CENSUS IS FAULTY.
Director Durand Thinks the Country
Is Under Estimated.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-"Taking the
country as a whole, it is probable that
the population is slightly under stated
by the census bureau declared Dr.
rector of the Census Durand in his an
nual report ''but whether the margin
of error is a fraction of one per cent
or amounts to as much as two per
cent no one can positively know. That
it should exceed two per cent is GER
tainly improbable"
This statement is made in the course
of his discussion of the twenty-three
cities which were overcounted. De-
claring his intention to make an inves-
tigatiOn Of census taking abroad to
discover means for materially improv-
ing the work in the United States, the
director states that sit may be that
the present methods of taking the cen
sus secure results as nearly perfect as
is possible" 1t was necessary after
careful investigation, he says, to cor
rect the population figures for some
% cities of the United States whose

or through carelessness or error
He says that in several cities there
seems to have been a deliberate con-
spiracy between private individuals
and some of the special agents or
enum orators, or both, to initiate fraud
uIently the census returns. Several
cases of padding are now in the hands
of the department of justice. Taking
up the cost of the census taking, the
director thinks it will exceed the orig
inal estimate by $1S3, 900 The entire
cost of field work on population and
agriculture was $5,S55,500. an increase
over 1900 of about $1,587,606, or APP

PENSION BILL IS UP.
1t Displaces the Senatorial Election
Measure Temporarily.

| Washington, Feb. 18.-By voteaof
40 to 35 the senate today took up the
Sulloway service pension bill. This
vote does not sidetrack the joint
resolution for the election of senator
| by popular vote which remains the
| unfinished business. The shift from
the Boraha resolution on the election
of senator's was made as the result of
an agreement and was not in dispar-
agement OF the elections measure.
Senator McCumber OF North Da-
kota, offered his substitute for the
Sulloway bill providing for a smaller
increase. question arose as to the
rate of death of pensioners. Mr.. Nc
Cumber put the rate at $4,000 year.
"They are not dying fast enough to
suit some of the senators yet they are
going at the rate of one every eleven
minutes; he said.
Mr.. Lodge declared the passage of
the Sulloway bill would increase the
annual pension expenditures so as to
carry the total to $210,O00,000- Reply
ing Mr.. Curtis asserted that the Sullo
way bill never would require an an
nual expenditure of more than $40
100000. He said there soon would be
a surplus of $100,000,000 in the gov
eminent receipts and that the coun-
try could well afford the increase. SEN
ator Lodge contradicted the statement.
He said there was no such condition
but that on the other hand it was nee
eSSary to issue DOnQS TO continue the
work on the Panama canal.
Then let the bonds be issued,
shouted Mr.. Scott
eff we issue bonds for the canal
why not issue bonds to pay the SOL
diers?" Mr. Curtis fairly screamed,
bringing his fist down on his desk.
That's it, said Senator Scott, in a
sage whisper, that's it; give it to
them"
Mr.. McCumber said the practice of
70 fIn Il faf
ex-officers and not to the widows of
privates was having the effect of
causing more marriages of officers
than of privates.

DIR. RYDER AND SCHOOL BOARD
Had Been Suggested as Worthy Sue
cessor to Mrs. Evans, if She Declined.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In last nights State Journal the
statement was made that the women
had forced DR.. Ryder into the race for
member of the school board in order
to split the mems vote and nominate
Mrs. Evans in the Third ward 1t was
such a mistake, unintentional of
course, that it should be corrected at
once. The women didn't put up Dr.
Ryder to divide the vote. H. was con-
sidered by both men and women a
suitable person to put up instead of
Mrs. Evans, in case she was not a
candidate, to carry out ner excellent
plans of work. Had she not been a
candidate DR.. Ryder would have con-
scented to be one, representing in gen
eral her position on the present board
management. When Mrs Evans con-
scented to nomination, the doctor with
drew. These are the facts. And let it
be noted that in the Third ward now
there are some gentlemen willing to
stand aside when so competent and ac-
ceptable a member as Mrs. Evans is
willing to serve q second term

TODAY IS YESTERDAY.
Speaker Cannon's Ruling Forces Mann
to Continue His FiIibuster.

