Dissertation OF TOMB
IS CHARGED To Three
Conspiracy Between Vandals and
Detectives Alleged in War
rants for Others.

Pittsburg. Pa. March Hilary
H. Perkins of a firm of local detectives,
and James NIcKane, an employe, were
arrested for conspiracy here today by
officers from Erie, Pa. Almost sinful
taneously Mortimer HH. Hall, a relative
of Perkins, was arrested In Erie, Pa,
on the same charge The arrests were
made in connection with the dissertation
of the mausoeum of the late Congress-
man, W. L. Scott, in Erie. in February,
1911. The men furnished bail of 1880
for a hearing at Erie, March 90.
At the same time warrants were
issued for Gilbert Perkins. father of
Harry, who was head of the detective
business, and Chares Franklin. former
manager of the bureaus Philadelphia
branch. The two latter men were
convicted of blackmail in connection
with some blackhand letters sent to
Mrs. Charles Strong, of Erie. during the
of the vandalism a year
ago. and were taken to Leavenworth
prison from this city last Tuesday.
The charges are said to have been the
result of a conspiracy to cause the
of the tomb. that the detec-
tive agency might be employed to
unravel the alleged mystery.

Kentucky Complimented.

Washington. ID. c., March 2o.-The
Director of the Census has admitted
Kentucky to the registration area OF
the United States for the year of
1911. This makes the twenty-second
state included, and raises the popu-
lation having accurate registration of
deaths to 63 per cent of the total
population of continental United
States, 59.2li.Oco.
The Kentucky law went into effect
January /, 1911, so that 1t is marked
testimonial to the efficiency of the
system of registration recommended
by the Bureau of the Census that the
results for the first years of its oper-
alton have entitled it to admission.
Other states that have recently been
included under these provisions of the
model law are Ohio and Missouri.
The model bill has also been passed
by both Houses of the Virginia Legis
lature and amendments of the present
law, designated to bring it into more
thorough compliance with the ac--
cepted system, are now being con-
sidered. on the recommendation of
the State Board of Health, by the
Legislature of Maryland, Kentucky
however, is the only state south of
the Ohio river to possess efficient
registration of deaths, and the Bureau
of the Census Is actively engaged In
recommending the passage of similar
laws for other states of the South.

Kentucky Farm Statistics.

bulletin just issued by the Fed
eral Census Bureau embodies practi.
cally complete agricultural statistics
for Kentucky as gathered in the
Census Of 1910 and subsequently corr
rected and compiled. The phamplet
contains thirty-five pages and EN-
braces a great variety of information.
Kentucky is the fourteenth State
of the Union In population rank and
is the thirty-sixth in land area. Of
the entire land area OF the State,
S6.3 per cent. is In farms. Fifty-eight
counties have from 60 to 80 per
cent. Of their land in farms, while
fifty-nine counties have 80 per cent
or more. In only two counties is
the farm proportion less than three
fifths of the area and these counties
are Bell and Harlan. lying together
in the south eastern corner of the
State.
The average value of farm land per
acre for the State as a whole In
1910 was s2i,s3. as compared with
1924 in 1909. In average value per-
acre Fayette county stands first with
an average Of $lo69S. jefferson comes
next with an average of s9O.i0 against
$61O2 in 1895 and Bourbon is third
with an average of sSS9i, compared
with 1910 in 1909. Counties In which
the average from $40 to 1925 an acre
are more numerous than any other
class. Most Of those in the extreme
eastern and southeastern part of the
state, the mountain counties. show
an average of less than $40 per acre.
There are seven counties in Western
Kentucky i'm which the average is
less than $40 These are Crittenden,
Trigg, Butler, Ohio. Breckenridge Gray
son and Edmonson.
The number of farms in 1910 was
2j9,ls5, an increase of 2i.5ls over
the number reported In 1900, The
average size of farms decreased from
1871 acres In 1900 to $50 acres in
1910. The average value of farm

The sheriff had been threatened when
he rode fearlessly into the mountains
and arrested Allen. An inland jury was
chosen. because the citizens of this Sec

An unorgani2ed posse is pursuing the
outlaws. 1t will be morning before the
