WASHINGTON. April 22.-Mem-
Der of the diplomatic corps in Wash
ington were contemplating today the
unpleasant prospect OF "a drought for
the fear years mt state affairs given
by William j. Bryan. Most of the
ambassadors were initiated into the
aridity of the new diplomatic dim
ners last night. when the Secretary
OF State and Mrs. Bryan entertained
at their hotel with a dinner in honor
of the Right Hon. James Bryce. the
retiring British ambassador and Mrs,
Bryce. Unfermented grape juice and
bottled water, but no wines. were
served.
This is the first time for many years
that members of the diplomatic corps
have been invited TO a formal dinner
in Washington where wines have not
been served. In the last fifty years
there have been secretaries of state
who have not drunk wine, but~so far
as Washington can remember no sec
rotary of state ever refused to defer
TO the customs of this and other CAPT.

WHERE we FIND EMERALDs
Famous Muxo Mines In the Republic
Of Colombia Produce Finest
Gems.
FOSTE1-Am1URN CO.. B.lf.Is. Nev Yes

The finest emeralds are found in
the Republic of Colombia, at the IA
nous Muzo mines in the department
of Boyaca, seventy miles north by
west of Bogota, which have been
worked since 1855. The Spaniards
mined there In the middle Of the six
teenth century. but withdrew after
time, owing to continual fighting
with the Indians: with the result that
for awhile the locality of the mines
was unknown. They are now worked
by an English company. in partner
ship with the government. The emer-
aids at Muzo occur in calcite veins
running through black carboniferous
limestone In all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone is COW
cred with earth, in which bushes and
trees are growing; this has to be
cleared before prospecting is possible.
When calcite veins have been located.
the side of the hill is dug away in
banks" usually by Indians, whose
chief tool is a steel bar forged to
point at one end. The pieces of cal.
cite vein are examined specifically
for emeralds, and are then set aside
for conveyance to the sorting-shed,
where asdetailed exa minatiun N made.

The greater part of the Senate ses-
sion, which was not long, as the body
adjourned early to go to the Stock
show, was taken up with debate over
the bill introduced by Senator Viii
liams to submit constitutional
amendment to the people to make

same proposed amendment was defeat
ed at the recent election by almost 20,-

Senators Williams, Van Tilborg,

of the bill. They contended that the
people did not have a chance at the
election to study the merits of the
measure because of the multiplicity Of
initiated and referred measures that
were submitted to them.

Proposed Measures Fix Passenger
Fares by Dividing state Into
Divisions.
Denver.-Two bills to establish .
mileage charge for passenger rates
on railroads, bill for a constitution

at their discretion to establish separ-
ate schools for colored children. bill
licensing and placing under bond all
commission merchants handling farm,
dairy. orchard or garden produce.
wares or merchandise, and several
bills to protect the health Of children
were introduced in the House Of Rep
resentatives.
The bill for the segregation OF col
ored children In schools was intro
duced by Representative Warren M.
Persons Of Colorado Springs. There
are many people from Texas, Okla
homa and other southern states who
spend a good part of, or even the en-
tire year. at Colorado Springs. Many
prominent men there favor such
law. Some of the colored people
themselves are urging it, as they
claim that their children are discrim-
mated against under present condi-
tions.
Representative Young is author OF a
bill which establishes an eastern and
western division of the state for pur-
poses of regulating passenger rates on
trains. An arbitrary line from north
to south running through Fort Collins,
Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and Trinidad is established. In
all territory east of this line the fare
is to be 2 cents mile; in all terri
tory west of it, or the mountainous
region, the fare is to be 3 cents
mile.
Representative Sweets bill estab-
fishes the same geographical line and
places the mileage in the eastern zone
at 2 cents per mile. In the mountain
GUS regions the mileage is based upon
the earning capacity of the railroads
per mile. In no place shall the mile
age charge be more than 4 cents,
where the earnings are less than ILL.,.
900 per mile. The minimum charge
for mountain roads will be cents per
mile. For roads which are mixed and
which do not segregate their earnings.
the charge will be az cents q. mile
where the earnings are under 1920
per mile, and 8 cents per mile where
the earnings are over $1,000 per mile.

Studying Census
Methods Already

Washington, Oct. 3.-Hon. William
j. Harris, director of the census, re-
Gently appointed William R. Merriam,
ex-governor of Minnesota, and S. ID.
N. North, both former directors of
the census, Professor Walter f. Will
cox of Cornell university and w. S.
Rossiter, formerly chief clerk Of the
census, as special agents Of the bu-
reau to make studies of the present
ing particularly the unfinished work
Of the thirteenth census and plans
for the better organization and ad-
ministration of the bureau in connec-
ton with its future operations. Daniel
G. Roper, first assistant postmaster
general, and formerly an official OF
the census bureau, was called in as
an advisor These gentlemen have
been on duty at the bureau for sev-
eral days and have been making in
guiry and studies concerning the va
rious problems assigned to each Of
them.
1t Immediately became evident TO
these investigators that the problems
before them in the bureau should bc
treated in two separate divisions:
First, and most pressing, the disposi-
ton of the much delayed work of the
thirteenth census, and second, the
plan for the future conduct of the bu-
reau. The Investigations thus far
have been directed at the first division
of the problem. namely, the over
hanging work of the thirteenth CEN
sus, and recommendations to the fol-
lowing effect, embodying the findings
OF these agents, having been submit
ted to the director of the census.
In pursuance Of the instructions of
the director of the census, we have
made special study of certain
branches of the statistical work in the
bureau, and in submitting the recon-
mendations hereinafter enumerated
We have had regard to the following
facts: (a) That the act authorizing
the taking of the thirteenth census
requires that the reports of that cell
sus shall be completed and published
on or before July 1, 1912; CD that
although three and one-half years
have elapsed since the enumeration
itself, much of the thirteenth census
work is still uncompleted; (c) that
the regular annual report and other
work required by law during the in
| tercensal period have been greatly de-
layed because large body of census
clerks is still employed upon the de-
layed work of the thirteenth census;
(d) that the value and usefulness OF
the annual and other reports re-
quired by law are largely dependent
upon the promptness with which they
