TACOMA BUSINESS
men NOT PLEASED
With THE CENSUS
Demand Recount of City's Population
And Declare Supervisors Mistake
Was Overzea lousness.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 1S.-Protests
against census director Durands al
lowance of S2,972 as the population of
Tacoma and demands for a recount
were wired to Washington by the
Chamber of Commerce and the Com
mercial Club.
A direct appeal to Secretary of Com
merce and Labor Nagel, or President
Taft is being urged by many civic
bodies.
General Indignation was expressed
against special agent Mckenzie be-
cause of the hurried manner in which
the recount check was made and the
small number of men employed to do
the work
Numerous claims of injustice are
made. Little credence is placed here
in director Durand's charges of fraud
against Special Agent Stacey NJ. Cor
win. Corwin left Tacoma soon after
the taking of the census ended in
April saying he was going either to
the Philippines or Panama. He had
formerly been in the government SER
vice in both places but had not deter
mined which he would visit when he
left.
Corwins one blunder, it is declared
was over-zealousness. Four days af-
ter the census began, it was seen that
with only seventy-three enumerators,
the entire city would not be counted
in the time allotted. The civic or
CARNATIONS took a hand, distributing
upwards of $25O,OOO blanks.
Toward the close of the census a
flood of the special slips began coming
in. Corwin had charge of the COM
pairing of these slips with the regular
schedules but was unable to keep pace
with the supply. He asserted at the
time that the names were all bona
fide but that there was no time to
enter all on the regular schedule by
the district in which their addresses
were given. Rather than not have
them included, it is said, he allowed
the names to be entered promiscdous-
ly.
1t is believed that irregularities of
this kind are at the bottom of the
charges against Corwin.

PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD
AT rochester, N. Y.

Rochester, n. Y, Oct. 1S.-Delegates
from all over New York, the six New
England states and from distant Por-
to Rico, representing 100000 communi-
cants, are assembled in Rochester to-
day for their annual meeting of the
Presbyterian Synod, the second high
est body of the church. The sessions
will continue three days and will be
held in the brick Presbyterian church.
1t is rumored that the meeting will de-
velop something in the way of an in
vestigation into the orthodox of sew.
eral young Presbyterian ministers who
are alleged to entertain heretical opin-
ions.
In connection with the meeting the
Woman's Synodical Society of Home
Missions will hold its annual session.
The Presbyterian Brotherhood is also
holding a meeting today.
The synod session proper commence
es this evening, when Dr. William K.
Beecher of Auburn Theological Semi
nary, the retiring moderator will
speak. Tomorrow evening a great
popular meeting will be held, at which
reports from the missionary congress,
held in Edinburgh, Scotland, last June,
will be presented.
1t Is announced that the First Chris
tian church for Chinese converts East
of San Francisco will be opened in
New York City next month. 1t will
be located in East Thirty-First street
and will be known as the Chinese
Presbytery, and for the first time that
church has a representative in the
person of a Chinese pastor, the Rev.
HUE Kin, who has been chosen as the
preacher in the Oriental church. The
new congregation will start with 200
members. About fifty of them are
now regular worshipers of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church in New
York.

Congress TO ACT ON
GEOLOGICAL survey
(By Union Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1S.-At the
coming session of congress the legis-
tators will probably be called upon to
act upon the report of the geological
survey in regard to the immense phos-
phate deposits in the Northwest All
public lands containing such deposits
have been withdrawn from public
cutlery pending further examination
into the extent and value of the de-
posits. Congress will decide their
dispositions when the experts have de-
cided the question.
1t is stated on good authority that
the reports of the biologists have
been purposely conservative, and that
future investigations will certainly
prove that the phosphate fields of
Utah, Wyoming and Idaho are by far
the richest in the world. While not
so alluring as gold or silver finds"
the phosphate fields will prove great
source of wealth to the northwestern
states.
Incomplete advance reports of the
most conservative nature estimate the
high-grade phosphate rock at about
100000 tons, and this figure will prob
ably be doubled before the deposits
of paying rock are exhausted. Depos-
its already examined show the rock
to be pebble formation, varying in size
from mere grains to pebbles of half
an inch in diameter, ranging in color
from gray to black and containing
some calcite and carboniderous mat
ter.

HATT!ESBuRG MAN
HELD FOR LUNACY
c. c. Cox Cut Gyrations at Gulfport
and is Confined in Jail, Awaiting
Advices From Here.

X Culfport, Mississippi, Oct. 49,
Capt. G. C. Cox, or at least the old
gentleman who purports to bear that
name, and who represented to the
towns people here that he was the
leader of Company c, of the Third
Regiment of Alabama Confederate Vet
Grams, was arrested ON the charge of
disturbing the public peace and of
profanity last Saturday afternoon by
two of the citys police.
Cox came to this city on last Friday
and created an unusual amount of in
terest by his strange appearance. He
is about six feet two or three inches
in height, broad of shoulder, with long
rangy limbs and feet in proportion
His dress was of the most peculiar
manner, most of those seeing him for
the first time thinking him either an
advertisement for a vaudeville show
or a walking ad for some other show
that might be coming to Gulfoprt.
He wore blue socks, blue jeans, white
shirt and red cap. His pants were
pulled about half way up to the knee
and held in that position by a rubber
band passed around his leg. Passed

