Enumerator Said to Have Reported
1909 Colored Persons as
Lodgers in One House.

Declaring tha- the census of Memphis,
Tenn. was as complete and correct as
that OF any other large city in the
United States, Director T.. Dana Durand
Of the census bureau has made pub
lie a letter to John W. Farley. super
visor OF the census OF Memphis. in which
he answers the criticisms made by citi-
zeEs Of the Tennessee city. Many of the
people III Memphis believed that the
growth of the city was larger than
Shown by tie enumeration.
In explanation OF the small percentage
OF increase in the citys population be-
tween 1900 and 1910 the director states
that it is certainty the population as
reported for 1860 was padded to u very
considerable extent.
He states that the members OF the COM
nittee OF Memphis business organiZa-
tons who visited him distinctly affirmed
that there had been padding in 1900 and
estimated its extent as ranging from
1900 to 2uGU names He adds that
further positive and official confirmation
OF the padding was obtained recently by
Expert Special Agent d. II. Skinner, for
merly supervisor OF census of Porto Rico
who was sent by Director Durand to
Memphis, where Mr.. Skinner found also
numerous Instances of f1agrant and fraud

representatives OF the city and its COM

evidence as TO whether omissions had
been made. were to recount three of the
most difficult wards in which there had
been conspicuous decrease in pupula-

while an equal number of persons rep
resented the city and its commercial
CARNATIONS. He states that an exhaustive
recheck disclosed 743 who were probably
entitled to RECOMMENDATION and had not
been enumerated The population OF
these wards as originally reported, how
ever, was 1911. making the additi ions
81 per cent.
Had there been any reason to believe,
states the director. that a similar ratio
existed throughout the city, should have
been disposed to authorize recount OF
the entire city. There was, however,
every reason to believe that the percent
age of omissions found in wards two and
five far exceeded the percentage fer the
city as whole
The director attributes the omissions to
the fact that the wards concerned cen
tanned large numbers CT hotels and lodg-
ing houses and also a large negro popu-
lation. Uncertainties as to the wards
boundaries is another cause stated.
The director declares that under these
circumstances he did not feel warranted

Splendid Deserted Palace.

Tie splendid palace where the splendid

Antiquity of Prague.

Prague is a very ancient city. History
blends into the legendary, and it is diff
cult to tell where one begins and the other
ends.
Since the enlightened reign of Wenses-
las l. which began in the year 926 A. D.,
there are archives and written history of
Bohemia and its capital. Before his time
there are no records, but many myths and
traditions tinged, with tragedy, and ro-
nance. For more than a thousand years
Prague has been the bone of contention
between the Slav and the Teuton races
1t is the most westerly post of Sla'- civ
ilization, and the ambition of the Bohe-
scter.
For centuries t has been the center of a
religious conflict as we'll as racial strug-
gle. Some of the time the Germans have
dominated, but the city is now thoroughly
Slav in character, in patriotism and in
thought
The signs upon the street lamps are
written in Czech characters. Those
which decorate the stores and shops and
indicate the offices of Bohemian business
and professional men.
When you see a German sign ii is very
significant. But they are comparatively
few. and are a defiance TO the Bohemian
population. as much as to say. Il don't
want your trade.
No Turk will patronize the shop of
Greek in Constantinople. No Macedonian

lar preipdices are found among rival IA
tionalities the world over.
But l have never found such intensity
of racial hostility as in Prague. The
hatred of the Irish for the English is not
more violent or determined
Although the Bohemians are allowed a
large measure Of home rule, their desire
and intention 10 secede from the Austrian
empire is boldly declared whenever an
opportunity offers.
