tate Awaited Her.

NEW YORK, December 3.-Death be-
gan unraveling today. the tangle in which
Mrs. Anna Hasnack and the man known
as Henry Hasnack, who passed for her
husband, lived unquestioned by their
neighbors.
If the woman had lived until Monday
morning she would have come into 81 600
Instead her body was found today be-
side that of Henry Hasnack in their lit

Mrs. Hasnack, he said, separated from
her husband, Peter, fourteen years ago.
Peter was a paver and died six months
ago.
The union was to pay the widow bene-
fiji, which, with the sum Peter left, would
come to $1,000. That amount was to have

The verdict came after day spent in
argument by attorneys and the reading
Of the instructions by Judge Gregory
Although there were four possible ver-
diets the jury might have returned under
the instructions of the court, the verdict
was merely. murder" The evidence pre-
sented against Vending was purely cir
cumstantiaL Since his arrest and through
out his trial he denied any knowledge Of
the fate Of the Kellner child.
Testimony Of Witnesses.
Witnesses testified, however, that

Cut in Census Bureau When
Total Population Is Given.
ALL ON TEMPORARY LIST
FIGURES NAY BE s1,1ss,4 ,4sO
Estimate Based on Rate Of Increase
Shown in States Where Count
Has Been Completed.

When the final count to ascertain the
total population of the United States is
made next Saturday the heads 6f about
12O of the census bureaus employees will
be Topped Off. All of those who will lose
their positions have been employed at
punching cards and are on the temporary
list.
Director of the Census Durand said
last night that the clerks had known for
some time that the force would be re-
duced as the work was completed. and
that all of the clerks would have been
given employment for from six months to
a year when they ere released. He said
that they had not been promised longer
employment.
Other Reductions Coming.
Other reductions in the census force will
be made in January and in March, said
Mr.. Durand. BY the middle Of march, he
said. the force would have been reduced
by from COO to 500.
The population of the United States
should be OF, 49,, 400 If the rate of increase
shown by the states on which complete
returns have been received and tabulated
by the census Office is maintained. {.
Counting New Mexico and Arizona for
present purposes as states, the full re-
turns of the enumeration under the thir-
teenth census have been tabulated for
thirty-three out Of the forty-nine and
the District Of Columbia. They show q
grand total Of 68.355, It's. as against
81, 299, ,636 for the same area in 1900 This
is a gain of just 20 per cent over the
75.994, ,575 indicated by the census of 1900
A corresponding increase for the sixteen
remaining states would bring the figure
for the entire country up to the number
stated.
States Not Announced.
The states not yet announced are Ar
kansas. Georgia, Kentucky. Louisiana.
Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, North
Carolina. North Dakota, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Texas, Utah. Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
OF these, it is expected that Texas and
Washington will show very large in
creases. and that Georgia, New Jersey,
Montana, Utah, Wyoming and the Da-
kotas will go beyond the average, SO that
there is little doubt that the grand total
will be even more than the present tabu-
lation indicates. 1t would not be sur
prising II the aggregate would be almost
81, 500, ,OO0 which is million and a half
more than has been generally estimated.
= The aggregate increase in the thirty
three grand divisions accounted for, is
11,O55,542. Oklahoma, with 1907 per
cent, and Idaho, with 1913 per cent, are
the only states whose increases have run
over 100 per cent, and Iowa is the only
state which has shown q decrease.

FOR BIG SHOW HERE
Business Men Bent on Pan
anna Canal Celebration.
PLANS ARE NOT Definite
Chamber Of Commerce and Board of
Trade in Accord.
JOINT COMMITTEE TO MEET
Project Expected to Take Shape
acknowledgements Are
Being Sounded.
PLANS ARE NOT Definite
JOINT COMMITTEE TO MEET

The Chamber of Commerce and Board
of Trade will work shoulder to shoulder
to obtain for Washington official recOg-
milton from Congress for great celebra-
ton of the opening of the Panama canal
when the canal is completed. All other
civic bodies will be invited to join in
the general movement in favor Of the
plan.
While there is unanimous belief that
Washington should be the place for the
official celebration of the completion of
the greatest work ever undertaken by
the country, the character of the cele-
bration has not been deteHmined, even by
the men who are most in favor of the
project. They are busily engaged in feel
ing out the members of Congress who
are arriving in Washington on this
subject.
Congress Endorsement Sought.
1t is realized that it would be difficult
to prevail upon Congress to make large
appropriation for an exposition in this
city. when San Francisco and New Or
leans stand ready to go ahead with an
international exposition in honor Of the
canal opening without asking Congress
for money. The spirit of economy which
is evinced by all the branches of the
'tion of SIMS of money by the govern
ment for exposition purposes.
But that 1t will be possible to get
through Congress authorization for a
celebration in Washington. the National
Capital and natural point at which to
invite foreign nations to join in ceiebrat-
ing the event, is the belief of the men,
bers of the joint committee Of the Board
of Trade and the Chamber Of Commerce
which has charge of the movement at
present.
The celebration may cover a week or
two weeks, or even longer period. Tn
doubtedly it will bring thousands Of per-
sons to this city. From the standpoint
Of the business men 1t will be an ex-
cellent thing.
Project May Take Shape Thursday.
= The joint committee has completed
vast amount OF preliminary work In re-
gard to the celebration. When 1t meets
Thursday afternoon at the Chamber of
Commerce II will be to take some definite
action in regard to the matter, It is said.
The recent announcement that the
canal will be completed in 1913 instead of
1915, as originally promised. makes 1t
imperative that the plans for the cele-
OfdIlOu Dc uOt IclI " IuC uiStdA( Autu G.
The strong competition between San
Francisco and New Orleans for the honor
may. however. end in preventing any def
mite action by Congress at this, short
session. Also 1t may result in advanc-
ing the interests of Washington.
Congress may tell the two cities to go
ahead with their celebrations and expo
sitionS, that the event Is big enough to
be celebrated at several points in the
country, AMI may select Washington as
the proper place for the official demon
stration. since 1t Is hardly practicable to
hold celebration of large proportions at
the canal itself.

