is los, ,683, ,108, says an Official
announcement by the census
bureau at 4 o'clock today.
WASHINGTON. Oct. THE bulk
of its work completed, the census bu-
reau at o'clock this afternoon will
announce the total number of inhabi-
tants in continental United States.
Indications are that the complete
census, the fourteenth in the country s
history, will show a total population
for the United States, exclusive of in
sular possessions, of approximately
los, 100000. Nearly 12,250,000 persons
are estimated to be living in island
possessions, making total of III, $780,
900 persons under the protection OF
the stars and stripes.
These estimates are based on re-
cent official announcement that the
census when S5 per cent complete
gave population of 90,586, 742 for that
proportion of the country.
Growth About IS Per Cent.
The relative growth of the nation
from 1900 to 1910 was 21 per cent,
but this rate is expected to be cut to
at least Is per cent this year, chiefly
census bureau officials say, through
stoppage of immigration during the
war and by the heavy emigration dur
ing that period.
One of the striking developments of
this years census was the relative
growth of cities and industrial cenuers
as compared with the farming regions.
Rural growth in the last ten years was
only one-third as great as it was in the
previous decade while the cities near
ly maintained their 1?0O-191O rate of
growth.
Took Forty Weeks.
The census bureau to date has spent
forty weeks in supervising the enum-
Grating and tabulation of the country s
millions. A similar period elapsed be-
fore the country's population was
made public in 1910. This year, how
ever, all minor civil divisions and in.
corporated places of each state will
have been made public with the an
nouncement of the United States total,
while in 1910 the census bureaus OBJ
jective was to arrive at the total as
soon as possible, leaving five states
and their county civil divisions to be
announced later. The work of the
thirteenth census did not begin until
April 5, and ended December 10, 1910.
On January l, this year, $4,000 emu
merators began counting the men, wo-
men and children of the country and
collecting certain information concern
ing the nations resources. Under the
direction of Sam l.. Rogers, chief of
the census bureau, enumerators col
lected data on farms, manufacturers,
forests and oil production and it is this
work which will occupy the attention
of the bureau from now on. A large
force of statisticians and clerks will
be retained to complete it,

MANY BELIEVED DEAD
IN BROOKLYN BLAST
(Pv Associated PreSs)

NEW YORK. Oct. Z - An oil tank
aboard the British steamer G. R.
Grove, tied up for repairs in Shewans
dry dock in Brooklyn, exploded early
this afternoon while approximately
100 men were working on the craft.
Nearly an hour after the explosion
the number of killed and injured was
not known definitely but a report
made to police headquarters had a
dozen killed and many injured.
Ambulances and Red Cross workers
were rushed to the scene from all
parts of the city.
An employe of the Dry Dock com
pany said he had seen at least six
bodies taken from the hold Of the
Grove.
When ladders were brought res.
cuers worked desperately. Firemen
in gas masks descended into the
smoke-filled hole. Bodies were hauled
up with ropes and the injured rushed
to hospitals.
An hour after the explosion four
bodies had been recovered. A hasty
check of workers showed four more
missing. The number of injured was
placed between 20 and so.

COAL PRICE FIXING
HAS LITTLE EFFECT
ON LOCAL SITUATION

The price of Indiana coal delivered
in Richmond to the consumer, with
the exception of Brazil block, Will
range from $6.65 to $3.50 a ton for
mine run, including freight charges.
under prices fixed by special fuel
and food commission, provided for by
the state legislature, which reported
Wednesday. The prices are to be eff
fective at once.
- The new ruling by the commission
makes a reduction in price ranging
from 80 to so per cent, Indiana coal
having been sold by local dealers at
from $S to IL per ton. Prices for
screening are 20 cents lower, and pre-
pared sizes 25 cents higher than mine
run.
Doubt Wisdom Of Move.
Local dealers say the ruling will
not greatly effect the present market
because it does not regulate the price
Of coal coming from outside the state.
Indiana mine operators will sell their
coal out of the state where higher
prices can be obtained, thus boycott
ing retailers in Indiana coal in this
state, three dealers stated.
If the commission can regulate SO
that the coal can not be sold out OF
the state. it is very likely that many
mines will close rather than operate
at loss, K. Smith, of the Richmond
Coal company, predicted. 1t was point,
ed out that the chief objection which
the operators made was their inability
to get cars for carrying, thus makne
their working week shorter, causing
higher operating expenses, and as a
result, higher coal.
Will Give Relief.
The commission is endeavoring 10
supply the car demand for the Indi
ana mines, it is reported, and C. Z
Jones, local dealer, states that this
will bring about a much better condi-
ton.
Indiana coal is not used as much as
other Goals in Richmond. Since the
commission ruling does not effect in
terstate coal, prices will not be greatly
lowered for other coal here.

