WASHINGTON, d. c., July 49,

simultaneous kilograms directing the
operators of all bituminous mines

The advices to the mine operators

BALTIMORE. MD, July 49,
Charles Milon, friend of the murdered
Bella Leman. of Fairmont. w. Va.
brought here last night from Harris
burg, Pa, where he was arrested last

shed no light on the mystery. Milon
was held, however, until his state
ments could be corroborated.

found last Thursday morning at Cat
onsville, suburb.
A fresh start toward solution of the
murder mystery began today, with the
following persons sought:

FARM POPULATION
OF u. S. 29.9 PER CENT.

WASHINGTON. July 1S.-The farm
population OF the United States on
January l, 1920, was 31,614,269, or
2@9 per cent of the total population
OF the country, according to returns
OF the last census announced by the
Census Bureau. OF this number 81
350,64O were enumerated in rural ter
ritory and 255, ,629 on farms within
cities and other incorporated COM
munities having $500 or more inhabi-
tants.
The total farm population, which
for the first time was enumerated
separately from the rural population
as a whole and therefore has no COM
parative figure in the preceding CEN
sus, amounted to 81 per cent. of the
rural population which includes resi-
dents of incorporated cities and vii
lagos having fewer than $500 inhabi-
tants, unincorpOrated hamlets, min
ing regions and other areas not de-
voted to agriculture. Thus, while the
rural population constituted, it was
said. nearly one-half of the country's
total. only about three-tenths of it's
inhabitants were living on farms.
The proportion of the farm popula-
ton to the total in the various States
ranged from II per cent. in Missis-
sippi to 2.5 in Rhode Island.

J. B. Moore. the popular circulation
manager of The Evening Capital, and
also circulation representative of the
Baltimore Morning, Evening and Sun
day Sun in this city, will at last get
well-earned rest from the constant
stream of telephone calls and per-
sonal inquiries that seem TO make the
life OF even the most conscientious
and Woodworking circulation man not
exactly a thing of undiluted joy Mr.
Moore is going to California where he
hopes, for time at least, to be out of
reach of telephone queries from his
many enthusiastic patrons. Mr.. Moore
will leave Annapolis tomorrow for
Berkeley, Cal, where he will visit his
brother, w. H. Moore, for about
month. He will make the trip via the
Northern route, stopping at Pitts
burg. Chicago and other interesting
cities. The return trip he will make
on the Southern Pacific line, thus get
ting much variety out of his railroad
journeys.
A month beneath California's sunny
skies should certainly do much for
even the harassed nerves of a news
paper man and we are sure that all
OF Mr.. Moore's customers will join the
Capital force in the wish that he may
get all that it is possible for any NOR
tai TO get out Of his well-earned va
