ing the last week, the tailors Of the
country have decided on what IS to De
fashionable in the way of spring at
tire for gentlemen, and have rung III
MANY innovations of a more or less
radical kind.
First of all. peg-top trousers are
doomed, with the revival OF what -
termed as the natural" trousers. These
according to the model, appear to be a
medium between skin tight and baggy'
The sack, or morning coat will grow
shorter by several inches. Thirty
inches will be the stylish length. Shout
der padding, like the peg-top, is also
to become extinct and instead OF
broad shoulders, the fashionable dres-
ser will assume narrow shoulders, with
a high chest" This means that what
padding will still remain will be pushed
to the front, giving the wearer a sort
of "chesty' appearance.
The Norfolk jacket will be revived IN
popularity, if the models have anything
the back will be gathered" severely,
and there must be at least three plaits
on each side in front. Then there is
another new sack coat, which has an
intersection of CLOTH one-quarter of an
inch wide traversing the peak lapel,
, Even the new fancy overcoat for
spring has a box effect It is held to-
gether with buttons measuring five
inches in circumference. Another in
novation in the sack suits is a one
button shepherd plaid made up into
single breasted coat, which resem-
bles the coat now worn by some OF
the militant suffragettes

Those who are successful in today's
examination of applicants for jobs as
job in counting noses in this city. I'm
daunted by the many difficulties in his
way. Albert Falck, national census su-
pervisor of the first New York district,
which includes all of New York coun-
ty, has mapped out his campaign and
expects that with a force of 1900 enum-
orators he will gather in the names of
every inhabitant of his territory in
period of a few weeks. Before Au-
gust l his figures are due in Wash
ington, but the local tabulation will be
completed a month before that time un-
less the present plans miscarry.
F-alck briefly outlined his campaign
and asserted that the Importance of
the enumeration from u Legislative
point of view was no greater than from
a sociological standpoint. Societies
and philanthropists are eager to get
the statistics which will show the con-
gestion, the center of population, the
preponderance of the foreign elements
| in certain quarters and other informal
ton that will assist their projects for
the amelioration of conditions.
The first problem of the supervisor
| is getting his staff of enumerators. He
is eager to get persons whose knowl-
edge of the foreign elements in the pop
I ulation will enable them to make ac-
curate reports Already he has con-
ferred with Mayor Gaynor and has
been assured that every aid will be ex-
tended to him in selecting suitable
persons.
The usual compensation OF two and
one-half cents for each name on the
list will be given to the enumerators.
except where the work is especially
difficult, as. in the Chinese quarter.

Geographers are now at work map

are expected to include a population Of
approximately 1000. This differs from

WHEAT CROP DAMAGED
Secretary of Kansas Grain Dealers
Report Declares.

Secretary e. J. Smiley of the Kansas
Grain Dealers association has issued
a report of the condition of the wheat
in the state which he says is based on
the most conservative estimates. It
will be April l before a complete re-
port is made up which will include
every county in the state.
The secretary states Mr.. sScoffield of
SeabroOk went to Kansas City today to
buy wheat for spring planting. He had
been carefully over his 160 acres of
wheat, so he reported, and found that
there were only three acres which will
not have to be plowed up.
Below is the report as given out by
Mr.. Smiley:
I'm the territory east of Blue river
and north of the main line of the
Union Pacific, comprising ten counties,
with a total acreage of 2S2, Ill, the dam
age is from so to so per cent. West of
the Blue river to the west line of
Jewell, Mitchell, Lincoln counties and
Pacific, embracing ten counties, with a
total acreage of 647,3S9 acres, the dam
age is 25 per cent. West of Jewell,
Mitchell and Lincoln counties to the
west state line and north of the main
line of the Union Pacific, embracing Is
counties, with an acreage of 1883, 1888
acres, the damage is 10 per cent. Nine
counties throughout the central south
ern part of the state, south of the main
line of the Union Pacific, having an
acreage of 81, ,516 acres, the damage is
80 per cent.
1.-The balance of the acreage in the
state, amounting to 1926, $50 acres, the
damage is not to exceed 10 per cent"

By Almost Unanimous Vote
Naval Subcommittee
Turns Down Proposition to
Honor Commander Peary.
MACON OF ARKANSAS.
Does Not Believe the Explorer
Reached the Pole.
Punches Narrative of the Jour.
ney Full of Holes.

