CENSUS BUREAU EXHIBIT
;AT PANAMA EXPOSITION
MACHINES FOR TABULATING FIG.
UREs AND DATA ARE ATTRACT
ING MUCH ATTENTION..

| Washington, d. c., Sept. 22--One Of
the interesting exhibits at the Pana-
ma-Pacific Exhibition is that of the
Federal Census Bureau. Its most
prominent feature is the display of
automatic tabulatipg machinery but
statistical publications, some of which
are of great historical value, together
with maps, charts, diagrams, ETC., are
also attracting much attention. Com
menting on this exhibit, the San Fran
cisco Daily Journal of Commerce,
says, in a recent issue
Aside from the general interest
which the exhibit of the United States
Census Bureau, in the Palace Lib
eral Arts, is arousing, is the pai((eular
interest it has for business men and
on population, agriculture, manufac-
lures, forests, mines and quarries,
mortality, and finance are shown in
the various publications of the bureau.
together with reports by states and
counties and an analysis of the figures
secured. One feature OF the exhibit is
attracting the attention of foreign
governments. This is the automatic
tabulating machine (of which there
are three on exhibition used in the
compiling of vital statistics. These
machines tabulate and print results
at the rate of 100000 cards per day.
They are owned and manufactured
by the government. Maps and charts
showing the census figures for Cali
fornia are displayed, and also a series
of charts illustrating the registration
areas for death throughout the coun-
try. To become a registration area
state must prove that it reports at
least ninety per cent of it's deaths. The
present registration area comprises
about seventy per cent of the United
States.
"The genealogical value of the CEN
sus records is not generally appreci.
ated. They contain a return of the
whole number OF persons within the
several districts of the United States
in 1890, and the first census, taken in
the same year, contains the heads of
families of twelve of the eastern and
southern states, together with the
members of the families, free or
slave. Some of these original records
for that period are shown in cases.
William Lane Austin, of the Washing
ton office, is in charge of the exhibit"

RAILROAD MEN GIVE
VIEWS ON VALUATION

Washington, Sept. 3O.-A commit
tee of railroad presidents, headed by
Samuel Rae of the Pennsylvania
Lines, will appear before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission today to
present their views upon the funda-
mental principles of physical valua-
tion of railroads. The railroad mag
mates have views on valuation that
differ materially with the govern
ment's plan of valuation. 1t is pos.
sible also that members of various
state railroad commissions may be
heard.
, The work of valuing the railroads
OF the United States is one of the big
gest undertakings ever begun by the
government. So far it has cost about
five millions of dollars, and five to
seven years more may be necessary
to complete the work. Judge Charles
A. Prouty is director of the valuation
work for the commission, and he has
estimated the cost of the work at $12,.
100000. When the valuation of all
lines is completed, the governments
estimates will form the basis for the
making of all railroad rates.

MOUNTED
POLICE BEING
CONSIDERED
SUGGESTION OF BILL TlGHLMAN
- NEW YoRk'S GOVERNOR is
URGING SIMILAR PROJECT FOR
HIS STATE.

Oklahoma City, Jan. t.-Suggestion
by William NJ. Tighlman OF this city
that Oklahoma ought to have a
mounted police force similar 10 the
Texas Rangers, is being considered
by number OF the legislators. In
this connection II Is noted that the
new governor. Whitman, OF New
York in his hrst message to the
legislature OF that state, will urge a
law providing for state mounted
police.
The Merchants association of
New York is favoring this law. New
York is pointing to the good results
that have howu from the organiza-
ton Of soldier policemen that has
helped to preserve order in Pennsyl-
vanla. Pennsylvania has 22S young
men, divided into four troops. They
have forty seven sub stations in thir-
ty different counties. They effectual-
ly guard and preserve order in a
territory having an area of 4,50O
square miles.
State militia is not trained for
police duty and is unable to do a
great many other things which the
Pennsylvania mounted constabulary
has been able to accomplish to the
benefit of the state. The Pennsyl-
vania Rangers are good detectives. |
They are life savers in times of |
flood, mine explosions and large fires. |
The record made in five years by |
the Pennsylvania force is comparable |
to the work that is done by the |
Northwest Mounted Police of Canada
During the past administrations in
Oklahoma there have been occasions
several times for police duty in eX
cess of what could be performed by |
the local constabulary The COVER
nor has sent out militia at great eX
pense and with considerable friction.
1t is argued that mounted police
force such as that of Pennsylvania
and such as New York is consider
ing would accomplish "A great deal
more in much better manner than
the military OF the state. In this
the experience of Texas
along the Rio Grande river seems to
point to the necessity for a large
force of Rangers or mounted police
in that state.
