NEW YORK CENSUS
NOT AS EXPECTED
Rate Of Growth Smaller Than d,

Rate of Growth Smaller Than Be.
fOres
Washington, June 5.-New York city
had population of 5,621, ,151, on Janu-
ary 2, an increase Of S54,26S, or 17.9
per cent. over 1910, the census bu-
reau announced tonight. The rate Of
growth was smaller than ever before
in the city's history except in the de-
cade ending in 1870. while the increase
numerically was smaller in either Of
the two decades preceding 1910.
The latest estimate Of the population
OF the city and county OF London,
made in 1917, was 4.O26,9O1, decrease
from the official census of 1911, which
showed a population Of 4,521 1856. Com
parison Of the population of New York
city with that of London is declared
by. census bureau officials to be diff
ficult because Of the areas covered by
the various. designations Of the two
cities. New York city proper covers
2S7 square miles, while for census
purposes the city and county OF Lon
don covers 116 square miles.
The small increase in the growth OF
the city Of New York during the past
decade is attributed by census officials
to the almost complete stoppage dur
ing the war Of the influx Of immi-
grants, many Of whom each year
made New York their homes, and to
the heavy emigration of foreign born
residents during the war and since
that time.
New York boroughs were shown as
follows:
Manhattan, 2,2S4,1O3, decrease A.
439, or 20 per cent.
Bronx, 732,010 increase 3O1 ,036, or
69.S per cent.
Brooklyn, 2,O22,262, increase 3S7,-
0ii, or 23.7 per cent.
Richmond, 1889, increase 10000,
or $40 per cent
Queens, 466,S1l, increase 1S2,770, or
G4.3 per cent.
Other cities were as follows:
Boston, 747,923, increase, 1888, or
l1.5 per cent.
Newport News, Va, 1886, increase
11,31l, or 1872 per cent.

BARUCH DEMANDS
PROOF FROM MASON
Ask Representative to Back Up Charg-
es of Big Thefts From Government,


washington, June 2.-B. M. Baruch,
former chairman Of the war industries
board, wrote to Representative Mason,
Republican, Illinois, today, asking that
he submit at once to congress and the
attorney general the evidence which
prompted him to charge in the house
recently that Mr.. Baruch had "stolen
$50,000,000 from the government in
copper alone"
Mr.. Baruch further demanded that
he be Immediately brought to the
bar Of Justice and condemned to pun
ishment If found guilty and exonerat-
ed If innocent from the infamous and
malicious charge you make against
me-"
Mr.. Mason in letter Of reply made
public tonight said that since looking
over his previous statement, he would
amend it to say that "you and your
associates stole $2OO,OOO,OOO in cop
per alone" He added that the matter
in which he based his charges al
ready was before congress in connec-
ton with the investigation Of war ex-
penditures.
you certainly do not expect me to
present this matter to your particu-
lar friend, Mr. Palmer, attorney gem
eral,' Mr.. Mason said, and added
Il shall, if ] live. ask the attorney
general Of the United States, after
March 4, 1921, to proceed civilly and
criminally against you and your as
sociates."
Declaring that Mr.. Baruch when
head Of the war industries board had
Copper with John ID. Ryan Of New
York, as chairman, and president and
owners Of copper producing plants in
the U. S. as members. Mr.. Mason
charged that this committee had al
lowed copper producers to buy at one
price and sell at another. He ale
charged that the committee after the
war permitted 10O00O,0O0 pounds Of
cupper which the government, he said
purchased at 90 cents pound to be
sold back to the producers at Is cents
pound.
In addition to writing to Mr.. Mason,
Mr.. Baruch wrote to Representative
Garrett, Democrat, Tennessee, and
Representative Hudspedth, Democrat,
Texas. In his letter to Mr.. Garrett,
he asked the Tennessee member "to
demand of Mr.. Mason that as he made
that statement under the protection
the constitution gives the congress,
he should do either Of two things: He
must use his utmost ability both as a
member Of the congress and as pri-
vate citizen to see that l am prose-
cuted to the limit OF the law IL he be
right, and. if he be wrong, he must
make an apology as full as was his
charge. 1t is about time that these
Borgia-like assassins OF character
cease their work, or accept the re-
sponsibility Of their actions"
In his letter to Mr.. Hudspeth Mr..
Baruch said that he hoped through
the activities Of you and those OF
your colleagues. regardless Of their
political faiths, who believe in fair
play, to be afforded the opportunity Of
branding the charge as vicious and
deliberate lie in its every respect"
