An idea Of the national and inter-
national scope Of the work at Tuske-
gee may be cleaned from the recent
report Of DR.. Washington for 1909. He
says:
During the year which has Just closed
the number Of students enrolled in all
departments Of the institute proper has
been 1.621, LOS young men and 53s young
women. The average attendance has been

and Is Abandoned.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The revenue
cutter Perry, one of the smallest but
the oldest of the fleet of that service
ran ashore on July 26 at Tonki Point,
on the east side of st. Paul island, one
of the Pribiloff group in the Behring
sea. and is a total loss.
News of the loss of the Perry was
telegraphed to the treasury depart
ment by Captain Foley, the senior Of
ficer of the Behring sea fleet. In his
dispatch received today he reported
that the vessel filled with water and
that there were no wrecking appli-
ances in the neighborhood. Captain
Foley visited the wreck, ordered her
stripped and abandoned and her COM
plement distributed to other vessels.
No lives were lost.
The Perry was commanded by Cap
tain Haake and carried fifty officers
and men. Captain Haake has been
assigned as an aide to Captain Foley.
Dispatches concerning the accident
were sent from the revenue cutter
Tahoma by way of Nome, Alaska.

then until the polls close a big business

Fourth wards.
Here are fair examples of the vote in
the two sections of the city. In the
Fifth of the Second there is rgis-
tration of 391, the vote at O'Clock this
afternoon was 141. 1t will be seen that
the vote here is less than half. This Is
the situation in all of the First, Second
and part of the Fourth wards.
In the Second precinct of the Sixth
ward where the registration was 443
the vote at o'clock this afternoon was
about 275. This explains the situation
in the Third, Fifth and Sixth wards.

Vending Is Returning to Answer the
Charge of Murder.

San Francisco. Aug. I'm charge of
Captain of Detectives ]. P. Carney,
through whose efforts he was run to
earth, Joseph Vending, accused of
the murder of Alma Kellner, of Louis
vile, KY, left today for the scene of
the crime for which he will be tried.
1t is believed here by the detectives
who have assisted in the chase and ar
rest of Vending that Carney will
take extraordinary precautions to
guard his prisoner after he reaches the
boundary of Kentucky. as it is report
ed that the feeling there runs high
against the accused man.
Notwithstanding his cheerful air,
Vending has been guarded closely in
his cell for fear he might attempt sui
eide. Vending before his departure
was measured by the local idetifica-
tion bureau. He reiterated his desire
to return quickly to Louisville
Colonel H. Watson Lindsey, chief of
police of Louisville. accompanied by
Colonel John Walen, will meet Cap
tain Carney and Vending at Denver.

Street Car Strike at Columbus Expen
sive to the State.

Columbus. O.. Aug. 2.-Governor
Harmon is considering today of with
drawing about half of the national
guard now here on riot duty and cut
ting down the expenses of maintain
ing the soldiers from $4,000 a day to
about $4,000. In that event half of
the street cars will be taken off and
all lines abandoned temporarily with
the exception of the West Broad street,
Long street and High street. Negotia-
tions for a settlement of the strike
were renewed today with but little
prospect of an agreement.
The sending home of certain troops
would cut out the division formation
and would relieve from duty Major
Charles Dick, United States senator,
and all his staff officers. General Wey-
brecht says that the troops on duty
here are just sufficient to protect all
cars now in operation. 1t would be
folly, he says to withdraw any troops
unless certain car lines are abandoned.
Governor Harmon is now in confer
ence with Mayor Marshall.
