GEORGIANS ARE SELECTED
DIRECTOR HARRIS PICKS THEM
FOR CENSUS BUREAU WORK.
Declares He Is Looking Out for His
Section and Issues Statement De-
Tending His Appointments.

WASHINGTON GeorgianS
have been assigned to important du-
ties in the bureau of census, these
being Prof E. C. Branson If Athens,
former Congressman VIM. C. Howard
and Judge John C. Hart, state tax
commissioner.
At the time he made these appoint
ments Director Harris of the census
| bureau declared he does not intend
to see any section of the country dis
eliminated against. His statement is
as follows:
All Sections Recognized.
1T has heretofore been customary
for the director of the census to APP
point men from different sections of
the country who are specially quail
fled to do certain work in connec-
ton with the compilation of various
statistics While a large number of
such experts have been employed by
the bureau from time to time upon
different inquiries the only man ever
selected from the South in recent
years was a professor from one of the
negro colleges. Since | assumed the
dictatorship of the bureau | have rec
ognized all sections of the country
and it is my purpose to see that the
South is not Disseminated against.
"One of my first official acts after
being sworn in was the appointment
of Prof. E. C. Branson of the State
Normal School at Athens, Ca, to pre-
pare certain reports on plantation life
in the South. DR.. Branson has made
a special study of farm problems and
rural economics and is well qualified
for this work.
w. NJ. Howard Appointed.
THE census bureau is authorized
by law to take a census of manufac-
turers every five years, and while
the collection of these statistics will
not begin until January, 1915, prep
arations are now being made for the
work in that connection. | have re-
Gently communicated with Hon. VIM.
NJ. Howard, former congressman
from the Eighth district of Georgia,
TO ascertain WHETHER ne WIZ doSiob
in preparing the schedules for the
manufacturers census. His expert
ence on the tariff board would make
him an especially valuable assistant.
Judge Hart to Assist.
Judge John C. Hart. tax commits
sioner of Georgia, will be requested
to assist in preparing the text in re
gard to the taxation laws Of the vari-
Gus states for the report on which
the bureau will compile next year.
The information given in the last re-
port on this subject relates to peri
cd about five years previous to the
date of publication. We will COM
plete the next report in less than IL
months after the appropriation be-
comes available.
Il do not believe better informed
men than these Georgians can be
found in the United States for the
important duties assigned to them. :"

Secretary of the Navy Daniels tho
other day called attention to the fact
Reduce Number 1873. The number
of M;dd;ae OF appointments to-
- '"'ueS' the naval academy
win be reduced one-half, each senator
and representative in congress being
allowed but one after that date instead
OF two as at present.
The opinion of department officials
is that congress should so amend ex'
listing laws as to permit the appoint
ment Of at least ten candidates at
large by the president Provision for
this was contained in the naval bill
of the last session OF congress, but
was struck out in the house on point
Of order.
The academy can accommodate
many more midshipmen than are now
there. and 1t is feared that If more
appointments are not authorized the
shortage of naval officers viii in'
crease.
The revision Of the curriculum OF
the naval academy at Annapolis has
resulted in a decrease in the number
of first-year men dropped for de-
ficiency in studies, according to Sec
Rotary Of the Navy Daniels. 1t has
been found that the lessening Of the
proportionate count given to examina.
ton marks has had beneficial result.
The recent entrance examinations
also sh1wed an increase over the usual
percentage passed Out OF 1876 ex.
amined this year, IS per cent upassed.
while the average for the last six
years has been about Al per cent
passed.

cember "a is George Standt, of
1920 Hoyne avenue.
Standt has now been removed
from the Wesley hospital to his
home, and is doing well. He suf-
fered a basal fracture of the skull
in the fall.
The name of the electrician
whose leg was crushed in an ele-
vator accident in Carson, Pirie,
Scott &Co.'s store january 2 is
Edward J. Steinberg, Of 1148

Steinberg still is at the Wesley
hospital. His injured leg is in
plaster cast.
These names and the condition
of the patients were given The
Day Book by Gordon Pirie, the
millionaire son of one of the
founders of the department. store.
Apparently the attempt to sup
press the news Of the accidents at
the store was made without au-
thority by subordinate. officials of
the store-such as A. ]. Cronin,
superintendent of the stores Sc
cret service, and the unenlighten-
ed secretary Of J. A. Wood, gen
eral manager of the store.
