FIRST QUARREL OF TWINS

PHILADELPHIA, October 17-Day.u
and Robert Logan are twins who look SC
much alike that one of their favorite
pastimes is to move rapidly in front Of a
mirror in their home at No. 251O South
Patton street and try to point each other
out. Last night for the first time in their
thirty-four years they came to words and
they were such loud words that Police
man Moore felt it his duty to lock the
twins up along with George Lurch, whom
the disagreement was all about. Moore
arrived at critical moment, too. for
Robert was just telling David he would
call him a monkey If it wasn't for the re-
semblancc. and David was telling Robert
that was just Ihy he ought to be called

Those Guilty of Census Frauds
to Be Indicted.
TAC0MA'S FALSE FIGURES
Alleged Chief Offenders Said to Have
Left Country.
EAST FREE FROM SUSPICION
Director Durand Hopes to Announce
Population Of United States
by November Is.

The wheels OF the governments legal
machinery are being turned to bring to
justice the men who are responsible for
the padding OF the census figures or
Tacoma, Wash. and other cities In the
west. Indictments charging fraud in the
census taking must be made out before
any steps can be taken TO apprehend the
guilty parties.
Director Z. Dana Durand of the census
said today that he could not say at this
time just when the indictments would be
ready. nor could he indicate the line OF
action which would be taken upon the
matter by the government. But there
seems TO he no doubt that every possible
effort will be made TO punish the guilty
enumerators and supervisors. The census
law provides the penalty for frauds In
connection with the enumeration OF the
population of the country.
Alleged Chief Offender.
4 special agent. who is alleged 10
have been the chief offender In the
fraudulent returns made for Tacoma,
Wash. is said to have skipped the
country" Director Durand said that
he had heard some time ago that the
agent had left the United States, but
that he was not sure where he had
gone. nor whether 1t was because of
/ the census padding that he had gone
away. Mr. Durand said that he had
heard the man was in the Philippines
I'VE do not expect TO find such ex-
tensive padding in the other cities In
the west under investigation we
found in Tacoma" said Mr.. Durand to-
day.
Cities Under Suspicion.
The cities which will be Investigated
first are Fort Smith. Ark; Boise City.
Idaho. and Minneapolis, Mimi Mr.
Durand said that he thought the frauds
in the western cities were due primari-
ly to the keen rivalry which exists
among the cities in that section OF the
country and the desire Of each to make
g. good showing.
Another motive for the padding lay in
the fact that enumeratoS are paid ac-
cording to the number of persons counted
In the east the rate is 21s cents a name
and on the Pacific coast the rate is 3
cents.
Mr.. Durand would not say what cities
he had under suspicion other than those
eastern cities were suspected. and added
that none OF those cities whose popula-
lions had already been announced was
under suspicion or would be investigated.
Population Of the Country.
Director Durand said that he hoped -
be able to announce the entire population
for the United States by November 10.

COUPLES BADLY MATED
SHOULD Be DIVORCED
Rabbi FIeischner of Boston
Places Marriage Under Prov
inCe of Science.

BOSTON, October 17.-Rabh Charles
F7eischner Of Temple Adall Israel. whose
views on marital matters have attracted
much attention, believes that marriage
lies In the province Of science and So
ciology rather than of religion.
Marriage is q matter which should
come under the domain Of science rather
than under the domain OF religion. There
is no more reason why a minister should
marry a couple than why doctor should
marry them" says Rabbi F1eischner. Il
wish to emphasize the physical. mental
and spiritual fitness Of those about to
marry as one Of the most beautiful as
well as one Of the most necessary Of our
mortal duties. AS for divorce, it will be
a necessary evil just SO long as people
disregard the necessity Of complete mu-
tual fitness before they marry.
Necessary Evil.
"As for universal divorce, as it has
been called, should tolerate that only
because tho present laxity with regard to
marriage fitness Is so great that divorce
is and must be a necessary evil. Ny
whole point is that people must be prop
erly mated from the point of view of
euenics before they are allowed to enter
n,atr.mOny. Then the necessity for dr.
voice will be reduced to a minimum.
1t is better to be we'll divorced than
to remain badly married. There is no
more reason why the church should OBJ
ject to a necessary divorce than that it
should object to an inauspicious marriage
Possibly one reason why the church con-
dennis divorce and favors marriage is
because it gets money from the latter.
whereas from the former it gains no
revenue.
1.-THE church perhaps more than any
other institution has been backward in
accepting the truths which are promoted
by science In this 1t has erred on the
wrong side. Science is. or should be, the
friend of religion rather than its en-

