J. RED BANK, N. J., Sept. 9.—The po lice are searching for two men whom they charg-e with the murder of Fred erick F. Gardner, general manager of the Lake Shore Electric company, which operates the traction lines in this section of New Jersey. Gardner had been missing from his home In Red Bank since August 23, and no clew to explain his disappear ance was discovered until yesterday, ■when his body was found in a clump of bushes six miles from town close to the tracks of his railroad. From the condition of the body It is believed lie wai beaten to death. The murder apparently was not com mitted by robbers, as a large sum of money was in his pockets and his jew elry had not been disturbed. The only clew to the mystery of hia death was offered by the testimony of a woman living near the place whero the body was found. She told tlio police she encountered two strangers who were idling: near the spot on tho day of Gardner's disappearance. Their actions, she said, were such as to arouse her suspicion, but she «aid nothing about them to any one until the recovery of the body recalled them to her mind. She could give but a meager description of their appear ance. CROCKER'S NEW HOME SAID MOST BEAUTIFUL ON COAST Millionaire Gives House Warming.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1010 FRANCE DECADENT SHOWN BY CENSUS Population of Europe Takes on a Strange Swing Since Opening of Nineteenth Century GERMANY IS NOW IN THE LEAD Italy. Only a Name in 1801. Is a Nation with 34,000,000 Inhabitants (Special to Tlis Ilfrald) LONDON, Sept. 9.—The changes in Europe since 1801 show some remark able reversals In 'states anil politics. The Europe of ISOI counted 175,000,000 inhabitants; Its population today ex -438,000,000. The population of France, which ran to over 33,000,000. exceeded then in number, cohesion and living strength that of any nation except Russia, which, however, counted only, 38,000,000. The population of the British Isles was only 16,000.000, not quite half that of Franre. The Ger man empire, counting its 300 states, often at war with one another, had in. all only 25,000,000 people. Italy was only a "geographical expression" at that time, but the whole peninsula in ton duchies comprised only 17,000,000 people. Austria and Hungary to gether numbered only 25,000,000. The population of China had risen from 69,000,000 at the dawn of the Christian era to 333,000,000 In 1795, hut no other figure was quoted for Asia. Africa was to the civilized world a mere outline. In America the official census of 1790 roported 4,000,000 inhab itants, which rose, according to the census of 1800, to 5,308,483. No precise figure was given for the rest of Amer ica, nor was anything known of the population of Ocearrica, Australia or New Zealand. Today the political condition of Eu rope has changed with the change of population. France, which 110 years ago was the first and In a sense the only power of Europe, Is today of com paratively small account. The popu lation of Europe has risen from 175, --000,000 to 438,000.000—an Increase of 268, --000,000, or about 150 per cent. France has Increased only from 33.000,000 to 39,000,000, an Increase of only 18 per cent. In 1801 France was In population one-fifth of Europe; today It Is less than one-eleventh. The population of Great Britain exceeds 45,000,000, an in crease of 29,000,000, or more than 180 per cent. The German empire has grown from 25,000,000 Inhabitants of rival and Jeal ous states In 1801 to a homogeneous strength of 05,000,000, an Increase of 40,000,000 since 1801—the Increase alone exceeding the population of all of Fiance today—and of 26,000,000 since 1870. The population of Germany has Increased by 152 per cent since 1801. Austria-Hungary has more than dou bled its population, which now num bers 60,000,000, and Italy, with 34,000,000 inhabitants, has nearly doubled. Spain counts 20,000,000. Belgium and the Low lands exceed 14,000,000, In place of 5,000, --000 in 1801. Russia has Increased in liv ing strength by 200 per cent, and num bers 138,000,000 people. Japan has come out of the seas with 65,000,000 Inhabi tants to take an Important place In the world. In America, of course, progress Is more marked. Canada has 7,000,000 people; Brazil, 18.000,000 to 20,000,000; Peru, 6,000,000. Chile, 3,500,000; Argen tine, 6,000,000; Mexico, 16,000,000, and the United States, characterized as "a miracle of vitality, energy, prodigious industry and world-embracing com merce," is itself a veritable New World, with nearly 100,000,000 inhabitants. The world has made great progress since 1801, and progressed In every nation except one. France, which claims, and some years ago justly claimed, to be the land of progress and enlightenment and of the growth of ideas and the expansion of thought, has remained in those 110 years almost AMUSEMENTS Bt-it *c</-><-\ TUPATUP Belaßco-Blackwood Co..

Cosby to Be Erected on Gettysburg Battlefield PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.—There will be received soon on the battlefield of Gettysburg a heroic bronze figure of the late Very Rev. William Cosby, C. S. G., chaplain of the Eighty-eighth regiment, New York Infantry, who was the principal figure In a dramatic inci dent in the famous battle. July 2, 1863, the second brigade, first division, second corps, was ordered to move to the support of the left wing of the Union army, which was then sus taining a desperate attack. Just before the brigade—which was known as the Irish brigade—took up its line of march, the priest mounted a great boulder not far away from the bloody angle, and calling on the brigade to kneel and for each man to make his act of contrition, he gave to those Catholic soldiers general absolution. The scene was witnessed by many soldiers who still survive. The statue is being modeled in this city. MINER THRESHES MEXICAN JUSTICE IN DOUGLAS DOUGLAS, Ariz., Sept. 9.— W. L.

Today nearly 800,000,000 men know how to wield the same weapons, to use the like implements and instru ments in the struggle for life. A cen sus tomorrow would disclose a world's population showing the prodigious fig ure of fifteen thousand millions. The conditions in France have been at tributed to Irrellgion, race suicide, etc., but the real cauie* must be left to her own peoplo for elucidation. .
