D uons not that expect TO mold my DO
sition. don't want the job
The neutrality-suspicious. Is very free
TO state that Major Myton had nothing
10 do with the census story that ap-
peared in The Herald Republican
yesterday morning. He neither in
spired Il. nor did he tell what the ac-
tual count was.
Also. The neutrality-suspicious. has a
very live correspondent at Washing
ton, ID. c.
WiIIOwy Mr.. AIcNIilIin.
A picture Of the willowy and lis
some supervisor OF the census yester-
day morning when he read The Her
ald-Republican's big news beat would
have been impossible for any cam
era. Buzzing about like a button on
a woohouse door in a high wind. he
sent for representatives OF all the
papers 70 appear at his Office. Just
what he wanted to tell the newspapers
no one has discovered up to the pres
ent time. unless IL was to tell them
that he had discharged Major Myton.
his chief clerk. and Major MytOn had
beaten him to that by several hours.
McMillin called at the Office OF The
Republican yesterday morning
ard requested that a representative OF
this paper call at his Office at IL
O'Clock. He was informed that the
news AID editorial departments of the
paper do not begin duty until 1870
o'clock in the afternoon, and a repre-
tentative OF this paper was in his Of
fee shortly after that time. McNillin
told the afternoon papers several
hours previously that he was going TO
make n full meal of the first Herald
Republican man he saw. At the hour
OF going to press. however. all mem
bers OF The Herald Republican stan
were in good health, having Just fin
ished the job Of making the best paper
printed IN the intermOuntain country
this morning. McMillin has not dis
puted the accuracy Of the figures
printed yesterday morning as the pop
ulatiOn OF salt Lake shown by the
census Just completed. He dares not.
for he knows that 91.6S1 Is the correct
number. Just why he wired his trou-
les 90 =. Dana Durand. director CT
the census. is not known. Certainly
Director Durand has troubles of his
own.
That McNIillin knows The Herale-
Republican figures TO be correct is
shown by his action I'm discharging tho
man whom he suspected of giving
them away. As a matter OF fact. Ma
Jor Myton ha0 no more to do with
he neutrality-suspicious. story than did
McMlllin himself, and as McMillin
never I'm his lie gave out a news story,
knowing X to be such, he cannot be
IMPLICATED. The fact Is that Hugh A.
McMillin. as director Of the census
has worked hard. but has been very
amusing. Occasionally he means 70
be funny. but he Is twice as amusing
when he doesn't know IT. Whatever
IL may cost Major Myton for having
taken a punch at the funny Mr. Nc
/ Millin. Il Is certain that the puncher
was well satisfied last night
Choice of Adjectives.
Supervisor McNIiTlin's choice OF ac-
! iectives to describe The Herald-Re
publican's stroke OF enterprise was
picturesque I'm the extreme Among
other things. ne said ''it didn't cut a
damned bit OF ice 1T was a piece Of
dirty work" Supervisor McAIiIlin
told the afternoon papers that he was
going 20 say this to The Herald-Re-
publican man when he saw him:
THE local census office got more
help from each Of the other pa
pers than from The Herald-Re-
publican. I can prove 10 from the
files OF the papers"
He didn't tell The Herald-Republi-
l can man anything OF the kind. But
/ there would not have been any argu-
ment about II. The other papers were

The facts are that salt Lake has in
