rights by settle
 ment, as follows: Those who made

MOVEMENT FOR MORE UNIFORM LEGISLATION
Convention To Be Held In Washing ton By the National Civic
 Federation

B. A. Fowler. as president of the
 National Irrigation congress. has re- ceived a letter from Seth Low. presi-
 dent of the National Civic Fedora
 tion, announcing the calling of a
 convention on the subject of uniform Legislation, To be held in Washington.
 D. C., January 17-I9, inclusive. The letter requests the appointment of five delegates duly authorized as repre- sentatives of tine congress. The let
 ter states that no action by the con-
 vention will be binding upon those
 who take part. it's object being edu- csifional.
 The letter also states that the pres- ident of the United States is SO
 deeply impressed by the importance of. the subject that he has agreed to
 make the opening address at the con- vention. A single paragraph of the letter concisely states the, idea that suggested the calling of the conven- tion. It is as follows:
 "The subject of uniform legisla- tion by the states is one of the most important practical questions before the country. It becomes more and
 more clear every day that there are
 many subjects as to which the pub Iic interest suffers because of the lack of uniform legislation thereon. It Is also clear that. unless the states can deal with these subjects in substan- tially uniform manner, the tendency toward further ccntralizatIDr of power in Washington will grow too strong to be resisted
