SMALLER CITIES
GROW THE FASTER
Census Bureau Compiling Statistics
Seven States Increase 14.9
Per Cent.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 26.-In ad-
dition to the cities, the census reca-
pitulation bulletin just issued gives
the names of states for which the cen
sus returns have been published up to
Oct. 20. They are Rhode Island. Mich
igan, Missouri, New Mexico, Delaware,
Vermont and Massachusetts. The ag-
gregate population for these seven
states was 1O,S98,272, an increase of
14.9 per cent, as against an increase
Of 1874 per cent during the decade of
1890 to 1900
Forty-three cities of more than
100000 population and 159 cities of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 are given.
Commenting upon the facts present
ed the bulletin says:
With the date for both groups of
cities approaching completeness it is
noticeable that the smaller cities, as
group. seem to have maintained,
during the decade of 1900 to 1910, a
rate of growth considerably above that
maintained by the larger cities, the
rate for the aggregate population of
the smaller cities being 1913 per cent
and that for the larger SOL"

BLAMES T. R. FOR THEM
Jimmy Garfield Splits Ohio RepubIi-
cans Wide Open with Attack
on Dick and Foraker.

Buffalo, n. Y, Oct. 26.-John A Dix,
democratic candidate for governor, in
the course of a speech last night, said:
1T is a source of regret to observe
that my opponent has seen fit to make
this largely a campaign of personali-
ties instead of a temperate and rea-
soned discussion of the issues before
the people, and among other things
has chosen to refer TO me as a 'reck-
less liar and an upstart'
HE has called me a reckless liar
because 1 have characterized his nom
ina1or Colonel RoosevelD in Ian
guage which / shall neither qualify
nor withdraw, and complete justifica-
ton for the use of which has been,
submit to the voters of the state, fur
nished by the recent activities and
past performances of the man who has
done more to destroy business conf
dence and unsettle values than any
man who has ever appeared in the
public life of our country"
GarfeId's Attack on Foraker.
Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 26.-James f.
Garfield, former cabinet officer under
Roosevelt, startled a large crowd of
republicans in Ravenna and at Kent
yesterday by a most bitter attack on
Joseph B. Foraker, former senator,
who at Marysville Saturday called the
progressives traitors and denounced
Roosevelt.
Garfield, not content with scoring
Foraker, whom. he declared, was not a
republican but a disciple of the cor
porations, urged republicans TO do all
in their power TO defeat Senator
Charles F. Dick, whom he termed an
unfit man for the place he holds in
congress.
Garfield told the state committee
that either Foraker would be muzzled
or he, Garfield, would make no more
speeches during the campaign.

Railroad Magnate Reaps
an Adequate Return
on Cash.
EVIDENCE IS GIVEN
H. C. Wallace Tells Commerce
Commission TiIIer of Soil
Loses Money.

Chicago, Oct 26.-That the railroads
get better return on their investment
than the farmer was the position taken
at the rate hearing today when the
shippers put h. c. Wallace of Des
Moines on the stand as their first wit
ness. Mr.. Wallace is a farmer, an edi-
tor. and president of the National Con
servation congress
Makes Detailed Statement.
Wallace entered into a detailed state
ment Of the value of crops and land,
and the cost of farm labor in 19O7-OS-
O9. From his statistics he showed the
average renter Of a farm lost about
$500 per year, and that it is only by
denying himself all luxuries the farmer
has been able to make a fair living
The apparent loss shown is overcome
by the farmer getting work done by
his children, he said.
Way They Get Autos.
Wallace, responding to an inquiry
by Commissioner Lane, said he did
not know how many Iowa farmers
owned automobiles, but there were
probably many, and it did indicate
prosperity The farmer, who with his
children, does the farm work, is the
one who can buy automobiles.
Using Up the Fertility.
Discussing the impoverishment OF
soil, Wallace said that the fertility
loss of 160-acre farm is S467 a year.
Grain raised and sold in Iowa is actu-
ally selling the state piecemeal, and
this cannot continue indefinitely" said
the witness. THE land will be ex-
hausted in time, just as coal vein is
exhausted" The exodus of the young
men from the farms was partly due to
their desire to secure cheap land in
other sections of the country, Wallace
said.

DcfcEs,
Springfield, III, e. judge Ow-
en- P. Thompson last night overruled
the motion to take from the jury the
cases against Senator Pemberton and
Representative Clark, charged with
conspiracy to commit bribery The
decision of the court came after argu-
ments lasting three hours. In deny
ing the motion the court said that few
criminal cases are taken from juries
and that the question of guilt or inno-
cence of the defendants will be left to
the jury to decide.
When the state had rested its case
in the afternoon attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS entered a motion to take the
case from the jury, and arguments,
which lasted three hours, were made
by them. The motion was opposed by
States Attorney Burke, who held that
the charge was conspiracy to bribe
and not a plain case of bribery, as con-
teHueu Dy the QeGenSe.
Claimed Lack of Power
Attorneys for Pemberton and Clark
said that they. as members of the COM
mission to purchase furniture for the
house of representatives, had no pow
er to purchase, and for this reason
could not be held on a charge of brib-
cry.

state furniture. FREEZER said he con-
versed with Pemberton, Clark and
Holstlaw about the contract. He said
at one time Clark told him he would
have to have $1,000 for his vote and
that Holstlaw at first demanded $4,000,
but later agreed to accept $500
Cross Examined Own witness
Mr. Burke, learning that Attorney
Andrews had been to see Holstlaw in
regard to what he wouSS testify to in
the case, asked that Holstlaw be made
a court witness in order that he might
be cross examined by the prosecution. /
The court granted liberty in asking
questions of the witness, but declined
