SUFFRACETTES STORM LONDON'S
 MANSION HOUSE
Many Thousands Of NOn-MiIitantS Par-
 ade Streets
Emulate American Sisters In March On Washington To
 Influence Legislation

London, July 26-Many thousands of non-militant suffragettes were on the streets of London this morning in preparation to attend a great service in St. Paul's Cathedral and a subse- queht demonstration in Hyde Park
 They had turned out to greet at the Cathedral the marching columns which arrived yesterday from all parts of the Kingdom, whence they had, in whose march to Washington to -nflu- enco legislation favorable to the Suf- fage cause attracted so much atten- ton, converged on +he Capital along tSe five great ds ending at the Mens$on House
 Every constituency ir the country seIit representatives to join the various coiu1nns during their procession march.
 The women started out on June IS and were therefore five weeks on the way. They were cordially received in all parts of the country, cIergymen, college professors, business men and notedl women greeting them and speak ing at their meeting along the route. At Bedford the trade IIIiionists gave proof of their chivalry and loyalty to the women by insisting upon forming an escort for speaker who was about to explain the suffrage cause to an audience which had previously shown hostility to it's advocates.
 No untoward incidents marred the march, and when the women reached London they made a triumpha1 entry, bearing a1oft the banners of the vari- ous societies and made their way to the official residence of the Lord Mayor.
 A cyc1ist corps of newspaper girls accompanied the marchers. some of them selling the organ of the consti- tutlonal suffrage.
 Mrs. Wawcett, I-eFzdent of the Ma tton Union of Women Suffrage socie- ties. was in command of the northern invaders.

Trouble Ahead for
 Labor Secretary Who Wants Four Motor Cars

Washington, July 26-Secretary Will son, of the Department of Labor who has informed Congress that one tour ing automobile, an electric runabout, and an auto-truck are necessary to the good conduct of the new department, Apparently has launched his request on a rocky legislative road. Members or the house who were friendly to the cabinet officers demand admitted tor day that the minority members prob ably would have fun'' with the item which likely will be included in the argent deficiency bill that the appro- Erfations committee now is preparing.
 T am afraid Secretary Wilson's re- ruisition will develop tire trouble, bad cylinders and bent axles,' said one of fhe Democratic leaders, before it gets pzst the minority objections. Other department heads have their motors and MT. Wilson should have his but this is the day of reprieals."
 Secretary Wilson has estimated that the three cars would cost not to exceed es. 500. This amount, however, may be cut down by the appropriations com Fr1ittee through the substitution of cheaper cars

Railroads Make Biz Concession; Danger

ference committee of managers on July IS announced that in the inter est of the public whole these matters. which were given in detail should be passed upon by the board which would arbitrate the demands of the conductors and trainmen for In creaSes in pay.
 refused to arbitrate the demands of the men under the provisions of the New1ands amendment but they thought that. in all fairness matters which the railroads desired passed upon should be considered at the same time.
 They present question of equity and excessive wages that the railroads felt should be corrected.
 'NThe right to include these in the agreement to arbitrate was denied by the men so they also declined to let the United States board of mediation and conciliation decide whether these matters should be arbitrated, so they then refused the suggestion of the railroads to arbitrate the question of the introduction of these matters and announced that unless the railroads withdrew their requests, a strike would be called.
 ''It is evident that the conductors and trainmen's organizations would go to the full extent of subjecting the company to the calamity which strike on the eastern railroads would cause rather than have all matters pertain ing to the questions at issue submit ted to fair and comprehensive arbi- tration.

It became known today that a. squad of secret service men, stationed here for the last fortnight in an attempt to unearth the perpetrator of whole sale thefts from the mails have been unable to get evidence enough to war rant arrests. and have left the city.
 SThe greatest secrecy has been ob- served in the search for the culprit, but it has become known that the ac- tivities of Uncle 5am's sleuths cen tered principally about the railroad station. One man was kept under almost constant surveillance. He Is not a government employe. It is cer- tain that the inspectors traced part of the loot through his hands.
 All the thefts have been in the par eel post shipments. The secret Ser vice men, who set several traps, are satisfied that the mails left the local office intact, and that the thievery took place somewhere from the time of their leaving the office to their being placed aboard the train.
 Several local concerns have been avaiIing themselves of the parcel post for the shipment of watches, jewel ry and other articles of value so com pact that they could readily be con cealed for the purposes of theft.
 Persistent reports of the loss of shipments led to complaints to the postal authorities through the Bridge port office, and two weeks ago, after several desu1tory efforts had been made a determined campaign was instituted to run down the thievery.
 For days the inspectors were sta tioned in the secret galleries that over look the workrooms of the post office, and their vigilance here, coupled with

 Then they kept the transfers of tho malls under surveillance and saflsded themselves that the hauling of the mails was not at fault. They got to tn" railroad station where there is division of responsibility among sew eral postal employees, and eliminated them, one after another, from suspf- cion.
 that led them to what they supposed would be a speedy solution of the thievery. A watch, stolen from the mails, was located in the possessfon of a railroad man. Through him ft was traced through several hands, until suspicion fastened upon a. raiI- road employes who could have ap- preached the parcel post shipment1 without exciting suspicion
 Whether he became cognizant of the activities of the secret service men or had already resolved to take no further chances, the secret service men could not determine. They had not sufficient evidence up to this fore cided that, so long as the thisvius apparently has ceased, to give up their local efforts for the present
 No adequate estimate of the amount of thefts can be made, For the postal authorities themselves believe there have been many losses that have not been reported. But the actual losses on file amount to many hun dreds of dollars.

