Census Director Finds That
Returns from Minneapolis
Were Padded.
BUT NOBODY IS CENSURED
Couple of EnumeratOrs Simply Inter-
preted Their instructions
Very Loosely"

Washington, Oct. 31-The popu-
latiOn Of Minneapolis was announced
Saturday night by Census Director
Durand 10 be 30140S. In connec-
tion with the figures, Mr.. Durand
charged that individual enumerators
had fraudUlentIy returned 4,66S
names. These. of course, we're not
counted with the final report.
The announced figures is a gain
OF almost 70 per cent over the popu-
lation of 1900, which was 2O2,718.
No Concerted EHort.
In giving out the returns, Mr.
Durand made a statement in which
ne said that as originally forwarded
TO the bureau the report contained
306,076 names. But, while more
than 1000 of these had been elm
mated, there was no evidence, he
said, of any concerted attempt on
the part of the enumerators or Of
the supervisor or of any group of
private individuals to fraudulently
pad the census returns. The greater
part of the names eliminated were
in two out of 196 enumeration dis
tTicts in the city.

MOISANT IN
GREAT FINISH
American Wins the Statue of
Liberty Flight at New

BEAT GRAH A M E-W HITE
Baltimore to Become the Center Of
the Aviation World Latter
Part of Week.

New York, Oct. 31.-Belmont park
rocked and roared yesterday with an
outburst of wild, uncontrolled enthus-
iasm when John B. Moisant. American,
won the Statue of Liberty fight after
it had passed hopelessly to all appear
ances to Claude Grahame-White. Count
de Lesseps of France was third. The
victory carried with 1t the $4,000
prize offered by Thomas F. Ryan.
At the last hour, with every chance
of an American apparently gone, Moi
SAINT climbed into a machine he had
not even entered before, bought for
him by his brother from ALFRED LIE
Blanc, and dashing off past the first
pylon, shot away on a trip that was
to end in a demonstration that has
never been Iequaled anywhere in avia-
ton or in any kindred sport.
Beats Grahame- White.
Moisant beat Grahame-White by
bare 43 seconds, after covering a dis
tance of II miles across Queens coun-
ty, brooklyn, and the harbor Of New
York and back to Belmont park.
Earlier in the afternoon Grahame-
White had made the 81 miles in his
100 horsepower Bleriot. winning cas-
lily over Count Jacques de Nesseps in
his so horsepower Bleriot. The su-
periority of the 100 horsepower motor
over the 80 horsepower engine had
dashed the hopes of all Americans,
and had apparently given the victory
to Grahame-White beyond chance of
loss.

easy turns.

assured includes Hubert Latham,

FoR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

There Is becoming a settled convic-
ton among democrats Of the state that
Geo. ID. Key is the logical of his party
for Attorney General OF Oklahoma. He
is a man on whom all democrats can
unite, for he is young, vigorous and
able; honest. clean and learned in the
law, with a splendid personal, profes-
sional and political record and absolu-
tely free from factional antagonisms
and personal animosities. While he
has always been an active democrat
in the ranks, he has not heretofore
sought Office or figured actively in pub
lie life, with the consequent handicaps
that naturally come from such activi.
ties. He has no public record to ex
plain or defend His candidacy means
strength, not weakness, to his party at
the polls For this reason democrats
are settling on him as their choice
A new deal and a clean slate Is the
demand in this campaign The party
is more and more inclined to cast of
the dead weights and sinkers and dis

TROUBLES OF BOOTLEGGER
ARE RAPIDLY INCREASING

Muskogee, okla, April 2l.-Under
orders just issued by the president
Marshal Grant Victor and his force Of
deputies, the federal district attorney,
w. J. Gregg and c. A. Nichols, the
United States commissioners here, as
we'll as the commissioners elsewhere
in the state, will take up the prose-
eution OF the festive bootlegger and
business will pick up again. This
time AL the prosecutions will be under
the internal revenue law. The troub-
les of the bootleggers increase.
The following dispatch from To-
peka explains how the law will OPP
crate Ia Oklahoma as we'll as in pro-
hibition Kansas;
Upon instructions from President
Taft, the department of Justice has
promulgated some new rules in re-
gard to liquor revenue stamps, which
Governor Stubbs says win complete
| ly break the backbone OF bootlegging
IN Kansas.
The new instructions were trans.
mitted to the governor today by the
president They win ba sent to the
federal authorities in all prohibition
states by the revenue Office at Wash
ington.
1T is not to be inferred that un,
der a sound public policy, the course OF
officers charged with the enforcement
of the federal law may with propriety
be such as ever bear the appearance
of convening at or countenancing vic
latlons of state laws. Therefore
where the state law is such that tax
payer by the very filing Of return
evinees a deliberate purpose to violate
the same, he is not entitled to insist
that a return so made is privileged
Thus the government will not com
promise with bootleggers. 1t will
prosecute them the same as the state
does. No bootlegger can afford to buy
and exhibit a federal tax receipt for
levery different place he sells There
fore he will have to quit business. The
state courts, upon application. will
also be furnished with all the informa
tion the government has against q
bootlegger Under the new rule, II a
jointist takes out a government stamp
it can be used against him as primg
faeie evidence in a state court; II he
takes 1t out, doesn't exhibit It or at
tempts to sell in more than one place
he not only will be prosecuted by the
state, but by the government ais well
