PROOF FROM MASON
Ask Reprosentative to 'Back UpCharg.
es of Big Thefts From Government
Washington, 'June 2.-B. M. Baruch
former chairman of the w-ar industries
board, wrote to Representative Mason
Repu'blican, Illinois, today, asking thai
he submit at once to congress and the
attorney general the evidence which
prompted him to charge in the house
recently that Mr. Baruch had "stole1
$50,000,000 from the government in
copper- alone."
.Mr. Baruch further demanded that
he .be "immediately 'brought to the
bar of Justice and condemned to -pun
Ishment if found guilty and exonerat
ed if innocent from the infamous and
malicious charge you make againsi
111e."
Mr. lason In a letter of reply made
public tonight said that since looking
over his previous statement, he -would
amend it to say that "you and your
associates stole $200,000,000 in cop
per alone." He added that the mattei
in which lie based his charges al
ready was before congress in connec
tion with the investigation of war ex
penditures.
"You certainly do not expect me to
present this matter .to your particti
lar friend, Mr. 'Palmer, atttorney gen
eral," Mr. Alason said, 'and added:
"I shall, if X live. ask the attorney
general of -the United States, after
Alarch 4, 1921, to proceed, civilly and
criminally against you and your as
sociates."
Declaring that Mr. Baruch when
head of the war industries board had
appointed a cooperative committee on
Copper with John 'D. Ryan of New
York, as chairman, and president and
owners of copper producing plants in
the U. S. as members. Mr. 'Mason
charged that this committee had al
lowed copper producers to buy at one
price and sell at another. lie n1l
charged that the committee after the
war permitted 100,000,000 pounds of
ciipper which file government, he said
purchased at 23 cents a pound, to he
sold back to the producers at 15 cents
a pound.
In addition to 'writing to Mr. Mason,
Mr. 'aruch wrote to .Representative
Garrett, Democrat, Tennessee, and
Representative ludspedth, Democrat,
Texas. in his letter to Mr. Garrett,
he asked the Tennessee member "to
demand of Mr. Mason that as he made
that statement under -the protection
the constitution givcs the congress,
he should do either of two things: .-c
must use his utmost ability both as a
member of the congress 'and as a pri
vate citizen to see that I am prose
cuted to the limit of the law If lie be
right, and, if lie 'be wrong, lie must
make an apology as full as was his
charge. It is albout time that these
~Borgia-lilce assassins of character
cease their work, or accept the re
sponsibility of their actions."
In his letter to Mr. Hudspeth 'Mr.
Unriclh sail that lie hoped "through
the activities of you and those o1
your colleagues, regardless of their
political faiths, who believe in fair
play, to be afforded the op~portumnity of
branding the charge as a vicious andt
deliberate lie in its every respect."

NEW YORK CENSUS
NOT AS EXPECTED
Rate of Growth Snmller Than Be.
fore.
Washington, June 5.-aNew York city
had a tpopulation of 5,621,1'51, on Janu
ary 2, an increase of 854,268, or 17.9
per cent. over 1910, the census bu
reau announced tonight. The rate of
growth was smaller than ever before
In the city's history except in -the de
cade ending in 1870, while the increase
numerically was smaller in either of
the two decades preceding 1910.
The latest estimate of the -population
of the city and county of 'London,
made in 1917, was 4,026,901, a decrease
from the omcial census of 1911, which
showed a population of 4,521,885. Con
parison of the population of Now York
city with that of London is declared
by. census bureau officials to -be dif
ficult because of the .areas covered by
the various- designations of the two
cities. New York city proper covers
287 square miles, while For census
purposes the city and cou'nty of Lon
don covers 1116 square mniles.
The small increase in the growth of
the city of New York during the past
decade is attributed by census officials
to the almost complete stoppage dur
ing the war of the influx of iimi
grants, many of whom each year
made New York their homes, and to
the heavy emigration of foreign born
residents during the twar and since
that time.
New York boroughs were shown as
follows:
Manhattan, 2,284,103, decrease .17,
-139, or 2.0 per cent.
Bronx, 732,010, increase 301,036, or
69.8 per cent.
Brooklyn, 2,022,262, increase 387,
91-1, or 23.7 per cent.
Richmond, 115,959, increase 29,990,
or 31.9 per cent.
Queens, .166,811, increase 1S2,770, or
G4.3 per cent.
Other cities were as follows:
Boston, 747,923, Increase, 77,338, or
111.5 per cent.
Newport News, Va., 35,596, increase
1'1,311, or 76.2 -per cent.
New Britain, Conn., 59,316, increase
15,400, or 35.1 per cent.
.\Manchester, 'Conn., 18,370, increase
4,729 or 31.7 per cent.
Buffalo, 82,160, increase 19.5 per
cent.
