WITH cENsUs-APPoINTEEs
MUST RESIGN OTHER uoBs.

Washington, Aug. 25.-President
Taft is leaving nothing undone to
make it clear that he does not intend
that the census work and politics shall
be mixed.
Acting Secretary McHarg, of the
department of commerce and labor,
received a letter today from the sec
retary to the president, stating thai
the census supervisors who hold po-
1itical positions, such as secretary
ships or chairmanships Of county
committees, must give up either their
political or government position.
In number of states, and this is
particularly true of the south, the
republican politicians have been rec
commended for appointment as super
visors of census. Complaint was
made that as supervisors have the
authority to appoint enumerators, it
would be possible for them to build
uD powerful political positions.

REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GEoR.
GiA ENGINEERING co. IN
CITY YESTERDAY.
tbs Concern Proposes to Submit
Bids for Vitrified Brick Paving on
Newcastle Street and Came to
Look Over the Situation for Them
selves.

President Clark and Engineer War
ren, of the Georgia Engineering com
pany, of Augusta, among the largest
manufacturers of vitrifed brick in
the entire south, came over to Bruns-
wick yesterday from Jacksonville to
take look at the proposed street
paving in the city, with view to
submitting bids for the work.
These gentlemen called on Chair
man Calnan of the public works de-
partment, and together with that Off
cial went over the streets proposed
to be paved under the pending ordi-
nance. This firm has some very large
contracts with the city of Jackson
vile, in fact it is stated that the paw
ing work alone, now being done in
that city by them, will aggregate more
than $150,00O.
President Clark talked very inter
estingly Of the project under way in
Brunswick. He is a great believer in
permanent paving and says it has
been his observation that temporary
Improvements of this characted in the
long run cost more money than the
mare solid and permanent work. 1t
Bis opinion for instance that it
would cost the city more money to re-
pair Newcastle street from to
Mansfield with shells and concrete
than would be the city's share in the
work if done with vitrif1ed brick.
Newcastle street is sixty-six feet
from curb to curb. Under this basis,
the City & Suburban Railway com
pany would come in for IS feet, east
side property owners for 16 feet, west
side property owners for a like
distance, while the city would only
have to. bear its share of 16 feet.
These gentlemen returned TO Augusta
last night, hut as soon as the ordi-
nance is passed and bids advertised
for it is their purpose to submit es-
Inmates for the work.

selling, the former giving way 3 3-S

COMP PROMISE ON
TRAIN MATTER
1T is NOW BELIEVED THAT THE
A.. 3. & A. WILL RELIEVE
TRAIN SERVICE SITUATION

The special committee named at
the citizens meeting on Tuesday to
look into the matter of the proposed
reduction in the train service of the
A., B. q A. railroad and Nichols
held a conference with ]. b. G. Bitch
local representative of the company,
yesterday. The matter was gone into
very thoroughly and in accordance
with the agreement of the previous
meeting Mr.. Bitch submitted to the
members of the committee the fig
ures compiled by the auditing de-
partment of the line, showing beyond
question that the two trains in uues-
tion, We're being operated at a heavv
loss.
With this statement in black and
white, the committee decided to ask
the management of the A., B. & A. to
act on the suggestion made few days
ago 10 the effect that the early freight
ing be converted into an accommo-
isS lie cor e'ted into an accommo-
dation train, thus giving the people
of the city the same advantages that
they now enjoy of leaving the city
early in thr morning anl returning
the same day. 1t is believed that
the railroad people will accedc to
tnat request as the additional cost
of small passenger equipment win
be very small como I'D tn what 1t

Under the Payne Bill.

Beverly Mass, Aug, 25.-That pro-
visions for the establishment of a
system OF postal savings banks will
be inserted in the financial Till. which
is to be finally reported by the mon
etary commission, is the opinion of
those in close touch with the situa-
ton. There are a great many good
reasons for believing that President
Taft would favor such an item in the
bill and it is stated here on good
grounds that this will be the turn of
events.
The whole matter will be threshed
over tomorrow between the presi-
dent, Secretary Mcveagh of the
treasury department, and Senator
Aldrich, who comes here to discuss
plans for the monetary commission
with Mr. Taft.
In addition to the work of this com
mission, the president is also absorb

made necessary by the administrative

DAMAGE TO PERSONS AND PROP
~ERTY HAS BEEN REPORTED
AS BEING SEVERE.
Many Business Houses and Residences
Collapsed, But Actual Loss of Life
is Not Great-Detais are Meagre,
But Natives Are Fleeing to Places
of Safety.

Sienna. Italy, Aug. 25.-A heavy
earthquake shock was felt through
out the province of Sienna at 129
a m. today. Practically all the
houses in San Lorenzo Merse were
destroyed or badly damaged and many
persons injured. Details are meagre.
The quake was felt most severely
within a radius of twenty miles of
Sienna Considerable damage was
done at Buonoconvento, where sew
eral houses collapsed and one person
was killed. Several persons were in
jured at Monteroni. A number of
houses also were damaged there, and
masonry fell into the streets.
The shock was recorded at Piom-
bino, on the coast, about fifty miles
southwest of Sienna at 1.25 a. m,
and there was a repetition five min
utes later. The people fled from the
homes in terror, but no damage has
been reported. Sienna itself escaped
with a severe shaking The people
were badly frightened, however, and
rushed out of their houses into the
streets, where they wandered about in
a state of semi-panic until they were
assured that the quakes were over.
Wires are down and it is difficult
to get details of the extent of the
damage and loss of life.
