Washington, June 1S.-Detroit. with
a numerical increase and rate Of
growth larger than Chicago's. and sec
ond only to New York's during the last
ten years. is now fourth largest city of
the country. displacing St.. Louis and
outranking Boston, Cleveland, BaIti-
more and Pittsburg, all of which were
larger than the Michigan city ten years
ago. Detroit's 1920 population. an
nounced today by the census bureau, is
ss,7S9, an increase OF 527,s73 or 1874
per cent.
Cleveland Ranks Fifth
Detroit is the only city of 100000
or more which has more than doubl-
ed its population in the last ten years.
Cleveland, also with large increase
has outstripped st. Louis and Bos-
ton and takes rank as fifth largest
city in the United States.
Its increase during the last ten
years has been exceeded only by New
York, Chicago, Detroit and Los Ange-
les.
With announcement Of the popula-
tions of Cleveland and Detroit, the
definite ranking of the country's
eighteen largest cities has been es-
tablished. New York and Chicago re-
main first and second largest cities,
respectively. Philadelphia is the only
one of the IS whose 1920 population
has not been announced but 1t is not
likely that the Pennsylvania city's
rank as third largest in the country
will be changed. Detroit had jumped
Into fourth placer and Cleveland into
fifth position, forcing St Louis into
sixth, Boston into seventh, Baltimore
into eighth and Pittsburg into ninth
places
Washington Advances
Los Angeles, with a large rate OF
growth, advanced from seventeenth
rank to tenth and displaced Buffalo
as well as attaining the honor Of be-
ing the largest city west OF st. Louis.
San Francisco retained eleventh rank
and Buffalo dropped from tenth 20
twelfth while Milwaukee was forced
into thirteenth place.
Washington, D. c., moved from six
teenth to fourteenth position, dis
placing Newark. N. j., which drop
ped into fifteenth position. cincinnn-
ii, thirteenth largest city in 1910, now
ranks as sixteenth,
New Orleans through the advance
of Los Angeles and Washington, was
forced from fifteenth rank to ssv-
enteenth position while Minneapolis
retained its rank as eighteenth larg-
est city.

Geo.W. Perkins
Financier,l Is
Called by Death

New York, June 18.-George W,
Perkins, financier. died this morning
in the Stamford hall sanitarium,
Stamford, Conn.
1t became known June Il that Nj.
Perkins had suffered nervous break
down, but members of his family did
not intimate at that time that his life
was in danger.
Mr.. Perkins was taken to Stamford
about ten days ago when his son
George w, Perkins. Jr., announced
the change was made to afford his
father a complete rest and seclusion
from his friends who sought his coun-
sells during the political campaign pre-
ceding the Chicago convention.
Influenza Cause
The affection TO which Mr.. Perkins
succumbed is believed to have been
the result of influenza and pneumo-
mia contracted while serving with the
Y, M. G. A. in France during the war.
A statement by the dead flnanciers
physicians given out at Mr. Perkins
office gave the time of his death as
2:15 this morning. Death resulted
from an attack of "aeute inflam,na-
0tion of the brain, the result Of COM
plete nervous exhaustion due to in
tense and continuous over work." the
announcement said.
Death Unexpected
The death Of Mr.. Perkins was prac~
tically unexpected; It was said at his
offices, on account Of his having re-
cent? ysurvived very serious heart
attack, after which his family and
friends believed his constitution suf
ficiently robust to throw off the
malady.
1t was said the funeral would take
place Sunday afternoon at the River
dale Presbyterian church in the
Bronx. The services will be private.
Distress over the loss of an old
friend was expressed by J. Pierpont
Morgan when ne was informed OF
Mr.. Perkins death. He said:
II am deeply distressed at the news
of Mr.. Perkins death He was friend
for more than twenty years and a
very active partner for ten years"
With Mr.. Perkins at the time OF his
death were his son, George w. Jr.,
his daughter, Mrs. Edward Freeman,
and his sister. Emily Perkins.

Salem Only City of Size
On Coast Not Protected
With Automatic Alarms

The Capital Journals contention
that Salem should have a simpler and
more efficient fire alarm system Is
right From what am able to learn
this is the only town Of its size on the
Pacific coast that hasn't an automatic
system"
That was the statement Friday
morning of Fire Chief Harry Hutton
OF the fire department. For ahont
$4,000, he believes. an adequate sv,.
tenn might be installed over the entire
business district, and following this
step half-dozen boxes might be in
stalled each year.
Urgent need for a new plan Oh "a.
porting fires was shown Thursday
when considerable delay was shown bv
firemen in getting to the $42. 900 blaze
which destroyed the Frank F. Richter
store on Court street, due to alleged
delay in getting call through the tele-
phone office.
The new system advocated by Chief
Hutton would place fire alarm boxes
at convenient points throughout the
city. Once an alarm is turned in from
these points its locality is Immediately
registered at the fire station and there
is said to be no chance for a mistake
To-day Salem stands alone as being
the largest city on the Pacific coast
that is still unprovided with proper
fire alarm system" reads a letter which
Chief Hutton recently received from
the former superintendent of fire
alarm telegraph at Portland, This in
eludes Oregon, California, Washington
Idaho, Nevada and Arizona
Chief Hutton's one doubt as to the
advisability of installing the new sys-
tenn results from his belief that Salem
should Immediately have a new pump
er" fire truck. This would cost the
city in the neighborhood of 100000
When placed in the residential dis
trict one fire box would cover lersi-
tory Of about three squares, Chief Hut
ton~said.
