WAR REGISTRATION WAS
UP TO THE ESTIMATE
Figures Show Slightly in Excess of
100000 Given by May IL Gen.
sus-Short in Washington.

Washington, D. C.-Director Sam
census, department of commerce, has
authorized the following announce
ment:
Return from every state, with Nj
agara county, N. Y, and three pre-
cincts in Wyoming missing, show a
total registration of 9,659,3S2, or $50
per cent of the census bureaus esti-
mate, allowance being made for the
missing territory.
The apparent shortage, about 49,
600, is considerably less than the
number of men 81 to 80 years of age,
inclusive, who are estimated by the
war department to have been in the
branches of the military and naval
services of the United States on
June 5, and for that reason exempt
from the requirements of registration.
This number is 100000. On the face
of these figures, therefore, it appears
that the number of men between the
ages of 81 and 81 in the United States
| is slightly in excess of the number
estimated by the census bureau on
May IL, 1O,O79,O00.
OF the 9,659,3S2 registrants report
ed, 7,347,734 are white citizens, 953,
S99 are colored citizens, 1,239,S23 are
unnaturalized foreigners from coun
tries other than Germany; 111,S23 are
unnaturalized Germans, including
"declarants," that is, persons having
declared their intention to become
citizens but not having received theil
final naturalization papers, and 600
are Indians.
There is nothing in the returns t.
indicate that there has been any gen
eral attempt at evasion of registra
ton by any important element of thu
population.

The Bow Paddler.
pressive event.

Contrary to the general notion about
the relative Importance of those in
canoes manning, the bow paddler
stands first. Among Indian voyagers
he is the captain of the crew. His will
is law, says Outing.
Not arbitrarily is a captains power
vested in the bow paddler; it is the
outcome of experience and the basis
of Ii is skill. The advantage of a
canoe is. though. that, being lighter in
draught than any other known craft,
1t can be taken into very shallow
water; and just here, accompanying
this advantage, lies a danger which
the bowman must be able by his skill
to meet. 1t is his business to watch
for and avoid obstacles. snags, dead
heads" slightly submerged tree trunks
and shoals; and the last two are some
times very difficult TO see before one
is almost upon them. But a bowman
must be able to see them much is at
stake, life itself even. Especially in
certain kinds of rapids-running it is his
trained eye for navlgable water and
his skilled hand quick to guide the
boat into it on which the safety of the
crew depends.

LOADED STREETCAR

NINE KNOWN DEAD, OTHERS
MISSING, TWENTY INJURED
BY PLUNGE.

At Least Two Bodies Go over WhirI-
pool Rapids-Car Was Speeding

Track Gave Way.

Niagara Falls, N. "a Belt Line
car on the Great Gorge route left the
rails, plunged down a 20-foot embank-
ment and turned over in 10 feet of
water on the edge of the whirlpool
rapids Sunday afternoon. Nine per-
sons are known to be dead, two per-
sons known to have been ON the car
have not been seen since the acct
dent and probably are dead, an in
definite number, estimated at from
two to TO- are reported missing and
more than a score are in hospitals
suffering from injuries received in
the accident.
A washout, due to recent heavy
rains, was the cause of the disaster,
which occurred just below the canti-
lever bridge and 60 feet below the
point where the smooth water of the
upper reaches of the Niagara river
break into the turbulent waters of
the whirlpool rapids. There were
more than so passengers on board,
according to general estimates.
Car Was Crowded.
The car had all but completed the
circuit of the gorge, having crossed
from the Canadian side of the river
on the trolley bridge at Lewiston.
The car was one of the open type,
the seats extending from side to side
with steps on both sides the entire
length of the car. All seats were oc-
cupied and some passengers were
standing between them and there
were others on the rear platform.
The car was running at speed OF
20 miles an hour. Less than half a
minute elapsed from the time the
motorman felt the first sway until
the car was bottomside up on the
edge of the rushing rapids. AS il
slipped down the 20-foot incline from
the tracks to the edge of the river
screaming men and women fought tc
escape and some of them were able
to get free, but were unable to OBJ
tain a footing on the steep bank.
Mad Scramble for Life.
There was a mad scramble in the
shallow water between the wrecked
car and the river bank. From the
river side the bodies of at least two
of the passengers were seen TO be
caught in the swafter waters ant
were carried down to the whirlpool
