ST. LOUIS INCREASE SMALL
Boston Stands Chance to Regain
Fourth Place.
Census Figures Show Metropolis OF
Missouri to Have Gained Less
Than 20 Per Cent.

St Louis has increased 1914 per cent, or
rn,791 in population in ten years, &C
cording to an announcement made last
night by Census Director Durand. Her
population is 6S7,o2s. as compared with
575.23S in 1909.
ST. Louis took fourth place among
cities Of the country III 1890, when she
passed Boston, with a population Of
451.7O In that year Boston's pOpula-
ton was officially fixed at 4iS.477. In
1900 the population OF Boston had in
creased TO 56O,S92. and that of St. Louis
to 575,23S. In 1880 when Boston stood
fourth in size, her population was &c.,
S3g, and that of St Louis S5O,51S, Boston
is the only city that staQds a chance OF
dielodging St Louis from fourth place,
but observers here are inclined to be-
lieve that the two cities will maintain
their relative rank in the 1910 census.
The census figures for Boston are yet TO
be made public.
The cities that outranked St. Louis in
the 1900 census were New York, Chicago.
and Philadelphia.

the largo cities have so far been made
public Cincinnati and st. Louis are the
only ones among the first ten cities
Cincinnati gained lis per cent in the

Among the larger cities Detroit has
shown the largest percentage Of growth.
