ciSi0n Reached.
TAFT DEMANDS PASSAGE
palladium Specially

Washington, May 11.-At an inform
all conference of the house post office
committee this morning. the postal
savings bank bill was discussed and
suggestions made by President Taft
were gone over. The session was
broken up by call of the house,
which necessitated members going in
for q vote.
Main points causing the discussion
are those with respect to the deposit
of postal savings. The disposition
now is to favor leaving fifty percent
Of the deposits in the banks of the
communities where first deposited:
the other fifty percent to be invested
in bonds. The question as to wheth.
er state banks shall be allowed any
of the funds, and the security which
will be required before such deposits
can be made, are being thoughtfully
considered by the committee.
President Taft is urging the passage
of the bill in compliance with the re.
publican platform demand.

CoIored.
ENUMERATORS FINISH
MAKING THEIR COUNT
According to the Figures
There Are 1887 People Of
School Age of Whom 457
Are CoIored People.

The result OF the school enumeration
taken in every township and school
corporation of the county, this spring
reveals some rather surprising data
relative to the small proportion of the
colored population to the white popu-
lation.
1 The total poulation. OF the county is
ESTIMATED at 1880. The number of
colored residents is estimated at
about. one-fourteenth of the entire
population. Richmond has little less
than half of the entire population,
and almost two-thirds of the colored
population.
| According to the school enumera-
ton the records of which have been
Aled with the county superintendent,
there are 9.SS7 persons of school age
and unmarried in the county. OF this
number there are 457 colored persons.
IN aggregating the population from
the school enumeration the entire
number Is multiplied by a fraction
less than foursand a half. Relative to
the compilation OF the colored popula-
ton. this fraction is raised to within
10 fraction of six and one-half.

DEMURRAGE IN NEW ENGLAND
(Hartford Courant.)

(HartfOrd COurant)
 We publish elsewhere this morn ing an interesting letter from a spec ial correspondent in Boston, which is bound to attract the attention of every shipper who uses the freight cars for his business. This corres- pendent is well informed and what he says may be accepted as fact. It appears from his letter that our Con- necticut demurrage law, over which there have been so many disturb ances at the state-house, cannot stand against the last act of Con- gress. Requiring freight cars to be held in this state for four days is say the authorities. and the interstate commerce commission is now au- thorized to settle such questions by an order.
 The railroad commissioners Of the country have agreed upori two- example that, if a car is not ready at a. m. on the day the notice is sent, then the demurrage period does not begin until ' o'clock thes next cred in an orderly manner but are punched, the law does not hold. In a word, it puts the roads on their good behavior, but, if they behave, the cars must go out again in two days or extra charge be made.
 There seems no doubt that New England is coming to this regulation. One reason is the same that recon ciled the old farmers wife to death she couldn't help it. The rest of the country is on two-days' basis, and the railroad commissioners of the country think it is fair, and the interstate commission has the power to order such a regulation. It surely looks like business, and those who ought to know say that it will not prove half so annoying as the ship pers have feared it would be, but in time may be endorsed even by those who have been so strenuous for the r,reSenf
