CAPITAL RESIDENTS| DELAYING CENSUS Reluctance of Apartment and| Hotel Dwellers Is Cited by J. S. Moran. The taking of the census in Wash- ington, according to J. Sterling Moran, supervisor, is being delayed by the re- luctance of many ->cupants of apart- ment “houses, apartment hotels and rooming houses to furnish enumerators the necessary information. Mr. Moran sald his men have ex- perienced so much difficulty with peo- ple falling into these three classes that it is impossible for him to predict at | this time when the final tabulation of census figures will be ready for publi- cation. Postmen Get Results. ‘The work also is being delayed. he #aid, because some enumerators failed ! to cover their districts thoroughly, | necessitating a_recheck. The best work has been dcne, he said, | in the mail carrier district, where the census was taken by postmen, Mr. ‘Moran himself has gone into many dis- tricts where his men had experienced difficulty in geting individuals to make their returns. If persuasion fails in getting the de- sired results, he indicated, the names of the individuals withholding informa- tion will be turned over to the district attorney's office for prosecution. 10,000 City Class Gains. ‘The first 340 cities of more than 10,- 000 population reporting 1930 census returns showed a 235 per cent gain over 1920. The 340 aggregated 11.- | 623,358. In 1920 those same cities totaled 9,409,490. The first two hundred cities had shown a gain of but 19.5 per cent. This apparently mounting gain may be coun- teracted by the complete report of Cities of more than 100,000. Thase larger cities have shown a trend to slow down in growth, ‘While more than half the cities of 10,000 -~or more have reported, only about one-third of the cities of 100,- 000 or more are included in that num- ber, In 1920 there was 737 cities of more than 10,000—a total which prob- ably will be increased to about 800 in 1930. Of the 737, the cities of more than 100,000 numbered 68. LEWIS ATTACKS GRUNDY CANDIDACY Mine Union President Calls on Workers to Support Davis in Senatorial Race. B the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 10.—Declaring that Joseph R. Grundy was labor's “greatest foe,” John L. Lewls, interna- tional president of the United Mine ‘Workers of America, in a radio address from station WCAU, tonight indorsed the primary ticket headed by Secretary of Labor James J Davis for the Repub- lican nomination for United States Sen- ate. and Prancis Shunk Brown for gov- ernor. = Senator Grundy is Mr. Davis' principal opponent. “Davis is being opposed by Joseph R. Grundy, than whom labor has no greater foe,” said Lewis, “Grundy seeks, by fair means or foul, to en- trench himself in a public position that would vastly increase his power and influence as a representative of special interests. * * * As indicative of the manner Grundy will function in the United States Senate, one need only refer to his conduct during the present week, when he was paired in favor of the confirmation of Judge Parker for | appointment to the Supreme Court of | the United States. Grundy found him- self in positive sympathy with the man | who wrote the decision of the Circuit | Court of Appeals in the Red Jacket | injunction case, which delivered into un-American economic servitude 50.000 mine workers in Southern West Vir- ginia. This decision was so repugnant to the majority of the Uni States Senate that Parker was defeated for confirmation, YOUTHFUL FLYER APPROACHES GOAL Goldsborough Reaches Columbus In West-East Junior Record Assault.

Rain, wind. lightning and a Jow ceiling delayed his take-off from Tulsa until midmorning, and he was forced to fly cautiously.

About, 300 persons waited to greet him_ here The aviator recently established a new junior mark for an East-West transcontinental fiight.

Claggett. There is a tradition that President Jefferson used to attend services in the old church previously Tocated on New Jersey ave- nue. Those living in the parish have had pointed out to them in years gone by the trees to which he was said to have hitched his horse while attending services.
