When Mr. Hoosovelt first enmo to
Washington, Dr. Schick, pastor of tho
Gorman Reformed congregation, which
occupied a modest llttlo building hard
ly more than a chapel, wroto to him
and said that as there was no Dutch
Reformed church In Washington, he
would bo pleased If Mr. Hoosovelt
would worship with his llock.
Mr. Roosevelt was not then presi
dent of tho United States. Ho wrote
and said that ho would como to his
church, and nearly every Sunday
morning ho can bo found in his pow
taking part in tho sorvlco and listen
ing to Dr., Schick's sermons. Members
of the congregation say that President
Roosevelt has a liking for certain
hymns and that ho joins lustily In the
singing of them. There is no choir In
Dr. Schick's church, tho music being
rendered ontiroly by the congregation,
led by tho procontor.
It is thought that if Dr. Schick's at

send hlni an Invitation to become a

Estimated Cost of Taking New Census
BILL OF
EXPENSE
CENSUS
! 114.000. 000,
SN. D. NORTH, director of tho con-
bus, has written a letter to Sec
retary Strand, his dhmediato suporior,
sinking for nn appropriation of not
less than $14,000,000 with which to
take tho thirteenth .census, in .1910.
Tho cost of tho Inst census, in 1900,
oxcluslvo of the four nnniinl investiga
tions arid two biennial Reports duo tho
Hamo year, was $12,520,000. Tho di
rector estimates that tho cost ot tho
next census, duo to tho fact that- ho
now has a rogularly orgnulzod olllcp,
will bo only $110,000 moro than tho
consua of 1900.
. If tho work can ho accomplished
for this sum. II will bo tho first tlnio
iu tho history' of the nation that a
census has been taken and compiled
at practically V- snmo cost a th
prior enumeration. Formerly tho In
crease In tho cost of thq census from
decado to decado has boon nbout fit!
por cent., and on this basis tho cost
of tho thirteenth census proper, ex
clusive of tho four annual and tho two
biennial reports, would bo $18,750,000,
nearly $G,000,000 more than tho direc
tor ostlmatos tho actual coat will bo.
An Important means of bringing
about this saving Is tho .fact that tho
bureau, will build arid own tho neces
sary tabulating apparatus instead of
renting it as heretofore. On July 1,
1905, tho apparatus which had been
used In tabulating tho census of 1900
and which was owned and operated by
a prlvato company was withdrawn
from tho bureau of tho census ho-
causo tho company and tho director
could not agroo oin tho rontnl. Tho
withdrawal of tho machines compelled
tho director to ask congress for an
appropriation for oxporlmoutnl work
d dovoloplng now niochnnlsms to bo
owned, controlled, mid operated by
tho government. Tho results of this
experimental work have exceeded all
oxycctiUlona.

NEW NAVAL ASSISTANT

fl son-in-law of J. Piorpont Morgan, assistant secrc-
--mp fStf U tftry of tllc nnvy ja a member of the law firm
9? VH of Ward, Hayden & Satterlee of New York city.
Ot0. I Ho Is not Identified with any of tho enterprises
with which his fatlicr-in-law Is connected. He
is a director in the India Rubber mid Gutta Per
pha Insulating Company, but beyond that is not
Interested in any corporation.-
He was graduated from Columbia in 188",
and distinguished himself in the School of Po
litical Science, where ho received a degree. Ho
was admitted to tho bar in 1SS5, and entered tho
law ofllco of Evarts, Choato & Deanian. In the
following year he became secretary to Senator
Evarts. Ho was active in the organization of tho
naval militia, and when he became a colonel on
the slnrf of Gov. Morton he was appointed the navigating officer of the First
naval battalion.
Mr. Satterlee married Miss Louisa Piorpont Morgan November 15, 1900.
Tho wedding was tho most noted social event of the year. Tho alliance was
presumed to mark a closer business relationship between the brilliant young
lawyer and tho leader of tho financial world in America, but Mr. Satterlee
followed tho path ho had laid out for himself and depended on his own
capabilities for success; although this was questioned when, as a director of
the Trust Company of the Republic, ho was concerned with the plan to re
lievo tlmt corporation of its underwriting obligations with Louis Nixon's ship
building trust, which had been controlled by Mr. Morgan ever since Its or
ganization. Mr. Satterlce's most conspicuous placo as an organizer was taken when
he became one of a committee formed to reorganize the Knickerbocker Trust
Company. The committee became known as the Satterlee Committee and
was tho representative of (ho depositors. Mr. Satterlee devised the plan
opposing u permanent receivership and advocated resumption to avoid a sac
rifice of assets. The temporary receivers were discharged March 25 last and
the doors wore reopened the next day.
IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER
rrr " ' "" Daniel J. Kcefe of Detroit, the new commis-
I iiv sloner-general of immigration, holds one of tho
inuttL nu;ui unit lutujim umtua in mu r"i- lu
president and the most important of its kind in
the world.
Less than 25 years ago this same Daniel J.
Kcefe was a Chicago dock-walloper, using his
rugged strength to shove lumber. Recently tho
term dock-walloper has como Into reproach, for
it suggests now unsteadiness in habits. "Big
Dan" Keefe or O'Keefe, as he spelled his name
then was never that kind of a laborer. Ho
was always the best type of longshoreman and,
while tho massive strength of his squat frame
was being used to load and unload the vessels of
tho Chicago port, his busy brain, endowed with
some of tho same virile characteristics that
marked his physical self, was planning and scheming for the advancement of
himself and his co-laborers.
Strong,' almost ro"ugh and brutal in his methods, and with tho tenacity
of a bulldog, "Pig Dan" fought for the organization of tho longshoremen, and'
he not only won out, but, with the aid of others, formed an International or
ganization which, including other branches of vessel workers, became ono of
the biggest labor trusts on record and eventually forced a tight clamp on
maritime commerce.
Mr. Keefe lias been the president of the International Longshoremen,
Marine & Transport. Workers' association since its formation in 1892, and
ho lias been president of his local for 20 years. He has been holding office
for nearly 27 years. During that time ho has been one of tho principal forces
in perfecting tho organization of tho huge body. He was recently ono of the
Industrial pence commission of nine men of international reputation.

will agree that tho royal honor was well be
stowed. Sir Thomas has been one of tho most
prominent citizens of the United Kingdom for
his work in behalf of international arbitration,
not less than for his own legal and general learn
