CORNELL
GUMNERS SEEK LICENSES
Registration Likely to be Heaviest in
Years, is Report.

Il is expected that the registration of
Pennsylvania hunters for 19l4-l915 VIII
rival that Of last year. when approXi-
matcly SooOoO hunters took out the
papers required to permit them to hunt.
IN addition it is estimated that more
than 10000 farmers, their families or
their tenants hunted on their own lands
last year, taking advantage of the pro-
vision in the law enabling them TO do
80 without being licensed. The estimates
are being based upon reports made of
tho sale of licenses, which is stated to
have been heavy in n number of cou1-
ties where tho demand was light at this
time last year. 1t Is expected that there
will be a brick demand for licenses early
in October.

SPINNING COIN
LAST DETAIL FOR
WORLDS SERIES
Braves and Athletics Having
Easy Time-Phillies Meet
Cubs in Double-header
Here This Afternoon.

Practically the only matter of i'm
portance in the major leagues which
has been left undone is the spinning Of
the coin to decide whether the first
games ehsll be played in Philadelphia or
in Boston While neither the Athletics
nor the Braves have mathematcally
captured the flags in their respective
leagues, nothing short Of an earth
quake can head the present leaders.
The Giants lost their last chance yes
terday when they were beaten twice in
the course of four hours at the Polo
Grounds by Miller Huggins' band of
former contenders During that period
OF time the Braves were evening mat
ters with the Cincinnati Reds, thus
drawing further away from the metro
politan enemy. Should the New York
ers. by some strange freak of fortune,
be able to capture their last thirteen
games. the Braves would have to win
eight out Of their final fourteen.
That the Giants have completely lost
heart was evident in their second game
with st. Louis The fret contest was
close, but when the Giants finally lost
out. they appeared to give up all hope
for the pennant allowing themselves to
b. shot to pieces by the shower of hits
and runs made by the st. Louis club.
Hank O'Day's much -buffoted players
will be seen again this afternoon at
Broad and Huntingdon streets. A
double-header is scheduled, to begin at
l:s0 o'clock. The heavy batting of the
Phillies Yesterday showed the Cubs
plainly that the Daisies are still trying
to win games

Adjournment Of Congress.

Washington, March p. Congress
will have to work night and day if it
is to get through by the list Of July,
although the congressional leaders
have fixed the LIST of June as the prob
bic date of adjournment.
President Wilson has expressed his
confidence in the ability of congress
to conclude it's work in time for an
early adjournment, although he has
laid out ii program of legislation which
will mean busy times. The president
knows how the currency bill was push
ed by, although many men predicted
that it would not be passed for sew
cral months. In orle-, to accomplish
this result the senate met ut 10 o'clock
in the morning and ajourred at IL
o'clock at night.
1t must be remembered. however,
that a great deal OF outside pressure
was cxertcd. There was an impend-
ing money panic. or ut least a tighten
ing of the money market, on account
OF the fear the banks expressed over
what might happen in currency leyis-
latiOn.

CHURCH GAINS FOR 1913

where denominational returns are not
available until two or three months
after the beginning of the year.
"Mcst Of the numerous Mennonite
branches do not attempt TO gather any
statistics. Therefore the census re-
turns Of 1906 were used, except for
the. Mennonite Brethren in Christ.
Now. the results of thorough can
vass of all branches made in 1911, by
a cooperative effort of representatives
of seven branches, are available. and
the figures are all for 1911, except the
Mennonite Brethren in Christ, which
are for 1913.
a word CT explanation concerning
the figures for the Roman Catholic
church in the column of COMMITMENTS
lie directory gives only population
which includes with communicates the
uncenfirmed baptized; that is. children
who have not been admitted to their
first communion. The rule adopted in
the census of 1890, and followed in
1906. deducts Is per cent from Catho-
lie population and sets down the re-
manning IS per cent as communicates.
II should also be said that the figures
for population are, for large num-
Der of the dioceses and archdiocese,
estimates given in round numbers, as,
for example, Baltimore. 100000; Bos-
ton, 100000; Cincinnati. 100000 but
every year sees an increase in the do
ceses giving mere exact returns, as
Santa Fe, 140,573: New York, 1919
500; Albany, 201.246. The editor of
the Catholic directory believes that
the total population is understated by
nearly two millions.
The figures for Jewish members are
misleading. The denomination fur
nishes no statistics. Nothing later
than the census of 1906 is to be had.
Even so, it is obvious that there must
be more than $4,000 (the census fig
ures are less than these) adults con-
nected with Jewish congregations. But,
technically, only the heads of families
are counted as members The Jewish
Communal Directory for Greater New
York for 1912 gives list of 274 con-
gregations in the greater city or

bership of $50, with seating capacity
of $500; Temple Israel Of Harlem re-
ports $50 members and 146S seating
capacity. The Jewish population of
Greater New York, carefully estimated
by several methods, is set down by
DR.. Joseph Jacobs at about 100000.
The Jewish population of the country
is estimated by other authorities at
about 100000. The adults who are
practically members of congregations
should therefore be four or five times
greater than $4,000.
No response has been received to
repeated requests for information for
1912 from the Christian Science church
or Christian Catholic church (Dowie).
The figures of the former for min
listers and churches are for 1912; for
members are for, / 907.
The statistics of the Church of the
Latter-Day Saints are those of 1912,
as furnished from the office OF the
presiding bishopric in Salt Lake City"
