HAVE YOU BEEN COUNTED
 BY CENSUS ENUMERATORS

In the interest of an accurate count the Farmer today prints a census cou- pon, to be filled out by any person who has not been enumerated. This cou- pon may be sent to Prof. William B. Bailey of New Haven. or it may be left at the Farmer office. In case It is mailed to Prof. Bailey. who is su- pervisor of the census for Connecticut, no stamp need be used upon the letter. Simply write on corner of the enve- 1ope Official Business. Census Office and drop it into the nearest letter box.
 Just now the census bureau is un- der severe criticism. principally il. Hartford. where staid old newspapers like the Hartford Courant have become almost hysterical.
 All this is because Hartford feels that in respect of population it is about to become the third city in the State. Hartford is making desperate efforts to increase it's enumeration. But 1t charges that the enumeration in Hart ford was grossly insufficient have thus far apparently not been sustained. The net result of the arpeal for un-

FRENCH SUBMARINE SUNK AND CREW DROWNED BY COLLISION
 IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 London May 26.-A French subma- rine named Pluviose was sunk today in the English Channel in a collision with a Calais-Dover packet. All the crew of the submarine were drown ed.
 The submarine was maneuvering half submerged when the collision oc- cured. There were twenty-seven men aboard. The packet was the Pas De Calias She returned to Ca lais in a damaged condition.
 A wireless message from the Pas De Calais says the collision occurred only a few miles from Calais British and French torpedo boats at once rushed to the scene.
 The weather was brilliant at the time of the accident and as the Plu- viose was only partly submerged the collision could not have resulted from an inability of the officers of either vessel to see the other.
 Submarine disasters in foreign nav ies have been frequent. The follow ing is a list of such accident:
 British submarine A 1 sunk in col lision March 27, 1900: eleven killed.

washington, May 26.-Sensational al- legations of political and civic corrup- rion, including charges that the Gug- senheim syndicate brought about the removal of two Federal officers in Alaska who were seeking to prosecute syndicate officials, became known to- day and have resulted in a demand that the Hid be lifted' from the se- cret investigation being made by a subcommittee of the Senate inves- tigating committee.
 Evidence taken in secret has grad ually leaked out and when the sub committee meets today it will prob kbly consider the advisability of open ing the doors. The investigation is in charge of Senator knute Nelson (Re- publican, Minn.), as chairman; Sena- Dor Borah. (Republican, Idaho). and Eenator Overman Oemocrat, North Earolinao

It was alleged that United States District At Aorney John B. Boyce and United States Marshal D. A. Sutherland were dismissed because after convicting a Guggenheim employe they began the work of securing indictments against linen higher up.''
 Sutherland Is a Massachusetts man and Senator Lodge has been active in irving him a chance to clear him self of charges brought against him by alleged friends of the Guggenheim interests.
 ] Against Boyce and Sutherland are Governor W. B. Clark of Alaska, ex- iGovernor w, B. Hoggatt and National Eummittee Shackleford.
 The battle of Keystone Canyon near fVaidex on September 25, 1907, is fcharged by Boyce and Sutherland to have been the starting point of the trouble. The Guggenheims had con- structed a railroad grade in the can of Valdez organized the Alaska Home Railway Company announced their in fention of taking possession of the grade. The Guggenheims sent up a force of men to work on the grade and Valdez dispatched an expedition fo dislodge them. The Guggenheim force was led by Edward Hasey, who was clothed with the power of Uni ted States deputy marshal a fact that is pointed out as an evidence of the alleged favor with which the magnates were regarded by the court.

RAGING BILL
 NOW GOES TO
 THE GOVERNOR
Special from United Press.)

