No More Room,

The railway carriage was crowded,
but a very fat old gentleman who sat
BY the window calmly ignored the
,minous looks OF the passengers for
taking up so much room.
A boy selling buns poked his head
h at the window and inquired:
Buns, STRIP
The old gentleman was slightly deaf,
Ind, not noticing the buns, thought
lhe boy wanted seat in the already
backed carriage; so he remarked:
Full up, my boy! No more room
hside!"
A roar Of laughter followed his re-
ply, and the old gentleman innocent
n wondered as to the cause of their
merriment-London Tit-Bits.

After these, beginning in 1906 with the near
dreadnoughts South Carolina and Michigan. come
the present dreadnought series: North Dakota,
Delaware. Florida, Utah, Wyoming, Arkansas,
Texas and New York.
In the meantime, as demonstrated in the mimic
Battle of Block Island" this summer the sub
marines have practically proved the battleships
vulnerable, therefore outclassed and obsolescent
These maneuvers may be said to have borne out
the prediction of plank in the Proposed Plat
form for the American Party, published in 1907:
1--WE desire that the American navy shall be
the most powerful and efficient in the world; but
we consider that new inventions have displaced
torpedo-boat and monitor, and therefore hesitate
to make further appropriations for these types OF
fighting craft"
Conservative statesmen in the United States
senate have denounced the vast appropriations
for armored ships-sums estimated in the aggre-
gate at than $10000,000-as bad invest
ment. They have stigmatized the United States
navy as "a lot of old tubs, more dangerous to
those on the inside than to those without"
Even in England the day OF the dreadnought is
beginning to decline, while the submarine-to say
nothing of the war aeroplane-is yet in infancy.
At this rate, ere long, congress may hear
the cry of the armed-peace advocates changing
to millions for development of the diving-boat;
not cent more for dreadnoughts!'
The naval men themselves not slow to read
the signs of coming change.
1t may be only question of a very few years
when the general adoption OF 14-inch gun capa

fifteen miles will revolutionize naval warfare

CANADA'S CENSUS
A THiRTY-TWo PER CENT IN
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS.

That Canada has come rapidly to
the front in the past ten years is am
ply shown in the results Of the census
recently made public. The population
OF the Dominion is now placed at
7.0S1 1863, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring it up t.
IN millions as compared with 5,371,-
Bis in 1901. Though these figures are
large, they do not present total an
large as was expected but they do
show greater increase of percentage
In population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was 24%; the per-
centage Of increase in Canada for the
decade Is 1920. Thus it will be seen
that the provinces west Of the lakes.
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping of grain and the Valleys Of
British Columbia capable of producing
fruit with which to supply it's neigh
boring provinces east Of the noun
tains, have attracted numbers, which
has exceeded the most optimistic Of
the expectations of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies Of the ten years
ago there was but a spare scattering
of people; but today, no matter In
which way you 60, take any direction,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class Of people in good sized set
Elements with plenty of room for five
or six times as many more. The pop.
ulation of Alberta Is set down at 372..
919, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared
with 91,270 in 1901; Manitoba's 1884,.
691 compares we'll with it's 255,211 In
1901; and so does that of British Co.
lumbia-362.76S as against 17s,657 in
1901; but in territory as large as
this population of 1,643,O00 is little
more than discernible in point Of num-
bers. The work through it has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; its cities, Winnipeg
with $4,000; Vancouver with upwards
Of 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed

where; we'll maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
reason of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is scarcely dis.
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
| even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development of the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but
beginning. The next decade will
show far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding vel
come the progressive and Industrious
citizen. The invitation is a standing
one. At the Forthcoming land exposi.
ton in Chicago, Canada will have one
of the best exhibits of farm products
that has ever been made and 1t will

Doctor Traps and Causes Jailing.
of Girl Fools Errand' 'Phoner,
and Finds She's Friends Sister
He Had Been Tormented Long and Finally Succeeds in Dea
ing Her Wire Long Enough to Enable
Cops to Catch Her.

When DIR. John H. Young, of Mont
clair, enraged at the many false tele-
phone calls which have sent him on
countless wild-goose errands day and
night, appeared in court against his
molester whom he had trapped by
quick work last night, he was appalled,
to discover that the prisoner was the
sister of one of his most intimate
friends.
The woman, Miss Isabella Williams,
formerly a newspaper correspondent,
after spending the night in jail, was
given a private hearing by Recorder
Henry L. Yost today. When her father.
Frank P. Williams. gave a bond of $500
that she would cease to molest the
doctor, she was released.
DIR. Young is the most recent victim
of an epidemic of false telephone mes
sages which have swept Montclair at
intervals during the last ten years.
The physician. aroused from his first
sound sleep, would wearily ask who
wanted him. Then he would set out
to the place designated, usually in an
out-of -the-way place. Finally he
would discover that the whole affair
was hoax, and he would return to
his bed, planning how he could trap
his tormentor

Positive Identification Of the man
who was found murdered in an empty
freight car standing on a railroad
crossing near the Plank road was made
today by his wife. He was Dennis
Archibald Carey, jr.. 40 years old, of
SO Second street, New York
His wife, who called on Captain Car
roll, of the detective bureau, today,
was able to make this Identification
through the clothes of the murdered
man. In a gold locket she had a pic
ture which resembled that taken by
the police of the dead man.
This is the first actual step of any
value yet made in the solving of one
of the most mysterious murders which
have baffled the Newark police.
Through Mrs Carey 1t is hoped to run
down the murderer.
The murder victim, Mrs. Carey said,
was the son of Dennis A. Carey, a re-
tired Boston sergeant of police, and the
brother of the Rev. Joseph Carey, OF
the Church of the Heavenly Gates.
South Boston. Carey came of a good
Boston family.
Mrs Carey was given clippings
describing the murder by her landlady,
Mrs Stegeman, yesterday.
On the night Carey disappeared two
men called on him. Later he left with
them, telling his wife that they
were going to Bellevue Hospital TO have
a bruise on the face of one of the two
men treated. That was the last she
ever saw of him.
Carey worked as a bartender for
Nicholas White, at Hester and Eliza
beth streets, New York. He had been
married nine years but had no chill

I've met Voldo on the street two
weeks ago last Saturday. We had just
seen him dancing at one of the
theatres OF course we nodded to him
and he smiled back at us.
"'You are some dancer Mary said
to him.
"He seemed pleased, and stopped to

we were getting in the factory. That

wanted to start on the stage.
"I came home and we waited until
the end of the week. Then, Sunday
afternoon, Mary and I met him and
agreed to go to New York with him.
We told father and mother that we
were going out to buy some fruit.
Then we went to New York with him.
"He treated us very we'll, but things
began to look blue, oh, so blue, the
next day 1 didn't see any chance of
getting on the stage. Voldo said he
was running short of money Then we
both wanted to get back home. We told
him that, so he gave us the money to
come back Monday afternoon.
"Neighbors gossiped so much about
our being away that mother got angry
and said she would have Voldo ar

with a shotgun.
In North Caldwell, Mrs Jennie UNI

Mrs Scranton, alone in her home in

window.
What do you want here?" she de-

The first robber snapped on his cleo

light stabbed the darkness.
The burglars were facing the dan

steady that they fled pell-mell.

Scranton was asked.
