A PARDON BOARD
 FOR CITY FINES
MAYOR, CHIEF OF POLICE AND POLICE JUDGE MUST AGREE
 ON REMlTTANcEs.
Question of Whether the Pardon POW. CT Shall Lle Wholly With Police
 Judge Answered by Council

A parlon board, composed of the mayer. chief Of police, and police judge, was last night by the city cum cil authorized to act on all remit. tances of fines in the police court in Che future.
 Heretofore the police judge has usu- ally used the equivalent to the par doning power. through remitting fines, or parts of fines
 In the report from tiie police depart ment last night it was shown that the fines assessed were about $2.l00. anu the fines paid only about sl,lOO The fines committed were about $S75.
 It was the opinion of Mayor Waters and the council that the sum of fines committed was in too large a propor- ton. and after much consideration ot the case. Alderman Shepherl intro duced his pardon board resolution which requires the unanimous consent of the mayor, chief of police, and pos lice judge, before fines may be re, mitted after they have been assesseL L
 The mayor stated that according to the police court report, the city should have received about S75 dayS work on the street gang, and he did not believe there was near that sum of days worked.
 On the question of taking the full authority of pardon from the police judge, an opinion was asked of City Attrney Mclaughlin, and he stated that in his opinion the police judge would have the authority to remit. or to undo anything he had inc power to do.
 Alderman Ellis called the attention of the council to the form of commit ment issuei by the court. which sends the person fined into the custody Of the chief of police. and he called a. tention to the responsibility of the chief of police. in matter where. un- der the opinion rendered, only the police judge conh act
 Alderman shepherd then introduced his resolution, which was unanimously passed
 In speaking of the case, Mayor Wat, CTS stated that there was necessity for looking into the question, since something was wrong Either the DO. lice were inefficient or over efficient or there was some hitch, when there were so many fines committe or re, mitted, and he favored the adoption of the resolution. as check on the city system which would reduce the whole 10 a business proposition.

 VALUE OF PRODUCTS.
Also There Is Material increase In the Number of Wage Farmers In
 Hot Springs.

Statistical information sent out by the United States government show Hot Springs had made greater ga@i than any other city in the state in the matter of the increase in thA value of of its products Also the in- crease in the number of wage earn CTS of the city is shown to be very material, as will be observed from tho following government report:
 ''The largest percentage of increase in value of products and average number of wage eamers from 1889 to 1904, 2l3l per cent and 1543 per cent, is shown for Hot Springs. This city also shows the greatest per ceutage of increase in number of wage earners from 1904 to 1909, 40e. but Fort Smith shows the grestest percentage of increase in value Of products, 60.5, due chiefly to the establishment of such new industries as the manufacture of brick and tile, carriages and wagons and materia, 6, refrigerators. and canning and pre- serving" From 1904 to 1909 the value of tine manufactured products of Fort Smith increased 60.5 per cent and the average number of wage earners employed there 3S7 per cent, During the latter period Little Rock. the largest and most important city in the state, showed an increase ot 46.7 per cent in value of products and Of 2.3 per cent in the average number of wage earners, while Pine Bluff showed a decrease of 4.5 per cent in value of products and 21.5 per cent I number of wage earners.
 The cities of Little Rock. Fort smith and Hot Springs showed in- creases in the average number of wage earners and in value of pro- ducts, both from 1899 to 1904 and from 1904 to 1909. Pine Bluff T. creased in both respects from 1899 10 1904, but decreased from 1904 to 1909 The percentages of increases were generally greater from 1899 to 1904 than from 1904 to 1909 The city ol Argenta was not incorporated in 190G and since the totals for the city are shown in 1909 for the first time, com