SALIDA. Colo, December 3.-Walter
Archer. a seventeen-year-old boy, met
death this afternoon when he fell from q
height Of probably 700 feet In an aero
plane which he had constructed. The
machine struck the earth on rocky ground
and the boys body was terribly crushed
Unknown to any one. Archer built the
aeroplane. using hickory wood. covered
with tarpaulin. for the planes. The power
was furnished by small secondhand
electric motor, attached to the feed wires
Of the Salida Light and Power Company
by a coil Of wire carried on the machine
The fight was made near the company's
plant, eight miles from the city. and as
the young aeronaut told no one Of his in
tention but few people witnessed the act.
Evidently the machine got beyond Arch
er's control and rose higher than he in
tended. breaking the wire which fur
nished the power.

Two Die in Eighty-Foot Fall.

ROME. December 3.-An aeroplane car
rying an Italian officer and a private
fell from height of eighty feet at the
military grounds at CentoceIle this even
ing. Both men were killed instantly. The
aeroplane, which was Farman machine.
was in charge of Engineer Cammarota
and the accident appears to have been
due to an attempt to make q short turn.
Cammarota Is the third Italian officer
to be killed in aeroplane accidents in the
last four months. Lieut.. Vivaldi and
Lieut. Saglietti both met death while
making flights. the former last August
while returning to Rome from the mill
tary aviation field. and the latter while
maneuvering in military biplane.

Eight or nine trains carrying farm

LOT q feet.
There is little doubt of the ability
of the United States to fortify the
canal effectively. Whether or not it
has the right to do SO according to
the agreement with Great Britain is
a mora involved question.
No Question az to Riaht. :,
Apart from, treaty {. considerations
the right of the United States cannot
be questioned. The United States
controls the ten-mile strip through
which the canal runs as much as it
controls the Philippine Islands. This
country spent hundreds of millions
OF dollars to dig the waterway. The
right of the United States to erect
what Notifications it .pleases within
its own territory and to defend its
own possession cannot be questioned.
Those who object to the fortifica-
ton are either the Militant adyo-
Gates" of universal peace. notably Cen
eral J. Warren Keller of Ohio, whose
reasons were based on antiwar senti-
mant or persons who hold that 1t is
contrary to the spirit of the. Hay.
Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain.
Against the peace advocates there
is only one argument-whether it is
wise or foolish to promote the cause
of universal peace by exposing to the
attacks OF belligerent country or the
Vaccinations of an individual with a
stick of dynamite, the waterway which
has cost hundreds of millions and
which will be OF incalculable value to
the commerce Of tina world.

clause which stands in the way of the

treaties regarding the Suez Canal bu,
mot all Of them and as the circum
stances under which it will have beer
built and administered are quite differ
ent from those affecting the suez
route. it Is not contended that all the
regulations adopted in the case of the
latter canal could apply to the Panama
Canal.
Canal Must be Neutral.
The treaty itself, therefore, does
not specify whether or not the canal
shall be fortified. : It does, however,
stipulate that it shall be neutral. This
was the purpose of the framing of the
treaty. The object OF Great Britain
was to obtain from the United States
assurance that the control Of the ca
nal would not be exercised by the
United States for the benefit of any
country as against another country In
time Of war.
AS an example, II Germany were 10
fight Japan the United States was not
to open the canal to Germany and
close it to Japan or wee versa, nor
was it to allow either country to Sc
cure an advantage over the other by
bottling up the canal.
This being the case, army and navy
experts point out, it is not only the
privilege but the obligation of the
United States to fortify the canal in
order that its provisions may be guar
anteed and that the provisions of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty may be strictly
observed.
The plans of the board of fortifi-
cations are now before President Taft.
Congress will take them up at its next
session and the question will be de-
cided once for all.