K|WANIANS INFORMED
OF NATIONAL GUARD

Maj. L. H. Hartman, Of Indianapol-
is, spoke to the members Of the
Kiwanis Club at their luncheon in the
K. of P. temple Thursday, urging them
to help create successor to the old
state militia company. in the form of
a National Guard company.
He pointed out the ideal Of the new
guard regiments that are being
formed, which is to have the personnel
of the company made up of men who
wish really to get some good out of
the company and to make 1t a social
and educational feature in the COM
munity.
The technical and vocational
branches Of the guard work are made
very prominent" he said, "as is also
is to be directed towards athletics and
directors for this have been appointed
at the state headquarters"
The compensation is an important
feature to a community. In round
numbers about $4,000 is paid to an in
fantry outfit in year. The pay OF
the enlisted men runs from about 800
to $500 per year. The difference in
pay is due to the fact that some will
be non commissioned officers.
Major Hartman is one of a commfs
sion of ten appointed by Adj. Gen.
Harry B. Smith, TO assist in the for
nation of the companies in different
cities over the state. Several cities
have their companies organized and
| are being mustered in, Mr.. Hartman
stated.
| The Kiwanians received the majors
| talk with their Characteristic enthus-
| iasm and although no definite action
was taken. members were interested
| in the plan.
Several representatives OF the club
| will make the trip with City Engineer
Dell Davis Friday afternoon when he
acts as guide in drive showing places
of interest in and around Richmond.
A flying squadron will be appointed
to go to Winchester to help organize
a club there next week.
! Five. new members were taken in
! and several applications received to be
acted on by the board of directors.

Casey StenpeD.
BY NORMAN T. BROWN.

Manager Gavvy Cravatn and
President Baker of the Phillies, in !
laying plans for the 1920 campaign.
are figuring considerable on the re-
turn of Casey Stengel, classy out
fielder, to the ranks Of organized
ball and the Phillies.
Most fans will recall that STEM
gel was traded to the Phils last
season by the Pirates for George
Whitfield and refused point blank to
report to the Quaker City outfit.
Stengel beat it for his home in
Kansas City and organized a semi
pro team.
According to reports, he has had
several long conferences with Man.
ager Cravath on the Pacific coast,
where both have been this winter,
and the gardener has about made
up his mind to play for Cravath. If
he does he'll be a welcome addition
to the club and will play right field.
In addition to being good ball
player Stengel is comedian and a
valuable asset to team in keeping
up the clubs morale during
slump. He was born in Kansas
City in 1891 and the first profess
sional ball fans heard of him was
in 1910, W en- his home town A. A.
club gave him a trial. That club
| farmed him to kankakee in the
I Northern association that season
and when that league went ka-
flooie in mid July he was trans
ferred to Maysville in the Blue
Grass circuit. The next season
Kansas City feared he'd become
lost so recalled him and released
him under option to Aurora in the
Observation-Disclosures league. After
! the 1911 season he was drafted by
Brooklyn and Casey thought he
was all set. But Brooklyn released
him to Toronto and Toronto ship
ped him to Montgomery In the
middle of the 1912 season the Dodg-
ers recalled him and he starred
with the Superbas until traded to
Pittsburgh Jan. s, 1918, with Cut
shaw for Grimes, Mammaux and
Shortstop Ward.
