YETOES CENSUS BILL.

The president sent 10 the House late
yesterday without approval House bill
1884, entitled can act to provide for
the thirteenth snd subsequent deceunial
censuses." The president says II do
this with extreme reluctance, because l
fully realize the importance of supplying
the director OF the census at as early o
date as psssble with the force necessary
to the carrying on Of his work. Bat it
is of high consequence 10 the country
that tbs statistical work OF the census
shall be conducted with entire accuracy.
This is as important from the standpoint
of business and industry as from the
scientific standpoint. 1t is, therefore,
10 my judgment, essential that the re-
suit should not be open to the suspicion
Of bias on political and personal grounds;
that it should not be open to the reason
able suspicion of being waste of the
peoples money and fraud.
"Section 7 of the act provides 10
effect that appointments to the census
shall be under the spoils system, for
this is the real meaning OF the provision
that they shall be subject only to non
competitive examination. The proviso
Is added that they shall be selected with
out regard to political party affiliations.
But there is only one way to guarantee
that they shall be selected without re-
gard u politics aud Uo merit, and that
is by choosing them after competitive
examination from the lists of eligibles

politicians of both parties, instead OF as
the perquisities OF the politicians of ooe
party.
"In view Of the temporary character
of the work, it would be we'll 10 waive

YOUNG WOMAN KILLED.

Another murder mystery has been

day afternoon the body OF young
woman was dragged out Of cisterO 10
the rear Of a vacant house. Her brother
has identified her as Lizzie Fulhsrt, Is
years old, Of Vandslis, Ohio She hiss
always borne spotess reputation at
her home. She went 10 Dayton on
Tuesday, January 20, to look for EN-
ployment, and was staying with her
aunt, Mrs. Samuel Deetsrs.
The case is exactly similsr to six other
murders 10 Dayton, the last victim be-
ing Mary Forschner, who vas killed
few weeks sgo.
Miss Fnbat left her sunt's home 10
the morning in her search for work, aud
was expected TO return for dinner At
noon, and the fact that she fsiled to do so
indicated that the crime must have been
committed IN the broad light of day, the
girl having been enticed into the vacant
house and there murdered.
