CENSUS RETURNS FAULTY
Major Uses Voting Strength to Prove
His Argument. =

Major Uses Voting Strength to Prove
His Argument.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Oct. g.
There is quite divergence of opinions
between Governor Hadley and the
Democratic state officials, as to the
reason the census returns for 1910,
show that the state has increased but:
six per cent in population within the
past ten years. The Governor says
this is due to past methods in erron-,
eously supposing that advantages to
be obtained here by thrifty homeseek-
ers would be known without going to
the trouble of advertising the same.
The Democratic state officials are in
clined to criticise the count, two of,
them, Attorney General Major and
Secretary Of State Cornelius Roach
going to the length Of declaring it as
| their opinion that the figures are
grossly incorrect. -..
1t is admitted that there has been
a pretty heavy immigration from
points in the Southwest and North
west, where land was offered cheap
and many flowery promises made to
those who would come there and set
| tie. But it is claimed also that there
has been a heavy inflow from other
states to Missouri.
Attorney General Major takes up
the figures of the last election to
prove that the census figures are in
correct. He places the vote cast in
1908 at $4,000. The census figures
Sow the census Of the state to be
I3,293,335. On the basis of five in
habitants to every voter, the rule
adopted everywhere, for estimates. on
population, this would give a total
population of 3,575,0OO, an increase
lover the census figures of 2s1,665. On
the census basis the voting population
of the state now ought to be but
658,667, equivalent to loss in voting
strength since 1908 and 56,333 votes.
Governor Hadley says that the les
son of the census will have a good
Ieffect in the future. He thinks that
the tide of desirable immigrants has
already been headed this way in the
future. He declares the public will
not underestimate the value of adver.
Using the advantages of the state,
which in all important respects, are
(vastly superior to those of the South,
lwest or the Northwest, whence the
tlure of cheap land has been the cause
lof many Missourians giving up good
Ihomes for worse ones abroad.
J The falling off in Buchanan coun-
ty, which includes the city of st: Jo-
seph, of nearly $4,000 has caused wide
comment. Governor Hadley says this
theavy loss can be accounted for on
1.-THE ground that the census of 1900
Twas wonderfully padded. On this
statement the Democratic officials
fagree with him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 90
These are the skeletons of the fight
game in California. The sport which
Governor James N. Gillett slew with
word has left it's bones whitening
in the sun like the mastodons of
old. Gaunt and wierd, the huge
creatures stand waiting today, but
they only serve for the harmless
display of politicians likenesses.
They go to show the hold the
fight game had on the public. To
invest $4,000 in giant arena and
hang up a purse of SOL 900 for the
fighters and clear upwards of $685.
600 in furnishing an afternoon S
sport to $4,000 men and women was
the climax. Then came the deluge.
The unfinished arena in which
Tex Richard planned to stage the
Jeffries-Johnson battle would have
contained ten such armies as that
with which Washington fought
some of the battles of the American
revolution. One-half the host which
Sherman led in his famous cam
paign in the civil war could have
been comfortably seated in 1t. And
every veteran, except he had lost
his eyes in service, would have been
able to see the expressions on the
faces of the contestants. The
arena at Reno, where the contest
was finally held, was built on con-
siderably reduced lines, seating
only 10000 persons. -t
At that fans who sat in the pie
bian $40 general admission seats
were forty feet above the ground.

AN ABANDONED ARENA.

But Louis Blot, a rival promoter,

his structure few blocks distant
and take in $4,000 in advance
ticket sales before threats by the
governor to send the militia to the
ringside to prevent the fight,
checked him. Langford, the black

IS CALLED OFF

That proposed game between the
Spokane Indians and the Portland
team of the Coast league, has been
officially called off.
Judge McCredie, owner of the
Portland team, was willing that the
game should be played, but so much
objection was made by the mag
mates of the southern teams of the
league that it was decided to drop
the project.
The principal cause for objection
was that there was no sense in run
ming the risk of using up pitcher
or injuring player in an eXhibi-

in the Coast league had not yet
been decided.

Bolton, Eng, Dec. 22.-More than

is located little distance outside this

The explosion occurred early in the
morning, soon after the miners had
entered the pit to. begin work. Its
force was terrific and later investiga
ton showed that the lower passages
had been blocked. Heroic efforts
were made by rescue parties all day
long, but fierce fire which followed
the explosion prevented the rescuers
from penetrating beyond 400 yards
into the workings.
The explosion resulted in the tenn
porary disablement of the machinery
whereby the cages are lowered and
some time elapsed before the first res
cue party could reach the bottom OF
the pit. Eight men in all were res.
cued, but the majority of these were
in a serious condition from the nOX

How the Men Met Death.
Several hours after the fire started
a wooden canopy fell from the beef
house of Morris & Co., carrying with
it tons of red hot bricks and debris
upon two companies of firemen and
the chief, crushing them to death and
encasing their bodies in a veritable
furnace, into which their comrades
were unable to dig for several hours,
so that practically all those who were
not killed outright when the walls fell
were roasted to death before help
could come to them.
Assistant Chief William Burroughs
and Lieutenant Fitzgerald were with
the marshal under the fatal canopy
when it fell and went down to their
death with Marshal Koran.
Other firemen, witnesses of the dis
aster which met their chief, for a
brief time deserted the other parts of
the blazing structure and, rushing to
the pyre, sought with their bare hands
to drag apart the glowing bricks and
debris to bring the body of their chief
and his i'll fated comrades to what
safety remained for them. Finding
this vain effort they obeyed again
the direction of Assistant Marshal
Seyferlich and redoubled their efforts
to shut in the spreading area of de-
struction.
An explosion occurred on the top
floor of warehouse No. and the roof
was blown into the air. Flames shot
skyward and half a. dozen companies
of fremen who had stationed them
selves on the further end of the roof
narrowly escaped being struck by fly
ing debris. They managed to Chamber
down fire escapes in time to escape.
