MAIL CARRIERS FOR CENSUS
Director Ourand Thinks They Should
Be Used in Gathering the Stats.
tics That Are Required.

Washington. Feb. S.-That Uncle
Sam should use the mail carriers for
the gathering of the census is the rec
ommendation made by United States
Census Director Durand, in his annual
report TO the secretary of commerce
and labor. which was made public here
today.
Director Durand thinks the govern
ment not only will save much money
but will get more accurate statistics
IL il impresses the mail carriers into
this service. He points out that the
plan is especially feasible in respect to
rural mail carriers. He says the chief
objection to the present system is
that the supervisors and enumerators
are almost entirely inexperienced in
tSe work

decennial census. the report states

adopted-211 to Ca special rule for
considering the Webb bill to prohibit

The vote was preceded by a spirited
debate, in which Representative Fitz-
gerald OF New York. chairman of the
appropriations committee, joined with
Republican Leader Mann in denounc-
Ing the action of the Democratic lead
ers in allowing the special rule TO
be presented.
The rule provided for the introduc
ton of amendments and limited de-
bate to three hours.
Mr.. Fitzgerald attacked Democratic
Leader Underwood and Chairman
Henry of the rules committee for al
lowing the remainder of the session
to be taken up by measures which
they know have no chance of being
passed"
Nobody expects this bill to become
law; it is brought up so that some

after he was shot and the young
man fired three times more.

men. Young Won Behren had ap-
pealed to his father, who believes i'm
race equality in factories. to have the
worst OF the negroes discharged.
Immediately after the shooting,

into a panic, young Won Behren
walked into the company's office and
changed coats. Then he jumped into
his fathers aUeomotile and rushed to
police headquarters, where he gave
himself up
Won Behren was given preliminary
hearing on three separate charges of
murder this afternoon He pleaded
not guilty and was held to the circuit
