The Director of the Census Ten
ders His Resignation.
1t Is Promptly Accepted and His
Successor Named.
QUESTION OF BOSSES
He Refused to Report to the
Secretary of Commerce.
President Taft Took Sides With
His Cabin t Officer.

Washington, May 26.-S. N. D. North,
director of the census. has rendered
his resignation and it was accepted
today. E. Dana Durand. deputy CONS
missioner of corporations, has been
nominated to succeed Mr.. North. Mr..
North's resignation is a direct result
OF his recent controversy with Secre-
tary Nagel
The following statement in connec-
ton with the case was given out at
the White House:
Director North rendered his resigna-
ton as director of the census 1t was
accepted and the name of E. Dana
Durand, now deputy commissioner of
corporations has been sent into the
senate to succeed him. Mr.. North's
resignation was based on the ground
that on account of conditions existing
and likely to continue his administra-
ton OF the census office would not pro-
bably be successful
Mr.. Durand is from California. He
has been in the bureau of corporations
for sometime and it is believed will
work in harmony with Secretary Nagel.
1t has been supposed up to within
the last few days that the controversy
between Secretary Nagel and Director
North had been amicably adjusted. The
friction between the two continued,
however, and at last Secretary Nagel
put the matter squarely up to Presi-
dent Taft, saying that either he or Mr..
North would have to leave the service
as existing conditions between them
were intolerable.
Director North held to the belief that
the census bureau was an Independent
institution and that he was responsible
only to the president. A congressional
enactment put the census bureau under
the department of commerce and labor
however, and Secretary Nagel felt that
in spite of the great powers conferred
by congress on the director that Off
cia1 should be subordinate to the cabi-
net officer in charge of the department.
1t was because of this friction that
Director North was finally forced to
step out.

me or will be brought. There Is no
scandal attached to my separation from
my wife I have no cause for bringing
any divorce proceedings and if any are
brought, they will be by Mrs. Daven-

temperament that has caused US to
mutually agree to live apart. Mrs. Dav-

Goshen on this place. That is all there
need be said about it,

Terrible Tragedy at Granville
This Afternoon.
Mrs. James Abel, Wife of Farm
er, Is Killed.
HIRED MAN DID 1T
Daniel Loganston Then Turned
Revolver on Himself.
Both We're Dead When Found
Soon After.

A double tragedy was enacted at the
farm house of James Abel, one and a
half miles south of Granville, at 2
o'clock today when the hired man.
Daniel Loganston, shot and killed Mrs
Abel and then ended his own life with
the same weapon.
The dead bodies were found soon
after the tragedy when Pearl, a daugh-
ter of the family who had been away,
came home and entered the house to
find her mother lying dead on the floor
covered with blood and shot through
the head. Through the open door of the
next room, the girl saw the PROSTATE
body of the hired man, also dead and
lying in a pool of blood.
The coroner from Oskaloosa had
not reached the scene of the tragedy
at p. m. The hired man, Daniel
Loganston, had been discharged this
morning and it is suspected that the
man became angry and returned to
the farm house intent on crime. The
community is greatly excited.

was not until newspapers were on the
streets that citizens were correctly in
| formed of what had happened.

passing street cars. A young woman
thought some one had come up be-

Denver Colo, May 26.-That the
japanese resident of the west is a bet

Auburn Theological seminary, present

present need of money as of insisting
upon a better moral and religious in

class of men and women for the mis-
sionary fields.
DR.. Sylvester w Beach of Prince

Latin quarter of Paris, spoke of the
work among the American students
there. He said there were 1000 Ameri-
can boys and girls there when the work
was first taken up and at that time
there was no religious influence of any
sort. Now he said, there is a large
Sunday night attendance at regular
services, maintained in a studio.

support in the cases of w. H. Morrison
