PRESIDENT AND CABINET
DISCUSS DIRECTOR
NORTH AFFAIR
ROW OVER CONTRACTS
PRECIPITATES CRISIS
Capacity cl the Director to
Manage Census Bureau
is Questioned
Washington D. C April 29 Some
surprising facts have developed as a
result of a discussion of the .North
situation by the President and his
cabinet. The issue appears now to
have been largely concent rat ed on a
single problem which involves the
capacity of director North to admin-
ister the Census bureau and which
v:me fear may when the facts be
come public result in a. oer.wus teiii-
tial
So confused have been Mr. Norin'a
efforts to explain the; facts to bis su-
priors and so vatia-fcie were his rep-
resentations to -Me president that it
!8 almost irapo3Si'.i)io to state anything
which has to do with the Census bu-
rp.'iu rs a fact: but. among the alle
gations Which have been presented to
the secretary of commerce and labor
and to the president are the follow-
ing: CharSes Ag'inst North
1. That Director North lias award-
ed a contract for the construction
of tabulated machinery with which to
compile the next census.
2. That Director North has award-
ed no contract whatever.
3. Tr.it Director North has award-
id a contract for a sum which ac-
cording to his own testimony before
the Census committee will cost not
less than $250000 without asking
for bids; and that he :haa grven this
contract to a New York man who has
no plant for the construction of the
machinery but Is now seeking to se-
cu.ro estimates from those possessing
plants 'With which to build the macbin
ery.
4. That Director North has award
ed contracts for the construction of
part3 of the desired machines; that
he purposes to assemble the parts and
actually construct the machines fn
the work shop of the Census bureau
end that he has agreed to pay for
time required by workmen to make
these parts without any guarantee
against an excessive total for tha
work
5. That Director North could have
secured the completed machines nec-
essary to tabulate tha coming census
from the concern which made the ma-
chines for the last census for $200
000 fiat which company he has testi-
fied saved the gcrnnient 85000000
through the use of their machines al
though he as claimed that the rental
charges for the machines was exor-
bitant. Sea DanSer in Movo
Inquiries which have been prose-
cuted outshlo" the Census bureau lead
the president .and Secretary Nagel to
believe tbat.'thc process of having
the parts of . the highly complicated
tabulated machines made in different
shops with a view to assembling tHem
in Washington Is fraught with the ut-
most dancer because it is almost im
possible to manufacture such things
with sufficient accuracy to insuro
their fitting when they reach the as
Eembling table.
Expert testimony secured by Mr.
North's superiors also indies 18 (hat
the building of new maciiiues on ui
t.atents and which have not been
tested in advance is fraught with
grave danger and fears are entertain
ed that even if the machines pP sue
cc-asfully assembled they may refuse
to work when next spring the figures
"ienned by the enumerators are ready
to be tabulated.
The officialy have also been inform-
ed that the method of contracting for
parts cf machines on so large a scale
t0 be paid for by Mmework. is almost
certain to rerult In a cast to the gov.
eminent wholly cut cf proportion to
its value and to the primates.
North Seems in Doubt' '
The confusion in the. minds oi the
president and the 'secretary of com-
merce and labor with regard to the
alleged coritrr.ct: for the machine
work grows cut of the fact that Mr.
North himself seems to be n dotrW
on the bJoct bavtWS'sscfted posi-
tively that contracts had hem let ori
.. oi w.tsini and that they had 'fi-ot
bwn i'U. another am! finally ownfess-

Chicago 111. April 29 Some of
the m.iusgers of railroads operating
in Missouri left the meeting yesteru5
afternoon not feeling any too kindly
toward some of the other managers
who insisted on adopting a straight
2 1-2 cent fare. However the agree-
ment to adopt the lower rate was fin-
ally made and a coaimittee appointed
to see what sort of an agreement
could be made for excursion rates for
the summer.
The Burlington and Rock Island took
the initiative in insisting upon the
lower rate while moat of the other
roads ender the leadership of the
Santa Fe wanted to put the 3-cent
fare into effect. The principal argu-
ment against the higher rate was the
probable effect on public opiniou.
MOB LEAPER KILLED
Fishkill N. Y. April 29 An unknown
Italian leader of a mob was shot and
killed today when a crowd of strikers
and rioters attacked the Watrons
brick yard where the strike was on.

CilGUSIIII ELECTION
OFFICIALS CHARGED
WITH BRIBERY
Special to the Daily Leader.
Chietaha Ok. April 8 Open
charges 3f bribery are made against
trie election judges of the Sixth ward
in Chickasha by one of the most in-
fluential nun living in the ward it
is very jiobable that the warrants
will be issued for the arrest of tha
members beiore tbi end of the 'Week
and. I'. Is generally understood that a
special t;rand jury will be called im-
mediately at which time much excite
menr will b; turned loose in the CI).
The citizen who made the chan-'ea
says he knew that a luscious bribe
had l-een offered the election b'urd
and that he was not surprised that
tney were unable to resist the temp-ta-ion
a4 the reward was worth while
When thu citizen in question voted
he haniifd his ballot to one of the
e:ection judegs. The judge pl.iied
the i. allot in his inside pocket. From
am tlicr pocket ho produced another
hailot evidently marked for tha prop
e' candidate which he dropped "n;c
Use ba'lot box. iHe tried to hide his
n-ovenicnu but the suspicious vo'.r
was cu the look-out. "You are a
creek' yelled the voter as he jump-
ed the rail lie grabbed the judge
by the throat. "Give pie my ballot'
he kept yelling at the same time try-
ing to get his hands in the Judged
inside pocket. It took six men to
separate the combatants. j"I know
you are bribed." said t.ne voter point
ing all the accused "you also have
your finger in the pie" "and you teo'
he f.hfd. pointing to one and then the
other of the judges. "Here is the
agreement which you 8ll signed" ha
snid flourishing a piece of paper in
Ihi'air. This agreement la conclu-
sive evidence.
While there seems to be little
doubt that the judges are guilty it
is my opinion that they should be
treated with leniency because of the
unusual circumstances" aaid a prom
inent citizen.
