A BOYHOOD RECOLLECTION

Remember the old swimmin' hole? These hot, midsummer days bring the picture back with all it's delightful colorings It was down by the river or creek-we called it "crick' then and there were low-hanging elms over the banks, under whose roots a boy could almost hide. Most of it was hardly more than waist deep, al- though over at one end it was most five feet, and unless you were an awfully big boy the water was over your head. You could take as many as five swimming strokes there with out being able to touch bottom once.
 That water would hardly tempt you now; the board of health would be likely to condemn it. It was not ex- actly limpid-but oh,. how inviting it was.
 Pity the poor unfortunate lad who had to wear shoes and stockings in those days. How he did envy the boys whose toilet consisted in getting into or out of two garments-shirt and overalls. You assembled at the mystic sign of two fingers and hur- ried to the pool. There was a mad haste to get out of your clothes and an unwillingness to come out of the water even if it was long after SUD- per time. Often you were half drec sed when some more boys arrived, where upon you promptly stripped again and went in with them
 Sanitary? Lord no! But what fun. You may go bathing in the surf and all the panoply of sterlized bathing suits from now till dooms doy. but you can never equal that muddy old swim min hole. E But then, alas! you can never be boy again.-Boston Trave- Ter.

Tell of a Surrender.

me testimony yesterday is said tc nave been entirely corroborative ot that obtained on Wednesday The witnesses are said to have stated that agents from the trust packers an. preached them two years ago and made propositions. Many of the packers fell into line, among them being the New York Retail Butchers and Meat Dealers Association. the Dig corporation organized to fight the trust. Without the big con- cern to stand by them, the individual packers gave up the fight and since then competition in the East, if was said, has been at a standstill.
 The southern witnesses testified re- gardlng the agreements made in Georgia. A few months ago indict- ments were returned by the federal grand jury at Savannah against sey- eral packers, charging them with op- eratlng in violation of the anti-trust law. The witnesses brought to Chi cago were among those who had tes tified there.
 Three wholesale meat dealers from the East also were before the inoui- sltorlal body yesterday. They were F. s. Driscoll, Boston Clifford Dyer. Portland, Me, and Bradbury Robin son, Boston.
 Big Companies Next.
 So far the officers and employees of the National Packing Company, the alleged parent of the trust, and wholesale meat dealers, have been the only witnesses called before the grand jury Offers and employees of the Armour, Morris and Swift compa- nies have been subpoenaed, however, and in a few days the grand jurors will begin an investigation of each.
 While the grand jury is hard at work under the supervision of Assist ant Attorney General w. s. Kenyon and United States District Attorney Sims, special agents of the Depart ment of Justice are working through cut the country getting evidence that will be presented to the inqui itorial body.
 The grand jury paused in it's 'beef" investigation for a short time yester- day and heard witnesses in the case of Mrs. Nettie Jenkins of Houghton, Mich., alleged white slaver.'' She Is the first woman to be arrested un- der the Mann white slave law. and is charged with having tried to take girls out of the state for improper purposes. Five girls whom Mrs. Jen- kins had with her when she was ar rested were witnesses against her. Earlier in the day Mrs. Jenkins had been arraigned before United States Commissioner Foots and held to the grand Jury under $10,000 bail.

BIG INCREASE
 IN POPULATION Census Report Will Show a Marvellous Growth In
 the South.
LARGEST IS IN TEXAS
ponublicans Will Make Effort to Pass Now Force Bill to Cut Down Rep
 resentation In Congress.

