Me- York, April 2S.-Census emu
merators anxiousLt to list every home

zen of New York, swooped down on
the bench loungers in thirty city parks

Comparatively few names were added
to the list, despite the thoroughness
of the canvass.
The hardest work of the police who
accompanied The enumerators was to
keep back crowds of curious persons
who gathered to watch the census TAX
ing. Where derelict was rounded up
the examination was conducted to the
accompaniment of f1ashlight attack
by photographers, who followed. Waits

THAT VASSAR SUICIDE.
Has Opened Up Controversy as to
Strain ON Young Women.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, April 2S.-The
suicide at Andover. Mass of popu-
lar member of the Junior class at Vas
sar. presumably from overstudy, has
opened controversy here as to the
strain forced upon young women in
the cause of modern education. 1t is
estimated that about 20 per cent of the
girls who enter Vassar freshman class
are forced to retire during their first
year, and that 10 per cent of the
sophomores drop out because of fail
ure in examinations during the second
year Of college life. Another five per
cent are compelled to quit during the
Junior year because of inability to keep
up with the requirements of the
course.
The Vassar authorities insist that
girls breakdown there Is not due to
overstudy as rule, but to the girls
own mental and physical makeup.
Mrs. Kendrick. supervising principal,
for the college girl says in a state
ment published today that Vassar girls
are not compelled to work harder than
girls at other colleges, nor are they
pressed more by instructors.

Three of Spans Over Rock Riv-

Winter Sets in.
COUNCIL ADOPTS PLANS
Estimated That $50, 900 Will Be Re
quired for ImprOvements-AH
Steel Structures.

Bids are to be invited this week
by the city for the replacing of two
of the Rock river bridges and for
the painting and strengthening of
the other spans over that stream be-
tween Sears and Milan. The bridges
to be rebuilt are those lying between
the toll gate and the Hennepin ca
nal. City Engineer Wallace Treich-
Ter, who prepared the plans and
specifications, which were adopted at
a meeting of the council last even
ing. estimates that the improvements
will require an expenditure of at
least $25, 900. This amount is forth
coming from the Tri-City Railway
company as one of the concessions
made to the city when the company's
franchises were recently extended by
the council.
The specifications call for all-steel
spans, with creosoted cedar blocks
for flooring. The new spans are to
be constructed with a view to sup
porting the heavy interurban trains
that it is expected will be operating
over that route in the NEXT few
years. 1t is hoped to have the i'm

stands on Old Surveys.
City Engineer Treichler told the
council that he did not survey Sec
ond street between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth avenues in accordance
with instructions given him in a res
olution passed at a previous meeting.
He regarded such work a waste of
time, inasmuch as the surveyors
monuments were in position there,
and had been for years. He had
checked up the survey and found it
to be correct, and he was willing to
stand by the records IN his office.
Furthermore, the Tri-City Railway
company, in extending its new line
in that section of the city, would
follow his survey, and in doing so
would lay its tracks against the
fence of the property that was en-
croaching beyond the street line
from the west. He explained that
John Stapp, who plated the division
in question, had called upon him and
told him that he had warned Mr..
Zimmerman, whose fences, it is
claimed extend into the street.
that he was making a mistake when
he laid out his fence lines and that
it would cause him trouble some
day. The council has decided to
hear both sides at the first meeting
in November. The clerk was in
structed to notify Mr.. Stapp, Mr..
Zimmerman and others interested to
be present at the meeting.
