City Clerk Peter Clark declared
that he had been made purchasing

but he wasn't purchasing agent any
more than a chip as the various

of ordering what they wanted and the

He was supported by the council

BIG INCREASE IN
CITY POPULATION

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE thir-
teenth census has progressed far
enough to show that one of its note
worthy features will be the increase
in urban population. Data given out
yesterday put Pittsburg in the class
of cities that top the half million
mark.
While the increase in the population
of cities is greatest-the causes for
which already have engaged the at
tention of students of sociology and
others-there also is shown an in
crease in, rural population, taking it
as a whole. Both urban and rural
increases thus far developed are most
striking in the middle west, although
the far west comes in for notable con-
sideration.. @
This growth has been expected, but
there probably will be some surprise
to and how the growth of the cities
exceeds that Of the rural districts.
Here, save in = few localities, there 10
IN increase, but generally 1t IL below
ten per cent. s.sss,s.s..,z.,7~ s.s,s

Washington, Aug. 17.-At midnight
tonight the new railroad law will be-
come effective. Immediately upon the
passage of the act sixty days ago, sec
tions of the law relating to the sus-
pension of rates went into effect.
Since that time, the interstate COM
merce commission has been operating
under the law. A conference was
held by the commission with repre-
sentatives of the telegraph and tele-
phone companies concerning the law
as it applies to them. The co:npan-
les expressed a desire to do all in
their power to facilitate the work of
the commission. Hereafter the tele-
graph and telephone companies will
have to file reports with the commits
sion concerning their business, just
as the railroads do. The officers were
informed also that after today no
franks for messages could legally be
issued, except as governed by the
anti-pass provision Of the Hepburn
act.
The long and short haul provision
of the recently enacted law, while It
becomes effective at once, actually
will not be operative for six months,
so that time is allowed for the car
riers to adjust with the commission
their tarins with respect to that pro-
vision.

HEAVY HAIL and
ELECTRIC storm

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 17.-C. R. Mere
dith, head of the wholesale drug COM
pany that bears his name, had an
experience night or two ago that he
will not soon forget. In company with
friends he was driving an automobile
about three miles from the town of
Clifford, when very severe electrical
storm came up and it was accompan-
led by hail.
/ Mr.. Meredith states that the stones
were so large that he was afraid all
the time that they would go through
the top of the machine. He drew the
auto to the side of the road until the
storm had passed and then managed
to reach a farm house, where the par
ty spent the night.
The hail did a great deal Of damage
to corn and other grain. In some
places the corn was shredded and en-.
tire crops were destroyed.
The storm reached almost to Erie.

New York, Aug. 17.-After labor
lasting nearly all sumter the football
rules committee today made public
the rules which are to govern the
game during the season of 1910.
Changes adopted are revolutionary in
character and calculated to minimize
greatly the danger of fatal accidents
existing under the old rules.
For one thing the time of play is
divided into four periods of fifteen
minutes duration instead Of the ira.
ditional two halves of thirty-five min
utes each. The usual intermissiOn OF
fifteen minutes is maintained between
the second and third period, but an
intermission of three minutes only is
allowed between the first and second
and the third and fourth periods. Dur
ing this short intermission no player
will be allowed to leave the field, nor
will any one be permitted to come on
the field save only the individuals who
look after the physical condition Of
the players.
At the beginning of the second and
fourth periods the teams change goals
but the down, the relative spot on the
down, the possession of the ball and
the distance to be gained remain as
they were at the conclusion of the
preceding period Of play.
Another radical change is that gov
erning the flying tackle. This has
been entirely eliminated by q new rul-
ing, which provides that player must
have one foot at least on the ground
when tackling an opponent.

he will be unable to attend the con-

of the representative of the eighteenth
Illinois district. Instead he talked of
pioneer days and cCntrasted them un-
favorably with the present. The po-
litical tinge only was introduced when
he asserted vehemently that the pro-

elder Garfield Was responsible for the

dore Roosevelt may stay out of poll
tics in New York state during the
coming campaign as a result OF the
action of the republican state com.

explained his attitude by saying that
he felt the committee had relieved
him of all responsibility in connec-
tion with the conduct and result Of

He added that he had not decided
whether or not he would attend the
convention. He would talk things
over with Representative w. w.

lief that it would be better to stay
