CAPTURES SHY MEASURES
in RAID ON CENTRE MARKET.
City Sealer Sullivan Discovers
Square Pints Not Square"

City SealerD of Weights nj Measures
John H. Sullivan, with four of his men,
today made a raid on the Centre Mar
ket. coniscated a number of new
"beat-'em-to-it" measures, supposedly
a pint, but a little bit shy, and warned
the dealers using them that their per-
mits would be revoked If caught with
the goods again. To say the market
was in a commotion because the city
ordinances were enforced would be put
ting 1t mildly. The market men mad
Just laid in a stock Of the new meas
ures, which are square shaped and used
for peaches, tomatoes and other like
produce. They were used for the first
time Saturday.
The raid was the result of a little
quiet inspection done by Sullivan Sat
urday night. Mr.. Sullivan has found
it a wise plan to visit the market on
Saturday nights to see what Is to be
seen. Last Saturday he was interested
by the small appearance OF the neat
baskets in which the tomatoes, peaches,
ETC., were being measured out. He
was SO interested that he compared
them with the city standards today
and found them short; hence the raid.
MI. Sullivan said today that he was
chosen to his present office to protect
the people in the matter of weights,
and that he intends to do his duty.
He received a number of ~congratula-
tons for his quick work.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-From re-
turns compiled already it is believed
the census this year will show that the
United States mas a population of about

fact that an increase slightly in excess
of the $4,000, 600 increase of the previous
decade would bring the population in
1910 to the 10000, 900 mark.
About 300 of the more than 1890
