YOUNG MAN IS DUBIOUS

To what extent doe* a woman know

This question came up Monday In
the office of Census Supervisor Moote,
In the Mutual building.
Mr. flamuel W. Lacy. a neatly dress
ed young man, residing at 505 North
Twenty-eighth street, was directly re
sponsible for the question. He came
Into the office and announced that a

mation about ht» mother and other
members of his family during their
absence.
filler Clerk Puxsled.
"Do you auppose she knrjW every
thing about us that you want to
know?" asked the young man of Chief
Clerk Arthur Gray.
"It's hardly probable,” said Mr.
(•ray, looking somewhat pussled. "For
Instance, It’s not likely that she knew
the jdaee of -father* WrUv." —
"That's so,” assented tho young
man, "and as far an 1 am concerned
personally, 1 believe I had rather
make out my own slip."
"Not a bad Idea," remarked the
chief clerk,
"And suppose you take half a doxen
•lips and Ax up tho family." hr added.
Consult tin- Family.
Mr latcy took the slips and left,
saying that h* would return them ns
soon as he could consult with other
members of the family.
In this oonectlon It may be staled
that Supervisor Moore l« especially
desirus that all persona, yet to be enu
merated, All out their ow-n slips a* far
ns It is convenient and possible to do
so. Otherwise, he says, there must
necessarily be many inaccuracies In
the census returns.

WOMAN CRYING "MURDER"
AROUSES NEIGHBORHOOD
Residents in Vicinity of Second and Franklin Awakened by Fem
inine Shrieks—Police Arrive Posthaste on Scene, But Fail to
Gain Entrance to Home as Cries Subside,
Shrill feminine shrieks of "Murder!
Murder!" from a home on Second
street between Main and Franklin
aroused the neighborhood early Sun
day morning.
"Help, help, he Is choking me," the
woman continued to screhm, ur.d then
the voice of a child In fright mingled
with that of the woman.
Ohost-llke figures appeared at neigh
boring window*. The scream* grew
more piercing, and Some one phoned
for the police.
Presently a blue coat rode up post
haste on a bicycle In response to the
call and made an effort to enter the
home from which the screams had
Issued. All was now quiet Inside. The
cop rapped loudly for entrance with hi*
billy and before there was an answer
five more blue coats had appeared on
these scene.
"Save That Woman."
“Go right In and save that woman,"
urged a voice from a window across
the street.
The cop rapped again and a man ap
peared at the door.
“You can’t corn* In." he told the
policeman ua the other blue coats rush
ed tip the steps.
“But 1 mult.” Insisted the stern min
ion uf the law. “Somebody Is bsing
muruared In here and I am going to
find out what the trouble Is.”
"1 tell you there la nothing the mat
ter," continued the man, "and I'd have
you know that my home ie my cas
tle.”
' Potiee Fail to Get In.
• Seeing that the man was Arm, the
pnlico finally took their departure. The
ghost-like figures disappeared from the”
neighboring window* and all became,
quiet once more.
Whether
actually being threatened Is a ques
tion which neighbors are still trying
to solve. It Is said that she and her
husband were out walking Sunday af
ternoon, apparently on the best of
terms.
