SAYS CENSUS is BEING
CAREFULLY COMPILED
School.Director Hayden Replies
to Recent Criticism
To the Editor of The Call.

To the Editor of The Call:
In the matter of your editorial on the
school census in Tuesdays paper these
are the facts:
The census is not yet completed. and
whether or not an increase be shown
can not yet be definitely said.
The census marshals employed were
carefully selected from a large number
of applicants, and so far as character
and quality are concerned were adj
one man out of the 4S appointed was
reported unsatisfactory. and he was dis
missed on the third day.
The work of verifying and checking
up the reports handed in by the force is
now going on. Special deputies are
working in the factories. stores and all
places of large employment of children.
No money whatever has been paid to
the deputies, and none will be paid un-
til the board is satisfied that their work
has been thoroughly done.
The superintendent OF schools has
been advised of all steps taken and has
been party to them all, and has so far
approved of the work of the census
marshals. the census marshals report
ing to him, as directed.
The only money paid out so far in
this connection has been for the neces-
sary blanks and printing and the sala-
ries of the clerical force making the
compilations, which sum is less than
81, 000 Last year the census cost ap-
proximately $500
Last years census showed in its final
total an increase of about 25 900 chill
dren over the returns from the census
marshals made April 80, 1908.
The work of testing and correcting
the field marshals' reports is always a
necessary part of the work, has always
been done and is now being done.
Every effort is now being made by the
education d.
ent of schools to secure a census re-
liable in all It's respects, giving to the
city every tchild to which it is entitled,
and only such census will be accepted.
Very sincerely.

JUDGES VACATION NOT
TO DELAY LEGAL WORK
Jurists Hold Meeting to Decide
OF Recreation Period

The judges cf the superior court met
yesterday and took under consideration
the matter of the trial of cases during
the vacation period of June, July and
August.
In other years it has happened that
most of the judges have gone out of the
city at. about the same time, leaving
one or two judges to attend to all the
business. 1t was decided yesterday that
this year at all times there shall be- at
least six departments in session. No
department will stand adjourned for
more than 80 days, and each Judge will
take vacation of a month if he so de-
sires.
1t was arranged that Judges Seawell,
Coffey, Cabaniss Graham. Sturtevant
and Dunno shall leave about the middle
of June. The remaining six occupants
of the superior bench, Judges Mogan
Lawior, Van Nostrand, Hunt, Trout and
Murasky, will be free to leave the city
about the middle of July.

JUDGMENT AGAINST
WEIGHING CONCERNS
Insurance Companies Will Take
Cases to Federal Circuit
Court of Appeals
Court Orders Payments Amount
ing, With the Interest, to
More Than S277,000

Waving the right of the corpora
tions to have each suit tried by jury
on its merits, It. c. Van Ness, attorney
for number of the WEIGHING" insur-
ance companies, submitted "A cases in
the United States circuit court yester-
day morning, but reserved the right of
appeal. Judge Van Fleet Immediately
directed that judgment be entered for
the different plaintiffs for the full
amount of their claims, with interest,
the total amount being s277,565.34. The
companies will carry the cases to the
United States circuit court of appeals
depending on the earthquake clause in
their policies TO secure a reversal. The
higher court has already ruled against
the contention of tile corporations in
two specific instances.
PLEADS EARTHQUAKE CLAUSE
In submitting the "a cases yesterday
morning Van Ness stated that the COM
panies were prepared to prove in each
instance that the fires could be traced
from blaze caused by the earthquake,
and for that reason the various poll
cies were void. In the cases of the Pa
cific-Union club and Leon Willard
against the insurance companies the
court of appeals sustained the judgment
of the lower court, which was in favor
of the plaintiffs, in spite of the fact
that the insurance companies made the
same contention they are depending on
