CENSUS ENUMERAT0Rs
COUNT BUNS IN PARKS
New York Nose Counters Will
Not Nouch for Truthfulness
of Reports.

NEW YORK, April 2s.-Soon
after daylight a tired corps of census
enumerators reported at headquarters
with a correct record of the out
door" population of New York. But
they were not willing to swear that
the records on hand we're true.
They had recorded the answers
given them by the citys park bench
occupants but. according to Super
visor F'alik, the park sleepers at this
time of the year are few and they
have a constitutional aversion to
telling the truth
Shores from buns sleeping off the
effects of bowery whiskey constituted
a majority of the replies from the
bench warmers in City Hall Park and
not until services of policemen had
been requistioned could answers be
obtained. The same story was record
ed from the other parks Most OF the
occupants of the benches insisted they
had homes from which they had prop
erly enumerated and the census tax
ers were forced to let it go at that
In all thirty parks were visited by
sixty enumerators.