Washington, D. e., July 23.-Al- thouas official figures showing the growth of the Southern states in pop ulation are dribbling from the census bureau, enough have been given pub licity to justify the expectations that tho sensation of the 1910 census will he tha amazing increases in popula- ton in the South.
 The figures for Nueces county, Tex as, issued yesterday, complete the re- turns for fifty-one counties in that state. The counties show popula- tion of 817,475 in 1910, as compared with 552,9O6 in 1900, gain of 46 per cent.
 This percentage, which is main- tained throughout Texas will mean gain of 1,403,606 people in the state or total population of almost 4,500,- 900.
 For Nueces county teh census bu- reau reported a population of 21,955 in 1910, as against 10,437 ten years ago, an increase of no per cent.
 Knox county showed 300 per cent advance and Tom Green county close to 400 per cent.
 Get New Congressman.
 Returns from other states are scattering.
 Without exception the figures from Oklahoma and from the "old South Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama record startling increases.
 On the present basis of represen- tation in congress, member to ev- cry 19400o of the country's population the returns from only forty-one coun- ties entitled Texas to another member of the houee. If the ratio of increase is maintained, Texas will get seven additional members and have a del la- gation consisting of twenty-three
 The scattering figures from other parts of the South and Southw vest, most notably in Oklahoma, presage a like advance in political power and importance. For this reason, talk of renewing the Northern demand for limiting Southern representation is becoming general. The Northern Re- publicans are practically sure to make another effort to pass a force bill, under which representation would be based upon the vote cast in- stead of upon the census returns.
 One Cause of Delay.
 It was stated at the census bureau this afternoon that one cause of the delay in issuing statements showing the population of the different com munities was the routine established for insuring accuracy of compilation. For instance it was cited that after the sheets leave the tabulating ma chimes they are submitted to the spe- cial examining committee whose bus mess it is to see by comparison with other reports on similar areas of ter ritory that there are no bad blunders or Inconsistencies. The sheets are then passed on to Chief Statistician Hunt, who in turn passes them to Di- rector Durand Hence the exact fig ures pertaining to any community are not ready for publicity until O.. K'd by the director of the census.

QUITS HIS POSITION TO
SPITE HIS FAMILY
Wife Says Husband Gave Up Job
With Uncle Sam

OAKLAND, May 5.-Thomas f. Gavi-
gan, who. since he left his wife and
family, has been living at rs Seventh
avenue, San Francisco, abruptly quit his
life job in the quartermaster's depart
ment of the army in San Francisco
merely to keep his months salary from
going to support his wife and their two
small children.
He, according to her charges, not
only threw away his civil service place,
with its substantial salary and the hope
of retirement, but he put himself in
jeopardy OF prison. Gavigan will be
examined before Police Judge Smith
next Tuesday on a charge of neglecting
to provide for his family. He was ar
rested late last night and locked up in
default of $4,000 bail.
The woman had sued for divorce, and
when the summons was served on Cav
igan there was issued a court order
against drawing his salary. The hus-
band hurried to San Francisco, drew his
months salary before the order had
been served at the quartermaster's de-
partment, and resigned his position, his
wife complained when she swore to a
warrant for his arrest.

AUDITORS BOOKS
TO BE EXPERTED
Mayor and Council Committee
Will Have All Alameda Ac-
counts Inspected

ALAMEDA, May 5--The books of
City Auditor and Assessor Fred j. Croll
are to be exported in line with the pol
icy adopted by the mayor and the
finance committee of the city council.
according to Mayor William H. Noy.
An expert is now at work on the a
counts in the Office of City Treasurer
and Tax Collector Oswald Lubbock. and
as soon as he has completed his labors
there he probably will be assigned 10
CrolPs office. The mayor and the
finance committee of the city council
have decided to have all of the accounts
Iof the city thoroughly inspected, so that
the administration may be in a position
to know the financial condition of each
department..
1--WE are having the accounts Of the
lefty exported for business reasons and
not to harass any city official" said
Mayor Noy. "An expert is now at work
in the office of the city treasurer and
tax collector and we also plan to have
him go over the books in the Office of
the city auditor-assessOr.
"The administra tion desires to know
just how the accounts of the city stand
and we expect that this will be ascer-
tanned by the certified accountant. No
city official can justly take umbrage at
an investigation of his Office and it
would be foolish for him to do so. We
are not having the exporting done with
the expectation of uncovering discrep-
ancies and we trust that none will be
discovered
