WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10.-The
population of Georgia is 2.e09,121, an in
crease Of 3e2. 100. or III per cent, since
1900 when the census was 2,2l6,SSl. The
figures for the entire state were an
nounced this noon at the census bureau,
but the population by counties has been
delayed for an indefinite period. 1t may
be a month before the ranking Of the
smaller cities and towns and counties
may be known.
TT has been impossible to tabulate the
counties. and there is no telling when the
announcement will be made"
This Is the only explanation vouchsafed
by the census bureau concerning the de-
lay.
The population of the United States is
60. zoe Isl. This is the total number OF
people enumerated throughout the states,
territories. District Of Columbia, Alaska.
Hawaii and Porto Rico in the 18th census,
which began April Is 1910 The total does
not include the Philippine islands.
The increase In the countrys popula-
ton during the last ten years was 1915
81. or 20s per cent, over q, $50 and
the population in 1900. compared with an
Increase OF 14.276.Se4. or 22.7 per cent, over
g., 1875. the population in 1880.
CONTINENTAL CENSUS.
The population of Continental United
States is 1,s72 266, an Increase of 1887. esl,
or q per cent, over 75.es4.575 in 1900. when
the increase was 1904, ssI, or 2o.7 per cent.
over s2s47.7l4. the total IN 1890
The total population of the United
states with all her possessions is about
lol, 10000. This number includes T.
SSs.R6 in the Philippine islands, as
enumerated in the census there in 1903
and estimates for the population of the
island Of Guam. the American possessions
IN Samoa and persons on the Panama
canal zone. ---l------ 80
Between 1880 and 1900 Georgia's popu-
lation Increased 37S,97S, or 20 per cent.
The actual increase for the past decade
was even greater, though the percentage
of Increase was slightly smaller
n 800 Georgia ranked as the 18th state
In tpoint of population and under the
census just completed she ranks tenth,
having gained one number.
Thus IL appears that she has increased
more rapidly than a majority OF other
states OF the union.

II would rather fly than do any
thing else in the world"
This is what Eugene B. Ely said
when asked how he likes being an air
man.
The celebrated aviator arrived in At
lanta from Columbia, 8. c., early this
morning, and was a caller at the of
fices of The Atlanta Journal later in
the day.
Beardless and slight of figure, the
man who set the whole world gasping
in amazement by his sensational flight
from the deck. of the u s. cruiser
Birmingham across the historic waters
of Hampton Roads recently, looked
very boyish as he shook hands with
The Journal reporter.
Although he is among the foremost
air men Of the world today, his honors
sit lightly upon his shoulders, and he
laughed and chatted in the most en-
gaging and natural manner in the
world as he talked of his past flights
and those that he will make at the At
lanta speedway. Although he is "a
years of age. Mr.. Ely gives one the
impression Of being even younger.
"You See he said, II am mem
Der of the Don't Worry Club and ex-
pect to remain in good standing in
that order all my life"
IT have been asked how it feels TO
fly about nine million times, I sup
pose" said Mr. Ely. but I have never
been able to figure it out so that
can give any one a pat answer.

IS Whales Compel Schooner To Run

San Diego, al.,-One of the most
exciting experiences related in local
maritime circles is that told today by
the crew of the fishing schooner
Golden West which came into port
last week from Lower California
waters. Steve Massa, owner and
master of the Golden West and the
members of his crew say that it was
only by miracle that the schooner
was not sunk by a school of
seventy-five whales. When about
twenty miles below San Diego the
lookout of the Golden West called
Captain Massa's attention to an
unusual commotion in the sea dead
ahead. Large columns of water were
shooting sky-ward and on coming
close to the spot a big school of
whales was found disporting in the
water. AS his boat was making for
the whales Captain Massa headed the
Golden West toward the shores to
avoid a collision. Several times the
whales came so close to the schooner
that when they spOuted, the water
fell on the decks. For more than six
hours the whales remained close to
the schooner and Captain Massa had
difficulty in making the entrance to
the harbor.
When the schooner was nearing the
point Iona headlands the whales
turned toward the south and swan
away. Captain Massa declares the
school was headed by big bull whale
which he believes must be at least
one hundred years old. He says that
four whales ranged in size from thirty
to sixty feet with several probably
exceeding the latter figures.

