)ecrease in Indian Popula-
tion Explained in
Reports.
Washington I). C. Sept. 28.—The
ccdsum bureau of. the Department of
Commerce has issued a MatemeDt giv-
ing revised figures for the composition
of th*- population of the UailM State**
according to color or race as shown by
the census taken ns of January 1 IO2U.
Population Is 105710620.
The total population of the United
States 195710.620. comprises 91^20*
015 white i»eraons; 10463.131 negroes;
244.497 Indians; 111010 Japunr^ :
61.G.TJ Chinese; 5693 Filipinos; 2507
Hindus; 1224 Koreans and IM other
(Biame>e. Hawaiian* Malaya Maoris
and Hamoant). The corresponding
figures for 1910 were as follows: 81.-
731967 white |»eraons; 9JC7.763
negroes; 265.683 Indians; 72.157 Jap-
anese 71.881 < himse; 100 Filipinos;
2345 Hindus; 402 Koreans; and eight
others (Maoris). The rates in increase
for the principal races during the de-
cade were: Total population 14.9 per
rent; white. 1G per cent; negro 6.5
l»er vent: JapanCM .33 8 |Mr ■ ■ Bt. Tbt
Indian population decreased by 8.0 per
rent and the Chinese population by 13.8
per mt
White Population In Small Increase.
The rate of Increase in the white imp-
utation during the recent decade 1G
per cent is considerably less than the
corresponding rato for the period 1960-
1910 w hich was 22.3 |»er cent. This •le-
eline is accounted for mainly by the
great reduction in the volume of im-
migration during the period of the
World War. Au estimate bused on the
excess of births over deaths and on the
excess of immigration over emigration
ptiMa a total differing by only a frac-
tion of 1 per cent from the total white
population enumerated.
The rate of increase in the negro pop-
ulation. which is । '
fected by immigration or emigration is
by far the lowest on record. Such data
as are available in regard to birth and
‘death rat< ■ Indirat •
that the birth rate has decreased consid-
erably since 1900 while the death rate
has not changed greatly.
The following statement shows the
negro population in 1920 and 1910 with
the rates of increase during the* past
Iwo decades for the South the North
and the West. The line between the
North and South follows the northern
boundaries of beta ware. Maryland.
West Virginia. Kentucky. Arkansas and
Oklahoma. The Weal i that i
the country lying west of tSe eastern
limits of Montana Wyoming Colorado
and New Mexico.
Negroes Increase Is 472.564.
The total numerical increase iu the
negro population during the decade was
883^168. Of this increase 472564 or
nearly three-fourths t<»ok place in the
North and West while only 162.894
or about one-fourth was reported for
the Month. despite the fart that about
85 per cent of the total negro popu-
lation is still found in the Houth.
Without exception the northern and
western stat's which border on the
South reported greater .rates of increase
In negro population than the nvcrag<
for the country and in seven 1 of these
States the rates were very large—for
example in Illinois. 67.1 i»cr cent: in
Ohio 67.1 p«T cent; and in Pennsyl-
vania 46.7 per cent. The lastmer.-
Honed Mate ha* a larger negro pop-
ulation than either Maryland or Ken
tucky. The greatest rate of growth
in negro population reporter by any
state baring more than 10.000 negro
inhabinetnts appears for Michigan. 251
per cent tIM 11. gio pop italioi nf i
state having in i .T««l from 17.11 • in
1016 to 60.982 in 1920.
Indians in Decrease.
The decrease in the Indian popuhv
tion. as enumerated is probably to be
accounted for in part by the enumera-
tion. as Indians in 1910 and as white*
In 1920 nf certain Iversons having only
slight traces of Indian blood. In 1910
g special effort was made to secure a
complete enumeration of all person*
having any perceptible amount of In
dian blond. for the puriwwe «f prepar-
ing a special report showing tribal re
tations purity of Indian blood etc.;
and it is probable that for this reason
a considerable number of persona who
would ordinarily have been reported a*
whites were enumerated s- Indians in
1010. This assumption is borne out
by a comparison of th* totals shown for
the Indian population nt the last four
censuses- the only ones nt which a
complete enumeration of the Indian |»op-
illation ha- been attempt"!• The"