Washington, March 9.-By a practi-
cally unanimous vote the sub-commit-
tee of the house naval committee to-
day decided aginst bestowing any re-
ward upon Commander Robert FL
Peary until he had furnished further
proofs that he discovered the North
pole.
Il confess that I am exceedingly
skeptical about Mr.. Peary's ever
having discovered the pole,'' declared
Mr.. Macon today before the commit
tee. "and am going to protest against
any honor being conferred upon him
by congress until he has established
beyond a reasonable doubt that he
did discover it. and it must be estab-
lished in the open and not in the
dark
He expressed himself as being lin
dignant at the thought of being
called upon as representative of the
American people to confer high
honor upon any one of it's citizens in
the dark" All legislation by congress
he said, ought to be open and above
board.
Mr.. Macon said he wanted to direct
attention to one discrepancy in Mr..
Pearys story This was the speed
which the explorer declared he made
from the time Captain Bartlett left
him until he reached the pole. Mr..
Peary said that for five days he
made 26.4 miles per day. but Mr.. Ma
con said this appeared very singular in
view of the fact that the Peary par
ty had made but 9.06 miles per day
up to the time Bartlett left.
THE astonishing part of Mr.. Peary's
statement" said Mr.. Macon, "is the
number of miles he travelled every day
after Bartlett left him and when no
white man was with him as witness,
his only companion being his negro
valet and four ESkimos.
His greatest marches, singularly,
were all north of the Bartlett camp
From that time forward. going to the
Pcle, and returning to Cape Columbia,
he claims to have made an average of
26.4 miles per day until he reached the
from the pole to Bartlett's camp, and
2S.6 miles per day from. Bartlett's camp
to Cape Columbia.
1.-The greatest speed he had made be-
fore Bartlett left him was 9.O6 miles
per day, so Peary must have made
nearly three times as great speed after
Bartlett left him as he did before, in
order to reach the POLE
Mr.. Macon declared that Mr.. Peary's
own statements showed he equalIed this
speed but twice during the entire jour-
rey to the pole. The first day he start
ed from land he made 26 miles anl on
another day made 29 miles in IA hours
of forced march. (which Mr.. Peary has
told US was about the limit of human
endurance
Mr. Macon quoted Lieutenant Shack
show that 40 to II miles per day or
slightly more perhaps, is considered the
limit of human endurance, travelling
over polar seas"

OPPOSING FORCES.
Miners and Operators Clash at Begin
ming of Conference.

Cincinnati, March 9.-Permanent
organization having been completed
the miners and operators of the CEN
trail competitive field in conference
here today, began considering the
points at issue.
The open sessions of the conference
will probably continue for two days,
during which time subjects concerning
the miner and the operator will be
frequently discussed.
Following this general discussion the
scales committee will go into executive
session to consider the question of
wages and other matters in contro-
versy.
The miners formally presented their
demands which include request for a
10 cents per ton increase in wages.
The operators at once declared they
could not grant the increase. Charles
NJ Maurer Of Ohio, speaking for the
operators, said if they acceded to the
demands they could not compete with
the nonunion mines of Kentucky and
West Virginia The miners insist on
an increase of 10 cents a ton on the
basic rate of 90 cents for pick-mined
coal and corresponding increase in the
other grades. Saturday half holidays
and a change from the screen to the
mine run basis in computing wages are
also asked.

Although Director of Public Safety
Clay still declares that the general
strike feeling is on the wane, the la
bor leaders declare they are steadily
gaining ground. Many meetings of
unorganized workers are being ad-
dressed by prominent labor organizers
each day and night and they report
many converts to the cause of trades
unionism. Many of the special dis
pensations are being withdrawn by
the union and it is declared 600 bak-
ers will join the strike today.
First Estimates Stand.
Strike leaders today said they had
no reason to change their estimates
that between 125,000 and 10000 per-
sons are idle as a result of the calling
of the general strike. The city ad-
ministration still continues to belittle
the walk out, Director of Public
Safety Clay adhering to his estimate
that less than 10000 workers respond
ed to the strike call. The figures are
considered too low as hosiery manu-
facturers, only one branch of the tex
tile industry of the city, admit that
25. 600 workers in their line alone are
now idle.
