INFORMATION THAT IS WANTED Preliminary Suggestion! Relative to Questions to Be Aske ALL STATEMENTS CONI. L Cannot Be Used as Basis of Tu or for Other Purpose. GREAT GROWTH OF BTTSINES. It la Kmpeeted that Wext Census Will Show that Nearly 91 Million Farm Are Being- Operated In United State. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-It will be sug- rested by United State Census Director Durand to the farmers all over the coun ' try that the work of securing accurate re turn at the coming census of agriculture will be greatly facilitated If the farmers will keep or provide some sort of written record of their farm operations during the ' year 1909. This effort to secure the farm ' era" personal co-operation Is but one of a number of ways and meana chosen by I Director Durand In the effort to secure an ' accurate, expeditious arid economical cen : sua concerning population, agriculture, ! manufactures, mines and quarries, which are the subjects of inquiry defined In the census law. Notwithstanding th valne of the popu lation returns for the political purpose of reapportioning representation In the con gress of the United States and of the statistical Information derived from an analysis of the population details, the cen- , bus of agrloulture, of all the subjects In the census law, Is regarded as of the great est Importance. The twelfth census reported a total fixed capital of $5,04,9S9.61 Invested In manufac ! tures. The correnpondlng total for agricul ture was (20,614.001,838, or mora than four times that of manufactures. A mora con servative estimate, based upon a different standard of comparisons, also used by the census bureau, places the Investment in ', agriculture as more than twice that of manufactures. ( Nearly Bis Million Farms. In 1900 the census found 5,739,667 farms, an Increase of 1.175,016 over th total for 1890. The 1S50 figures were 566,714 higher than the number of farms counted in the 1880 cen sus. Taking the increase between 1890 and 1900, and adding that number to the total reported for 1900, an estimated or approxi mate number of farms existing at the time of the thirteenth census may be ascer tained; ,the process of calculation being that caYled'WlthirietTcel progression," the method chosen by a majority of statisti cians and also used by the census bureau. Therefore the 1910 total should reach E.914,673, or roughly, about e.000,000 farms. which la the number estimated by Chief Statistician Powers. There were 10,433,188 males and females over 10 years of age June 1, 1900, engaged In agricultural pur suits. Prof. Powers believes the 1910 cen sus will swell that number to the extent of several millions. The magnitude of these figures makes It evident that the Importance of the agri cultural census hardly can be over estimated. Hence the solicitude of Census Director Durand and Chief Statistician Powers, In charge of the census division of agriculture. 1 Director Durand believes that great good will be accomplished by getting Into direct contact and co-operation with the farmers. Some of the Instrumentalities which will bo used by him and which promise prac tlcal results are, the state commissioners and state boards of Agriculture, the state agricultural colleges, the agricultural ex periment Btatlons, the Farmers' institutes, the Farmers' unions, the patrons of hus bandry and the state granges; In fact, all the existing organizations for the educa tlon and betterment of the farmers. Added to these will be the dally newspapers, the country press and the farmers' publica tions. It is estimated that millions of farmers will be reached at their homes or at their mutual Improvement meetings by th con templated method of circulating prepara tory information. Work on Farm Schedule. Farm economists and scientists learned In agricultural problems, appointed aa ex pert special agents for a brief term, are Bow In Washington assisting Director Durand and his staff In the formulation of ' the agricultural schedule so tbat th ques tions to be asked by the enumerators shall be easily comprehended and so draw out the Information ordered by congress to be ascertained. At the same time these practical steps are being taken by the census bureau, the farmers themselves will be called upon to , help push the statistical plow over the country-wide field of farm data. They will be reminded that an accurate and practical census Is the only on worth while. In addition to th direct appeal- to the farmers. Census Director Durand will In form them that the thirteenth United census law requires that the agricultural census be taken at the same time, April 15. UU0, as th count of population. Th questions about farm operations will re lute to tt present calendar year, 190B. but. on the other hand, th Inquiries regarding farm equipment are directed toward the farmers' possession of this kind on the day and date of th enumeration, April 16, 110. The latter dlvialou of th inquiry really amounts to an Inventory. The necessity for some written or perma nent record by the farmers themselves of farm operations la obvious and Its value ' In furnishing data more reliable than guesswork Is equally evident.

Atlantic City Continues to Run Wide Open Arrest of Mayor Stoy Saturday Has No Effect on Policy of City Officials. ATLANTIC CIT.Y, N. J., Sept. 6-Atlan-tic City was as ' wide open" today as on any former Sunday of the season. The de cision' to allow the saloons to open was reached by the political and official heads of th resort at midnight Saturday, when the action of the reformers in causing the arrest of Mayor Stoy for failure to obey the order of Attorney General Wilson, had re noved the alternative of saving the head the city government by closing the - -on today. ' ' Blrney Hudson, leader of the mlnls--eformers, declared tonight that the of Mayor Stoy to close up the city ay will result In further action against him. Special detectives made a circuit of city saloons and more warrants will be Issued on their testimony for additional arrests.

