Old Glory
Waves Over One Hundred
Million People.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. TO-
In the United States and all its
possessions the stars and stripes
protect IO1. 100, 900 souls. This
enormous number is the official
estimate of the bureau of the
census, announced today, In
connection with the population
statistics for the country, as
enumerated in the thirteenth
decennial census. 1t includes
the Philippines, Samoa, Guam,
Hawaii, Alaska and the Panama
canal zone.
Within its borders on the
North American continent,
exclusive of Alaska, the United
States has population OF
81 ,972 ,266 inhabitants. During
the last ten years the states of
the union had an aggregate in
crease of 5,9Il ,691, which
amounts TO 81 per cent over the
1900 figures.
Since the first census was
taken In 1880, the country has
grown 25 times as large, the
population then having been
3, ,929, PA, slightly larger than
the present population Of the
state of Texas. The growth of
the country was greater than
had been expected, by the ex-
| pert statisticians, who have
closely watched the progress OF
the country's population.

Sale of Friar Lands.

The Secretary dweiis at some length
upon his investigations relative to the
recent sale of friar lands, which was
given much notoriety in the last ses-
sion of Congress and the public press,
but found no basis for the extreme state
ments then made.
The Secretary advocates liberal treat
ment of the Philippine government by
Congress. He recommends an appro-
priation of $25O.OGO for the development
Of the coal mines on the Island of Batan;
provision for retirement of American
civil employees after long and faithful
service; adoption Of the bill providing
for expenditure of $1O,O0O.OOO in public
improvements: legal encouragement for
mining Of gold and other minerals, and
adoption OF the pending bill increasing
the amount Of land which may be home
steaded or sold to individuals. =.
He recommends also the conversion of
the Philippine scouts and constabulary
into one body. which he believes would
save about 81 ,OOO, 600 a year to the United
States.

ing to report made at a meeting of

Judge Bundy, who had another meeting
to attend. Resolutions from various as
sociations looking toward an inquiry into

ferred to the executive committee.

ference with a committee Of the body In
order that matters might be arranged
satisfactorily.
1t Is planned to have luncheon at the
January meeting of the association. This
matter was brought up by Charles c.

tertainment will also be provided for this
meeting with several prominent residents
in the list Of speakers.

Particular pleasure was expressed by
Dr.. Gibbs and others interested in the

ter was brought up at a recent meeting

capped under the plan then existing
The department took the matter up at
once and within ten days Battalion Chief
Donahue was located at the truckhouse
and is now in active charge Of the de-
partment through the. Columbia Heights

The indictments charge that the de-
PENDANTS. controlling IS per cent Of the
trade OF manufacturers and Of jobbers
of plumbing supplies by refusing to sell
to jobbers handling the goods of So
called independents, by the fixing Of re-
States into eleven zones and refusing to
sell to jobbers who would not maintain
the resale prices established by the al
legged agreement Of the defendants.
1t Is charged that the effect Of these re-
sale prices is to make the price Of the
the same throughout the United States
and to eliminate the competition OF job
bers as well as Of manufacturers.
Contracts With Jobbers.
The indictments charge. also. that the
defendants compelled the jobbers to enter
into uniform contracts and that all the
defendants refused to sell to any tobber
unless he would sign such a contract.
The government officials took the
ground that the evidence taken in the
civil suit established that the defendants
attempted to disguise their combination
by the subterfuge of purchasing tho pat
ents on certain tools and licensing GER
tain firms to use these tools.
The government places great weight
upon the testimony OF Edwin L. Way
man Of Pittsburg, who is described as
the licenser Of the alleged combination
and whose testimony. already given in
the civil suit, has given him immunity
from being made q defendant In the GRIM
inal proceedings.
The government charges that Wayman
obtained $1,000 from the Peoples State
Bank Of Detroit by giving 100 shares Of
the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing
Company as security, and that in using
this fund to purchase several patents
5000 went back to the Standard Manu-
featuring Company for patents that it is
alleged to have turned over to the COM
bination
Wayman is not voluntary witness
The government charges that Wayman
collected IS per furnace per day from
each Of the sixteen defendant firms, some
OF which had as many as eighty furnaces,
and that after two months those firms
that did not violate the agreement were
to receive a rebate Of so per cent OF this
contribution. Wayman's collection ran as
high as $7O0 per day.
The defendants against whom indict-
ments were found today were required to
appear at once in the United States court

PASADENA. Cal, December THE
leading society girls OF this city decline
to mingle with japanese naval men of
high rank. even to meeting them on the

ago the management Of Pasadena hotel
arranged to give ball for the COM
mander and his oflcers.
Cancelled With scant Courtesy.
The hotel people learned that society
girls would have nothing to do with the
function. 1t was found necessary to call

mirai. In the meantime he had sent out
engraved invitations for return dance
on his flagship yesterday. These were
not delivered. but were left In the key
boxes. Consequently nobody appeared
for the admirars ball:
