CLERGY FOR SUNDAY SALOON

bath Afternoons-To End Police
Graft and Raines Law Hotels.

NEW YORK, March IA delegation
of New York cIergHmen pleading for the
Sunday opening of saloons surprised the
Legislative leaders in Albany yesterday
more than any incident of recent years.
The ministers, headed by the Rev. John
p. Peters OF st. Michael's Episcopal
Church, had the temerity TO ask Senator
Raines, inventor Of the indestructiple
sandwich. to support a bill providing for
''the open door. and urged Gov. Hughes

the existing license fee. Despairins OF
the enforcement OF the existing law,
they demand one which can be enforced
and which they believe would end the
Raines law hotel evil.
The bill was drawn by the committee
OF fourteen for the suppression of Ranes
law hotels after a study of existing con-
ditions for four years. The verdict of
the committee is that 'the result of tire
present law has been in New York to
create class of dlsorderly hotels and to
debauch and corrupt the police system"

clares in statement mace last night.
.'the great majority of saloons not hotels
have been more or less continuously open
on Sunday. for which privilege it has
been the custom to pay various officials
having to do with the enforcement of the
law. All attempts TO enforce this law
and to enforce any Sunday closing law
prior TO this time, where saloons are con-
cerned, have been failure.
The remedy. according to DR.. Peters,
Representative William S. Bennet and
their associates on the committee, is to
permit saloons to remain open, after morn
ing church hours until an hour before mid
night They would abolish the side door
and the back room, compelling the saloons
10 have only one door. The provision for
q special license fee would put the en-
forcement of the law into the hands of
the excise department OF the state instead
of the police.

The most important part Of woman s
toilet is that which is donned before the
dress proper is put on, and nowadays
quite as much skill and attention Is
given to the designing Of underwear as Is
expended upon outer garments.
Stout women find it much less difficult
to make a selection this season because
the prevailing fashions require smoothly
fitting undergarments, consequently there
is a larger variety OF designs. For no
longer is il necessary for her to accept
the comfortable, perhaps, but unattractive

at least half dozen to choose from.
The combination suit selling best, I am

line, rather than the two garments cut in
one. even for stout women's use. The
former is prettier, and as the shoulders
are mere straps the usual objection, that
of finding the waist line in the wrong
place. can be easily overcome by taking
a tiny length out OF the strap or by
cutting II through and lengthening it by
an embroidery motif, making the waist

Mrs. Edward Walsh of 392 Helen street reported that two chickens had been left with her early this morning by a man who said he would call for the money later.

 MT. Pollock is about 45 years of age and a practical railroader, having worked his way up from the position of telegraph operator.
 His appointment marks a step in a successful career. Born in LanSford, Pa, a small mining town, his oppor- tunities were naturally limited and owing to the humble circumstances of his parents he was compelled to go age. In his leisure moments he man. aged to pick up a knowledge of tele- graph at a little way station of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and later secured employment with this company. He left home at 16 and se- cured a position as an operator for the New York Central and was later appointed a train dispatcher for that road at Albany, N. Y.

PREPARING FOR
 NEXT CENSUS
(specia1 from United Pre.s)

Special from United Press.)
 New Haven, Sept. A.-1t will take three and one-half months to take the 1910 census for the state of Connecti- cut and it will probably be asyear later before the result is known. The count, it is estimated, will show the total population to be 1,05o,O00, an increase of 142, GOO over the last census.
 These facts stood out to-day in an interview given by Professor William Bailey state, supervisor. According to Professor Bailey there will be 750 nunerators employed and he has all ready been flooded with applications for the position the majority conin g from college students. The state headquarters will be opened in this city within a week when preparations will be started. All the enumerators will have to pass examinations.
 The work will start the first week in January and it is expected, will be completed about May 18th. Professor Bailey has been working in the cen sus bureau for the past three months where they have been getting up a list of sections to be counted. He said it would probably be the most complete census ever taken and would show the survivors of the Civil war, the number of deaf, blind, etc.

NEED ADDITIONAL
 TEACHER IN B. H. s.
Increase In Attendance This Year Greatest In School s History.

At the ending of the first week of school the Board of Education finds itself confronted with a larger increase in attendance at the High School than at the beginning of any school year in the history of. the institution. There are 290 pupils in the entering class, 75 more than last year. This is about three times the increase shown a year ago and more than a 50 per cent. in crease over 1907.
 The board contemplated that more E teachers would be needed and two extra instructors were engaged at the beginning of the term. pr. c. "; Deane, superintendent of schools, said this morning that another teacher would have to be engaged in order that the big class might receive proper instruction. The registration at the school this year is 716 and last year it was 641. That the school board had no way of knowing the increase in attendance would reach 75 is shown by going over the figures of the first weeks attendance of past years. In 1908 the gain was 26 members. In 1907 the gain was 49. In 1906 1t was 30, and in 1905 that was a loss of one.
 The increase in the school registra- tfon over tho first week of last year is 466. This does not reach the 800 mark that is yearly anticipated but there were not many Jewish children in school the first week because of the coming of the Jewish New Year. It iS expected that the Jewish children will make the increase reach close to the 500 mark. The total registration for 1909 Is 12.997. while the total for 1908 was 12,531.
