SEVERAL NAMES
.M|SSEDATY NJ. c. A.
BY CENSUS MEN
Only 81 Secured Out of a To-
tai Of .146-Mr. Cross
Tells Why.

Further evidence that the census
enumerators in this city had missed
many names of Newark residents was
disclosed today when it was found
that only sixty y-seven names had been
secured out of the Newark Y. M
c. A, while in the dormitory total
there is 146. There are many of in
diVidual instances apart from the Y.
NJ. c. A, all of which have led those
who have given the matter close
thought to believe that a total
which should have been about 145, 600
for Newark will fall considerable un-
der that.
The fact that many persons were
missed by the census takers was first
told of in the Evening Star yesterday.
Washington Cross, assistant to James
r. Nugent, census supervisor I'm the
county, said that he didn't think this
was so. Some individual cases were
cited, for Mr.. Cross and then he was
told about the Y. M. G. A. He ad-
mitted that his count from the Y. M.
G. A. was only sixty-seven, but he
said that he expected to get the 9TH
ers by mail next week. AS far back
as Thursday Mr.. Cross had announced
that the taking of the census in New
Even before the Y. M. c. A. matter
came up today, he said that there
were only three country districts To
hear from.
The enumeration at the Y. NJ. c. A.
dormitories that Mr.. Cross expects to
accomplish by mail is the most inn
portant part of the enumeration. The

pants of the building. exclusive OF

The method Of canVassing the Y. M
G. A. building for names consisted
largely of depending upon the resi-.
dents themselves to do the work. A
bundle of census blanks was left al
the building and the management OF
the place did its duty by putting one
blank i'm each little cubbyhole assign

BERLIN (via The Hague), June 26.
"A strong editorial in the Berliner

pected today to have most i'm
portant influence on the German

The Tageblatt, in the first compre-

both of Germany and of America, to
view the situation sanely. and not to
be mised by "jingoes." The edito-
rial, 1t was the opinion here today,
will go O long way toward checking
