THE CRANSTON CO. have not received their final naturali- zation papers, and 6,001 are Indians. “The census bureau,” sald Director Rodgers, “had few reliable data as to STATE'S REGISTRATION TOTALS 159,761 MEN Of This Number 1,100 Are Unnatural- ized Germans. which have taken place between cer- tain parts of the country in recent vears, particularly since the outbreak of the war gave so great an impetus to the manufacture of munitions and other commodities needed by the bel- ligerents. The manufacturing indus- tries thus affected are mainly in the northeastern states, and as a resula the population of these states has in- creased with abnormal rapidity at the expense of other parts of the country. The increases and decreases 1ave been very largely in the class of men cov- ered by the registration. “The most pronounced discrepancies appear for the state of Washington, n which the registration amounted to 49.8 per cent. of the estimate; Oregon, in which it was 57.9 per cent.; North Dakota, 73 per cent.; Wyoming about 85 per cent.; N evada, 6.17 perecnt 65 per cent vada, 71.6 per cent., and South Dakota 72.1 per cent. In no other state was the registration less than 75 per cent. of the estimate. On the other hand, 14 states—Arizona, Connecticut, Deiaware, Ilinois, Indi- ana, Iowa, Massachusetts, illinofs, On the face of the draft registra- tion returns there are more men be- tween the ages of 21 and 30 years, in- clusive in the United States than were estimated by the census bureau on May 12. The census estimate was that there were 14,079,000 men between those ages. Careful study of the res- is tratifon figures shows that when al- lowance is made for the number of men aiready in the military and naval service of the country and when this allossance is added te the number registered on June 5, there is an ex- cess of about 100,000 over the govern- ment’s estimate. Director Sam L. Rod- ger's of the census bureau today au- thorized a statement to this effect, after making analysis of the returns. Of the 9,659,882 registrants reported 7.347,794 are white citizens, 953,899 are colored citizens, 1,239,865 are unatu- ralized foreigners from countries other than Germany, 111,828 are unnatral- ized Germans, including declarants, tkat is, persons who have declared intention of becoming citizens, but No matter what your requirements Whether You Want a I.arge or Small Home— We can best fill the bill for the materials.

The hall was well filled by an appreciative audience of refatives and friends. Around the stage were decorations of peonies and above it was draped the flag. Two pianos were in use during the recital, Joaned by the Plaut-Cadden company. The program was extremely well arranged, the absence of any long pauses being noticeable. The work of the pupils was excellent, showing a vast amount of painstaking practice and effort on the part of both teachers and pupils. All of the solo work was memorized and when the age of many of the chil- dren is considered that in itself de- notes a high degree of excelience of training. The solos were played very well, al- though in the first grades hands seem- [ ed very tiny and feet could not reach the pedals. Many of the children showed decided talent. The program opened with a short ad- dress of welcome by Miss L. Sullivan, the rest being entirely musical In all of the work the remarkably accurate time, observed especiaily in the duets, trios and quartettes, was very noticeable and pleasing. In the Robin Song, sung very pretti- ly by the Misses A. Mahoney and M. O'Neil, little Miss Mary Smith of the first grade unconsciously ~ showed mnarked ability in accompanying. The difficilt and compiicated Sol Fa, a vocal duet, was very well given by Miss T. Clish and Master J. Morley, being sung with expression and easc, careful phrasing and well sustained tones. Miss L. Valentine sang an attractive and odd little song, Grandmother Brown. It was very Interesting to note the progress made through each grade to the more advanced pupils. Each year added to_their ease and accuracy and in a marked degree to their technique and power of expression. The solos by all of the advanced pupils were worthy of mention, being well executed and perfectly memorzed and many of them difficult and of great length and of decided cAssical merit.

New York, June 27.—Additional ev- idence of police bungling in the search for Ruth Cruger, murdered high school student, was brought out today at the investigation, Leonard M. Wallstein, commissioner of accounts, is conduct- ing, by order of Mayor Mitchel, to fix responsibility for police failure to find the body which was hidden in the cellar of Alfredo Cocchi’s bicycle shop. Admission was wrung from Lieu- tenant Francis A. Stainkamp, of the fourth branch detective bureau, where the case was handled, that aithough report of Miss Crugers disappearance was made by Alfred M. Brown, a friend of the Cruger family, at mid- night, February 13, he had entered ft in the complaint book as having been made February 14 at 9:45 a m. A False Entry. “Isn’t this a false entry?” demand- ed the comissioner. “It is,” Stainkamp replied. “Then why did you do it?” “Because 1 got the report time when I went on duty.” “But it is a false entry isn’t Commissioner Wallstein insisted. “Yes, it is,” the police lieutenant ad- mitted. As a result of the delayed entry, it ‘was brought out, Detective Sergeant John Lagarenne was not assigned to the case until 2 p. m., February 14. Contradictory Testimony. Detective Sergeant Edward _Willi, who took a description of Miss Cruger from Mr. and Mrs. Brown when they visited the branch bureau at midnight, February 13, denied the testimony of Police Lieutenant Brown earier in the day that he had been told to aid Miss Cruger’s friends in the search. Willl's police record of eleven years contained eight charges against him, it was brought out at the inquiry, one of| which involved a 14 year old girl. Lieutenant Stainkamp was asked by the commissioner if Detective Willi had informed him why the case had not been entered in the complaint book. “I am not sure whether he did or not,” he replied. “Did he tell you anything about the case?” “He sald something about telephon- ing Mr. Cruger to find out whether the girl had returned home”, the lieu- tenant said. “In other words it was not until the following morning that police ac- tion was started on the case Mr Wallstein asiced. “I couldn't say as to that “I mean as far as you know. “Yes, as far as 1 know,” Stainkamp answered. Police Showed No Eagerness. Mrs. Alma Brown, who accompanied her husband to the branch bureau to ask for immediate search for Miss Cruger in the hospitals, the morgue stations, testified that the ved no eagerness “to do at that 1t?” and police Lagarenne to be Tried. Arthur Wood, police commissioner, informed Commissioner Wallstein to- day that Detective Sergeant Lagarenne would be tried for neglect of duty. “I hope that you will at once send me further evidence, if you find it,” he wrote, “against other members of the force who may have been guilty of neglect in*the case. The big ma- jority of the force as well as_myself, want to know whether anyone has been guilty of dishonesty in this case or has in any way protected a orim- inal” Woods Conferred With Mrs. Humiston.

It was announced the con- ference was held “with a view to the future.” POQUETANUCK NEWS. Graduating Exercises Held in Parish House—Perfect Attendance Record.