Responding to a call for aid at the house of a neighbor, where a negro 'burglar had forced an en trance to the place. Dr. Robert D. Maddox, a prominent physician, shot and Instantly killed the negro early today. The burglar, who waa later Identified as John Scott, a former convict, who served three years In the Frankfort (Ky.) penitentiary, broke Into the residence of Mrs. Florence O. Barnes of Yale avenue. Walnut Hills. Mrs. Wllkle Woodard of Syracuse, N. Y.. a visitor at the Harnes home, awoke and discovered the presence of the Intruder in her room. When he moved Into another room she immediately turned In a call for the police and managed to notify Dr. Mad dox, living in another house. The latter, half clad, appeared on the scene aa the burglar attempted to escape from the house. Seeing the physician confronting him, the burglar was preparing to giv battle, when Dr. Maddox, who carried a revolver, fired three bullets Into the negro's body, killing htm Instantly. An open knife waa found clutched In the fingers of the dead man. Dr. Maddox was not arrested. THIEVES PREY ON PASTOR, SECURING FAIR-SIZED ROLL Rev. Gaas Flelshnat n's Home Entered and flttO la M-dey and Valuable Jewelry Taken. Burglars entered the home of Rev. Esau Fleishman, 1919 Burt street, Saturday night and made way with $196 In money and con siderable valuable jewelry. The latter was recovered by Detectives Ferris and Walker, who found it In the back yard. No arrests have been mad In the case and the of ficers have only a slight clue to th iden tity of the thieves. 1 Entrance to the house was gained through a rear window, after which the burglar, or burglars, evidently rifled the clothing of the sleeping occupants of the house. Not finding much of value, a bunch of keys in the pocket of Rev. Mr. Flelschman's trous ers was tried in an effort to open the fam ily safe In the same room. The aafe was opened and a polished wooden box, containing (180 In cash, fifty small loose pearls, some gold Jewelry and a diamond pin, was taken into th back yard and broken open. The money waa taken and the demolished box, still con taining the other valuables, was found Sun day morning. The thieves evidently did not wish to run the risk of being caught with any recognisable property in their pos session and contented themselves with the fat roll. The other 115 came from the pocket of a person rooming on th upper floor of the house. END OF BIG SWEDISH STRIKE Vie Consul atrnbera; Ileoelvee Offi cial Notice of Resumption of Work In Factories.

LABOR PARADE IN NEW YORK It is Estimated that Forty-Five Thou sand Men Will Be in Line. MITCHELL DISCUSSES OUTLOOK More Men Are Employed Today Than at Any Time In Last Twenty Two Months Strike nt Pittsburg-. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. With no strike of consequence except that of the hattera In progress In Greater New York the Labor Day parade tomorrow will find more marchers In line and more of them with Jobs than last year. Approximately 45.000 workmen, with twenty bands, representing fifty-nine unions, will parade from Central park down Fifth avenue to Washington square. In the afternoon there' will be gamer, atrletlo events and speeches all over the city. John Mitchell, second trice president of. the American Federation of Labor, to day contrasted present conditions with those of a year ago. - "'From personal oUeei-vatton and .general Information," he mid, "It Is evident to mo that more men are employed today and that more are being employed than at any time during the last twenty-two months. "Last December the estimate made by the American Federation of the number of organised workmen of the United States at that time unemployed put the figure at 1.000,000 or about 32 per cent of the whole. The latent figures available for the state of New York Indicates that the unemployed has been reduced to nearly one-half In this state, and I think from previous experience the condition in the state of New York can be taken as a fair indication of the condi tion throughout the state." Colonel M. J. Deagan, Industrial mediator of the New York state labor department. said: "The attitude which both employers and workmen' aro taking toward each other is becoming much more reasonable. They have learned that strikes and lockouts do not pay. It Is much better for both to go on with the work while the point In dispute Is being settled by conference. At the present moment there are .few dis putes pending and the industrial horizon is clear." Many pastors in the city touched upon the labor question during their sermons today. Advice from Dnncan. James Duncan, first vice president of the American Federation of Labor, Issued the following Labor day appeal here to day to the worklngmen of the entire coun try: 'Where parades are In evidence march with heads erect, proud of your calling and your cause,' and bear yourself through out with the noble dignity becoming the union freemen. ' "Let your addresses In the halls and on the hustings be respectful of the law and institutions of our country, for by so doing you will symbolize the true union man who, while he may desire changes of acta which he believes are oppressive, knows he Is a cttlsen of a republic and will go about the necessary change In a deliber ate manner becoming to true citizenship. 'Use no apologetic tone, for you are right In your purpose; apologies are out of order except for wrongdoing. Add cheer fulness to the sentences composing the Labor day addresses; It Is not a funeral procession that Is being addressed. Be hopeful in the general tone of your re marks, which will be befit the occasion. (Continued on Second Page.) Many a woman makes herspending money by using Bee Want Ads. Are of th you one em.''

