CENSUS RECORDS

Greater Safety From Fire
Sought in Removal From
Commerce Building.

Priceless census records dating
back to 1871, when the United States
was composed Of only thirteen states,
will be moved, beginning today, from
the basement of the Commerce build
ing. at 18th street and Pennsylvania
avenue, to the Census building. at 9Th
street and Missouri avenue. Although
the records are being removed from
building which Is said to be thor
oughly fireproof to one which is not
fireproof, William NJ. Stewart. direc-
tor of the census, said today he be-
lieved the removal would put them
in a place of greater safety.
Automatic Sprinklers.
Mr. Stewart said the records will
be. stored on the first floor Of the
building, which is furnished with
automatic water sprinklers. although
it is not fireproof. Constant guard
will be maintained about the room
in wing 8, where the records Will be
stored Steel shelves are being erect

have caused several members of Con-
gress and at least one senator to re-

called upon one member of Congress
to explain to him that moving of the

at gath and B streets. lacking space
in government buildings for perma-
nent storage. At the time Of the fire
government officials estimated that
s2.000.000 would be required to re-
store the destroyed or partially de-
stroyed records.
RECORDS uatln6 DdcK TO tne urSt
census, in 1871. were not harmed. ex-
cept by smoke and their edges
wrinkled by water.
In their new location the records
will be watched during the day by
the census bureau personnel. and at
, night will be guarded by the War
Department guards. who patrol the
temporary war buildings in which the
lHenSuS bureau is located.
A great advantage in removing the
records from the Commerce Depart
ment, Mr.. Steuart declared. is that
statisticians and historians Of the
census bureau can have constant ac-
cess to the old files located within
the census building. At present only
very small part of the census bu-
rau force is located in the Commerce
building. and a trip from the 9th

I. c. c. Decides Outside Repairs
by Seabcard Line Justified,

The Seaboard Air Line Railway
Company was held by the Interstate
Commerce Commission today to have
to be repaired in private shops in
1920. Even though the average cost
of each repair job in the hands of the
contractors was $14.913, while the
railroad cost for similar work in its
own shops would have been $7.156.
the commission found that the rail-
road shops during 1920 were unable
to handle all of the work, and the
overflow had to be taken care of in
order to maintain transportation. The
decision came In an investigation in
stituted upon complaint of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor railway de-
partment. The commission has pre-
viously criticized other railroads for
similar policies. ~

Put cider on parity with beer, is in

atiVe John Philip Hill OF MARYLAND. who
introduced a bill yesterday. proposing
to amend the volstead act to rerula te
the alcoholic content Of apple Juice.
Charging that the Volstead act de
hoerately omits cider" Mr.. Hill de-
Eiared IN statement that he sought to
limit the kick of cider to one-haH Of /
per cent. the same as beer, because of
the refusal of the prohibition bureau
to fix specific alcoholic limit on non
intoxicating cider and fruit juices
Replying to Mr.. Hills request that
the bureau do so, Prohibition Commis-
sioner Haynes wrote that his Office did
not deem it expedient to fix such a
Limitation, in view Of the fact that Con-
gress had not done SO and the courts
az yet have not definitely settled the
