Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1910-05-01

Iials cf the Board Of Trade that he would do everything possible to give inc Bluff and Jefferson county it's full quota of people in the final cen sus reports.
 l Realizing that Pine Bluff was about 10 be greatly injured in an adyertis- ing and commercial way with an un- fair census total, Postmaster Furtr yesterday instructed every mail car :. Tier in the city and those on the ru lal route throughout the county to rake inquiries at each home visited during the. day as to whether or net the homes had been visited by cen sus men, ln the many instances where fersons reported having been =over- looked by the enumerators, the post men have listed them and turned the James in to the postmaster They will continue this work Monday and arobably Tuesday, as it seems to be the most effective way to get the "de- iinquents.'
 i The reports, which reached the Board Of Trade headquarters and the l.ostoffice yesterday were startling In some cases as many as thirty men in one mill have been overlooked and as far as they know not one member of their families were visited by the enllmefatCrs The thirty emnloyes referred to are at the Y. 0. C. Brick tompanys plant. Nearly as many men, employed at Sanders mills were also overlooked In three blocks along the Cotton Belt railroad tracks and just opposite the plant of the Sawyer and Austin Lumber Company ten families were overlooked. Not che of the party of men who occupy l bachelor quarters in the Norris build ;, in. and the Scul building on West l, Second avenue. within hlocl1 of the l 9stofice, were counted. Persons report having been missed by the emu 'nerators on East Fifth avenue East Seventh avenue, East Second avenue. l West Twelfth avenue, Hazel street, Fourteenth avenue, Pennsylvania street and in many other sections of the city
 In Niyen and Melton townships, where several hundred families live, there has been no enumeration. The men appointed to do the work failed tc respond Efforts to get men to i'll their places failed. One of the most prominent ministers of the city reported last night that he had been overlooked. It appears that some of the enumerators have been very neg ligent in the heart of the city.
 The list of names in the hands of Postmaster Furth and Secretary Cald- ! we'll will total more than a thousand, it is believed, and many have not been listed who are indifferent about re- porting the fact to the proper author ities. In the Second ward includ ing the territory between Main street and the city limits, south of Twelfth avenue, where Wilbur Orto did the government work, not one person was overlooked At least that is the on- lv section of the city not represented ir the complaints made up to this time.
 It is believed that Judge Howell will be thoroughly convinced of the poor census work in.this city and will take immediate action to remedy it.. Pine Bluff ought to be granted ten days longer to complete the canvass and this will be urged by the Board of Trade at the meeting Monday after noon. Indifference displayed by many persons and the fact that many per sons were not at home when the enu- n,erators called is believed to be re- sponsible for many of them being missed.
