CAR SHORTAGE is
NOW THREATENED

Washington. Aug. ia heavie,
business than has ever been known In
q single year is looked for by Chair
man Knapp, of the Interstate Com
merce commission, for the American
railroads during the present fiscal
year.
The serious situation anticipated, not
only by Judge Knapp, but by other
officials Of the commission and by OPP
Grating railroad men generally, is that
there may be a shortage of cars. The
crop prospects are considered 80 bright
that the likelihood is the railroads and
other transportation companies may
be beyond their capacity to handle the
freight that will be offered to them.
Already, according to figures submit
ted to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, the railroads in considerable
number have recovered from the low
business pressure of a year and a
half ago, and they are handling al
most as much traffic as they handled In
the rush months of 1907. which was
the banner year in American railroad
ing.

CENSUS employees TO
LET POLITICS ALONE
President Taft viii Gut Their
Heads Off if They NEEDLE
or Mix In.

! Beverly, Mass, Aug. 18.-1n a letter
addressed to Secretary Nagel, Of the
department Of and labor.
President Taft served notice that any
man engaged in the taking Of the 18th
census of the United States who en-
cages in politics in any way will i'm
mediately be dismissed from the serv-
ice. Outside OF casting their votes
the president believes that census SUI
pervisors and enumerators should keep
clear of anything that savors Of poll
tics. national, state or local.
The president orders that the secre-
tary of commerce and labor and the
airector of the census embody in the
regulations governing the taking Of
the census the rule SO forctbly laid
down in his letter.
Census Out of Politics.
Mr.. Taft says that in appointing
census supervisors it has been found
by senators and congressman in their
districts. He says he realizes that
these methods of selection might
easily be perverted to political purposes
and 1t is to al the census out Of
politics. so far as the actual work IL
concerned, that he has explicitly ex.
pressed his desires as to the reRula.
tions.
President Taft has told the repre-
sentatives and senator's who have urged
various men Tor census places that he
would insist that no active pa%rtisans
should be named and that no attempts
should be made to build up. a political
machine in any state or district through
the distribution Of the census patron
age.
Northwest Men Named.
Mr.. Taft's task is a little more than
half completed. Practically all Of the
appointments have been agreed upon,
but some are being held up temper
arily on account of protests. The cen
u supervisors announced include:
Iowa-First district, John w. Row.

himself. In a little room the murdered
woman lay on the floor. stabbed in half
q dozen places. Her slender neck was
rlnged with bloody finger marks, indi-
eating a struggle with her assailant,
and beside her lay a blood crusted

1t was evident that the woman had
been dead for two or three hours. Oh;
the stairs were found traces of blood,
and also on a door leading to the store
OF Yuen Chin & Co., on the ground
floor. Three Cinnamon there were ar
rested, although they deny all knowl-
edge Of the murder. Six American

dered Woman's rooms were found MANY
letters in Chinese. but none that gave
a clew. Len declared that he had no
idea who killed his wife, unless .may
be Zee Sing killed her. Zee Sing saw

had gone to % Mott st. Returning at
2 o'clock in the morning, he found the
body on the floor. In touching it he
had soiled his hands, which in turn
had smeared the door and stairway
as he hurried to the street. No formal

Washington, Aug. 1S.-when-
ever Captain James T. Smith,
commanding the armored
cruiser South Dakota, wishes to
decorate his table with a mag
nificent silver service. he a
do so by merely making a re-
quest for the transfer to his Gus
tody Of the gift made to his yes
sci by the people of South Da-
kota five years ago.
When, in 1901, it was decided
to name a big cruiser for South
Dakota, the pride of people Of
that state was SO aroused that
they at once decided to follow
the example Of other states and
present a silver service. In 1904
the gift vas made by the gov
ernor. with a request that as
soon as the vessel was placed in
commission the silver be sent
aboard.
In January. 1908, the South
Dakota was commissioned. The
silver service was boxed and
stored in the New York navy
yard. There it is supposed to
be today.
