later statistics probably will show that
more than 45 per cent of the the population
of the country Is urban, that is In towns
of 2,500 Inhabitants, or more.
The population living in cities of S.,000
or mors inhabitants has Increased much
more rapidly than that In the rest oi the
country. The population of cuch cities lit
1910 was 28,608.007, as compared with 21,Oi'8,
188 for the same cities In 1S00. the Increase
being 7,4at,81H, or Si t per cent.
In the north the proportion of the total
population living In cities of 25,000 Inhab
itants was 40. per cent. In the south It
ta 12 8 per cent; In the west. 31.5 per cent.
The population in the rest of the country,
Including smaller cities and rural districts,
IM luio. was M,4W,2tt, as compared with
64,916,3S0 In 1900, the increase being 8,547,873,
or only about 1.0UO,00 more than the In
crease of the cttles alone.
The per cent of Increase was 15.6 per cent,
of less than half the rate shown by cities
of 25,000 Inhabitants. ,
He finds that "while there has probably
been a somewhat greater difference be
tween the growth ot urban population and
of rural population In the last decade,
than In that preceding, the difference was
not aa great as in the decade of 1880 and
lxao, os as It was in most of the earlier
"decades."
!o It ana to City.
"The conclusion, therefore," he says,
"be safely diawn that there Is any broad
sense, an Increasing tendency by the popu
lation to leave the country and go to the
ftlty."
. '1 lie decline In rural population has been'
substantially general throughout the great
northern middle section of the country. In
the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Mis
souri, Kentucky and Tennessee, which He
In a solid body, 440 of the 060 counties de
creased in population from lswo to 11110.
The director Clowes by saying:
"The decrease in rural population in the
middle states Is by no means due to lack j
of prosperity, as the agricultural statistics
of the Census bureau show an extraordi
nary increase in the value of farm lands
and farm property throughout this section,
and will doubtless Indicate a great in
crease In the incomo of the farmers when
the statistics are complied."

ber of votes, as compared with the success
ful candidates of lat-t year, Perhaps U.000,000
votes were cast In the country and there
should be S0(0U0,u00. People growl around
about bossing and bosses and then refuse
to take the.r rights. If anybody made a
move to deny them the right to vote they
would value It rather hlg'hly, I think.
'In my travels I have found very little
bitterness over the result of the election.
It was bound to come and everybody knew
It. The majority of people would be better
satisfied If the republican party had won,
but It was not unexpected. We had It all
figured out beforehand. I expected Ne
braska would elect a republican governor,
because of the stand taken by Mr. Bryan,
but the rest of It Is a perfectly natural
development.
; ."All of this trouble about high prices and
all of this political sentiment will blow
over. The wie legislator, the man like Taft,
knows that legislation can be well done
only when there U calm, not In the time of
excitement. That Is why Taft Is so efficient.
He knows that legislation s done by the
people, not by tho government, and can
only be done When the people are thinking,
not when they are excited. Hut things will
sol tie down analnr and we will get over our
difficulties"

DRAINAGE FIGHT IS SETTLED
Wfcat a One Time l ooked Llko Law
Bait Compromised.
WREMONT, Neb., Dee. 10. (Speolal.)
What at one time looked like a deadloc
and a protracted legal fight between the
city of Fremont and the Elkhorn Drain
age district was adjusted yesterday after
noon by the city council practically acceed
ing to the demands of the district. The
plans for the use o fthe sewer ditch for a
art of the way andp Its widening and deep
ening for that distance. At the same time
the people who are back of the drainage
district asked the council to have the sewer
ditch cleaned, deepened and Tut In shape
the balance of the way.
The committee on sewage reported
against the cleaning out plan and Mayor
Burrell, wl" Is himself an engineer, op
posed the widening of the ditch In places
on the ground that It would prevent a
constant flow of water. The drainage com
pany then threatened to put In a ditch par
allel with the sewer ditch which would
take all the water irom the latter. The
council then unanlcously came to the con
clusion that the drainage company had the
best of them and granted the application
of the company for permission to widen
and duept n the ditch for a short distance.
There were threuts of Injunctions and con
demnation proceedings and had a settle
ment not been made, pi otracted litigation
would have followed.

