cation in making up their annual estl-

Commissioner mcfarland said yester-
day in this connection:

10 inform Congress Of what amount

Congress TO appropriate a lump sum fol

OFFERS MANY ATTRACTIONS.
Chesapeake Beach Popular with
PIcnsure Seekers This Summer.

The two nearly parallel desires Of the
average person during the summer season
are to be cool and 20 find amusement.
Both OF these ends are easily accom-
pllshed by a trip to Chesapeake Beach
There pleasure may be had from morn to
night, and even unto midnight: and there
may be enjoyed the sea air and the sea
itself.
Chesapeake Beach being the most con-
venient salt water resort within a short
radius Of Washington, naturally the bulk
of the people in this vicinity take advan-
tage of It at this time Of the year Every
thing in the way or amusement which
can be found at either salt water or in
land resort is there-the boardwalk, the
merry-go-rOund, The roller coaster. the
human roulette wheel. dancing pavilion,
band concerts. and many other minor
amusements.
A special feature that may be added to
a. trip 10 the beach is the round-trip ar
rangement by way OF Baltimore, which
permits a delightful sail on the bay and
an electric car ride In addition. Unusual
~ popular rates are in vogue at present
for this excursion.

CENSUS BUREAU TO
FILL MANY PLACES
Examination for Clerical Staff
Will Be Held in Various
States October e
Applications From West Not as
Numerous as Demands
Would Justify

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-The civil serv-
ice commission announces that very
small proportion OF the applications
thus far fled for examination for po-
s.tions in the census bureau are from
residents of the more distant states.
As the census act provides for the ap
portionment of appointments among
the states and territories in accordance
with the law of apportionment, the
commission calls attention to the fact
that present indications are that these
distant states probably will fail to
receive their full share of the appoint
ments unless more residents OF such
states apply for the examination.
1t is expected that about 5000 ap-
pointments will be made from the ex-
animation which is to be held in all
the states and territories October 25
These appointments will be for terms
of six months to two years, and will
average about one year in length. The
entrance salary will be $500 per an
mum, and promotion to at least $500
per annum will be reasonably rapid
for those who render satisfactory sery-
ice.
OnQer the census law SefecllOHk
the eligible register Will be made in
order of rating and in accordance with
the law of apportionment, so that all
persons, will have an equal chance of
appointment.
Applicants must be between the ages
of Is and so years, except that persons
honorably discharged from the military
or naval service, by reason of disability
resulting from wounds or sickness in
Cured in the line of duty, may be
examined without regard TO age. and
except that boys who have reached the
age of Is years and have not reached
the age of is years will be permitted TO
take the examination, and if they pass
viii be eligible for appointment as
messenger boys only.
II is understood that the census bu-
reau viii make some appointments
from this examination about January
l. 1910, but the majority of such ap-
pointments will be made between April
and August, 1910.
Application forms and further infor-
nation may be obtained by addressing
the United States civil service COM
mission, Washington, D. c.; the bureau
of the census, Washington, d. c., or

States civil service examiners at the

James L. Wright, colored barber of

Police Judge Shortall yesterday for
trying to teach a streetcar conductor
to speak more respectfully of Jack
Johnson, now in training out dt Seal
Rock hotel. Wright had asked Ed N.
Phelps, the conductor, for transfer
that would get him out to Johnson 6
training quarters.
"Johnson?" the conductor shifted
according to Wright's testimony, no
one knows that 'coon's' in town.
II didn't come here to ask about no
meenagerie," was the BARRIERS retort
Then the quarrel began. The con-
ductor stepped back as if going for
the controller bar and the barber drew
rusty gun. The Judge dismissed the
charge of assault against Wright, but
found him guilty of carrying a con-
cealed weapon.