Washington, Feb 1S.-Speaker Cannon
at 1890 o'clock this afternoon made the
unique ruling that insofar as the ma
tional houS of representatives is con-
cerned today is yesterday, in other
words he sustained the contention that
Fridays session was still in progress.
Then came the spectacle of big ma
jority of the house members composed
of practically all of the Democrats and
many of the Republicans trying in vain
to work their will against a -virile Re
publican minority valiantly led by Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois. Mr.. Mann
filibustered all day yesterday against
the passage of the omnibus war claims
bill. After he had failed in his effort
to have the session resumed at II
O'Clock this morning, declared a new
legislative day, Mr.. Mann renewed his
ilibuster and began to demand roll
calls on every proposition put before
the house.
Indications were that the filibuster
would continue all day and into the
night. AS soon as the house met this
morning Sims of Tennessee moved that
the house go into committee of the
war claims bill The fight began in
earnest, Mr.. Underwood of Alabama,
leading the forces in favor of the bill
and Mr.. Mann those against it.
Representative Weeks, of MassachuS-
etts took the position that the only
way to get rid of the legislative day of
yesterday was to adjourn. Representa-
tive Norris, of Nebraska, held that
where two orders of the house came
into direct conflict the last order should
prevail. The last order in this case
was the recess. Speaker Cannon sus-
tanned the view that the session of
yesterday was still in effect. The speak
er called attention to the fact that the
rule providing for recess was dropped
by the house in 1890 yet in practice
the house has recessed from time to
time.
IF a point of order had been made
against the motion to recess said the
speaker, '.it would have been sustain
ed. 1t was not made, however, and
the house agreed to recess until IL a.
m. today. You might say that the
house could not do it but it's like the
man who was in Jail. His lawyer came
to see him. The man told his story.
"'Great God said the lawyer, they
can't put you you in Jail for that
g But great God, said the man, they
have done it, "
The motion to take up the claims bill
then was resumed. Representative
Foss, of Illinois, complicated matters
by moving to take up the naval appro-
priation bill. On a standing vote this
motion was defeated, 100 to 1873. The
yeas and nays were then ordered

DENIED new TRIAL
Judge Dana Overrules Motion in
Green Case.
Holds That Breach Of Promise
Verdict Must Stand.

The motion for new trial by ex-
Mayor William Green. defendant in
the breach of promise suit in which
Selma Dalrymple, his niece, won a
verdict against him for $500, was
overruled by Judge A. w. Dana today.
The motion had been held under adj
visement by the court for a fortnight.
Each of the seven reasons which
counsel for Mr.. Green set forth as
grounds for new trial, Judge Dana
dealt with at some length.
To the charge that the jury had
been influenced by passion and preju-
dice against the defendant, the judge
said that a jury had been chosen from
a community in which William Green
was a prominent man and had very
many friends. In this jury, he rea-
s, ned, must have been some of these
friends of Mr. Green.
To the charge that the verdict had
been contrary to the evidence, Judge
Dana dealt at length upon the relative
value of the testimony. He praised
Miss Dalrymple as woman of excel
lent reputation in her home communi-
ty in Wisconsin and spoke of her as a
school teacher and a member of So
ciety. He cited the prominence of
Mr.. Green in Topeka and the excellent
reputation he enjoyed. Each of these
two people told a story directly at
variance with the other, he said. and
1t was the business of the jury to de-
eide upon the true one.
Speaking of the amount of the YER
dict judgement, the judge pointed out
that it had not been "quotient'' YER
dict but an amount easily compro-
missed upon.
AS to the grounds for new trial
claimed upon his own rulings during
the trial, Judge Dana cited a number
of supreme court rulings on similar
proportions and opined that he was
in q reasonably safe position.