IS SCHOOL CENSUS
ON The DECREASE
Special to The Tribune

Special to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Are Few
err children born? DO larger NUMBER
die e million of population now
than twenty years ago? Or Is the
average length of human life mater
tally increasing?
These are questions suggested III
the introduction of the statistical re-
port of the United States Bureau OF
Education for 1911, following the
statement that the percentage OF the
total population enrolled in the schools
in 1910 was less than in 1891. ,
It is pointed out that important
methods of gathering statistics &C.
count for a part Of the loss, put Oh
the other hand other authorities mote
that compulsory education laws and
like social agencies are bringing d
greater and greater proportion OF emil
dren to the schoolhouse door. The In
%troductory statement to the Educators
Bureau document says in part:
"There was an apparent decrease
in the percentage of the total popu'
lation enrolled in the schools as a
whole from 1884 in 1890 to 21.54 in
1910. The loss may be given in num-
bers as 919, 1923. In other words, the
grand total of school enrolment IN
1910 would have been 2O,731, $40 II
the percentage of 1880 had been main
tanned, in place of the 19,Sl1,922 grand
total. -.
"All this loss and more is suffered
by the elementary schools, for the
higher institutions made substantial
gains and the secondary schools show
marked increase in enrolment as
compared with the total population.
There is no reason for the belief
that the schools have lost ground in
reality. This comparison is with to-
tai population, not school population
and it is probable that there are rela'
lively fewer children now than Tor
merly.
"If there are not so many children
proportionally, there will naturally be
proportionally fewer pupils. Further
more, it is we'll known that the con-
slant improvement in statistical meth
DDS has resulted in the elimination to
an increasing extent of duplicate en-
rollments. The decrease that results
is apparent only and causes no con-
Germ"
In further support of this conten,
ton, figures are cited which show that
had the apparent relative decrease OF
919,723 in enrolment been real, the
loss would have Deen more than made
up in the increased efficiency of the
common schools, for the per cent OF
average daily attendance increased
from 6S. 81 in 1891 to 71.30 in 1910;
the average length Of school term in.
creased from 134.7 days to 1875 days
between the same dates. At the same
time the average number of days,
schooling received by each child OF
school age increased rom 500 in
1890 to 8O.5 in 1910, while the aver.
age number OF days attended by each
pupil enrolled increased from 1878
in 1890 to Hoo in 1.

Pioneer Rairoader Writes of
Early Days in The Dakodas

The following letter received by
Capt. Grant Marsh is self explanatory
and will prove very interesting read
ing to old.timers as well as new set
tiers:
Roanoke, Va, July 6, 1912.
My Dear Captain Marsh:
A few days ago l received through
the kindness OF Mr.. r. H. Walker,
whom you probably remember, a copy
o. the Conquest of the Missouri
and having been a resident Of that
section OF the country during the
stirring times Immediately preceding
it and for some time after Clusters
massacre, 1t being my pleasure to
have had intimate acquaintance with
General Custer, and a great many OF
the officers who were killed with him,
as we'll as other prominent characters
who were identified with the develop.
ment Of that country, having also had
the pleasure of meeting you, although
possibly you may not recall 1t, ! was
extremely interested in reading this
book, as 1t recalled many incidents
with which ! was personally familiar.
In 1873 l was appointed General
Master Mechanic of the Northern Pa.
cific railroad, in charge Of their mo,
tive power and equipment, and was in
that country until 1878. OF course al.
ter the elapse of IS years, it is diff
cult to recall all OF the detail OF
events, but / we'll remember your ar.
rival at Bismarck with the wounded
from the Custer battlefield, and had
the pleasure Of meeting you after your
arrival.
1t was my impression that Capt.
Nick Benson was the pilot with you
or that famous trip, although l note
that this is not confirmed in your mar
rative. l recall wildly fitting up a
pair of Elk horns, mounting them on a
shield, the shield being lettered with
the record of the trip, which shield
was mounted on the pilot house of the
boat. 1t is possible, however, this
referred to some other trip and not
the trip from the Yellowstone with
the wounded, although | am quite
sur that Capt. Bensen's name ap-
peared as pilot of the trip in ques-
ton. ! thought it was probable that
you might recall the circumstance,
and if l am in error in the matter, you
could correct me.
There is another thing in connec-
