NEVADA'S POPULATION
AGAIN SHOWS DECLINE
Alabama Passes Tennessee in
Census Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. Alabama,
South Carolina and Wyoming made sub
stantial gains in population in the last
ten years. while Nevada. the smallest
State in the Union in point of popula-
ton, became the third State to show
q decrease.
The Census Bureau announced to-day
that Alabama has a population OF g.
345,295 an increase OF 209.202. or 9.S
per cent over 1910. The State thus
passed Tennessee in the standing of the
States.
South Carolina has a population of
1,6S3.662. which Is l6s.262. or ILL per
cent. greater than that of 1910. The
State. however, fell short OF its relative
growth in 1910 by 2 per cent.
Wyoming. next to the least populous
State, has population of 1914 which
Is an increase of 4s.437, or 33.2 per cent.
compared with the thirteenth census.
The State showed its second largest
numerical growth, but its percentage
incease was the lowest.
Nevada's population was announced
as 77,407, decrease of 4.46s. or 5.5
per cent. 1t was the States third pop
ulation decline. the decade ended with
1890 showing II to have decreased 20 8

MILLER AGAIN RAPS
OCEAN SHIP CANAL
Menace to Brooklyn Interests
Emphasized to Business

WOULD DIVERT FREIGHT

Nathan l.. Miller Republican nominee
for Governor. told the Brooklyn Cham
Der of Commerce in an address at lunch
con yesterday that the plank in the
Democratic national platforom which
Gov. Smith helped to draft, pledging
the party to the construction Of an ocean
ship canal Via the St Lawrence River
means inestimable damage to Brooklyn
Interests and to the business of the port
Of New York.
The immediate result Of such an I'M
dertaking, IN so far as the port of New
York is concerned. Judge Miller said,
would be to cut down the shipping of
this centre. Not only would such n canal
cut off virtually all oceanbound freight
which now comes by way of the Erie
barge canal to. New York, when admit
teddy the barge canal Is being utilized to
not more than one-tenth of its capacity.
but it would effectually divert through
the st. Lawrence the great bulk of COM
merce bound to foreign ports in the flu
ture when the utility of the canal shall
have been developed to its fullest
Damage to Barge Canal.
Maritime business from the great
Western territory through this port to
coastwise points also would be throttled.
he said. In short. the Democratic
party's proposal to build an ocean canal
along the st. Lawrence. II the project is
successful, would be to reduce the barge
canal to q mere carrier Of local freight
Judge Miller said. however. that he
entertains serious doubts whether the
st. Lawrence project ever could be
made feasible and practical. He de-
ciared that the best Information upon
the subject which he has been able to
obtain indicates that the undertaking
could not be made successful. The time
and dangers involved in the navigation
of ocean going vessels through such long
and tortuous channels as necessarily
would constitute the St Lawrence route,
he pointed out. would impose an insur-
ance rate upon shipping which would be
all but prohibitive.
In that event the United States would
be called upon to sink hundreds of mill
ions of dollars in a project which would
be a failure and the State of New York
would be called upon to bear more than
one-fourth of the expense of bringing n
white elephant into existence.
Expensive for State.
But granting. he said. that the st.
Lawrence canal could be made q sue
cess. New York still would be called
upon to bear one-fourth of the United
States share of cost of construction
and the only thing the taxpayers of this
State would receive In return would be
a tremendous impairment of their in
vestrnent of more than $4,000. 900 in
their own barge canal. And while wreck
ing the usefulness OF their own canal
and throttllng shipping at the terminal
points OF that canal. he added. New York
would be helping to put Canadian st
Lawrence River cities in a position TO
take advantage OF the shipping which
the New York ports would lose and to
become serious rivals of New York ports
