Washington, April (Pt-An army of 12O,0OO census cnumcrators en- tered cnergetically today upon the gigantic task of counting the Amer ican population. They embarked upon what is intended to be the most complete tabulation of the American people and their econo- mic condition ever accomplished.
 Each worker carried a big port folio containing dozens of copies of the long questionnaire that is being put to everyone in the country.
 The questions asked are intended to produce a valuable store of sta tistlcal information including not only the extent of population but the extent of unemployment, illit- eracy, and home ownership. There are questions, too, which are ex- pected to produce important data on the American farm problem,

Washington, April Pl-Specula- Hoover and Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York on power was heard today before the senate lobby committee, the opinion being advanced that the president would veto a bill calling for government operation of Muscle Shoals and that the New York governor might be urged as a democratic candidate for president on a platform calling for government ownership of power.
 A memorandum prepared by J. w. Warrington, secretary of the Tennessee River Improvement asso- citation, was placed in the record which predicted that the chief ex- ecutive would veto a bill calling for operation by the government of the power project in Alabama.
 Waldo Takes Stand
 w. G. Waldo, engineer of the Tennessee River association, was on the stand today. He testified he used the memorandum in speeches in the south. Governor Roosevelts s name was brought into the hearing by a telegram that Waldo sent to Worthington last September.
 It described Josephus Daniels, Raleigh, N. C., publisher, as favor ing government ownership of the Muscle Shoals.
 Making progress here but not with ex-secretary," the telegram said.
 He is irrevocably committed to Norris policy and may advocate Roosevelt for next democratic can- didate for president on govern ment ownership and operation of power platform
 The Tennessee River Improvement association has advocated acceptance of the bid of the American Cyana- mid company for Muscle Shoals and has opposed proposals for govern ment operation. Senator Norris of Nebraska has urged government operation.
 Says Illness Faxed
 Warrington, who is in a Detroit hospital, has been accused by Chair man Caraway of the committee of feigning illness in an effort to es- cape questioning by the committee about his organizations Muscle Shoals activities.
 The committee after questioning Waldo briefly adjourned until Fri day when John J. Raskob chairman

 Night on Seas Surface
WELCOMED BY HAMILTON
Ilier and Two Companions Land On Placid water to Avoid Overflying Mark - Takes Air Again This Morning.

Hamilton, Bermuda, April lP- The American monoplane "Pilot" vhich left New York yesterday for the Bcrmudas. reached Hamilton safely shortly before 10 o'clock this morning after having spent the night a sea Scant 60 miles from her goal.
 The plane completed the journey under her own power. She flew to q point off St. Georges earlier in the morning, landed there and then came from St. Georges to Hamilton. She was accompanied down the north shore for time by a motor launch, which brought out gasoline.
 Although it was first believed she had been lowed for a short distance by the launch, it was later learned that she simply had anchored to it, for time.
 Soon after reaching the dockyard, Captain Yancey took her on a tri- umphant flight over the city of Hamilton.
 The ship, for the first time in the history of ocean flying, had des- cended at sea, spent the night there and then was able to continue her voyage under her own power.
 DescendS at Darkness
 The monoplane, which was equipped with pontoons, was forced to descend on the sea because of darkness last night. She had been in the air eight hours. This morn ing the sturdy craft appeared off North Rock. about miles from St. Georges and anchored there.
 She remained there an hour or more, preparing for the final stage of her 7o0 miles pcrilous flight from New York and then was seen flying toward Hamilton harbor. She was

D e ocrat Warns Against Election of Opponent, Citing His Record on Municipal Ice House and Potato Venture.
Republican Suffering From Hoarseness, Says Don't Believe All the Things McDonough Is Trying to Tell You" in Rally at Stanley Works.

Waving a warning finger at a gathering of Landers, Frary &o Clark workers this noon. Attorney P. F. McDonough, democratic candidate for mayor cautioned: Don't let Quigley's crowd get control of that water board. Don't let them get at the sewer contracts. Quigley plung- cd us into the ice business and he plunged us into the potato business. What will be plunge us into next, If you elect him next Tuesday,"
 Repeating his promise to say nothing about Quigley personally, but promising to unmask his record as a public official, Attorney Me Donough said: This talk of talk ing through the hat doesn't solve your problems. What you should demand is the records"
 Continuing, he traced the muni- clpal ice project step by step to prove his claim that Quigley had plunged the city into the ice busi- ness. On this subject, he said:
 Traces City Ice Venture
 When l spoke to a gathering of workers at the Corbin plant yester- day, l said: 'Quigley plunged us in- 10 the ice business with an ice house at Shuttle Meadow dam that finally fell to pieces and proved to De money wasted Mir. Quigley took to ,I, night in his speech. Let me pro- duce the record.
 Let me read from Qugley's message 10 the common council on May 15, 1914: The municipal ice committee is now working upon the problem of ice distribution, a prob- lem ill which all citizens are inter cSted. The city's entrance into the lee business was a protest against greed and while the venture may not be as profitable as anticipated the object will have been attained, cheaper ice for the people,
 'On December 1G, 1914 the comptroller reported to the com- mon council that it was bad busi- ness for the council to endeavor to conduct a :nerchantle business, through a committee. At the same meeting, the ice committee submit ted a report in which it recom- mended that the board of water commissioners harvest the ice.
 The board of water commits sioners took up the work of har- ytsting tho ice and on February 10, 1915, they reported to the common council that the engine broke down and other troubles which caused delay, and also. that the funds ap- propriated were exhausted. The common council voted to appro- priate $400 to continue to harvest the ice.
 On August IS, 1915, Mayor Quig- Icy in a special message to the council said: Tn spite of all the trouble and expense the city has been put to, l do not believe the municipal ice project should be abandoned. I am confident that if the ice house is placed in condition
