NiIOln a CNdll correspondent
WASHINGTON, May l3.-(Special Tels-
gram Representative Martin Of South
Dakota, as chairman Of a subcommittee
of the committee on public buildings and
grounds today called upon the president
to sound the chief executive as to what
would be the fate of an omnibus public
building bill carrying about SlS,OOOOo0,
should such a bill pass President Taft.
it is said informed the South Dakota con-
gresham that he thought the figure too
high and plainly intimated he believed it
could be trim med quite considerably with
out serious detriment to the postoffice
business.
President Taft said lac thought an omn-
bus bill for public buildings should not
exceed 100000 as an extreme figure. Even
the suggestion from President Taft that he
will agree to bill not exceeding $1,000 COO
brings joy to many members of congress,
who are depending somewhat on such legis-
lation to square themselves at home, and
II Is thought the committee will soon report
a bill drawn within the limit set By the
president.

ANTI-oPTloN BILL GOES OVER
Scott Measure IL Kept Out of the Way
of the Administration
Program.

WASHINGTON, May 13.--The question of
consideration of the Scott anti-option bill
in the house went over today for at least
a fortnight, The rules committee wrestled
with the proposition today, but was unable
to agree on date.
The chief objection to the adoption of a
rule today was that the postal savings bank
and anti-injunction bills which are part of
President Taft's legislative program, might
soon be ready for consideration and that
they should have right of way.
1t was decided that just prior to disposi-
ton of the sundry civil bill, the committee
should meet and act on the proposed rule

Col. ROOsevelt's Second Day in
Week of Campaigning.

Penn Yam, n. Y, Oct. 25.-The Sec
ond day of Col Theodore Roosevelt
campaign in New York state began
with a drizzling rain which threatened
to interfere with a number of open
air rallies.
Col. Roosevelt early today reached
Pen Yam, from Binghampton, where
he spoke last night. His first cam
paign speech of the day was delivered
at a theater here. The remainder of
the schedule calls for speeches in
Canandaigua, Geneva, Waterloo, Sem
eca Falls and Auburn during the day
and at Syracuse at night. Col. Roose-
welt is to take dinner in Syracuse with
Francis J. Hendricks, the "old guard"
leader of Onondaga county and is to
spend the night at Mr.. Hendricks
home.
The opera house was crowded with
people to listen to Col. Roosevelt's
speech. He reiterated his charges that
Wall street and Tammany hall had
struck hands" and referred again to
the circulars which he said the cam
paign committee of Tammany hall.
was sending out.
THE circular says it will require a
large amount of money to defeat the
Roosevelt policies, "Co1. Roosevelt said
THAT is quite right. Tammany hall
has been betrayed into a momentary
lapse of truthfulness. The policies
for which I have worked cannot be
defeated on their merits and they can
be defeated only by the liberal use Of
money"

POPULATION FIGURES.
RecapituIation of Returns Compiled
Up to October 90.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The census
reca pitulation bulletin issued today
gives the names of states and cities for
which the census returns have been
published up to October 20. The
states are Rhode Island, Michigan,
Missouri, New Mexico, Delaware. Yer
gate population for these seven states
was 10,S9S.272, an increase of 14.9 per
cent as against an increase of 1916
per cent during the decade of 1890 to
1900. Forty-three cities of more than
100000 and 159 cities of between
$4,000 and 10000 are given.
Commenting upon the facts present
ed the bulletin says:
with the data for both groups of
cities approaching completeness 1t is
noticeable that the smaller cities as a
group seem to have maintained during
the decade of 1900 to 1910 a rate of
growth considerably above that main
tanned by the larger cities. the rate for
the aggregate population of the small
er cities being 1913 per cent and for
the larger SOL.
'In the decade 1890 to 1900 the in
crease of the smaller cities in the ,ag-
gregate was 1872 per cent and the
larger 32.1 per cent.
'"The returns for all of the cities
which in 1900 were in the 100000
class have been received except from

been convinced that the mother of the
girl had arranged with Quintero for
the taking of the girl to st. Joseph,
where they were to be married.
Schoch thought the father also ought
to be consulted.
The Judge had Senior Almaraz
brought before him last night and
wormed the other side CT the story
from him. The discovery is that Quin-
tero formerly had ran away with the
mother of the girl and spent six
months with her. The present plan,
according to the father, was for Quin-
tero to marry the daughter so the
mother-in-Iaw might go and visit them
often, if not to live with them all the
time.
Naturally. the senior objected to
having his daughter and wife both 1fv-
ing with another man and he asked
Judge Schoch what to do. The judge
told him merely to refuse consent to
the marriage
The result is that the trial of Quin-
tero on a charge of criminal assault is
set for hearing on October 81.

Captain Thomas Baldwin in his new
biplane, the Red Bug, was out for a

speed that will make him a factor in

dead calm. The aviator made the
first round, distance of 1.55 miles, in
less than two minutes and followed it
up with four flights of the same speed.
A few minutes later Baldwin was
again in the air. This time his ma

several times under two minutes.
Baldwin complained that the north

owing to the danger of drifting into
