Ninety Millions the Limit.

Director Durand does not expect the
total population OF the United States.
exclusive Of the Philippines. TO go over
9O.OOO.OO0 IL it reaches 9i,000.00O he
will be surprised. The estimates placing
the total population at ao.O0.W0 TO 10o.-
OOO.Oo0 are based on the total immigra-
tion and birth rate without making any
allowance for deaths and for the emf
grants who have returned to their home

No Omcial Figures Given.

It is stated at the census bureau that
no estimates as to the probable popula-
ton of New York, Chicago and the other
big cities of the country and OF the total
population Of the United States have
been given out The estimate that New
York will have 100000 people may be
correct, it was stated. but the offlcial
figures will not be known until they are
given out Tuesday or Wednesday Of next
week.
THE growth of population" says DR..
Hill, chief statistician of the census bu-
reau, depends on the birth rate and
immigration, emigration and death rate.
The census people see no reason to ex-
spect a sensational increase In the pOpu-
lation OF the United States or Of Chica-
go and New York"

MONEY COUNTERS ARE
DEPRIVED OF HOLIDAY
Accumulation of Bank Notes for Re-
demption Requires Service
This Afternoon.

The several hundred counters OF money
in the Treasury Department had no half
holiday today. They worked the whole
day and will probably continue to do this
each Saturday afternoon for some time
to come. The only explanation is that
there arc so many counters away on
vacation that the work of counting
money sent in for redemption and for
which new money is to he returned. Is
far behind. neccssitating orders for
everybody to work on time supposed 10
be given them for holiday purposes.

Effect OF Reorganization.

During the reorganization of the Treas
ury Department last year something like
$50 people, who had been engaged In the
counting Of money, lost their places on
the ground that economical methods had
been put into effect. Most OF these clerks.
however. were given places elsewhere In
the department. IL was pointed out to-
day by some Of the clerks who were hard
at work that the alleged economies had
been successful only I'm losing employ
ment for many people. and that the serv-
ices of large number of them were
now necessary and not available.

Bones of Varying Sizes.


telegram was received by his rela-
tives i'm this city today. from II. I. Jeffers
OF the Savoy Apartment House. in which
he says that the body OF one of the
Grand Trunk wreck victims. is undoubt-
eddy that of Mrs. LETTERS. In addition
another telegram from a railroad Official.
received by Mr.. Jeffer's family. says
the body has been identified. and
relatives of the unfortunate woman.
whom she was visiting In Racine. Wis.
have also telegraphed that she was among
those killed.
Mrs. Jeffcrs' body was partially con-
stunned by fire which broke out in the
Pullman cars Immediately after the
wreck. On this account positive identif-
cation was difficult. Mr.. LETTERS left
Washington Thursday and arrived at Du
rand last night. Until then IL was hoped
that Mrs. LETTERS had escaped injury and
had proceeded TO her destination AZ To-
ronto. Canada. This belief Was strength
ened by a telegram received here last
night by NJ. I. Sharp. a brother-in-law
Of the unfortunate woman. from the sta
ton agent at Durand. which said that
Mrs. Jeffers was reported TO have es-
capped and was on her way TO her desti-
nation.
First Identification Incorrect.
The hope aroused by this message was
shortly afferward dispelfed by . teie-
gram from a relative I'm Racine. which
read: Have locked everywhere ana can
find no trace OF May" Mrs. LETTERS re-
mains were at first identified ~. those
of Mrs. Lewis Squire OF Chicago. who
also perished in the wreck. but me hnd-
ing or purse bearing the Inscription
M. Jeners" cast grave doubt on the
Identification OF Mrs. Squire and caused
q subsequent investigation. which dis
closed the truth. The body Of Mrs. Squire
was afterward found. although 1t was al-
most entirely consumed by fire.
Mrs. Jeffers was born In Warren City,
Ill She and her husband came to WASH
ington last April. Mr.. LETTERS is the head
of the LETTERS Fireproofing Corporation.
with headquarters In the Corcoran Build
ing. Mrs. Jefers was a member OF the
Presbyterian church. She is survived by
two sons, Percy, aged twenty. and VIII
liam, sixteen. Until further word IL re-
ceived from Mr.. LETTERS no funeral kr-
rangements will be made.
