The World Metropolis.
(New York World.)

tNeW 1Ork WOIlu1
 The population of New York City as fixed, suh- ject to slight corrections by the l930 census IS D. 962 200 an increase of 1342152 since 1920 The State census gae New York increase of 253,308 in five years. The Federal census now gives apparent increase of 088 844 in the next five years. Since this is unthinkable we must conclude that the Knapp census of 1925 at least 250000 under the truth Nor the unimportant. For one thing 1t has compelled the official islander of New York Tn the computation of it's annual death rates. Its effect upon apportionng legislative districts would have been equally unfair to the city had a re- apportionment measure been enacted.
 The statistical increase of 1,342,152 shows 2 growth of 23 per cent. which is no doubt somewhat greater than the actual rate for two reasons First, the period elapsed is really ten years and there months instead of ten years, and, second, the enumeration just announced is believed to be more accurately complete than any previously taken. But it can be said with confidence that New York'c actual growth in the decade has been 20 per cent. or upward, which is fast enough for the subway planners and much greater than had been antic- pated
 The decennal attempt to compare New York and London to population will now be made. with the usual results of strife and dissension; the fact being that exact comparison is impossible New York City, with area of more than 300 square miles, is about 2,500000 more populous than London County is of IT square miles. And the 3765 square miles of New York's metro politan district is 100000 or so populous than outer ring London of 700 square miles. Our metropolitan district in four States is not an administrative unit; but neither is outer-rng Lon don. Because New York with it's suburbs is greater than London with its suburbs in population 1t may perhaps justly be termed the largest city in the world.

MILLIONAIRES RUNNING FOR OFFICE
 IN SOUTH.

Texas and Oklahoma have each an oil multi millionaire in the final primaries for high office. In Oklahoma Charles J. Wrightsman of Tulsa, many times millionaire, will compete with the blind former Senator Thomas P. Gore for the Democratic Senate nomination. Ross s. Sterling, who is said to have sold his interest in the Humble oil Company which he created, for $40000000 will be Ma" Fergusons competitor in the run-off primary for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Texas Two years ago w. H, Holmes, who was a druggist in Alaska but is oil millionaire of Amarillo. Texas, made fight for the Governor ship on the Republican ticket
 However, Sterling of Texas, at least has lot more than his millions to qualify him for high office. He is the publisher of one of the best newspapers in the South and he has been active leader for and better roads. Gov Dan Moody sometimes declared to be the best politician ir the Lone Star State appointed him State High way Commissioner. and he has made the office a very important
 It is safe to say that the campaigns for Wrghts man and Sterling will not lag for the lack O funds.

Ishmael and Automobiles.
(New York Times.)

At the beginning of the present year the num- Der of automobiles in the United States averaged for every AS persons, but in the Sultanate ot Oman, in Southwestern Arabia, it was 1 to every -50000 persons, while in the Sultanate of Yemen
 in the southeastern corner of Arabia, it 1 to every lO4OO0 Thus it would appear that, in re- spect to mechanical transportation, the nomad of the desert from ten thousand to twenty five thousand more sedentary than the settled popu lation of the industrial United States
 This somewhat paradoxical generalization could probably be borne out, in part at least by a de- tailed comparison between the number of miles covered by Arab herdsman in the course of year and by commuter from Stamford Plain field The wanderings of the Bedouin are really la slow stroll a very limited area Three hun. dred miles would be very generous estimate O. a tribes grazing range. Compare with this l500t to 200O0 miles of annual communication supplementec by half that amount of automobile mileage, whicl

POISON IS BLAMED
|NANDREWS' DEATH
Wealthy Engineer EIoped
With Princess When Stu
dent at Yale.

BY the Associated Press.
FAIR HAVEN, N. J., June IA
Poison, apparently taken by accident,
today was declared officially to have
caused the death of Donald Shields
Andrews wealthy chemical engineer,
who in 1915, when a student at Yale,
eloped with a princess.
His partner in the sensational elope-
ment. Mrs Alma " Hayne, also known
as the Princess Vetsera of Austria,
took her life by drinking poison at the
second victory ball in London in 1919.
Andrews was found dead Tuesday in
the 100000 laboratory he built on
the banks of the Shrewsbury River
and in which he recently spent much
time endeavoring to make precious
stones synthetically.
Glass Is Found by Body.
He had gone to the laboratory at
4 am, with John Ross, friend and
associate, and his body was discovered
by the latter upon his return to the
laboratory after a brief absence.
Chief of Police Herdon said that a
drinking glass partly filled with water
was on the floor beside the body A
container of poison was on the table
and in the waste basket was another
drinking glass that DR.. Harvey W..
Hartman, Monmouth County physician,
said contained possibly traces of poison.
DR.. Hartman issued a certificate OF
accidental death after an autopsy had
been performed which disclosed traces
of poison. Prosecutor Jonas Tumen
said that although the investigation
still was open, he was convinced death
was accidental He said Andrews had
no business or domestic troubles, but
recently had been under the care Of
O physician for a nervous trouble.
Father Was Hanna Associate.
He was the son of Matthew Andrews
Of Cleveland, a business associate of
Marcus A. Hanna. At the time Of his
elopement with Mrs. Hayne, he was
said to have eluded private detectives
employed by his family to prevent the
marriage. He and Mrs. Hayne, how
ever, were married in Mamaroneck, N.
Y, April "a, 1915.
She said she was the natural daugh-
ter of Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria
and the Baroness Marie VetSera who
were found dead together in hunt
ing lodge in 1889. Prior to her mar
rage with Andrews, she had feen Gil
vorced from a captain of the British
Flying Corps. After their marriage,
Andrews and his bride sailed for Eu-
rope, but he returned alone month
later and they later were divorced.
Andrews later married Hilah Reeder
and they lived on an estate at Rum
son, near here.

CUBS FURNISH
FIRE WORKS
Waco in Third, Winning
Majority of Night 8
Contests
BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr..
Associated Press Sports Writer


The distinction OF furnishing
most Of the paprika for the second
half OF the Texas league marathon
SO far has gone TO the Waco Cubs.
Well down the line throughout the
first half, the Prattmen have taken
on new life since the schedule was
divided, largely through the Sterl-
ing play Of a pair Of rookie in
fielders. Moleswroth and Piet. and
the steady clouting Of Gene Rye.
The dawn of the current week
found the Cubs in third place, only
three games behind the speeding
Spudders. For the next three nights
they encounter the Shreveport
Sports in the newly lighted Bieden-
harm park. and chances are they
will strengthen their position. Not
that the Cubs size up as a strong
er outfit than the Louisiana entry,
but the fact that they have won
eleven out Of twelve nocturnal starts
Is not to be overlooked.
Old Paul Wachtel made one OF
his periodical returns from the
baseball boneyard to give the Pratt
men a s 70 0 victory over Fort
Worth in yesterdays final. Always
a hot weather hurler. Paulio found
the sizzling day much 70 his liking