Thirty Parksrltes Are Arrested by Fsaly:

That James J. Healy, one time
editor of The Parker Herald, who
left that place at the urgent" in
vitation of its residents, had caused
warrants to be issued for the arrest
of over thirty Parkerites, was learn
ed when former Attorney General E.
S. Clark left for Bouse to represent
the citizens of the Colorado river
metropolis.
After months of persistent efforts
Healy has at last succeeded in secur-
ing warrants for the arrest of thirty
two of Parker's leading citizens, a
large number of whom, it is claimed,
were not even present at Healy's I'M
willing or forcible election from the
community. The warrants, alleging
aggravated assault" were issued by
Justice of the Peace NJ. NJ. Briggs of
Wenden. The majority of those
wanted we're out of town, mostof
them being on their vacation to the
coast. However, ten citizens named
in the warrant were rounded up and
taken to Bouse before Justice of the
Peace E. L. Short, being the nearest
qualified justice to try the case.
They gave bond in the sum of $500
cash each for their appearance at the
preliminary hearing.
About two weeks ago Healy applied
to Justice Briggs for the warrants,
but after the justice investigated the
matter, he refused to have anything
to do with the case. Also receiving
no sympathy from the district at
torney, Healy applied to the governor
and attorney general and it is claimed
that the latter official ordered Justice
of the Peace Briggs to issue the war
rants. 1t is said that the attorney
general will appoint a special prose-
cutor for the cases.

Wall Street is Under inquiry.

New York,-The trail of alleged
graft leading from Albany to Wall
street was on the program for speedy
tracing with the beginning in the
city hall here last week of public
hearings by the special committee
named by the last legislature to in
vestigate charges of legislative COR
ruption.
A wagonload of the books of the
defunct brokerage house of Filing
wood & Cunningham was in readiness
to be produced if needed early in the
inquiry.
From these volumes former Judge
NJ Linn Bruce, counsel to the COM
mittee, was expected to attempt de-
velopment of the connection between
the alleged speculative activity of
certain legislators now Lying and
legislation affecting various corpora
tions.
Various legislators whose names
were meutianed in the HOtchkiss in
surance investigation of last spring,
Including Rep. Geo. r. Malby, former
State Senator lothian p. Aids, Louis
=. Goodsen of Orange and Louis Be
dell have been indicated as likely to
be called.
After the conclusion of the probing
into the Wall street end of the graft
charges it is expected that the Aids
Conger scandal, which so stirred the
state at the last Legislative session,
will be taken up for further Sitting.
With the conclusion of this feature
of the investigation it has been indi-
Gated that there will be further in
quiry into the recent history of in
surance legislation, particularly that
relating to fire, marine, industrial
and security organizations.

Seven Packers Give Heavy Bonds.

ChicagO.-Seven of the ten officials
of the Chicago Packing companies
indicted last week by the federal

auce. Each defendant was obliged
10 furnish three bonds for 1000

Three men who did not furnish bail
are Louis f. Swift, president of Swift
& company in Europe, Thomas j. Con-

company returning from Europe, and
Francis \. F0wle, department man
ager for Swift u company, who is i'll.
While no person representing the
packers would make any statement
it was reported at the federal build
ing that the big meat interests had
decided to make a thorough test of
the present cases. Without admit
ting that there exists any combina-
tion contrary to the Sherman law.
they will contend that it is i'm posi- BILE
to conduct packing business on off
fCrent lines, and that any association
of packing companies in holding
company is one by which the consumer
is the chief beneficiary.
1t is said that the packers will ad-
vance their argumen as justification
instead of seeking immunity on
technical pleas.
