SAYS YARNS
ARE UNTRUE
Supervisor of Census Visits
Gary and Declares That
Newspaper Stories Are
Absolutely Groundless;
Time Extended.

Francis II. Doran, supervisor of CEN
sus for this district who has been Civ
ing much of his personal attention to
the work in Lake county, where the
enumerators have met with much diff
Guilty in their work, today branded az
absolutely without foundation and as
| ridiculc-s and foolish the assertions
of the Gary Post and the Gary Tribune
| that the taking of the census in Gary
was farce and a failure.
Both papers for the past few days
have cited numerous dwellings
and hotels where the census base
not vet been taken and the amusing
things abont their charge is that the
enumerato~S have never presumed to
cover he territory mentioned in these
articles of wall and woe. 1t is quite
| natural, the supervisor asserts, that,
after thing moment. it occur to some
people that certain names had not yet
been taken when the census was only
about half finished ~
AS a result of the difficulties encoun-
tered in this city with the foreigners,
it has been found necessary to extend
the time for the completion of the
work fifteen days. This will permit a
thorough canvas of the city and by that
time there will be but few persons who
will not have been booked by the
| enumerators
Mr.. Doran said today:
conditions are not anything like
what two of the Gary papers pictured
| it in the taking of the census, although
we naturally have had trouble in this
city, because of the foreign popula-
ton. OF course, it is impossible for us
to get all of the names, but the per-
centage which we miss will be no
greater than it should be in cities like

them have ever Said tat they were nm