Albany, May 26.-The state Senate today passed the Perkins bill mak- ing officers and directors of racing associations criminally responsible if betting is permitted on grounds con- trolled by them. The bill has al- ready passed the House and will now go to the Governor.
 Soon afterward the assembly pass ed the Agnew bill which prohibits oral betting on racetracks, the vote being 92 to 45. It had already pass ed the Senate.
 The passage of these two bills is believed to mean the beginning of the end of horse racing in New York state It is expected that Governor Hughes will sign the bills and that the racing associations will run off the spring stakes and the sport in this state will end with the Saratoga meeting in August.

enumerated persons has produced not more than 800 names. and some of these, it is believed, will be found on the sheets turned in by the official enumerators.
 The item of population is only an in- cident Of the census. and, standing alone, would be of little value. Never theless, the figures should be as accur- ate as possible. all the more that the omission of a name may take out in- formation upon all the other points covered by the census.
 Bridgeport has no mere pride of numbers. It is the city of homes. and regards rather the degree of comfort and happiness in which it's citizens live than the mere number of them.
 Nevertheless the census will be more valuable if it is entirely accurate. Any persons who have not been enumerated will contribute to this accuracy by filling out the census coupon. Inci- dentally. if they are interested in hay ing Bridgeport the second city in the State in population by the official fig ures of Uncle Sam they will be helping to make it so.

Watchful and Helpful Christ.

Jesus had sent the disciples away from
Him: but He was never away from them.
Up on the mountain. in communion with
the Father, bathed in the effulgence that
never broke on land Or sea, His eye was
on that boat, tossed by the angry waters.
1t was near the time of the passover. and
the moon would be nearly full. But 1t was
not by the natural eye that Jesus looked
upon the disciples. There were times in
His life at which He showed that He
could see across all distances. 1t was
with the eye that watched by the bedside
OF Lazarus, though two days journey
away, that He watched those discouraged
men.
But If He knew their condition so init
mately, why did He not sooner come to
their rescue? The answer is: 1t was just
because He knew 1t so intimately that His
coming was delayed. There is loving
purpose in all of Gods dealings with His
children. His delays are evidences of His
love- When Lazarus died Jesus remained
in distant Perea two full days before He
started for Bethany. He permitted Peter
to remain in prison until the day was be-
ginning to dawn on which he was to be
executed God is never In a hurry. Pos
sessed of infinite power. seeing the end
from the beginning. He can wait until the
clock strikes the moment in which the de-
Iiyerance will be most signal. And this
is the explanation of Gods delays. David,
4, 900 years ago, had learned this secret.
when he said: wait on the Lord; be of
good courage and He shall strengthen
thine heart. Wait, / say, on the Lord"

Superhuman Christ.

The law of gravitation is recognized by
all men. Objects are drawn to earth in
proportion to their weight Science de-
clares that to this there can be no ex-
ception. Jesus had given evidence of His
superhuman power in almost all realms.
He had healed the sick. cleansed the
lepers. given sight to the blind; He had
cast out devils, stilled the tempest and
fed the multitude. He was now to
enter another domain and to demonstrate
His power over the law Of eravitation
Quaint Bishop Hall says: "All elements
are alike to their Maker He that had
we'll approved His power on the land. will
now show it in the air and on the water;
He that had preserved the multitude
from the peril of hunger in the desert
will now preserve His disciples from the
perils of the tempest in the sea-
But there was more than this. He not
only showed power over gravitation. He
showed power over space. 1t was all in
timation and a promise Of the time when
all our earthly ideas Of rapid travelling
viii, have become ant'quated. We will
travel with the rapidity Of thought, and
the consultations shall be our play
grounds. He came to them walking on
the waters. At His command the yeasty
pillows would become as adamant.

The Frightened Disciples.

How often it happens that we are ter
rified at the approach of the only thing
that can rescue us. There was no one
for whom the disciples so longed as
Christ. but their knowledge of the sea
would have made them reject the thought
of His coming as an absurdity. The
majestic figure coming so rapidly over
the pillows was calculated to strike ter
ror to all hearts. They were strong men.
They had braved many peril but what
nerves can be quiet in the presence of a
spirit? They cried out for fear 1t Is
easy and perhaps natural for us at this
distance to smile at the fear of these
strong men, but it seems to me that that
fear and cry were most natural. We
all believe in spirits. but we have never
seen one. But If one should cross our
path. appearing to us in our home or on
the highway. We may be sure that the
bravest heart would quail and the strong
est knees would tremble.
What q relief were those words Of the
Master: BE of good cheer; it is I; be
not afraid Wonder and joy filled every
heart and toll and danger and fear were
at once forgotten.
