POPULATION FIGURES
 AT QUITE X VARIANCE
Waterbury Listed At 102,t3I Ky Health Dept. and 73,068 By
 Dept. of Education

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 24 (P--Tho state department of education says that the population of Waterbury as Of September last was 73,666.
 The state department Of health gives it's July i, 1925 estimate or Waterbury population as 102,134.
 Statistics Of the two departments are based on these estimates which vary nearly 29,000. The state motor vehicle department has accepted the education department figures in the compilation of its accident and other statistics.
 The federal census of 1920 showed .91,715 persons in Waterbury, 8 gain of 1854 over 1910.
 A discrepancy regarding Bridge port and Hartford is also shown in the figures from the two depart ments. The health authorities say that Bridgeport has 166,644 and Hartford 160.l99 while the educa- ton department finds that Hartford is slightly the larger, with 15S,559 as compared with l5S,350 given Bridgeport.
 The education department figures are arrived at by multiplying by S.231 the school enumeration Of a town. The health department fig ures are secured by applying the eN- pericnced rate of growth 10 the last census figures.

ENGLAND NOT TO ACT
 IN CATHCART MIDDLE
None of Her Affair, Cham berlain Says-New
 Hearing Refused

London, Feb. 24 LPl-The British government will consider no pro- posals to institute reprisals for the barring Of the Countess of Cathcart from the United States.
 This, in effect, was the reply of the foreign secretary, Sir Austen Chamberlain, 10 a spirited cross fire of questions in the house of com mons today regarding the working Of the American immigration laws.
 Sir Austen said the British govern- ment considered it entirely the busi- ness Of the American authorities as 10 who should or should not be ad- mitted to the United States.
 In reply to the question whether it Is the power of the British gov ernment to exclude persons from Great Britain on grounds of moral turpitude, the foreign secretary re- piled:
 "Yes, 1t Is In the power Of this country to exclude any alien if it wishes to do so. The particular of fense charged in this case (that of the Countess of Cathcart) is classed differently, as I undertand it. under American law from the way in which it is classcd here, After all l do not think that We can wisely un- lertake to dictate, even hy questions in this house, 10 the people of the United States how they shall ad- minister their own laws or what those laws shall be-"