Big Demonstration of Women to Keep Mrs.
 Young As School Head

Chicago, July 26-Plans for a demon stration in favor of Mrs. Ella B1agg Young, who rendered her resignation as superintendent of Chicago's School because of the opposition to some members of the board of education, will be completed today by women.
 Several women suffrage and teach ers organiza ations called emergency meetings to protest against conditions which caused Mrs. Young to resign. All of them passed resolutions deplor- ing her resignation and requesting Mayor Harrison to investigate.
 Every club woman in the county has been written to use her influence to retain Mrs. Young in school work.

 Lowering skies and a chilly wind today greeted the lawn tennis teams representing the United States and England, when they met in doubles in the challenge round for the Dwight F. Davis International Lawn Tennis trophy.
 Maurice B. Mclaughlin of San Francisco and Harold H. Hackett of New York represented the United States while H. Roper Barrett and c. P. Dixon formed the English pair.
 Barrett was suffering from a straiz- ed knee and had slight limp. Mo. IoHghlin apparently had fully recov- cred from the effects of yesterdays s hard match in which he was featen by J. C. Parlxe, the Irish champion. ! Princess Mary, daughter of King George, was in the Royal box.

New York, July 26-The eastern rail- roads today withdrew their demand that their grievances against the em- ployes should be considered by the Federal Board appointed to arbitrate the demand for better wages and work ing conditions made by their conduc- tors and trainmen This concession apparently removed the only remain ing obstacles to arbitration and avert ed strike.
 With this issue disposed of, the rail road managers and the labor leaders expected to reach a speedy agreement upon the next of the questions to be laid before the board of arbitration
 After a brief conference with the la bor leaders the mediators announced that the articles of arbitration would represent the sixteen original demands Of the employees without change. The only point won by the railroads was an agreement that the decision of the arbitrators should become effective October 1 instead of being retroactive.
 In a statement explaining their po- sition the managers say they have made this concession on account of the duty incumbent upon them to pro tect the travelling public.
 The managers decision was an nounced after they had spent the morning in consultation by telephone and telegraph with the presidents of their roads. It is announced in the form of a letter addressed to the Board of Mediation and Consolidation.
 The letter said:
 ITO preclude the possibility of an ether strike such as this arising when the railroads should desire to have considered important questions rela- tive to the pay and working conditions of conductors and trainmen. the con

REBELS RETREAT BEFORE NATIONAL
 CHINESE TROOPS
Boston Missionary Writes Home That Revolution
 Will Be Short-Lived

FNuchow, China, July 261The defeat of the Southern revolutionary troops at Shanghai seems to have dampened the ardor of the people of the province of Foo-hen, who sympathized strong 1y with the rebel movement but now seem inclined to remain passive, un- less the Southerners achieve an inpor- tant success. A strict censorship has been imposed on outgoing telegrams as well upon the newspapers.
 The five colored Republican flag continues to be hoisted over the muni- cipa1 government offices, but the flag staffs over the forts are bare.
 Many of the Christian missionaries have been recalled from the interior owing to the possibility of outbreaks there.
 Boston, July 26-The belief that the present revolutionary movement in China is destined to be short lived was expressed in a cablegram receiv- ed today by the American Baptist representative at Shanghai. The ca blegram follows:
 Revolution not likely to continue long. Are in no danger

WHAT IS THE
 POPULATION OF
 BRIDGEPORT !?
A comparison of Estimates By Directory, School Cen
 sus and Other Methods

In 1900 Bridgeport had a population Of 70 9e6, which during the succeeding ten years increased by 31,058, a gain Of forty-three and seven-tenths per cent Bridgeport had then according to the Federal census a population of 1o2, ,O54, which made 1t handily the second city in the State.
 Three years have elapsed and the question is, what is the population of Bridgeport now? Nobody can know exactly without taking count. But many methods of computing probable population exist which taken together, ordinarily indicate actual population with some approach to accuracy.
 The results of the directory method were exhibited by The Farmer yester- day, as an indicated present population of 2,47S, with a prospective popula- ton, including allowance for accelera- ton, of 145, 900 in 1920.
 It may interest Farmer readers of statistical turn of mind to seek what results are obtained by other methods of comparison.
 The total percentage growth for the last ten year period being forty-three and seven-te -tenths percent, and assum- ing the same ratio of growth during the last three years, and until 1920, what is the estimated population of Bridgeport now and what. should 1t be in 1920?
 The increase for one year would be four and thirty-seven hundredths per cent, which would be 4,866 for one year, 14. 400 for three years and 4S,660 for the ten year period.
 Should Bridgeport have the same ration Of growth in the ten years to 1920 it's population will be in that year about 150,0O0.
 In October, 1909, Bridgeport had an enumeration of children, aged 14 to l6 years. In Oct. 1912, it had similar enumerat ton.
 In the first period 21.395 children were enumerated, which is four and h1ndreos chl1oren to each census person.
 In the second period 23,791 children were enumerated, which, multiplied by the ratio already expressed, indicates that the population of Bridgeport is now 114,4S3.
 The directory method shows a gain since 1910 of 1o,424.
 The gain shown by applying a deduc- ton from the total percentage of growth during the last decenniaI per iod, is 14, 400.
 The gain shown by applying the ra- tio of school enumeration is 12,429.
 The greatest degree of probability is in the comparisons by names in di- rectory. The census was as of April 15, 1910, and the directory appeared only three months later.
 The comparison by ratio of total growth tends to be too large, because it includes the element of acceleration for the seven years to come
 The comparison by school enumera- ton tends to be slightly less reliable because the periods between the census and school enumerations are six months, as compared with three months with the directory
