st.*t*-d that there were nearly 7.A00 num*-*

It wul*l Ik* In some d#*gr#* facilitate, he

what would be done In th** matter. Chair

Inquiry Is being made as to why the fig

have not been mode public, the figures
for moss of the other cities in this section
having already been given out. But>ervl*or
111 tin was asked yestetday If he could ex
plain the delay.
"The figure* arc probably being made up
according to the order In which the re
torts were received." said Mr Hlun. "The
schedules for Savannah were probably late
In arriving ns 1 held them here for
time In order to check over carefully with
view to making the census for Savan
nah ns accurate as iKtssllde. The official
figures should he announced In few days.
All the enumerators have re. civ ml their
pay so far as I am aware. The last bin
one to turn In his schedule informed me
a week ago that he had received hi*
check."
While th** official figures have not been
given out as yet It ran be stated on pretty
good authority that Savannah’s showing
of population will le between &4.<><o and
STi.OOO. Mr Stinson, of Director Mer
rlam's staff. who was In the city last
month, mad. the statement voluntarily
that Savannah's population would be
shown to is* between &4.<WO and fifc.OflO. Mr
Stinson was on his way hack to Washing
ton from Jacksonville, where he had been
sent to look into complaints of citterns
that the city had not been correctly enu
merated lie found this report to be un
founded
Mr Stinson was directed by Director
Mcrrinm to look Into the work of the su
pervisor at Savannah, on a report of dis
satisfaction here, tliough no complaint had
been filed with the bureau. He did so
and approved of the work of Huperrvlsor
Itlun. at the same time making the state

The opinion re##ms to prevail among
military men who follow*d th# evidence
closely in the Harris court-martial and
who listened to the argum# nt* by Capt
J. Ferris Cann for th* accused and Lieut.
David t*. Barrow. Judge advocate, for tht
stat*. that Corpl Harris will be found
guilty upon tnrec charges and dismissed
from Ih* service.
On tha other hand, there arc those who
Insist that the #x>urt cannot. In face of
the evidence* adduced by Ih** defense, find
tlarris guilty. That Is a mailer for the
future io teiermm**, and It Is probable
that It will only be known when th* find
ing of the court Is opened In Atlanta,
where It will Is- sent under seal In the
m# anttm*. however, those of the view
that th* a< .Hi**d will be onvlcttd are In
the majority.
The tourt may reach a decision next
M*unlay night jn the Hargis cane, but
if is probable that the finding will not
be sent on to Asltnta before tiie conclu
sion of the cases thut yet remain for
trl.il These ar*- against Corpl Brown and
Private Walker, of Company F of the
First Hotialion. colored. Among On
charges against the men is that of having
“cursed out the company in general.** Pri
vate Brinson was to have l*e#-n trl#*d also,
but the Judge advo#*at* *!#-• *b*l the #*vi
dern e did not warrant his being arraigned,
and for that r#ason the charges will Ik*
withdrawn
The * olored people, especially those to
whom the accused m**n arc known, ar*’
greatly lnterst#*d In the outcom#* of the
ttlal b< fore the white officers, but th** In
let eat In the Harris case overshadows
that In the others News from Atlanta,
after th*- finding is sent on. will le eager
ly watched for.
If Harris Is convicted of the charges of
cursing his superior officer, escaping from
under arrest and being absent from hts
company without leave, th* officer* most
deeply concerned In his prosecution will
