A COIUIHCTIOX
The following communication, of
Interest to the parties concerned
addressed to the editor of The Citi-
zen, is given a place in justice to
the party aggrieved, our corres
pondent having evidently been mis
informed; but we do not believe
that any intentional misstatement
was made in the item complained
of:
Dear Sir: In answer to an article
Published
In The Citizen of April
21st, under Maplewood items, stat
ing that the pupils taking the com
mon school diploma examination at
Sterling were charged 20 cents each
for the return of the papers, we
wish to say that the statement is
a downright falsehood. We con
sider It an outrageous Insult to the
young lady who conducted these
examinations. We have proof that
the postage on the papers amounted
to 72 cents which, divided among
the twelve applicants, results in a
fee of 6 cents each. Only one of
the applicants has paid this fee to
the examiner and that one was not
the one who made the kick. The
examiner herself paid the entire
postage. Therefore, this ought to
be sufficient proof that there was
no graft connected with the trans
action. JACOB V. CREVELING.
Sterling, Pa., April 26, 1909.
Women as Mayors.
America had women as mayors be
fore England, Australia or even New
Zealand. In the four States where
women have full suffrage It la, not
rare for women to be elected as may
ors In small cities and give good ser
vice. A woman was mayor of Gaylor,
Kan., for two terms and declined a
third election. She prided herself on
the fact that more miles of sidewalk
were laid In her administration than
in that of any previous mayor. Her
husband always expressed himself as
pleased that she should bold the office,
and even her worst enemies never
said that she neglected her children
or the duties of her household. The
offico kept her busy about an hour
each day.

lowest class of story tellers you will
find seated on the street-corners with
a crowd of coolies around them. The
jhigher class are formod Into guilds,
JaWdVlhese Pre hired to go to private
ilioijtleB to amuse the guests. Somo-
Ums they will be In demand at two
v0t 'tnreo bouses In one evening, thus
'ptcVTng up several dollars. Unless he
teller cannot becomo a member of the
guild. Translations from English
tales are now extremely popular with
the Japanese,

President May Let Census
Director Keep Place.
SECRETARY NAGEL DISPLEASED
Tabulating Machine Company, With
Big Contract, Said to Be Back
of the Plan to Oust
Official.
Washington, April 27. It Is reported
that Dr. S. X. D. Xorth, director of the
census, Is to be nllowed to retain his
position, Senator Root haviug nctlvely
Interposed and Inclined President Tuft
to sustain the director against Secre
tary Xagel of the department of com
merce and labor. Senator Root has
known Dr. Xorth many years.
It is said that Dr. North's plan to
have the census bureau make its. own
tabulating machines has aroused the
auger and opposition of the tabulating
machine company whose machines the
bureau Is now using. This company
Is asserted to be back of the plan to
oust Mr. North.
About the capltol, where Mr. North
has many .strong and Influential
friends. It is said that President Taft
lias lieen led to understand the ulterior
motives of those who seek to have
Mr. North removed and that when
Secretary Nagle knows all the circum
stances he will withdraw his opposi
tion to North's continuance in office.
The official settlement of the affalt
is awaited with the keenest interest,
particularly by those persons who
were "on the Inside" through the last
national campaign.
Secretary Nagel said today:
"The census Is not a joke. It is a
big thing, of vital Importance to the
department, the administration and
the country. If I am to share the
responsibility I want the authority
that goes with it. That is simply the
case in a nutshell.
"If congress shall see fit to place the
responsibility and authority wltll the
director of the census I shall cheer
fully abide by Its decision. But If I
a in to be a sharer In the responsibility
I do not well see how It can be other
wise as matters stand, and I want the
authority that goes with it.
"Director North nnd I went before
a congressional committee together.
He knew my position then. His posi
tion developed, nnd the matter was
brought to a focus. Nothing was left
but to lay the situation before the
president, and I laid It there."

San Franciscan Outclassed From Start
In Twelve Round Fight.
New Huveu,, Conn., April 27.
Frankle Nell of San Francisco was
bested by Owen Moran of England In
twelve hard rounds here. He was
outclassed from the start when lie
went through the ropes from a left
hand drive by Morau. Time and again
Nell looked as If he would be knocked
out, but he was game and came back
With n rush.
Moran flulshed without a scratch,
but his opponent was budly cut up
about the face. The men were to have
fought at 124 pounds, but Moran re
fused to weigh In and lost bis forfeit,
Nell weighed .121, and Moran looked to
be many pounds heavier.
It was a whirlwind fight from be
ginning to end, both lads continually
rushing. Moran, however, was able to
use his left with success through Nell's
guard, and be several times put -the
latter against tho ropes.
Nell played for Moran's ribs and
stomach, and in the clinches was
handy with "both hands. In trie fourth
Nell was almost out, but came back
fresh In' tho fifth. In the .last three
rounds Moran hammered Nell savngo-
ly, but could not give the deciding
blow.
