NEW DISTRICT CENSUS
ORDERED BY CITY HEADS
Police Will Start Count In October;
Traffic Bureau Records
Show Need.

For the first time in six years the
Police Department will take q census
Of the population of Washington.
This was ordered by the Commits
sioners in board session yesterday and
will be started in October. The last
census was taken in 1919, after which
it was discontinued, due principally
to the shortage in the number of po-
hcemen following the war. In rec
ommending a new census to Com
missioner Fenning, Acting Supt. of
Police Evans stated:
AT present the records show that
there are about 100000 automobile
operators permits in force in
the District of Columbia; many
of these are nonresident, a great
many others have moved to other
Jurisdictions. and while the census
is being taken a check-up can be had
on all permits, and in this way the
records of the Traffic Bureau may be
relieved of inactive permits"
The last Federal census, taken in
1920, gave the District a population
of 437,J71. Unofficial estimates in
1924 placed the population of the city
at 48G,936.

WILLIAM MURPHY
TO CAPTAIN THE
FOOTBALL TEAM

Coincident with the opening of
school comes the thud of toe on
pigskin and cries of Fall on that
ball." tackle him low" indicating
that the pigskin classes are hard
at it. In other words preparations
for the 1925 football season are
under way.
The prospects for the coming
season at present writing are not
particularly bright. With no better
man back from last year, with the
brightest squad in years and with
a new coach needing time to install
his system, it is hard to predict
an overly successful season. How
ever, Coach Tweed is of an opti-
mistic frame of mind and ventures
the assertion that with the proper
attitude and support from the town
and the school, representative
eleven may be turned out In fact
he is credited with the statement
that barring injuries, only one
thing should threaten seriously the
winning of the championship of this
district. And that thing is the
lack of men. To date but fifteen
men have turned out, several of
whom are freshmen and very
light. To have a successful team,
it is very essential to have enough
men to form two skeleton teams
and preferably two full teams so
as to have real scrimmage. If this
condition can be remedied, pros
poets will brighten considerably.
For with but four practices under
their belts, the squad has shown
such an aptitude to learn and TO
fight aggressively that the coach
feels that with a few more such
men much can be done.
Captain Bill Murphy at end and
half, Brown at quarter, Scott and
Chase at tackles and Edwards at
center, are among the most promis-
ing on the squad at their respec-
tive positions. If the other posi-
tions can be filled as satisfactorily
Winslow rooters will be assured of
some real football.

INJUNCT
BEING ASKED
AGAINST THE
LA "

F. J. K. Mcbride, secretary of
the Arizona Corporation commits
sion, and Senator H. A Elliott, Of
Greenlee county, were called back
to the capital yesterday morning
from Winslow, after having spent
several days in Navajo county in
the interest of the Workman's COM
pensation law to be voted on at
the special election September 29.
An injunction had been asked in
the superior court of Maricopa
county against permitting the plac-
ing of the labor law on the special
election ballot, by title only. A
hearing was held on the application
for the injunction yesterday before
Judge Dudley w. Winds.
Before leaving Winslow, Mr.. Nc
Bride, who is the real author of
the bill, stated that he did not
think an injunction would be grant
ed inasmuch as all constitutional
amendments voted on in Arizona
since statehood was granted, had
been by title, and that if an in
junction were granted in this case
it would invalidate all the consti-
tutional amendments heretofore
made.
The application was made in the
name of a brick manufacturing
company of Phoenix, by Attorney
James Ray, a former candidate for
the office of judge of superior
court of Arizona.
Mr. Mcbride and Mr. Elliott have
visited many northern Arizona en-
ployers and employees, explaining
the proposed workman cOmpensa-
tion law.
This measure, which passed the
legislature almost unanimously and
has the support of the great ma
jority of employers throughout the
state, as we'll as practically all the
labor organizations, is up for rati
fication Of the people at the special
election called for September 20.
In the course of a swing around
the state, the gentlemen named
are placing before employers and
employees generally the many ad-
vantages of the proposed new law.
Arizona is the last industrial state
to be without workable cOmpen-
sation law, and the one proposed
embraces the most modern and pro-
gressive features of those enacted
throughout the United States. 1t
has the unqualified endorsement of
the American Federation of Labor,
and is apparently an instance of
employers and employees joining
forces for the betterment of rela-
tions between them and industrial
conditions in Arizona.

Paul and Rand, the IA and IL

morning by losing themselves from
Sunday afternoon until about noon
Monday in Canyon Diablo, 25 miles

out Sunday afternoon in a Ford
truck to gather load of wood.
No worry was felt by their par
ents until late in the night. Search
ing parties secured the Sunset
Pass, Chavez Pass roads and the
highway all night and morning.
They had driven off the highway
at Canyon Lodge, and later had
car trouble. They spent the night
in the truck and in the morning
made their way to the main road
and were returned to their parents
