TAKE CITY CENSUS
Blackwell Finds That It's
Population Has Doubled
Since Oil Strike.

Special to The World.
BLACKWELL, okla, Nov. IS. -
The census of the city of Blackwell
was taken in less than one hour re-
Gently and the number of people in
the city accurately obtained in that
time. The census showed that there
is something over seven thousand
people in this city at the present time,
and 1t was taken by high school stu
dents organized by Supt. A. j. Lovett
into districts for the occasion.
This city has been making n rapid
growth of the past six months be-
cause of tho location of several in
dustries here and the play from
the oil field northeast of here. There
was much speculation as to the exact
number Of people who had come
here since the industrial opening and
just how much of growth the city
had made.
Superintendent Lovett then con-
ceived the idea of having the school
students go over the city, and to dc
that the town was divided into about
one hundred districts Two pupils
we're assigned to each of the districts
and at a special meeting all were in.
structed on what they should do in
their district when the time came.
The pupils were to make no record
OF the names of the people in the city
but were to ascertain from each house
in their district how many people
were living there as permanent resi-
dents and If they had moved to the
city in the past six months They all
began work at "A specified time and
an hour later all reported to the su-
rerintendcnt I'm his office.
The census showed that of the
seven thousand people in the city who
were here TO make their permanent
home more thn $500 had come here
during the past six months. The 1910
census Of Blackwell showed the popu-
lation to be 3,240, and it is not prob.
able that thece was any noticeable
change in the population until the
past year, when the industrial oppor-
portunitics from tho gas and osl
fields began to show up.
Aside from the organization of the
city into districts which took fun
day, the census taken Of the city did
not require more than one hour. and
1t !s planned to repeat 1t probably
once every month, for in that way
an accurate knowledge of the growth
of the city can be obtained. The
same district organization will be re-
tanned and in that way the location of
the greatest amount of growth in n
part of the city can also be recorded,

CARRANZA TO HOLD

Over Rcigns of Government

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 7.-Fcreign
Minister Aguilar tonight Indicated
that General CarranZa would remain
in charge of the executive power Of
the republic until after elections are
hel0 and he is able to hand over the
reins Of government to a legally
elected president The minister ad-
ded that General CarranZa would run
for president If public opinion de-
manded. He pointed out, however,
that any positive action in this mat
ter would be taken in the distant flu
ture, as 1t was necessary first to hold
municipal elections and then elections
for congress and that complete state
of peace must exist before a presiden-
tal election could be held.
General Aguilar expressed the be-
lief that General Carranza would not
call Gen. Pal 10 Gonzales to the cab
met at this time, but that General
Gonzales would return TO the state of
Morelos to finish the campaign
against the followers of Zapata.

sion that Gerrigan's wish for the pic
ture might be gratified. Graham

THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN.
Profound Regions Near Japan and
Philippines.

The deepest regions Of the ocean
are commonly close to the shore, and
are believed to have been caused by
the crumpling inward Of the earth's
crust, due to the pressure OF the near
land. Such Is the "Tuscarora deep" a
long, narrow trough which extends
northward from Japan along the coast
Of Asia, its bottom being more than
2G600 feet below the SURFACE Of the
sea and 1860 feet below the general
level of the oceans floor. An even
more profound abyss is the Aldrich
deep, close to the Tonsan and Ker-
mandeck islands, which sinks to n
depth of 30,950 feet.
The greatest yet found. however. is
the Swire deep, off Mindanao, OF the
Philippines this being 32,089 feet, or
3,0S9 feet deeper than Mount Everest
Of the Himalayas is high However,
one gains an idea OF the rarity Of
such abysmal regions from the fact
that of the $3.50 soundings that have
been made and reported in water over
1000 fathonS in depth, only seventeen
were greater'than 1000 and only three
exceed 5000 fathoms in depth. The
greatest recorded depth of the ocean
is only i09 feet more than six niles

CHILD LABOR BILL
IN MIDST OF FIGHT
Democrat and Republican Senator
Launch Attacks Together

WASHINGTON, Aug S.-Senator
Overman, Democrat, and Works, Re

child labor bill with constitutional
arguments in the senate today the
former, insisting that If 1t were upheld
nothing would be left OF states rights,
ard the latter declaring it a step di-
rectly toward a despotic centraliza-
tion Of power.
The bill was defended by Senators
Pomerene, Husting and Vardaman,
Democrats. Senator Husting de-
clared opponents Of the measure were
hiding their real sentiments behind
the constitutional question. Senator
Brandegee, Republican, announced,
he believed the measure invaded the
rights of the states.
Despite his belief that 1t is uncon-
sttutonal. Senator Works said he
would vote for the bill because he
thought the supreme court should
finally pass on the question. He criti-
cised the southern senator's support
ing it, charging they were too willing
to give up the rights OF their state
governments.
