WILL TAKE FULL CENSUS
TOCONV|NCE SUPERVISOR
Chamber of Commerce Seeks Re-
vision of Census Which Gave
Pullman but 244O Population

The chamber of commerce is de-
termined in it's efforts to secure
revision of the census figures COM
piled by local enumerators for the
federal census and will leave nothing
undone that might strengthen its
case before the federal census super
visor, before whom the appeal must
be made.
At the meeting of the chamber Of
commerce Tuesday the census COM
mittee, headed by William NJ. Por-
ter, was authorized to proceed at
once with complete count of the in
habitants of the city in an effort to
secure a revision of the census taken
by the federal government, which
gave Pullman but 2440 inhabitants.
1t is believed that the population of
the city is fully 1000 more than this
figure. The taking of the census
will be in charge of George Schroeder
and the certified list of bona fide
residents on January l, 1920, will be
submitted to the census supervisor as
evidence that the federal government
should make a revision of the count.
One citizen stated at the meeting
Tuesday that he can name II resi-
dents who were missed, stating that
on one street eight or nine houses in
row were not included. 1t was
pointed out that the city registration
prior to the 1916 presidential cleo
ton, plus the school census and the
births in the last five years would
give the city a population greater
than the 2440 credited by the fed
eral count.
Last week Mr.. Porter, as chair
man of the special committee named
to have the matter in charge, wired
to w. E. McCroskey, district super
visor, at Colfax, stating his case. Mr..
McCroskey referred him to the fed
eral supervisor of census in Wash
ington, D. c., and a wire was at once
dispatched to that official, asking If
4 recount were possible. The super
visor in his answer asked a number
of questions, including the total of
the school census and the total OF
the city voting registration. This in
formation was furnished and the re-
ply was TO the effect that the city
registration figures do not indicate
serious error in the taking Of the
cnsus The ratio of voters to popu-
lation, he said, in ordinarily between
so and 10 per cent AT that ratio
the city's registration in 1915, which
exceeded 1900, would indicate q
population no greater that the 244O
as shown by the federal census.
It is believed, however, that many
of Pullmans citizens were missed
when the census was taken and that
the figures to be compiled by the
chamber of commerce, certified and
submitted 10 the federal supervisor
will be sufficient evidence to prove
to that official that a federal recount
should be granted.

STRIKES TAXI DRIVER
WITH PIPE WRENCH
Courtie Slow Assaults Virgil Knapp
in Murderous Fashion--Wanted
Machine, Is Story Told

Charged with having struck Virgil
Knapp, a taxicab driver, twice over
the head with a pipe wrench, Cour-
tie Slow, son of G.. d. Slow of this
city, was taken to Colfax by officials
from the sheriff's office to answer
to charge of assault with intent to
murder. The young man hired Mr..
Knapp Saturday night to drive him
to the country, claiming that he had
left some belongings in a harvest
field near Whelan. When the driver
entered the field the threshing outfit
was gone. Without warning, Slow,
who was in the rear seat, struck
Knapp twice with the pipe wrench,
which he is alleged to have had con-
cealed in his pocket. Knapp was
momentarily stunned but recovered
just in time to grab the wrench as
Slow was raising his arm to strike
/ again. He wrested the weapon
from his passenger and forced him
to get into the front seat. Driving
to Pullman Mr.. Knapp turned his
charge over to the officials and the
/ sheriff's office mas notified.
Slow is alleged to have admitted
4 the offense, stating, it is claimed,
that he intended to knock Knapp
unconscious and take the automobile
/ to Moscow. where he had girl
whom he wanted to bring to Pull
ted that he intended to leave the
machine with its unconscious own
er as soon as he was through with it,
disclaiming any desire to steal the
machine.
Knapp was bleeding freely from
two nasty wounds in his head when
he reached Pullman, and was sitting
in a pool of his own blood as he
/ drove the machine and menaced
Slow to keep him quiet. Several
stitches were required to close the
wounds.
Slow has figured in previous court
escapades and several months ago
was arrested on a charge of forgery,
it being alleged that he had forged
worthless checks. He has been out
on probation and only Saturday
made his regular report to the SUI
perior court. He is not quite Is
years of age.
1t is alleged by several local peo-
pie that Slow had been endeavoring
to borrow a revolver for several
days, every indication strengthening
the belief that the attack was pre-
meditated 1t is believed by some
that Slow intended to murder Knapp
and make away with the machine.
his failure to obtain a revolver re-
sulting in his taking the pipe wrench.
The blows are said to have been of
sufficient force to have killed Knapp
had they struck him in more vital
spot on the head.
Knapp showed extreme presence
of mind and courage in turning the
tables on the assailant, who is a
larger man.
Slow was kept in jail in Colfax in
default of $4,000 bonds and was ar
raigned before Judge McCroskey
/ Tuesday morning. He entered a
plea of guilty, but maintained that
he had no intention of killing Knapp.
He was sentenced to five to 10 years
! in the state reformatory.

WHEAT TAKES TUMBLE;
NO SELLING REPORTED
With Seventy-Five Per Cent of the
Crop Harvested Only One-Third
Is Sold

Wheat took a decided tumble in
quoted yesterday at 10 cents under
the prevailing prices of a week ago.
There was no selling under the re-
duced quotations, the farmers show
ing a disposition to await higher
prices and most of them arguing that
better quotations are bound to be
made later in the season. 1t is esti-
mated that rs per cent of the 1920
crop is harvested, that 60 per cent
is in the warehouses and that only
80 1-3 per cent has been sold. Early
last week the market took sudden
squirt and many farmers unloaded at
prices around the 1925 mark, prac-
tically all of the wheat already sold
having been marketed during the
two days of the furry.
Yesterdays quotations on the To-
cal market were as follows:
Red wheat ............. S2.1 z
Barley, per cwt. ........... 2.25
Oats, per cwt. .... $50
Rains again interferred with the
harvest operations this week, most
of the outfits working less than half
time during the week. The opera
tors report difficulty in keeping full
crews under the unsettled conditions
and many farmers have been called
upon to help their neighbors through
the crisis. The cold nights are also
the cause for some complaint by har-
vest hands, who object to sleeping in
the open.

Shortage Of Homes in d. c. Serious;
Promises to Grow Worse While Tight
Money and High Costs Are Blamed

shortage Of homes in the District
of Columbia Is going to be very sc.
rious In the near future. In fact
more serious than 1t Is at the pres

prominent builder of this city. Ev-

less there Is q radical change which
will correct these adverse conditions
In the very near future, there will
he practically no homes on the local
market to be purchased at any price.
Hare is the situation as outlined
by Mr.. Wire to the Real Estate Ed
ftor of The Herald:
"The building associations ana
trust companies OF the District OF
Columbia have withdrawn all sup
port in the way of loans for home
material is dificult to get now.
nd the outlook Is that IL will be
very hard to get for some time.
Builders who engage in home build
ing must start their building opera
tions within the next silky days II
they hope to have homes completed
by the fall. II they are unable TO
/ start because OF ldCh Ol iuhus wiz
which to finance them or through
inability to get the necessary ma

then there will be no building un-
dertaken until next spring.
New Ones Sell Fast.
I'm the meantime. all the homes
that now are being put up-only

being sold fast Not only are they
being sold rapidly, but the people
are putting large sums down for the
Initial payment, and in a great many
Instances they are paying cash. For
one row of houses in the northwest
