New York, July S.-Fourth Deputy Po-

Commissioner Waldo to find out how
James Cummings, the Ansonia House
detective, was able to remove from the
rooms of Lillian Graham and Ethel Con-

Graham by w. E. D. Stokes, was con-
siderably surprised to learn to-day that

June Z, the night Stokes was shot. The

disappeared; but the nearest he came
to Stokes was when he raked out sew
.eral unreceipted bills for Miss Gra-
hams board and lodging at the Hotel
Ansonia. One of the bills was for $500.
Not scratch of Stokes handwriting
appeared. and there was nothing in the
correspondence that referred to the pro-
prietor of the Ansonia so far as Dillon
could see in somewhat rapid scrutiny.
There were perhaps forty letters in all,
and few kilograms. One yellow tele-
graph form was signed "Enrico Caru-
50" who regretted that he could not
meet some lady that evening.
Commissioner Waldo was pretty much
exercised to-day when he heard that
Detectives Sullivan, Mccormick, and
Walsh had been looking out of a win

making discoveries.
Dillon questioned the house detective.

police subdivisions. In 1910, the popula-
tfon was 44,277. In the area there are
sixty-five houses shut up for the summer.

1t is accepted from this that the num-

All told, shade more than 400 in a pop
ulation of more than 44C00-a very scant
per cent in this instance.
The Second precinct, which covers the
second most thickIy populated area of
the northwest, has a total population OF
4oOS9. The police have record of bur
twelve houses IN this precinct closed for
the summer. They have counted thirty
eight more, upon which no formal report

population of all the National Capital,
5O.914, there are but 200 absentees.
Again the figures show that the sum-
mer sojourners number only four-tenths
of per cent OF the population.
Based on the foregoing analysis, it
may be safely said that Washington is
hardly deserted al all in summer Prue,
August is the favored month for sum
mer vacations. but in private business
as we'll as in the government depart
ments. not all of the workers can pick
and chose their vacation seasons. They
have to follow rules of seniority as
well as the boss convenience. They
also have to take into consideration
many other little things which preclude
getting out of town just when they
please. 1t is, therefore. readily to be
seen that even supposing that good
nature and a desire TO accommodate
the employe is the rule in the greater
number of business houses and shops
as well as with the government, the
volume of the August exodus will be
restricted to a considerable extent by
the returning July vacationists. It is
hardly to be expected that a greater
percentage than per cent of the
whole population of Washington can
manage to Join the August vacation
migration.
These figures of residential Washing
ton are to be generally accepted as
convincing. They are to be accepted
as showing that although the torridity
of Washington summer may drive peo-
pie from the streets in the daytime,
the people are In Washington just the
same. The street railway statistics
bear this out, and If visual demonstra-
tion of the statement is wanted in ad-
dition TO the other figures, try to get

Dublin. July Skiing George and
Queen Mary received an enthusiastic
welcome when they landed in the state
barge at Kingstown and touched Irish
soil for the first time to-day. A vast
crowd thronged the wharves, and cheer
after cheer went up as Viceroy and Lady
Aberdeen greeted the royalties. while the
fleet thunderd its welcome from the bay.
Accompanying the King and Queen
were the Prince of Wales. the Princess
Mary, the Duke of Connaught, and a
brilliant staff AS their majesties
stepped ashore, the chairman of the
Eingstown town council presented an ad-
dress, to which the King replied in these
words:
II and the Queen hastened our visit
to the Irish people, in whose welfare our
interest is deep and abiding" This brief
speech was received with great cheer
ing. and was taken as an indication of
the Kings good will toward Ireland.
The King then inspected the naval
guard of honor. The Queen and the
Prince of Wales and their party were
presented with beautiful bouquets, after
which the party entered the state landau
and drove through cheering crowds on
their way to Dublin.
No official civic welcome greeted their
majesties upon their arrival, the news
of the row in the city council over the
manner of the Kings welcome having
reached his majesty's ears and causing
him to send word that Mayor Farrelrs
presence would be embarrassing.