THE WEEKLY PRESS
IS EMITTING PROTESTS

Jackson, Miss, Oct 18.-The weekly
press of Mississippi is emitting lusty
protests over the advertising rates al
lowed for the publication of three pro-
posed constitutional amendments to be
voted upon at the November election.
The law requires that these amend
ments be published in the official jour
nal Of each county two weeks previous
to the November election, and in fur
nishing copy for these official Jour-
nails Secretary of State Power notifies
the publishers that they will receive
compensation at the rate of three
cents per line, which is the price fixed
by law.
The publishers contend that it is
rank injustice for the state to compel
them to publish matter at such a ri.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-10-18

diculously low rate, which is hardly
sufficient to pay the cost of compost
ton. The established rate of publica-
ton of legal notices in this state is
one and one-half cents per word, or
about ten cents per line. Thus it is
evident that the state is getting its
legal publications made at less than
one-third the price paid by individuals,
counties and municipalities.
Realizing that the failure to publish
the proposed amendments in each
county as required by law would jeop-
ardize their adoption at the November
election, the publishers are accepting
the work under protest, at the same
time contending that the Legislature
has no more right to say what they
shall charge for legal notices than it
has to fix the price Of flour or meat
charged by a retail merchant.

REDSKIN FAIR AT
WEATHERFORD, OKLA.

Weatherford, Okla, Oct. 1S-In
prairie schooners," tents and typical
Indian tepees, thousands of Oklahoma
Redskins are encamped here today
for what may be the last great gather
ing of the tribes in Western Oklahoma.
With the permission of the United
States Indian agents for this section,
the descendants of the aborigines
commenced today a period of feasting
and fun which will continue three
days. The Indian camp is the fea-
ture of the fair here, and has attract
ed many tenderfeet visitors. The
Redskins will engage in their latter
day sports, games and dances, as we'll
as exhibit the products of their arts
and industries.
With the coming of statehood and
the rapid settlement of Western Okla
homa, which is now covered
with network of railroads
and dotted with towns and
villages, the character of the In
dams is rapidly changing While the
older Indians stick to their blankets
and live in rough huts and tepees, the
rising generation is assuming the dress
and manners of their white neighbors
Many of them manifest marked abili-
ty in agriculture, business and even
in the professions. The doctrine of
the survival of the fittest is by
way of being eXemplified among the
Indians of Western Oklahoma. Within
few years, it is predicted, such a
reunion of Redskins as was commence
ed here today will be impossible.

CIRCUS ATTACHE
ARRESTED FOR
STEALING SHIRT
Reserved Seat Taker for Sun Bros
Show Fined Ten Dollars in Police
Court This Morning.

M. G. Meckard, a young man about
II years of age, who was an attache
of the Sun Bros Circus, which played
here yesterday and last night, was
fined $40 and ten days in the city court
this morning on charge of petty lar
ceny.
Heckard was charged with having
stolen shirt from the store of w. M.
Conner. Unfortunately for the youth,
Police Officer Mack Doherty detected
him in the act of appropriating the
garment; saw him put it under his
coat and make an effort to get away
without being seen.
Heckard admitted his guilt, and eX'
pressed regret for his act. He stated
to the count that he was employed by
the circus III the capacity of ticket
taker, but had not been with the show
more than three months. His parents
he said, resided at Dover, Tenn.
Judging from the young mans con
versation and demeanor, he is evident
ly from a respectable family, as his
manners are refined and his speech
shows that his education has not been
neglected.
Judge Davis suspended the days
and Heckard will endeavor to raise
the money with which to pay his fine

NATIVES ASK COMMISSIONER
 QUESTIONS

Last Friday a delegation of about twenty Indians, representing different communities on the Panama and Yukon rivers, called on United States Commits sioner Phil Gallaher. The visit did not mean to them the discharge of an inn piled social obligation, or even the ex- pression of a warm feeling of personal friendship, so much as it did the put ting to the great United States govern ment, through it's most potent repre-
 sentative within their reach, clean-cut business proposition. .-.."
 They wanted to inquire why it is that they are not permitted to enter into contracts for rafting wood down the rivers and delivering it to the military arm of the government at Fort Gibbon, at sure profit to themselves and pos sible saving to the people of the United States, whose wards they now are and whose resources are so sOrely taxed in circumventing their schemes for sat isfying an overpowering craving for skookum water. Several years ago, the spokesmen of the delegation said, the former owners of the land and the water and the fruits and fishes thereof were permitted to do this. Never did an In- dian fail to fulfill wood contract and never did the wood fail to burn and make warm fire. Now the rule is that wood that has been in the water shall not go into soldier stove. Why is this, when dry spruce several years ago was so near and is now so far? The

False Alarm of Men
 Drowned on Beaver

Charles Schick, whose friends in the Fairbanks district believed he had been drowned in Beaver river last month, foated into Panama in d small boat from the Beaver country last Saturday at noon. His partner "Two-step" Louis Schmidt, he said, was on his way across country from Beaver river to Fairbanks No accident had befallen them.
 The apprehension for the safety of the men was caused by the return of their dog, in a starved condition, to McGuire and Chapman's camp, on Beaver, more than month after Schick and Schmidt had left there.
