Census Figures Show Big
Increase In Population.

Washington, D. C. Aug. 28-The
population of Buffalo, N. Y. is 423,-
us, an increase of 1928. or 20,2
per cent, as compared with 352,387
in 1900.
Denver, Col, has a population of
213,381, an increase of 1892 or 59.4
per cent, as compared with 133,859
in 1900.
The population of Paterson, N. j.,
is 125,6O0, an increase of 20.429, or
1914 per cent, as compared with
1O5,171 in 1900. That of East Orange,
N. j., is 34,371, an increase of 1885,
or 1913 per cent, as compared with
21,506 in 1900.
1t is the belief of the census of
fcers now that the population of
the United States, including the in
sular possessions, will approximate
1OO,O0O,000. A year ago it was es-
timated that the population of the
states, based upon the rate of gain
for the decade between 1890 and
1900, would be in the neighborhood
of 100000.

$4,000 DOLLARS
Blind Tigers Fines Amounts
To Approximately Four
Thousand Dollars In
Mayors Court.

For two solid days, the mayors
court has been on steady grind.
Nineteen cases against citizens
charged with keeping whiskey on
hand for sale have been tried and
disposed of. One case was dismissed
and nineteen violators of the prohl-
bition law were found guilty and the
mayor passed on them. Nearly four
thousand dollars was realized from
fines which will 60 into the city
treasury for the Improvements OF
the city.
The trial lasted from early morn
ing until late in the afternoon and
at seven o'clock last night, the bulk
of the cases had been disposed of.
There are four more cases to be dis
posed of and it is understood that
the mayor will take them up at the
regular session of the mayors court
this morning.
The blind tiger business in this city
is bound to be broken up by the city
officials. The chief of police and his
assistants have worked hard and
have made an honest effort to rid the
city of blind tigers and with the
number brought before the mayor
during the last two days is sufficient
evidence of how we'll their work has
been done.
An active campaign will be kept

reckoning is coming if the violators
insist on the breaking of the law.

The City Court.

Judge E. Wall held the most i'm
portant and eventful term of the
city court in its history last week.
The results mark new era in
blind tiger circles, and many people
now begin to wonder if after all pro-
hibition will not sooner OF later pro-
hibit.
Judge Wall let it be known early
in the session that the important
cases must be and would be tried
and that frivilous excuses would not
take place of legal showingS, and in
his sentences he created the impress
sion that he would not treat lightly
convictions against the prohibition
law.
But to Judge Wall not all the
credit is due, Solicitor Mcdonald was
energetic and vigorous in his prose
cutions, and the Enterprise has some
share in the outcome in the moral
sentiment that backed the court and
helped the jury to a better under.

Altogether the effect of the weeks
work will have a most salutary effect

sentences on.
