Dodds bill, which has been passed by
the lower house of congress and is
pending in the senate, admitting the
official publications of fraternal orders
to second class mail privileges and
permitting them to carry commercial
advertising.
As the uniform bill does not specify
any table of rates upon which society
must do business, but calls for valua-
ton and permits the members of the
societies to control their own affairs,
Modern Woodmen generally approve

up new element and reviving the inter-

ACKNOWLEDGMENT Durand Submits
Statement.

Washington.-Com count OF
the 18th national census places the
total population of the United States
at 9S.4O2,151.
This estimate, including Porto Rico
and Hawaii, but not including the
Philippine islands. which at the cen
sus of 1903 was 7,635,426. shows that
more than 1O1 100000 persons are liv-
ing in territory owned by the United
States.
The gain in the last decade is 49,
1881, or 20.9 per cent, somewhat
larger than was estimated. The pop
ulation of continental United States
is 81 ,972, 1866, an increase of 1897 ,69l,
or 211 per cent. In 1900 the increase
was 13,O46,S61, or 20.7 per cent
1t will be necessary to alter the
basis of representation in congress.
At the present ratio of $4,000 people
TO each member of the house of repre-
sentatives. the house would contain
about 474 members, as against S92 at
present. 1t is the general belief that
the number would be unwieldy. Even
at the rate of 100000 as a basis, the
house would contain AIS members.
in a statement Director Durand at
tributes the growth largely to great
er additions through immigration.
Mr.. Durand expresses the opinion
that later statistics probably will show
that As per cent of the population OF
the country is urban-that is, in places
Of $500 inhabitants or more. The pop
ulation living in cities Of $4,000 or
more inhabitants has increased much
more rapidly than that in the rest of
the country.
The decline in rural population has
been substantially general throughout
the great northern middle section OF
the country. The director closes by
saying:
THE decrease in rural population in
the middle states is by no means due
to lack of prosperity. as agricultural
statistics show an extraordinary in
crease in the value OF farm lands and
farm property throughout this section.
and will indicate a great increase in
the income of the farmers when the
statistics are compiled"

CHARLTON GOES BACK TO ITALY
U. S. sURRENDERs ALLEGED
WIFE MURDERER.
State Department Decides That Treaty
Must Be Interpreted Literally
Until II Is Abrosated.

Washington.-The state department
Friday decided that Italy is entitled
to the extradition Of Porter Charlton.
which was demanded on a charge Of
murder and who confessed 20 the
murder OF his wife near Lake Como,
Italy.
II Is held by the department that
the treaty under which Italy made the
demand must be interpreted literally
until II shall have been abrogated.
The department holds that treaties
are not reciprocal. which means that
a treaty may be binding. even though
one nation has the advantage over
the other in some OF its details. Such
a treaty is undoubtedly the one now
in force between Italy and the United
States, but the department frankly
says that II will abide by the conven
ton as a principle Of national faith.
The decision Of the department does
not mean that Charlton win imme
diately have TO go to Italy and stand
trial The matter may be carried TO
the courts where the prisoners sanity
will be determined. In such event
Charlton would be held here for al.
most two years.
