Three Instances of How the Bureau OF In

Bv SAMUEL HOPKINS ADAMS.

Once upon a there s. 10 and 5O cent store IN
Brooklyn called Baleys and upon time there was
woman in BROOKLYN who saw the window pair OF bed
slippers marked 50c and wished buy them But when she ten
dered half dollar payment the aeswoan told her that they

300 ESCAPE AS
KEYPORT SINKS
Excursion Boat Pushed to
Shore Craft That
Rammed Her.
PASSENGERS LEAVE
AS SHE GOES UNDER
Women and Children Climb Up
a Steel Oangway-Panic
Is Averted.

The excursion steamer Keyport, with
800 passengers aboard-all but score
women and children-was rammed
amidships at 4:O5 yesterday afternoon
100 yards of Battery Point by tho
steam lighter Santos. She sank ten
minutes later, Just as Captain Newton
Seeley and his crew Of eighteen had
followed tho last passengers up the
gangway to the Battery pier.
Returning from Keansburg, N. j., on
her last trip, the Keyport was gliding
into her berth near the Barge Once
when the powerful Arbuckle Cofee
Company lighter, Santos, approached
from the North River at full speed.
Desperately blown danger signals and
four bells for reverse svailed nothing,
and the prov of the lighter tore big
cash below the water line on the port
side OF the passenger boat
Boat Pushed to Battery Wall.
Realizing the dangerous predicament
of the Keyport, the captain OF the
lighter ordered full speed ahead again,
and, using the prov Of his boat for
plug TO hold back the inrush OF water,
he at the same time pushed the
crippled excursion boat to the battery
wall.
Before reaching the wall, thirty pas
sengers had scrambled aboard the
lighter. A gangway was thrown up 10
the Battery wall as soon as the Doat
touched, and the women and children
who were fighting for chance to ciimo
onto the lighter or were threatening
TO jump overheard. were driven by the
captain and crew up the gangplank,
which was tipping at sleeper ana
sleeper angle as the boat rapidly
settled.
1000 See Boat Sink
Almost before the 1000 loungers in
Battery Park had realized what had
| happened every passenger and member
| of .he crew was safe on main land and
| the old excursion boat had sunk down
into the bay until only her walking
beam, funnel and flag mast gave evi,
dence that big passenger boat had
Just docked. Two persons were slightly
| injured by the crash.
The Staten Island ferryboat Bronx
stood by during the accident, but could
give no assistance.
! Old Captain thirty years on
the salt water and never an accident
before"-sat foi three hours on the
Battery wall, his compass in one hand
and his license in the other. Until
dark he watched the old craft sink
deeper and deeper into the mud. Then
| he took the old Point Comfort back 10
Keansburg-a captain without boat.

POPULATION INCREASES.
Census Bureau Finds Annual Growth
Is 1.6OO. 900.

Estimates made by the census bureau
experts Indicate that the population of
continental United States is growing
at an average rate of over 100000 a
year. According to their figures, the
population on July l last was 100 S99,-
BIS, and on January | last l0l ,20S,31
They now estimate that the population
on July | will be l02, OF 1902. or a gain
of l,6l7, 1854 for the i months For
the curious in those matters the bureau
furnishes calculations indicating that
the population Of the country is in
creasing at the rate of 4.433 persons a
day, lS4 an hour and 3 lis a minute.
1t is proper to say that the census bu-
reau estimates are based upon the rate
Of increase between the census of 1900
and 1910.
As a mattr of contemporaneou HUI
man interest, it may be noted that in
circulating figures Of per capita circu-
lation the treasury experts use some
census bureau experts for the population
their figure for January | last being
lol ,577, 900, or in round numbers $685.
600 in excess of that given by the cen
SIS experts for that date
According to the census bureau. the
western states have led in the race of
growth, Washington heading the list
with Oklahoma, Nevada. North Da-
kota and New Mexico following in the
order named. 1t is worth while to no
tlce that there is considerable vari
ance between the figures given by the
census bureau experts for the population
of New York state and that arrived al
| by the state enumeratorS last year. TIL,
| population of the state as figured by
| the latter, as of the date of June /
1915, was 9,692,254. The national cen
| s'is officials estimate that the popula
ton of the state on July l Just on,
month later, was 10,0S0,56S There i
here a difference of over 1000. an,
that on the basis of calculation al
lowing an increase of $4,000 a wear
1t may be noted that the police censu
in New York city showed a considera

LINERS LOSE EMPLOYEES
Mattresses Will Probably Replace
Men as Result of Compulsfon

Officers of Atlantic liners sailing for
British ports said that the conserip-
ton act which has just become law in
England, Scotland and Wales will aot
affect the executive officers on board.
In some cases the military authorities
will request that certain of the young
er firemen and seamen be left ashore
for service in the army and older
men, over fl years, be shipped in their
places.
Ia the steward s departments it is
expected that all the walters and bed
room stewards under IL years who are
physically fit will be taken from the
Cunard and White Star liners in
Liverpool as older men can easily do
the work. Purser LAWYER of the Cua-
arder Alaunia, which left Saturday
for London via Falmouth, said he ex.
| pected to see all the men of fighting
age taken from the steward s depart
| ment for the army on arrival
| The American liners st. Louis, st
Paul, New York and Philadelphia
carry a number of English stewards
who are shipped in Liverpool for the
round voyage and they will be taker
for military service under the eompul
sion act, and also the bandsmen whit
| play in the dining saloons.
| William Reen, chief steward of tn,
st. Paul, which leaves next Saturday
for Liverpool, said he expected to b,
obliged to carry mattresses to lool
after the passengers.
81 have no doubt that the young
women will do well when they &c
their sea legs and will wait on tabl
as well as the stewardesses have look
ed after women passengers in thei
lcabins for the last seventy-five years
We shall see lot of changes befor
the war is over, the chief stewar,
said.
