Charles E. Hughes, replying to Sec- retary Redfield's telegram denying that E. Dana Durand was forced out of office as director of the census, yes terday read to a large audience at £ Minneapolis a letter from Mr. Durand JT j in which the former director said that 2 he had told Secretary Redfield he would resign but wanted to remain. >+ and that Redfield replied that the ad ministration had decided on a change. 2 Mr. Hughes went into detail as to U; the charge he made in Detroit that | the administration had made a "raid upon the Civil Service of the United >+ States," and concluded as follows: e must have higher standards 2 1, those of this administration. 7 This administration, with loud pro -5 fessions of devotion to Civil Service reform has not been true to the stan n» dards of the administration which 1 >♦ believe the American people desire jT to see enforced." 7 In his Minneapolis speech Mr. Hughes said, in part: "In my speech in Detroit I took oe f.casion to refer to the fact that in a j# very important bureau, the Bureau of J j Census, an eminent statistician, a man of conspicuous expertness and titnes:; for the place, had been retired and a tman had been appointed in his place without Qualifications for that import ♦ ant technical work. You must know J how Important that Census Bureau is. [J In the proper collation of those statis tics is furnished the opportunity for >+ many investigators to detect important ♦ tendencies in our life. It is work that ♦ must be done expertly. 7 "Now, my statement that E. Dana J Durand was retired, as I said, in effect, ♦ and his place given to a politician, has + been challenged by Secretary Redfield. ♦ Secretary Redfield telegraphs me that T I was greatly misinformed. He says: 7 'Durand was not removed or retired, + but resigned voluntarily unasked. I was glad to indorse him for his pres ent employment." j _ Create r. Vacancy 2 " E Dana Durand happens to be a 7 professor in the University of Minne ♦ sota, and I am going to read the letter + which he has written me in respect' ♦ to this matter. He says: ♦ " Inasmuch as the truth of your 2 s J at e« lent with regard to change in T the directorship of the census has been 1 challenged. I think it is only fair to + you that I ■ should make this state ♦ ment: My resignation as director was ♦ distinctly a forced resignation. 2 " 'At the first Conversation I had J with Secretary Redfield on the subject, I I told him that I would of course re ♦ 1 sign whenever he desired, but that 1 ♦ hoped I might be permitted to remain ♦ a ® 1 was much interested in the work 2 artt considered myself reasonably qualified, especially by reason of the Z experience already gained in the posi ♦ tion. He at once told me that the ad ♦ ministration had decided that it ♦ wanted to make a change—l believe I 'to create a vacancy there" were the I words used. The next I heard about 1 i ! the matter was the announcement in £ ( the press that the name of my suc » cessor had been sent to the Senate. I » thereupon wrote out my resignation. T ; I prefer not to be quoted, but if you x consider it necessary, you are at lib £ erty to do so.' i T J ®tand by the statement which X I thought I made, which I now make.

NEWS OF S CRIME WAVE HITS BOROUGH; 1 SHOT Fight Over Woman Sends Man to Hospital; Two Are Robbed A series of three crimes in which valuables were taken or injury done to the person, and several minor infrac tions of the peace have kept the boroug+i police on the Jump for the last 36 hours. The most serious case occurred this morningr at 552 Iron alley, when in an alleged fight over a woman, Charles Brown, colored, aged 35 years, was shot in the chest near the heart and he is now said to he in a serious condition at the Harrisbut-g Hospital. Brown's assailant whose name he re fuses to divulge, made his escape and up to noon had not been captured. A holdup in which the victim was knocked unconscious and relieved of $36 was reported to the police last night. The victim was Ivan Kirin, re siding at 160 Frederick street and his assailants are said to have been three colored men, who after securing the man's purse, made their escape. Another robbery occurred on the same section of Frederick street yes terday when Woodson Rock, coolred, while sleeping had a purse containing SIS removed from an inside breast pocteet. Late yesterday afternoon a colored man named Obercash, was ar rested by Constable Gibb, charged with the theft. George Shutter Hurt. —George Shut ter was slightly injured yesterday when the team he was driving was struck by an automobile truck owned by RUSE Brothers, ice cream manufac turers. The accident occurred on the road between the Elliott-Fisher Com pany plant and the borough. Joseph Brinton, who was also in the wagon, escaped injury.

PRICES PREVENT BIG IRON SALES Higher Quotations Affect Mar ket; Heat Lessens Production; Foreign Buying In its weekly review of the steel trades to-day the Jron Age says: Following the statement by the leading producer one ween ago that it had raised the price of steel bars 12 a ton, or to 2.60 c., Pittsburgh, the same interest has announced similar advances in wire products and in con tract plates and structural shapes. In a slow market—from the domes tic standpoint—these advances have given little stimulus to buying. Manufacturing consumers of steel are facing smaller demand for their products, in view of high prices. Im plement makers count on a 25 per cent, falling off in their sales and pos sibly more. They contend that bars should be reduced rather than ad vanced. It is understood that recent con tracts for bars for Europe provide that the full tonnage must be taken out, if not in bars, then iu plates, shapes or other products. A noncancellation proviso has also been inserted In cer tain contracts with buyers at home. The greater part of the forglngs and bars required for the large shell con tracts recently placed with five im portant companies amounting to nearly $100,000,000 —has been bought, but Europe is still asking for steel for this year's delivery, which few mills are able to take on. Two large Eastern interests are in the position of having to reserve capacity for Gov ernment orders of which there is no definite assurance as yet. Mills in Pittsburgh, Chicago and intervening districts report maximum losses in output from tne excessive heat of the past week. The falling off in production of one Chicago interest has been as high as 1000 tons a day. In spite of the curtailment of ship ments on this account in July, a re duction in Steel Corporation orders in the month has been indicated. Railroad buying has been in a rut for weeks and promised car inquiries are withheld. For the Havana Rail way a 5000-ton rail order has been taken at Chicago and 10,000 tons more for Cuba is wanted.
