CENSUS SHOWS
SMALL DECREASE
ENUMERATION OF SCHOOL
FALLING OFF DUE, 1T is STAT
ED, TO INACCURACIES
LAST YEAR.

Due, it is stated to inaccuracies in
school census of Conway special dis
triet completed this morning shows a
decrease of 119 persons of school age
during the past year. The census of
1909, made by Superintendent S. S.
Waters, showed school population
Of 1879. The census for this year,
made by O. w. Anderson, makes the
population l,160.
Secretary S. E. Anderson says the
enumeration has been carefully com
pared with that of the previous year,
and the decrease does not show a loss
in actual population, as the last
years list showed a large number of
names repeated, padding the list of
that year to a considerable extent.
That something is wrong some
where is clearly shown in the com
parative enrollnents of the district
for the two years. There can be no
mistake in these figures, as they are
taken directly from the teachers reg
listers and show the number ana
names of the pupils actually entering
the schools in the district. These
figures show that the total enrolment
for the year ending June 80, 1909,
was 778, while for the year ending
June SO, 1910, it increased to 935, a
net gain of 157 in the II months. 1t
is, of course, preposterous to suppose
that the enrolment in the schools
would have increased 157 while the
school population decreased 119. In
other words, it is entirely unlikely
that, while in 1909 there were sol
persons of school age in the district
not enrolled in the public schools, this
number should decrease in one year to
225.
The decrease in the enumeration
will mean the loss of several hundred
dollars to the district, as the state
school fund is apportioned to the dis
trict according to population.
The enumeration and enrolment
figures follow:

JURORS IN CALHOUN CASE.
Grand Jury Asked to Investigate
Charges Against Prosecution.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ga ire
mendous sensation has been caused here
by the discovery that during the ia
nous Calhoun trial secret instructions
to jurors and the prosecutor were pub
lished daily in cr%yptogram form in a
local paper. These cryptograms appear
to reveal wholesale attempts on the
part Of the prosecution to pack the
jury box. One of the cryptograms in
wolves the court itself. The new dis
trict attorney will submit facts and
evidence to the grand jury regarding
the matter.
Former District-Attorney Heney,
who represented the prosecution in the
Calhoun case. denies all knowledge of
the matter, out he and his associate,
Burns. will be called upon to explain.
Patrick Calhoun has demanded a
thorough investigation of the whole af-
fair. An indictment will be sought.
and also the impeachment of the judge
of the Superior Court, before whom
the case was tried.

WOmEN I'D A ROLLER CLUB.
Plump Members Declare It Is the Best
Thing For Reducing Flesh.

Muscogee. Okla. has a roller club.
Its members are all young women, and
they roll themselves to reduce their
flesh. They belong to the best society
of the town.
1t all started this way: A pretty but
overplump society matron astonished
her friends by losing her hips. Then
she explained that she did 1t by roll
ing. which was still more mystifying
until she elucidated further. She said
that she began by rolling over and
over on the floor as morning eSer-
else, and she found that 1t reduced
flesh rapidly. She kept at 1t until she
was reduced to what she considered
the ultra fashionable hipless form.
The result was the immediate organ
ization of the Rollers club. composed
of society matrons and maids who are
inclined to obesity. There are four
teen of them. Each morning these
women may be seen scurrying to the
home of one of their members. The
members, in kimonos or other loose
garments. lie down and roll over and
over. One hundred rolls is a morn
ing's work. One young woman uses
pajama costume to roll in because she
finds it does not wrap around and bind
the limbs.

FORTUNE FOR A FRANs Halls.
Description Of Painting For Which
Otto Kahn Paid 100000.

A magnificent Family Group" paint
ed by Frans Halls, the famous painter,
for which Otto H. Kahn, the New
York banker. recently paid $4,000,
outbidding ]. +. Morgan. and which
has been lent to the Metropolitan mu-
scum, came from the collection OF Colo
mel Warde of Westerham. 1t was
bought by John Warde at the William
Bristow sale held in Dover street, Lon
don, in 1TJ9 and remained in the
Warde family, unknown to the public,
until 1906, when 1t was shown in the
winter exhibition of old masters held
at the Royal academy in 1906 and
aroused the establishment of the art
critics that ''in these days Of connois-
seurshlp and curiosity" as the London
Times put il, such chef doeuvre of
one Of the greatest of portrait painters
should have hung for all these years
entirely unknown in an English coun-
-ry house"
The composition consists of FIVE fig
ures and dog. Eals himself and his
wife are in the center. with quaint
expression of amusement on both
faces. On the left is boy, stick In
his right hand. his left thrust into his
pocket On the right stands a girl
dressed In the stiff repetition Of her
mothers costume, suitable to the
daughters of Dutch families In that
period Between the mother and daugh-
IL, 81, do n
black page dressed in brown suit
with white collar. The shaggy coat
ed dog at the girls side is brown, and
the grave color scheme contains no
more positive note of color than the
greenish blue Of the painters collar
coat
The background Is a thick clump of
trees ON the left and on the right n
fiat country with the town of Harlem
in the distance. The whole spirit of
the scene is that of decorous gayety,
superimposed upon a structure of al
most austere dignity. Not only are the
single figures spirited and alive. but
their arrangement is brilliantly mau-
aged with splendid rhythm of tone.
The group is generally conceded to
be much finer than the one now in the
National gallery at London and fully
equal TO. if it does not surpasS, any of
the famous groups at HARLEM. The
workmanship is free and vivid. and the
period Is assumed to be about 1910,
when the painter was between fifty
and sixty years of age and in the prime
of his power He married his second
WIFE Lysbeth Renters. in 1917, and 1t
is her intelligent face that is depicted
with that subtle mingling of serious
ness and humor in the expression
which Halls knew so well how TO in
terpret with his slashing and exact
stroke.
The dimensions of the picture are six
feet seven inches by nine feet four
inches. considerably larger than the
"Beresteyn Family in the Louvre.
