FARMING IN DISTRICT
DECLINES SINCE 1900
Figures of Census Office
Show Decrease in the
Number of Farms.

Farming in the District of Columbia is
retrogressing. according to a report of
the census bureau issued today. There
has been a falling off since 1900 i'm the
number of farms, their size and value
and the value of everything on them
except live stock.
Between 1900 and 1910 there was a de-
crease of fifty-two. or 1873 per cent, in
the number of farms in the District of
Columbia. During the same period the
total farm acreage and the improved
acreage both decreased, the former by
2S.6 per cent. the latter by 1875 per cent.
Total Value Shown.
The total value of farm property, which
includes that Of land. buildings, imple-
ments and machinery, and live stock do
nestle animals. poultry and bees), is
$S,377, 900, which. compared with the
value in 1900, indicates decrease of 26.5
per cent.
The average value of a farm, including
it's equipment. is $4,000, a decrease of
SO per cent since 1900. During the last
decade the average value of land per
acre increased by 1885, or 3.S per cent.
lation of the District has increased from
81 900 to 331 900. During that time there
has been a considerable fluctuation in
the number of farms reported, but the
past decade is the lowest, with the ex-
ception of 1870. The size of the indi-
vidual farms has shrunk, falling from IA
acres in 1860 to q acres ip 1910.

WOUNDED MAN NOT ROBBER.
Suspicious Of the Police Prove
Groundless.

Herman D. Clayton of 2914 Georgia ave-
nue. northwest, who applied at Emer-
gency Hospital yesterday afternoon for
treatment for a bullet wound in the little
finger of his left hand, was surprised
when a policeman appeared and placed
him under arrest. Clayton, who had ac-
cidentally shot himself while handling a
revolver in Maryland, did not know that
the police had been watching local hos
pitfalls all day for a wounded man to ap-
pear.
1t was explained to him that two men
had been seen running from in front OF
the jewelry store of Fl. P. Peters, 172t
9TH street northwest, at an early hour
yesterday morning, after the show win
dow in front Of the store had been broker
open and robbed, and the jeweler had sho
at them
Clayton was not alarmed by the state
ment of the police. He knew nothing OF
the eth street affair, and a friend was
with him when he shot himself. The
police soon were convinced that the
young man had shot himself and did moi
detain him further.

chief WAGNER BACK
FROMLNEW YORK TRIP
Makes Favorable Report on
New Engine Device Which
He Inspected.

Frank j. Wagner, chief of the fire de-
partment, returned from New York last
night, where he inspected and witnessed
the working of a front-drive tractor for
fire department apparatus. The trip was
made by direction Of the Commissioners
of the District Of Columbia. Chief Wag-
ner makes a favorable report as to the
operation of the horseless vehicle that is
destined to be adopted by the local de-
partment.
The tractor is to take the place of
horses and is SO constructed that the
apparatus now owned by the depart
ment may be used.
1T will give the department an oppor-
tunity to wear out the valuable appa-
ratus it has on hand" said Chief Wag-
ner, land the department has a number
Of excellent pieces of apparatus. It's adop-
ton will mean the elimination of the
horse, quick responses to alarms, and
will do away with the services of one
man to each company"
Went to New York Fire.
While in New York Chief Wagner re-
sponded to an alarm and watched the
work Of the New York firemen. The fire
was big one, the chief says, and the fire
department went at it with skill.
Chief Wagner reached home last night
just in time to attend the fire in the
Portland stable on New York avenue, and
incidentally got drenched. The chief will
make a full report of his New York trip
to the Commissioners, and it is stated
the latter probably will purchase a trac-
tor in the near future and install 1t with
one of the local engine companies.

POLITICS DAY BY DAY

The net result of the Watterson-
Tillman-Wilson controversy to date,
in the opinion of unbiased politi-
clans at the Capitol, is to leave
Gov. Wilson in the 'ostensible posi-
ton of having declined to be the recip-
lent Of aid from the plutocratic wing OF
the democratic party. The politicians
say that the present status of the affair
seems to furnish an excuse for Gov
Wilson's break with George W. Harvey
and undoubtedly has served to rally to
his support a number of the radical
democrats who up to this time had not
figured actively in presidential politics.
Col. Watterson declares that he has
proofs of the alleged willing cooperation
of the Wilson managers in his efforts te
raise funds for the Wilson campaign
The politicians are now demanding that
Col Watterson produce the proofs OF
his statement since Gov. Wilson and his
managers deny their existence.
No one appears to have taken seriously
Col. Watterson's offer to submit his proofs
to court of honor" Senator Tillmar
in his bluff way dismissed that PROPOSE
ton with the sententious remark: Lei
him publish them in the papers"
some OI the pOHtlcldnS tnlnk tnat Col

A dispatch from Omaha. Neb.. says that
Theodore Roosevelt and Senator La Fol-

CARNATIONS effected an agreement by
which they will stand together in the

lette organization was represented by

According to the agreement the pro-
gressive ballot in the state preferential
primary will be divided between Mr..
Roosevelt and Senator La Toilette, each
side naming eight representatives. and
all progressives will be asked to vote Tor
the entire sixteen as opposed to the six
teen Taft candidates.
Champ Clarks st. Louis campaign man.
ager yesterday wrote a letter to Lon
Sanders campaign manager for Mr.. Folk.
in which he refused to appoint two Clark
supporters to meet with Folk supporters
to provide for divided delegation at the
Baltimore convention.
Rule called attention to the statements
issued by Folk and Clark short time
ago in which they agreed to abide by
the decision of the delegates at the state
convention at Joplin, each declaring he
would refuse to permit his name to be
used as a presidential possibility If his
opponent was Endorsed by the delegates.
The letter is written in reply to one
by Sanders in which he urged both camps
to adopt William ]. Bryan's idea of har-
mony and agree on some plan for a di-
vided delegation.
Sanders, commenting on Rules letter.
said Clark's managers had, in rejecting
Bryans harmony advice, refused the last
opportunity for peace among Missouri
democrats.
Its now fight to the finish," he
said
