S0UTH'S SHARE OF
 G, ., ?. DELEGATES 10 RE FURTHER LOWERED
Party is Tired of the Prennial
 Contest Crop

Chicago, June Representation of the southern states in future republi- can national conventions would fur ther be reduced under plans to be urged on the national committee.
 Many of the onrthern committeeman feel convinced that the last reduction did not reach the mark at which the committee was aiming and they cite the crop of delegate contests brought to the national committee from the southeri states with accompanying cooked up evidence, packed or secret conventions and stacks of affidavits which some delegates before the com- mittee charged had been obtained at "$5 throw"
 In practically every contest before the committee speakers have de- clared that the republican party would meet little success in the southern states unless it took steps to check the alleged practices. As the first step, the committee by unanimous res olution warned that no local or dis trct conventions for the next nation al convention must be held in places not accessible to all, regardless of color. The same committeeman who proposed that resolution have now after further study of the subject prepared to submit plans to slash the delegate representation of the south ern states to a minimum in harmony with the number of republican voters they bring out at the polls.
 The plan is to give the states rep resentation by limited number dele gates at large and to put the required number of republican votes in the congressional districts at q mark which will reduce the district dele gate representation. The South Car. olina case centered the attention oi committeeman on that feature as Il presented an instance of state cast | ing 1,5OO republican votes being rep resented in the national convention with ii delegates. The understanding is that the committeeman framing tho plan will present it to the present committee before it goes out of ex istence and use the proceedings of tho contest hearings to argue the reason for the change they demand.
 Many committeeman from the nor thern states particularly are disturb
 ed over the negro vote as it was rep Some contests were straight out ant resented at the contest hearings
 out black and white issues and II
 some of them the negroes brough
 prima facie evidence of being in con Il trol of the party machinery. In som' of the cases this argument was uset
 by the appealing delegation in en treating the committee to recognize
 their delegates on the ground tha
 "negro domination" as some speaker expressed it, would prevent the break ing of the solid south.

Mayor Says Disclosures at the Hear iugs of Committee Investigat

Washington, June 5.-Congress was charged today by President Wilson with failure to take important rem edial action with respect to the cost of living" and to give serious "con- sideration' to the revision of the tax laws and the problems of peace.
 Telegraphing to the heads of six teen railroad brotherhoods several hours before congress adjourned, the president said "it must be evident to all that the dominating motive which has actuated this congress is politi- cal eXpediency rather than lofty pur- pose to serve the public welfare" The presidents message was in re- cials protesting against the adjourn ment of congress. MT. Wilson said that Gin the light of the record of the present congress l have no reason whatever to hope that it's continuance in session would result in construc. tive measures for the relief of the economic conditions to which you call attention"
 The president added that "the pro tracted delay in dealing with the problem of the railroads, the prob
 lem of the government owned mer chant marine and other similar urgen
 matters has resulted in unnecessary
 burdens upon the public treasury ant
 ultimately in legislation so unsatis
 factory that l could accept it, if a

NEW HOSPITAL ON SOUTH CHERRY IS
 TO BE ERECTED
Dr. Clark Plans Structure
 Remodel Present Sani- tarium

A new, thoroughly up-to-date hos pital will be built by Dr. o. w. Clark on the Cherry street pike, in the neigh borhood of where he now lives, and not far from the Country club, soon, according to plans he announc- ed last night. Construction of the hos pital is being held up, Dr. Clark said, on account of the scarcity and high cost of building materials. As soon as prices regain a normal level, he will proceed with the erection of the hospital, he states.
 pr. Clark has been planning new hospital for several years, as the pres ent quarters of the Clark sanitar- ium are not adequate to the number of patients to be accommodated.
 The present sanitarium on West Fifth, between Main and Pine streets, however, will be used for some time yet, until proper arrangements for the new hospital can be completed. The sanitarium has been closed for two weeks, while repairs inside were being made, and it will be again re- opened tonorrow, with added facili- ties. The interior has been thorough ly overhauled and repainted and it is thought that this building will accom- modate patients comfortably for the next several months.
 The sanitarium will reopen with the former superintendent of the Florence sanitarium in charge-Mrs D. M. Cantrell. Seven trained nurses from the Florence will also be added to the Clark force.
 Mrs. Cantrell, who has been operat, ing the Florence, has, it is said, clos i ed the institution. What future plans are for the Florence sanitarium, was not learned.

5,621,151 PEOPLE LIVE IN NEW YORK,
 THE CENSUS SHOWS
Boston aFils to Pass St. Louis Fourth City
 in Size

Washington, June 5.-iNew York had 5,621,1 people on January 2. an increase of S54269 or 17.9 per cent over 1910, the census bureau an- nounced tonight. The rate of growth was smaller than ever before in the citv's history except the decade end ing in 1870 while the increase num- berically was smaller than in either of the two, decades proceeding 1910.
 The latest estimate of the popula- tcn of the city and county of Lon don, made in 1917, was 4,O26,901, a decrease from the official census of 1911 which showed a population of lation of New York City with that of officials to be different because of of the cities. New York City proper covers 287 square miles, while for ceusus purposes the city and county of London cover 116 miles. The small increase in the growth of New York City during the past de- cade is attributed by census off cials to the almost complete stop page during the war of the influx of immigrants.
 Boston's population is 747,923, an increase of 7,33S or 11.5 per cent over 1910.
 The increase in Boston's popul- ation was not so large as that of St. Louis, whose total population is 773,0O0, an increase of 111,791 or 19.4 per cent over 1910.
 St. Louis therefore retains its rank as the fourth most populous city and Boston will hold fifth rank unless Cleveland, sixth city in 1910 whose population has not been an. nounced, shows an increase exceed ing 1S6,000 to bring it's total past | Boston's.
 1 St. Louis in ten years increased its 1 lead over Boston from 16,500 tt | 25,000.
