Fire that broke out on the fourth
floor Of the Chicago Great Western
building adjoining the Metropolitan
theater at st. Paul was put out while
the audience sat TRANQUILITY in their
seats unaware of the danger.
A probable panic was averted by
the presence of mind and quick action
of the tneater employees, Patrolman
William Zachow and the fire depart
ment.
Officer Zachow saw smoke issuing
from the windows Of the Office build
ing. He quickly turned in the alarm
and then warned the theater officials.
A man was placed at each exit, the
doors of the theater closed and the
orchestra quietly told to play it's loud

When the firemen arrived few

The fire was found to be among

with holes punched in it. A position or
combination of positions is assigned to
white" .'colored." ETC., so that every
possible answer is provided for.
The schedules are all transferred to
cards with the help Of punching ma
chine. This has a keyboard much like
a typewriter. The cards are fed under
the punches from pack and elected
automatically. These machines, Of
which 800 have been ordered, can be
operated at the rate of from 400 to 500
cards an hour with an average of thir-
teen or fourteen strokes to the card
How Tabulating Machines Work.
There will be a hundred tabulating
machines They somewhat resemble
an upright piano in appearance. In
place of the keyboard there is feed
plate and an arm carrying pin box
near one end. AS card may have be-
tween 200 and 300 positions and as a
tabulating machine has only sixty
| counters, 1t is necessary to run card
! through several times in order to get
! all the information.
After deciding what data are wanted
the little cups in the feed plate affect
ed are filled with mercury, and cleo
trio connections are made with the
counters. Then when card is fed
the pin box descends and wherever
holes have been punched for the an
swers required the pins dip into the
mercury and an electric current
causes the counters to register. The
card itself is sufficiently rigid to pre-
{, vent all the other pins from dipping
into the mercury. It will be seen,
then, that the principle governing the
operation Of the tabulating machine is
simple. This mechanism can be fed
by hand at the rate Of $500 or 1000
an hour.
In tabulating the population sched-
ule alone 100000 cards will be pass
ed six times through the machines
When an enumeration district is COM
pleted or when desired the totals
shown by all the counters are printed
on paper tapes at single operation,

Big Crowd Attends Last Public Service
in st. Paul.
More than 5000 persons assembled
at the Auditorium in ST. Paul to at
tend the last public service in con-
nection with the death and burial of
the late Governor John A. Johnson.
Eli S. Warner, president of the Com.
mercial club, introduced the sneakers.
A feature of the meeting was the mu.
sic, all of which was selected with
special reference to those hymns
which were the favorites of the late
governor.
The invocation was delivered by
Rev. Thomas Slater Robjent, pastor
of the Universalist church, and the
benediction was pronounced by Rev
L. R. S. Ferguson, chaplain of the
First Minnesota regiment.
Addresses were delivered by Gov
ernor Eberhart, Mayor Lawler and
Rev. S. G. Smith, pastor of the PEG
pies church.

which shall best fill the demands of

So the classes of men which have
supplied competent critics in the past
have now furnished builders who are
about to complete their labors in
Washington. They came as salaried,
expert special agents to give the coun-
try the benefit of study and expert
ence to make the census of 1910, it is
hoped, the most valuable ever taken
anywhere in the world There are
among these men professors, occupy
ing many different chairs, and indus
trial, farm, stock, mining and other
experts. The schedule of manufac-
lures has been presented for criticism
to commercial bodies. and the tenta-
tive agricultural schedule has been ex-
amined by experts Of the department
Of agriculture, by state commissioners
of agriculture and others.
Many Enumerators to Be Employed.
Census Director E. Dana Durand is
the administrative head Of the bureau
which is under the jurisdiction OF
Charles Nagel, secretary Of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor AS
sistant Director w. f. Willoughby
with Dr. j. A. Hill, will have immedi-
ate charge of the technical work Of
the bureau. The population returns
as of the date April Is, 1910, will be
obtained by $4,000 enumerators under
the oversight of $50 supervisors. The
agricultural schedule also will be car
ried by $4,000 of the enumerators and
will cover the farm operations of 1909
and the farm equipment on April Is,
1910.
The great Importance of this sched-
ule will be realized from the fact that
about three times as much capital is
invested in agriculture as in manufac-
lures. Six million farms will be visit
ed, and it is expected that it will de-
velop that fully 100000 people are
engaged in agricultural pursuits.
About 1000 special agents will begin
the collection Of statistics Of manufac-
lures for the year 1909 on Jan. L.
Three hundred of the regular enumer-
ators will carry schedules Of manu-
features in certain districts.
New Compiling Device.
About 5000 clerks in addition to the
permanent force of the census bureau
will be employed in Washington to
compile the statistics from the SEIZED

mechanical way in the present case is
attested by. the new equipment which

has made j. possible to enlarge the
