SALOONS LOOTED

NEW YORK. Jan 24-Former inter
nal revenue agents who have no con-
nection with the service at present are |
beloved responsible for wholesale rob |
berries of saloon keepers in widely diver |
gent sections of the city during the |
last few days. The holdups have net
ted thousands of dollars i'll the aggre-
gate as well as large amounts of liquor
of various sorts
The robberes have been particularly
hard to trace, as but few of the saloon
proprietors who were victimized would
come forward with complaints. To do
so would be to admit violation of the
eighteenth amendment, and in most
instances the complaints have reached
| Mr.. Quigley's Office in the custom
house through friends of the liquor
dealers. Robberies have been reported
| from establishments on Second, Third,
| Fourth and Tenth avenues, as well as
in Harlem and the Bronx.
The holdup men would enter a saloon
where they Beloved liquor was sold and
after calling for a drink and being
served they would exhibit badges and
make threats of arrest. Nearly always
they would agree to accept money and
drop the case and amounts ranging
from 800 to $500 were collected. FIRE.
quently the fake revenue agents would
take away all the liquor in the place.
In one saloon on the East side the
supposed enforcement officers brought
two young women with them and
forced the proprietor, after taking his
money, to serve the party with cham
payne in the back rooms. Over 100
saloons are said to have been robbed
by impersonators.
California wine and Kentucky whis-
key are still continuing to arrive here

CENSUS TAKING rs
MAKING PROGRESS
Hoped to Get Population of Cities BY
June and Whole Population
BY October.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Announee
ment of the population of practically all
cities of the country by May or June and
the total population of the entire coun-
try in September or October is the ex-
pectation of the director of the census,
Sam l.. Rogers.
Population statistics of some of the
cities probably will be completed by
March or earlier. Washington, D. c., is
expected to be the first as it was in the
18th census in 1910.
THE enumeration is in progress
throughout the entire country said Mr.:
Rogers today "Advices from the super
visors Indicate that during the first week
of the work at least 10000 enumerators
were started.
1--WE find that in some districts it will
be necessary to postpone the enumera-
ton because of weather conditions. There
has been no opposition to furnishing the
information requested by the. enumera-
tors.
THE supervisors report the mple-
ton of the enumeration in many dis
tricts, and as rapidly as the enumerators
turn in their portfolios they are being eX-
and are being put in shape to come to
Washington The supervisors have been
| instructed to send the schedules as rap
idly as consignments can be made ready
| We therefore naturally expect large
amount of the work to reach the office il
/ Washington during the latter part OF
this month or the first of February. but
as general rule the enumeration will bt
! completed throughout the entire country
by the first of February. 1t will be som'
time, however, before it will be Finished
in the districts where it has been post
poned on account of climatic conditions
I'VE are now organizing force 0
clerks who will be equipped to exanfin
the schedules as rapidly as they are re
ceived from the supervisors. These clerk
will make preliminary count of til
population. This preliminary count vii
be made public as rapidly as the total
for the cities and the minor civil divis
ions are obtained. The population o
the cities will be announced first. W
, hope that the total population of tn
country will be known in September c
; October of this year, and the populatio
: of the cities should all be announced b
! May or June"

Hoover whose boom for the Presidency

friends, some of whom admitted that

tion of a number of Hoover clubs all

fwho viii urge Mr.. Hoover's nomina-
ton on the sole ground that the eoun.

and that Mr. Hoover's war rceorG
shows he exactly fills the bill.
One of Mr.. Hoover's friends wa.
asked whether he would claim alleg
lance to either the Republican or tn,
Democratic Party.
Politics will have nothing to Dc
with his campaign at the start, - h
replied.
Before long Mr.. Hoover will max
his declaration of principles. This vii
be in substance his platform. 1t vii
set forth just what Mr. Hoover be
lieves to be the issues of the campaigi
and his own attitude toward thes

 THE CONGRESS
Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Unless President Wilson changes his plans at the last moment, he will no ad- dress congress personally tomorrow but will send a message in written form.
 It will be read to house and sen ate sitting in separate sessions as was done with the presidents mes sage last December, and as was the custom until Mir. Wilson began the habit of addressing congress per sonally.
 The president did not make known his intention to a joint committee oI the house and senate which called today at the White House to notify him that congress was in session. but members of the delegation left him with the impression that he would not appear before congress in person. The presidents statement to the committee was that he would communicate with congress tomor- TOW. Senator Lodge, the republi- can lCdutI III llc SSlldlS, Was lIlC spokesman, and he and the president thus met face to lace, for the first time since the League of Nations covenant and the peace treaty were defeated ill the senate under Sen ator Lodges leadership. The presi- dent did not shake hands with his visitors They were ushered into the Blue room by White House att tendants and then MT. Wilson ap- peared from an adjoining room. He wore a blue sack suit and used cane.
 On entering the door, he smiled and; pointing to his cane, said: "You see, gentlemen, l cannot yet dis pense with my third leg"
 The committee was at the White House only few minutes and the president remained standing at the door of the room during the inter view. Some of the visitors said that in walking his left leg evidence his afflictien and that he kept his left hand lip across his chest

CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-Con- gress reconvened today with the GUS tomary brief and routine opening sessions which were attended by great crowds and marked by an ad- dress in the senate by President elect Harding as an unique and his toric feature.
 Senator Harding took his seat, answered his name when the senate roll was called and made brief ad- dress from the rostrum.
 Other features of the opening of the third and final session of the sixty-ninth congress were receipt ol annual appropriation estimates az gregating S4,653,00O,000- and intro- duction in the house of an unusual volume of new bills and resolutions.
 Senators held up their bills until tomorrow, in accordance with the custom of limiting the first day to formal convocation The principal business today was to arrange for receipt tomorrow of President Will sons opening message. The senate was in session 25 minutes and the house notwithstanding its longer roll call, only twice as long.
 New members elected in Novem- Der to fill vacancies were sworn in and adjournment taken to noon when both bodies plan after receiv- ing the presidents message. to get down to work. r-.a ~.
 As usual. the senate session pro- ceeded with digniiied calm and the house with boisterous confusion. The latter's roll call was taken amid a bedlam of felicitations of returning members and conversation of mem. bers and spectators.
 The program for tomorrow's in auguration of work called for de-. bate in the senate on the bill for federal regulation of the meat in dustrt and for the launching of inn migration restriction legislation in the house. The house immigration committee bill prohibiting inmigra- ton for two years was reported out today and the rules committee to- morrow will consider a rule for its immediate consideration under limi- tation of debate.
 More than $50 new bills and reso- lutions were dropped into the house hopper today and a flood of similar proportions is expected tomorrow in the senate.
 In the house, measures dealt with almost every conceivable subject in cluding proposals for repeal of war laws for appropriations of millions of dollars for myriad purposes, pension and many measures for farmer relief.