Assessments Of Buildings.

The matter of assessing buildings or
improvements presents a more difficult
problem. principally for want of informa-
ton of the character of construction.
Many houses appear to be alike from an
exterior view and are often assessed on
the same basis, but occasionally we find
there is considerable difference in interior
finish, heating and general conditions,
but no change in the assessment can be
made until the next general assessment

as inspectors or surveyors Of. all assess
able buildings. reporting to the board OF

The report says that the present law, un-

Is difficult to keep the records in proper
shape for this kind of assessing. 1t is
misleading also. the assessor claims to
a purchaser who finds that a water main
has been laid to serve his property, and
he must pay for that main the minute he
subdivides his property into lots. One

once, according to the report, while the
other side may not have to pay for sew

Roosevelt Not Oversanguine.

TO the effect that Col. Roosevelt does not
feel at all confident OF victory and real

position lie has ever encountered. This
does not mean that he comedies defeat
by any means. but that he is not dazzling
himself with false hope. He is going to-

leave the field, whether it's a waterloo or
a victory.

Absence of Enthusiasm.

The campaign in this city shows some
features that are novel to the observers
who have followed the campaigns for the
past fifteen years. There is absence of
the old time enthusiasm and methods.
We don't see the campaign banners
spanning Broadway with their notices
and portraits. The lurid posters on dead
walls and fences, abusing the other fell
lows and praisins their own side, are
missing.

NEW YORK. October 17.-For the past
twenty years it has been the custom of
Wall street to grow alarmed over pros
pect of democratic victories in state or
nation. and to put stocks down. In this
campaign Wall street takes heart of
courage at the prospect of a democratic
landslide, possibly nationwide, and puts
stocks up.
Wall street apparently holds the re-
publican party as the party Of radical
ism. or Rooseveltism, or something
dreadful like that. and esteems the lately
scorned democracy as the conservator
of values.
Pulling for Democratic Victory.
Prior to the voting in Maine L asked
my friends in Wall street how "the mar
ket' would take a democratic victory
They prophesied an advance and It so
fell out. They say now that if Roosevelt
is crushed in New York and Harmon
wins in Ohio. and Woodrow Wilson in
New Jersey, the effect will be to stimu-
late confidence and enhance prices, both
speculative and on investments.
The way they dope 1t out is that the
election of democratic House of Repre-
prevent further attacks on the railroads
or the trusts.
Then. too. democratic victory would,
in their opinion. minimize the danger of
Roosevelt'S aScendancy in 1912 and
brighten President Tafts prospects for re-
nomination.
Politics the Only Menace.
With big crops in prospect, the even
chance that the railroads will be granted
their increases in freight rates and a COM
paratively easy money market, Wall
street decides that the only menace to
property and check to a boom in busi-
ness, with resultant expanded speculation,
is In the political situation, and Wall
street finds support of the democratic
campaign its one best bet.
Col. Roosevelt. therefore, was not firing
wide of the mark when, in opening his
campaign i'm this state, he attacked Wall
street for its alliance with the democracy
The colonel knows that he will not get a
fifty-cent piece from Wall street for his
campaign fund and is not afraid Of max
ing enemies there, while the kind of talk
he made upstate sounds good to the
rural voters.
It's almost laughable to hear the repub-
lican state managers here 'squeaf be-
cause they cannot get any funds, and to
realize that their opponents are fairly
wallowing in money that used to come to