COOK DINES W1TIIT1IE KING Honor Which Has Never Before Been Extended to a Private Individual. DENMARK BELIEVES IN STORY Discoverer's Account is Accepted by Geographers and Explorers. TAFT'S MESSAGE ARRIVES Finder of Pole Much Pleased with President's Greeting. GOES TO BRUSSELS AND PARIS After Delivering; I.retnrea In These Cities, Dr. took Will Return to Copenhuaen and Rail for ew York. COPENHAGEN. Sept. 5. Dr. Frederick Cook dined this evening with King Freder ick at the summer palace, a few miles out side of Copenhagen. The king summoned Dr. Cook to an audience yesierday aa a formal courteoy. They engaged In an hour's talk, and while these royal audiences can not, according to etiquette, be minutely de scribed by the members of the court. Dr. Cook made such an impression on the king that his majesty immediately Instructed the court chamberlain to summon the explorer to dine with him tonight. The king Invited Dr. Cook to meet him yesterday after making the closest possible Investigation into his story. All the Danish explorer were asked to give their opinion of Dr. Cook's claims before the audience waa granted and their verdict was unanimously In his favor. The dinner tonight was entirely the re sult of the king's personal opinion regard ing the explorer, who had the seat on the king's right, an honor which Danes cannot remember having been accorded another private person, and members of the royal family listened to his every word as he recounted the dangers and privations of his polar Journey, Taft's Message Arrives, Dr. Cook was Immensely pleased today by receipt of a telegram from President Taft, in which the president of the United States extended his hearty congratulations on the announcement that Dr. Cook had reached the pole. He had to undergo a veritable ordeal again today, being bom barded on every side with questions in tended to test the accuracy of his affirma tions. Although after midnight when he reached his hotel at the end of the first day' try ing experiences, he sat up for two hour engaged in correspondence and In conversa tion with Commodore Huvgaard and Prof. Olufsen, secretary of the Geographical so ciety. The explorer was again about before 7 o'clock this morning, reading translation of th comments In the Danish newspaper. Later he received Commodore Bverdrup and Count Haraid Moltke, a member of the Mylius Eflchsen expedition. Who prob ably will Illustrate Dr. Cook's book. Scientist Asks Questions. One of the most exacting periods of the day was an Interview with Prof. Stromberg, the leading, Scandinavian astronomer, whj says that when he is permitted to examine Dr. Cook's observations he can decide within half a day whether th explorer has been at the pole. Several other expert . Arctic explorers were closeted today with Dr. Cook. When they came out they ap peared thoroughly convinced of his abso lute good faith. A luncheon at the American legation af forded further opportunity to nonexpert persons to strengthen their already firm belief In the explorer's narrative. Then Dr. Cook disappeared from publlo view for an hour, during which time h Submitted to the camera at a pliotographla studio. Hoyal Faintly at Dinner. The dinner at the royal castle at Char lottenlund was the scene of the greatest Lthu&laam. The king and every member of the royal family, even the smallest children, assembled. Dr. Maurice F. Egao. the American minister, Rev, Dr. Daae of Chicago and several other guest completed the party. The dinner passed off quietly. as Is customary on Sunday In th royal household, but after the dinner thera waa a regular rush around Dr. Cook, who started a succinct recital of hla adventures. His graphic depiction gained from th calmness and candor of the speaker. On after another of the royal personage piled him with questions and marked their Intelli gent appreciation of the condition In Aro tlc sea and than waited eagerly while th explorer answered, always without heslta tlon. The younger members of th family seemed literally to hang on hla word. Prince Waldemar, brother of th king, who la a scientific sailor, waa extremely inter ested in the current about th pole and the condition of the toe. Prlnc and Princess Oeorge of Greece also mad perti nent Inquiries. The king and Queen and verybody were o greatly Interested in the pole' discovery that they remained In the drawing room much later than la their custom. Dr. Cook retired with Minister Egan and was the center of a congratula tory group. It was easy to b n that th royal family had Implicit faith in hint. Brussels and Part. When he returned to hla room at the hotel Dr. Cook took up the correspondence on which he had been engaged, writing until a late hour. It has been decided that after his visit to Brussels h will deliver a lecture at Parts. He will then return to Copenhagen and sail from her for New York. On of th most interesting feature of Dr. Cook's present position la that h is about the only Intelligent man In th World now who does not realize how conaplcuou and talked about Dr. Cook is today. Minis ter Egan has shielded him a carefully a possible. While he 1 theoretically living as the government' guest at a hotel, ha Is practically living at the legation, so that he may be kept away from the preeaur of the crowds which ar still surrounding the hotel. Dr. Cook thinks that he may be able to yet back to Nrw York quietly, so that he may revise his scientific record before he glvea them to the world. Explorer Asks Questions. At luncheon at the American embassy today the explorer escaped for a few minutes from the absorbing topic of th Arctic and asked questions, which appeared amusing, about what was going on. What was Taft'a majority T and similar ques tion, war asked. When given some de tails of Lieutenant Ebacklelon' expedition ato th south pel he was hungry (or rr 1
