GEOGRAPHY CUTS FIGURE
Appointments for Census Purposes
Will Be Made According to View
of the Senate.

Washington, June 21.-The bill provid-
ing for the taking Of the thirteenth cen
sus was called UP in the house today
by Mr.. Crumpacker Of Indiana today.
and. a quorum being present, the Re
publicans decided to have the measure
considered at once.
Immediately the old discussion as to
whether the rule Of geographical appor-
tiOnment in the matter Of appointments
should apply. was revived. Mr.. Sims Of
Tennessee strongly contended for the
senate amendment, which provides for
such appOrtiOnment, while Mr.. Hay Of
Virginia wanted technical and scientific
positions exempted from the law of ap-
pOrtiOnment.
The appOrtiOnment amendment was
vigorously opposed by Mr.. Crumpacker
He said that as the result Of the civil
service laws and the spportiOnment
rule, the standard of efficiency among
government employees was not more
than 50 per cent of that Of similar ser
vice in private establishments.
A motion by Mr.. Sims to recede and
concur in the senate amendment was
agreed 10. All remaining amendments
were disagreed to and the bill was sent
back to conference, Messrs- Crumpack-
CT, Burleigh Of Maine and Hay of Vir-
ginia being appointed on the part Of
the house. The house then adjourned
until Thursday.

HARTMAN SAID
TO Be VERY ILL
Prompt Denial by Business AS
SOCiateS, but Drop Was
Caused in PaCifiCS.

New York June 21.-Rumors that Z.
II. Hartman was critically III in Vi
emma, that at times were exaggerated
TO the extent Of saying that he was
dead all met with prompt denial by his
associates and at the Union Pacific Of
fees today. Notwithstanding this, the re-
ports, coupled with sharp bear raid.
caused a decided break in the stock
market, and the decline in the sO-called
Hartman stocks had not been checked
when trading closed
Union Pacific dropped four points and
recovered only a quarter, leaving a net
loss of 80 for the day. Southern Pa
cific showed a net loss of 29s, Reading
AZ and Amalgamated Copper 3ss.
Losses as high as y points from the
high water mark of a few days ago
were recorded.
One of Mr.. HaTriman's closest assO-
ciates said that he felt convinced any
report purpOrting to indicate that Mr..
Hartman was seriously i'll was utterly
false.
I'VE have received several cable mes
sages from Mr.. Hartman today" he
said. zone of these was addressed to
a member of his family and gave no
hint of any change in Mr.. Hartman S
condition"
ftODSAL D LDhtlts vice bLESiQclL anu

Railroad company, said,
4 have no doubt that the rumOrs are
false. I had a cablegTam from Mr.
Hartman today, upon matter of bus
mess. I have been called upon almost
every day since Mr.. Hartman sailed
to deny false reports about his health.
I am tired of IL, and shall pay no fur
ther attention to them"
Vienna, June 21.-TheTe is no truth in
the reports which seem to have been
current in many parts Of the world that

/ sidered satisfactory. Certainly there
I have been no serious complications

HENEY IS
DISQUALIFIED
CaIhOun'S Attorneys Would
Like to Bar Him From Sec
Ond Trial.

san Francisco. June 2f.-When the
case against Patrick Calhoun, presi-
dent of the United Railroads, charging
that he offered a bride of 81 900 to Su-
pervisor John J. Furey to secure an
overhead trolley franchise, is called in
Judge William 2. Lawlor's court next
Monday, counsel for the defense will
move that the indictment be set aside.
They viii present demurrers alleging
that Judge Lawlor, on account of his
conduct of the trial just concluded, is
not qualified to sit in the new case, and
that Francis J. Heney is disqualified
from acting as assistant district attOr-
ney because Of the alleged fact that he
was, at the time Of his appointment by
District Attorney Langdon, and is now,
an assistant to the attorney general Of
the United States.
Under the state law, according to At
torney A. A. Moore, who thus outlined
the plans Of the defense in court today,
Mr. Heney cannot act in both capaci-
ties
Heney declared that he was not and
never had been, an assistant attorney
general of the United States. although
he had been offered that office by At
torney General Knox. He denied also
the allegation made by Moore that he
had drawn large sums Of money from
Rudolph Spreckels for his services dur
ing the prosecution Of the graft cases.
All money paid to him by Spreckels, he
said, had been paid out by him in turn
to his assistants for salaries and ex-
penses.
So bitter were the charges and coun-
ter-Charges of bad faith on both sides
that Judge LawlOr reiterated warnings
already given on numerous occasions
against indulgence in personalities and
/ heated debate. He said that if occasion
arose he would take steps to find out
if a systematic effort was being made to
defeat Justice.