SET DATE FOR TRIAL
OF W ALLACE E.OEDING
CROW CASE WITNESS
Testimony on Swindling anc
Arson Charges to Be
Heard October 4.
3'rial of Wallace E. Oeding. chief
witness for the defence in the Toin
Crow munlcr case on charge* of swind-
ling and arson is set for Tuesday Oc-
tober 4 iu the Thirty-seventh district
court.
Oeding** testimony was a storm cen-
ter in both of Crow’s trial* and the de-
fense maintained that bis arrest on the
bwindiiug charge was brought abou; by
the district attorney's office solely to
discredit him as a witness. One indict-
ment and two justice court complaints
ngain*l him were dismissed by district
judges on the grounds that prosecution
wa* barre*l by the statute of limitations.
The indictment now* pending against
Oeding charges that he was a party to
the alleged wilfull burning of his in-
snred automobile and that he defraud-
ed the insuram*« company by collecting
more than XiMM) on the policy. It is
allege*! that the cur was burned in Feb-
ruary of 1917 ami the insurance money
collected the following May.
The indictment mN> states that Ced-
ing was out of the state of Texas for s
period of Mineral month* after the al-
ieg.-d offegse this being made the bu-i*
for bringing charges after the statute of
limitation would otherwise have expired.
Crow was tried ami twice convicted
on charges of having poisoned Mrs. Oro
Parker. Oeding testified that about a
week lH*fore Mrs. Parker’s death which
occurred on January 23. 1926. that he
bought poison al Mrs. Parker's request
and delivered it to her. Subsequently
Ceding was indicted on cliargos of
complicity in the alleged murder and
this indictment is also ixuding.
BREAK OVER LUMBER
PfePfer Insists City "Taking a Chance"
(•King Refugees Material.
Hr. A. A. Luther cl.airman of th* 1
flood reclamation committee in charge
of salvaging pnqverty swept away b.
the fl<H*l W<*dn<*day took issue with
John P. I’feiffcr eonimi*si*»nrr of taxa-
tion. on bin Mund with regard to the dU-
|h*mil of anlvnged lumber. Commiwioner
Pfeiffer nt the c<»umil meeting Mon-
day afternoon voted against acceptance
of an offer by 4he Aim rican Bed < ross
to build houses for destitute fl***l vj« - i
lima out of unidentified lumber which
had Iwen n elaime*| by the committ*e.
Aicording to Dr. Luther memberi
of the committee meeting with repre-
sentatives of the l(* *l Cross Mon*la>.
decided that the best mean* of
iug of this lumber was to build small
houM-s for those flo*x| victims now
bring sheltered by the Keii Cros*. Tbi*
n/g:inixation agreed to pay for the nr"
ual labor ami such materials as were
necessary. Dr. Luther snid to construct
these houses. All lumber which cuiild
be identified he claimed has Isen re
stored to its rightful owners.
The I{e<l Cross authorized the c«»m-
mittee. Dr. Luther said to proceed!
with the construction of 25 house** fot .
which the organization would stand an I
expense of approximately 810 each. !
The lal*»r unions plan he said to en- |
list the services of union carpenters in
this work while day labor would !>c
supplied nt $2.50 per day. Cammis |
sjoncr Pfeiffer objr* tei| to the di*trib ।
tiling of the luiqber in this manner on 1
the ground that the city has no right to
dispose nf something which it docs not
own nnd that if Inter penpie whn had |
lost their houses preaeutcd claims the’
city would be liable.
Dr. J.uther pointed nut that the sal-
vage committee was apmunted for th*
purpose nf allotting the unclaimed lum-
ber tn the ponr. If this procedure is
not followed he Miid. the committee
was apisuntisl iu vain. In view of the
fact fhat all owners have identified
their pr<»pertv. he asserted nnv him
!>er which might now be par< elle<| out I
to the poor «s»uld not hereafter b” I
claimed and the citv stands no chance .
t<> bwome involv»sl in lawsuits as a |
consequenee of its giving it h» tie
l»nor. Many twior families. Dr. Luther
said are without funds with which t« |
rebuild their home* ami if they arc
not given aid hv the lied Cross they
probably will sell the salvaged lumber
fnr a small »um ami again become a
burden upon charitable organization*

The store is located on the pl.iv

counters on Iwo side* and a d.-üble ■<
errant container on .1 third aide. The
wall of the school building forms the
fourth side of the store. This is open.-d
during the two morning recess s the
lunch hour and the afternoon wr...
■We have had great success with the
store thus far.” Miss Higgins said. • The
children seem to take more int. u-t in
it than they probably would in an ima-;
inary store. They seem to g t gnat
fun out of buying fruits nnd other
things from the gr.sers and selling
them'at n profit at the school. They
Imre gone into it with n spirit to do it
nil them-elves. and practically every-
thing i» done by them.
-They have many quaint advertising
cards hung on the wall at the store

themselves. I believe it is a smamss

The older children nnturallv were
