LOCAL POPULATION
MAY Be ''SHOnT0

Unless some check is made on the
census taken of Richmond and Madi-
son county, many believe that both
the town and county will show up
with an "official" population, far less
than what the real figures should be.
So far four names have been report
ed to the Daily Register, that were
not taken by the census enumerators.
The latest are Messrs. Tom and Will
Moberly, and A. r. Burnam, right in
the heart of Richmond. None of the
three was listed, each says, and un-
less supplemental reports are sent in
by the enumerators, they will not
figure in the official report of Rich
monds population. 1t has been hop
ed by many that Richmond's popula-
tion will run over the 5000 mark this
census. 1t is officially given as 5,34O
in the 1920 census. Everybody is sure
that there are more than 5000 people
in Richmond and the only question
will be whether they all have been
reported in the census returns or not.

EDITOR Tells OF
II KAISER'S ROUTINE
(By Associated Pr,s,)

Berlin, Feb. 12.-The former Ger
man Emperor William while at the
German headquarters in Charleville.
France, in the world war, surrounded
himself with an army of lackeys,
changed his uniform several times
day and had a strong objection to
any but silk socks, according to
description of his conduct there by the
editor of the Charleville journal. The
editor, M. Domelier, has just publish
ed an account of the former Emperor,s
conduct at Charleville. He says:
Everything he wore was intended
to attain the greatest effect Accord
ing to the example of Napoleon he
slept in a simple field bed, which, did
net stand under tent but in Won
derful villa which had every i'm
aginable projection against airplanes.
'His fear of f1iers was so great that
he constantly changed his sleeping
place and created regular steel safe
in which to sleep. In April, 1915 five
bombs fell in the neighborhood of the
imperial villa, and at another time the
court train was attacked, the Kaiser's
chief engineer, d cook and several
court officials were killed. In the gar
den of the Kaiser's villa there was an
electrically-lighted dugout with a
conacitv of SO mon
unlike his sons, the Kaiser's meals
were simple. His lunch consisted of
some roast or cold meat, and a desert.
Only on his birthday was there bet
ter meal, such as cavier and pate de
fois gras, roast, rice, fruits. emelette,
and choice wine. He usually drank
beer or light Moselle wine.
"By tearing down some of the walls
in the villa, the Kaiser had a won
! derful bathroom constructed. Three
of the big trees in the nighborhood he
chopped down himself and distributed
the wood to the poor families of
Charleville The inhabitants showed
no appreciation for his kindness. They
asserted that he was trying to gain
their sympathies without paying a
a pennig. The women expelled from
Lille for compulsory work he permit
ted to do agricultural work"

RAIL WAY PROBLEM
AGAIN UP TO WILSON
Question of Increased Pay For
Employees Threatens Serious
Situation
tBy Associated Press,

Washington, Feb. 12-Bulle-
ti1l-President Wilson will have
"a personal conference tomorrow
with three representatives of the
railroad brotherhoods to discuss
the wage demands of two million
railroad employees, which are to
be referred to him by Director
General Hines. Hines in a memo
randum to the President is un-
derstood to have asked him to
finally decide the demands pre-
sented by the railroad workers
nearly week ago.
The memorandum is also un-
derstood to embody the claims
and arguments of union officials,
and to have presented grave
problems. White House officials
expressed concern at their gravi-
ty without disclosing the issues
involved. Meanwhile President
Lee of the Brotherhood of rail
road trainmen, contends his Or
ganization has a right to discuss
the grievances as the trainmen
have given notice that their con-
tract with the Railroad Admins
tration will be determined Feb
ruary 23d.

BraVed For Farnum Picture.
a real gold mine was used by
William Farnum in making several
scenes for his newest William Fox
production, wings of the Morning"
which will be seen on tomorrow at
the Isis theater.
This mine was hidden in ore Of the
coves at Santa Catalina Island. and
could be found only with the aid of a
map in the possession of the company
now owning the entire island.
In making the scenes under Director
j. Gordon Edwards, Mr.. Farnum had
to enter the mouth of the mine, which
was tunneled at the base of a noun
tain, and travel more than five hun
dred feet. Before entering it the star
had been warned that the timbers
supporting the tunnel We're rotted and
weak, and that a cavern was among
the possibilities.
Mr.. Farnum, however, insisted that
the work proceed until finished Every
one heaved a sigh of relief when the
last scene was shot and the marty
emerged from the mine
