GET READY TO WELCOME THE
 CENSUS MAN He'll Commence Ringing Your Door Bell To
 morrow Or Perhaps It May Be the Census Lady, But It's
 All the Same

L If your door bell rings tomorrow it is quite possible that it will be the U. S. Census enumerator who will want to know about everybody living in the house and quite a few things about the antecedents of each person domiciled in the same house.
 There are 55 enumerators who will go to work here tomorrow and the work must be completed by May 1. All of the above will report to N. H. Jones who has charge of the work here and who has his headquarters
 Each enumerator has his own district to cover and the districts were laid out by a census official sew eral weeks ago. It was his effort to get about the same number of people in each district.
 Ten years ago when this was tried the lowest number of names taken by a single enumerator was 6O5 while the highest had 2,970. It is believed that the division is not any more equal this year than it was at that time.
 The twelve voting districts have been subdistricted. The number of enumerators assigned to the voting districts are as follows: First, A.; 8: Sixth, T; Seventh, 4; Eighth, 5; Ninth, z; Tenth. 5; Eleventh, B; Twelfth, 6.
 The compensation of the enumera- years ago the compensation was F cent less. It is estimated that 20 per cent. more labor Is required of. the numerators this time.
 In New York City a great deal of surprise was expressed because there were 100.swomen census takers there. But in this city 28 out of the ~ap- pointees are of the fair sex and MT. Jones says that the women bid fair to give a better account of them selves as a whole than the men.

FOLD GUARD" THROWS DOWN
 GOV. HUGHES
Special from United Presso


 Albany, April 1.-The "Old Guard'' won it's first battle to prevent a com plete legislative investigation of cor ruption in the Senate. today. That body, without debate or apparent en- thusiasna, adopted a resolution for a legislative investigation which. while seemingly sweeping in character. con- tafhed a hidden joker and a slap at Governor Hughes.
 The joker is in the limitation of the committees work. After stating that the joke committee is to investigate the matters brought out at the trial of former Senator Aids and those de- ance Hotchkiss, the committee is given power only to consider such other charges as are especially presented, duly verified This means, accord ing to the friends of a full and free inquiry which would protect no one, that only dead men and men already srnirched beyond the possibility of whitewashing, are to be tarred.
 Governor Hughes is given no part in the investigation.
 The complete inquiry, first suggest ed was that the Senate would name three members, the Assembly five and the Governor three. This proposition was emphatically negatived by the Senate Finance committee. and the vestigation. The Senate members will be named by President pro-tem Cobb, who defeated the Hughes candidate for that position through the machfnations of the old line bosses at the caucus some weeks ago. and the Assembly James w. Wadsworth. openly opposed to the Hughes policies and who has consistently opposed any legislative investigation.

BURTON ON RIVERS
 AND HARBOR BILL
Especial from United Press.)


 Washington, April 14.-Waste of money in many of the items in the rivers and harbors bill was charged by Burton, RepubIcan, Ohio,) in a minority report submitted to the Sen ate today.
 That there will be a great storm in the Senate when it comes up for con- sideration is inevitable. Burton Is probabl the highest authority cn river and harbor improvements in Congress.
 saThe most glaring defect in metho- ods's he said, 'tas exemplified in the bill, is the dribbling policy of making casual appropria tions for a multitude of improvements without provision for completion
 He says that at the rate appropris- tfons are made in this bill the corr- T3Ietion of the Sandy Hook Bar liar bor of Refuge in Massachusetts, will require 76 years. As an especially oh- 5ectionable feature of the bill he names The lakes s-to-tneg gulf waterway which Aas been given a conditional approprse at1on of s1.OOo00O and $50 900 for fur 7her survey