Lawson Tells of
the Manipulation
of Copper Stocks
Boston Copper Magnate is Witness in
Suit Brought by Heinle to Re
cover Collateral.
BOSTON. Dec. 10 Thomas W. Lawson
attempted today to shed some light on the
rise and fall of Ohio copper In May. 1909.
as bearing on the allegations of F. Augus
tus Hetnxe In his suit to recover collateral
pledged with A. D. F. Adams of this city,
which he claims was sold without his
(Ilelnse's) consent.
The case is being heard by F. Rock wood
Hall, a master appointed by the supreme
court.
Mr. Lawson said ha entered Into an
agreement with Carlos Warfield, F. Augus
tus Helnse and James It, Keene regarding
management of a market campaign In Ohio
copper which should enhance the value of
the stock from $5 to IS a share. He was
assured by Mr. Warfield that the greater
part of the stock was closely held and that
very little stock would come out during
the rise.
Mr. Lawson said he began purchasing the
stock and continued It until It had gone
above t a share, purchasing and selling In
the two weeks of the rise some 90.000
shares. When the stock reached $8 a shre
he was. led to believe on Investigation that
Ohio copper stock, which he had been as
sured by Warfield and Keene would not be
offered, was nevertheless being thrown on
the market In large blocks. He ceased his
operations at once on May tt, 1900.
Counsel tried to obtain from Mr. Lawson
his Idea of the reputation of Mr. Holme
for truth and Veracity, but there was ob
jection. Mr. Lawson was allowed to say,
how r, that he had hot spoken to Mr.
Hei. eV'or eight years and did not want to
V.ave any business relations with him.

Will Set Country Aflame.
CHIHUAHUA, Mex., Dec. 10. (Via El

The correspondent counted 150 perfectly
armed and equipped lnsurrectos In the

ber were reported scouting. In none of
the towns along the border were any non
combat ints to be seen except young boys
and very old men.
lnsurrectos In this state regard them
selves as the spark which will set the
whole country on fire, and all are fully
aware that no other part of Mexico Is In
arms. The men declare they are not fight
ing to put Francisco Madero into office,
but for an honest ballot and to save the
country from possible anarchy as the re
sult of the present system of oppression.
The lnsurrectos gained control of Guer
rero, which Is quite, a large town, without
bloodshed. The federal force there num
bers but sixty. Some of these deserted,
they say, and found jobs In the mines, while
others Joined the Insurgents.

LONDON, Deo. 10. (Special to The Bee.)
A singular incident occurred at the
funeral at Klngstonea of Captain Hiram
Maynard, for nineteen years coxswain of
the Shoreham lifeboat. When the lifeboat
men had assembled at the house to carry
the remains to their - last resting place a
barge was seen In. difficulties In the harbor
nearby. The weather at the time being
very stormy, the llfeboatmen were at once
ordered to proceed to the lifeboat house
and stand by their boat In case their serv
ices were needed. The barge, however, en
tered the harbor safely, and the lifeboat
men returned to Captain Maynard'a late
residence and proceeded with the coffin
to the cemetery.

Bham Flabt for Pictures.
In the hope of giving a much-needed
fillip to recruiting, the army council has
given permission for troops at Aldershot
to take part In a sham fight solely for the
purpose of making cinematograph films.
In the past officers have usually done their
best to balk photographers, and have even
been known to smash cameras; but now
they play the game for the picture pro
curer so that the public may have a clear
Idea of Tommy Atkins at work.

Harmon to Hesone.
At the critical moment. Governor Judson
Harmon came to the rescue and climbed
Into the band wagon. When his right was
challenged he declared that he was the
legible candidate., the friend of the maesee,
and the classes were friends of his. But
Miss Democracy decided that he would
have to wait for two years to see what he
could do with a democratic legislature, so
Harmon climbed down.
Dlx was the next aspirant for favor,
claiming Ms seat by virtue of a ticket
bearing an "O. K." by Charles F. Murphy,
and because of his versatility, but Miss
Democracy Insisted that the trouble with
the democratic party for the last twenty
five years was that It had been "too
damned versatile," and Dlx was thrown
