MORE CLERKS TO GO.
Between 500 and 1000 Census
Employees Go January 10.

Again the executive ak Of the Census
Bureau is about TO descend. Yesterday
Director f. Dana Durand made public
the announcement that on January 10 a
large number would be dismissed. No
figures were given out indicating the
number Of those who will lose their po-
sitions, but II was understood that be-
tween 800 and LOO Of the employees would
leave the service.
~''This is part OF the policy announced
some time ago." said Director Durand
last night. ''and Il will be the last for
some time TO come. Dismissals Of this
kind are, of course, made necessary by
the lack Of funds to carry the employees
longer. But even with the funds II
would really be unnecessary to carry so
large a force. The work which necessi-
tated these extra employees has been
completed"

Edgar H. Farrar, an attorney OF New
Orleans, and former president Of the
American Bar Association, yesterday
outlined before the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce. new splan for
dealing with the evils OF trusts The
scheme, Mr.. Farrar said, was one which
lie had worked out himself. His plan
contemplates a compact between the sew
eTal States, with the consent OF Congress,
for excluding the so-called bad trusts
from doing business in any State except
the State where they have their origin
and from which they obtained their
charters. He declared that in his opin-
ion there was no question as TO the right
OF Congress to say what corporations
shall engage in interstate commerce
Congress, he said, gets this right from
its powers to fix the rules and reguIa-
tons for the control of interstate COM
merce, and this power, he maintained,
includes a prOhibitory right, and has
been so decided by the Supreme Court

to urge a system of paved roads in the

tors decided that they will possibly call
a mass meeting of citizens at the cham
Der Of commerce and try to obtain an
expression as to the feeling of the major

and improved or not. The other roads
in the county, chairman Clayton argued,
which had been paved have proved of
great benefit to the sections through
which they run and were partially re-
sponsible for the high value of land in
the valley east of FL Paso. The direc-
tors will await the report of Judge Eylar

A week before the Christmas holt
days an undergraduate wished to start
home, thus gaining a weeks vacation
on the other students. He had, how
ever, used up all the absences from
the lectures which are allowed, and
any more without good excuse would
have meant suspension. In guam.
dairy he hit upon this solution; he
telegraphed his father the following
message:-
