Those Under This Mark.

WASHINGTON, oct. 25.-ln addition to
the cities the census recapitulation bulletin
issued today gives the names Of states for
which the census returns have been pub
lished up to October 90 They were Rhode
Island. Michigan Missouri, New Mexico,
Delaware, Vermont and Massachusetts.
The aggregate population for these seven
states was 1O.S9s,272, an increase OF 149
per cent as against an increase of 1874
per cent during the decade 1890 TO 1900
Forty-three cities Of more than 100000
population and 1853 cities OF between 5000
and 10000 are given. Commenting upon
the facts presented the bulletin says;
With the data for both groups of cities
approaching completeness 1t is noticeable
that the smaller cities, as a group seemed
to have maintained during the decade of
1900 to 1910 a rate OF growth considerably
above that ma nta.ned by the larger cities,
the rate for the aggregate population of
the smaller cities being 1913 per cent and
that for the larger 3O1 per cent.
There was no such contrast in the de
cade 1890 to 1900, during which the increase
Of the smaller cities in the aggregate was
8S.2 per cent and the larger 321 per cent.
''The returns for all the cities which in
1900 were in the 10000 class have been re.

cence of any knowledge of the crime, but
the crown alleged that her behavior sub
sequent to the disappearance Of Mrs. Grip
pen, or Belle Elmore as she was known
on the stage, was such as to betray a
guilty knowledge of the murder.
When arraigned today, Miss Leneve
pleaded not guilty, and witnesses we're in
