WOMAN NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH UNDER LOCOMOTIVE

LONG BEACH, Nov. 7.-Confused
by the approaching train, a woman
whose name has not been ascertained
had a narrow escape from death this
morning beneath the wheels of the
9:43 Salt Lake train from Los Angeles.
The woman ran in front of the loco
motive as it pulled into the local
depot, the pilot of the engine brush
ing her dress.
= The engineer applied the brakes,
stopping the train almost instanta-
neously.

which they were paid substantial fees
by the Htigants.
The captain arrived upon the scene
of last nights meeting appropriately
heralded by a brass band and pre-
ceded by boys carrying red fire. To
many in the crowd the color must
have been reminiscent of the wide
open days of the Harper administra-
ton and the part in it played by the
district attorney.

". P. OFFICIALS TO
Hold CONFERENCE
Levey and Schlacks to Meet in
Salt Lake and May Announce
Schumacher's Successor

Charles M. Levey, the second vice
president and general mana ger of the
Western Pacific railway, left yesterday
morning for Salt Lake city, where he
will meet and confer with Charles H.

company. relative to the organiza ton
of the traffic department
The unexpected resignation of T. M.
Schumacher as vice president in charge
Of traffic of the company. at a time the
road is preparing to open for passen-
ger traffic business, makes it necessary
that the vacancy be filled at once. Tt
has been announced that the road would
be ready for passenger business about
June 10, and according to officials in
this city efforts are to be made to carry
out the original intentions.
No one has been mentioned for the
position which will be vacated by Schu-
macher June l. 1t is said that the
appointment will come from the head
offices of the company in New York.
but authentic information is to the
effect that Levey and Schlacks will
decide upon a successor to Schumacher
before they reach San Francisco.
Schlacks has been in the east for
several weeks and he undoubtedly knew
of the intentions of Schumacher before
he left this city. He was in conference
with the heads of the road in New York
and may announce the appointment of
the new traffic manager upon his arri-
val here early next week

DIFFICULTY OF ENUMERATION

Every day we are getting blanks
from persons whose residence is in San
Francisco, but who have been absent
from this city temporarily. They ex-
plain that they have not been in po-
sition where they could act earlier. San
Francisco is a hard city to enumerate
without a lot of interpreters. 1t is, in
fact, a series of cities In one. We have
been compelled to employ Chinese, Jap
anese, Turkish, Spanish, French, ItaI-
ian and Hindu interpreters. There are
more representatives of the various ma
tionalities here than the outsider would
anticipate. Hence the interpreters have
been corps of some size. Thousands
of names that were not taken in the
house to house inquiry for facts will be
added to the roll before the count. is
ended. How many thousands of such
there are 1 can not guess and certainly

United States census in this city, smiled
expansively yesterday afternoon when
he was told that some one was circu-
latfng, report that the official count
of San Francisco would show a total
population less than 400 900.
No one knows what the population
is" he said, "and no one will know
until after the first of June. The pub
lie Will not know until August when
the returns for cities of 10000 popula-
tion and more will be made public. In
the meantime L may say that I have
heretofore expressed my opinion that
the census will show San Francisco to
have more than 100000 inha abitants. I
am OF the same opinion STILL
can you not make an estimate that
will come near the probable total?'
the census taker was asked
NO ESTIMATE GIVEN
No., Captain Baldwin replied prompt
ly. The government will not permit
any one connected with the census to
give out any estimate for publication
in advance of the time for officially
announcing the figures as they stand
approved and final 1 asked a question
by wire on that point and positive in
structions came from Washington that
no estimates shall be made by any of
us in the service. AS a matter of fact,
no one knows where, between 400, 900
and 100000, the showing of San Fran
cisco will be.
The house to house count has been
concluded. This does not end the
enumeration for San Francisco by any
means. Commercial organizations and
other civic organizations are asked, in
letters sent out today, to make addi-
tional efforts to have every one who
may not have been enumerated come
forward. This office will be open until
the first OF June to receive names of
those who have not been previously
counted. I hope that fact will be con-
spicuously mentioned.
