CENSUS BUREAU
To DROP 100

Monday marks the final service
limit for perhaps 5000 temporary
employees of the Census Bureau,
and the definite departure Of
from 100 more workers.
The Census Bureau has been
dismissing these temporary en-
ployes a few at time over a
period of months. There were
6,700 employees in the spring.
Permanent employees remaining
have the feeling that the building
is being emptied rapidly. The
staggered system is used to create
as little hardship as possible,
and to give the dismissed EN-,
ployes better chance to find
other work.
Many of the temporary en-
ployes have secured one and
sometimes two extensions on pre-.
senting good reasons therefor
But the first of September will
usher in the final stages of the
decennial readjustment of the
Census Bureau to its permanent
small-staffed status.
Only about 1000 regular perma.
nent employees will be retained to
handle commercial and other
surveys, care for the files and
serve as a nucleus for the next
population census of 1910.

PICK M'LARNEN
TO TURN TABLES
UPON PETROLLE

NEW YORK. May %. U.p)-With
two parks available for outdoor box
ing shows and not a single attract
i've match in sight, Madison Square
Garden officials are hoping that
Wednesdays return bout between
Jimmy McLarnin and Billy Petrolle
will produce a winner worthy of
receiving a championship chance in
the opening show of the 1881 sum-
mer program.
The Petrolle- e-McLarnin match will
close the indoor season at the gar
den-a season which was none toe
profitable--and unless one of the
participant scores q decisive vic
tory the gardens expensive option
for the exclusive use OF the polo
grounds and Yankee stadium may
prove a white elephant.
From q business standpoint a
McLarnin victory would be best for
the garden and Jimmy already has
been established as an to favor
lite to defeat Petrolle, who in a prev
ious meeting gave the coast fighter
the worst drubbing Of his career.
Unless McLarnin can defeat Pc
trolle, and do it impressiVely, he
will lose prestige as a Welterweight
title contender and cannot be used
in the proposed title bout against
Jack Thompson, with which the
garden hopes to open the outdoor
season next month. McLarnin is a
great drawing card in New York,
and probably the only fighter avail
able for q money-making bout with
Thompson.
