CENSUS FIGURES IN CALIFORNIA ANALYZED TABULATED STATEMENTS FORM BASIS OF NEWLY ISSUED REPORT 46 PER CENT OF TOTAL POPULATION ARE NATIVE—21 PER CENT FOREIGN BORN The first population bulletin for California gave the number of inhabitants by counties and minor civil division, the decennial increase and the density of population, and the proportions urban and rural. A bulletin just received at this office from the Department of Commerce and Labor, deals with the composition and characteristics of the population. The two bulletins cover all the principal topics of the population census except occupations and ownership of homes. Since marked differences often exist between urban and rural communities with respect to the composition and characteristics of the population, the two classes are distinguished in connection with several of the subjects. Urban population, as defined by the Bureau of the Census, includes that of all incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more, the remainder being classified as rural. The Census Bureau classifies as illiterate any person 10 years of age or over who is unable to write, regardless of ability to read. Of the total population of California, 1,106,533, or 46.5 per cent, are native of the foreign-born white population of California, persons born in Germany represent 14.8 per cent; Italy, 12.3; Ireland, 10.1; England, 9.4; Canada, 8.6; Mexico, 6.5; Sweden, 5.1; Portugal, 4.3; France, 3.4; Austria, 3.3; Russia, 3.2; all other countries, 18.8 per cent. Of the total white stock of foreign origin, which includes persons born abroad and also natives having one or both parents born abroad, Germany contributed 17.9 per cent; Ireland, 13.8; England, 10; Italy, 8.9; Canada, 8.4; Portugal, 4.5; Mexico, 4.4; Sweden, 4; France, 2.8; Scotland, 2.8; Switzerland, 2.4; Russia, 2.4; Denmark, 2.3 per cent. The total number of males 21 years of age and over is 920,397, representing 38.7 per cent of the population. Of such males, 40 per cent are native whites of native parentage, 19.7 per cent native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 32.3 per cent foreign-born whites, 6.5 per cent Chinese and Japanese, 0.9 per cent negroes, and 0.5 per cent Indians. Of the 297,365 foreign-born white males of voting age, 137,274, or 46.2 per cent, are naturalized. Males of militia age—18 to 44—number 665,522. Of the total population, 8.1 per cent are under 5 years of age, 14.7 per cent from 5 to 14 years, inclusive, 18 per cent from 15 to 24, 35.7 per cent from 25 to 44, and 23.1 per cent 45 years and over. The proportion of children is low among the foreign-born whites, negroes, Chinese, and Japanese. Only 4.2 per cent of the foreign-born whites are under 15 years of age, while 82.9 per cent are 25 years of age and over. Of the native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 47.5 per cent are 25 and over, and of the native whites of native parentage, 52.9 per cent. The urban population shows a smaller proportion of children than the rural and a larger proportion of persons in the prime of life. Migration to the city explains this at least in... The total population of California, 1,106,533, or 46.5 per cent, are native whites of native parentage; 635,889, or 26.8 percent, are native whites of foreign or mixed parentage; and 517,250, or 21.8 per cent, are foreign-born whites. The corresponding percentages in 1900 were 43.4, 29.7, and 21.3, respectively, the proportion of native whites of native parentage increasing somewhat during the decade. In 1910 Japanese constituted 1.7 per cent of the population; Chinese, 1.5; negroes, 0.9; and Indians, 0.7. In 8 of the 58 counties the foreign-born whites represent as much as one-fourth of the population, the percentage being highest (32) in San Mateo. The proportion of native whites of foreign or mixed parentage exceeds one-fourth in 24 counties and is highest in San Francisco county (36.9 per cent). Of the urban population, 44.4 per cent are native whites of native parentage; of the rural, 50 per cent. The corresponding proportions for native whites of foreign or mixed parentage are 28.8 and 23.5 per cent, respectively; for foreign-born whites 22.6 and 20.4 per cent. The percentage of Chinese and Japanese is 3 in the urban and 3.8 in the rural. In the total population of the state there are 1,322,978 males and 1,054,571 females, or 125.5 males to 100 females. In 1900 the ratio was 123.5 to 100. Among native whites the ratio is 108.7 to 100 and among foreign-born whites, 169.6 to 100. In the urban population there are 113.6 males to 100 females, and in the rural, 147.8. Of the native population—that is, population born in the United States—50.5 per cent were born in California and 49.5 per cent outside the state; of the native white population, 49.9 per cent were born outside the state; of the native negro, 75.6 per cent; and of the native Indian, 6.4 per cent. Persons born outside the state constitute a larger proportion of the native population in urban than in rural communities. There are 74,902 illiterates in the state, representing 3.7 per cent of the total population 10 years of age and over, as compared with 4.8 per cent in 1900. The percentage of illiteracy is 0.5 among native whites, 10 among foreign-born whites, 7.1 among negroes, 49 among Indians, 15.5 among Chinese, and 8.6 among Japanese. For all classes combined, the percentage of illiterates is 2.4 in urban communities and 5.9 in rural. For each class separately, the rural percentage exceeds the urban, the differences in some cases being very marked. For persons from 10 to 20 years of age, inclusive, whose literacy depends largely upon present school facilities and school attendance, the percentage of illiteracy is 1.7. In the population 15 years of age and over, 45.8 per cent of the males are single and 27.9 per cent of the females. The percentage married is low among the foreign-born whites, negroes, Chinese, and Japanese. Only 4.2 per cent of the foreign-born whites are under 15 years of age, while 82.9 per cent are 25 years of age and over. Of the native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 47.5 per cent are 25 and over, and of the native whites of native parentage, 52.9 per cent. The urban population shows a smaller proportion of children than the rural and a larger proportion of persons in the prime of life. Migration to the city explains this at least in part. Of the urban population, 37.3 per cent are from 25 to 44 years of age, inclusive, and of the rural, 32.9 per cent. The total number of school age—that is, from 6 to 20 years, inclusive—is 555,554, of whom 361,077, or 65 per cent, attended school. In addition to these, 6,788 children under 6 and 9,801 persons of 21 and over attended school. For boys from 6 to 20 years, inclusive, the percentage attending school was 63.1; for girls, 67. For children from 6 to 14 years, inclusive, the percentage attending school was 86.9. The percentage for children of this age among native whites of native parentage was 87.4; among native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 88.1; among foreign-born whites, 82.3; among negroes, 88.4; among Indians, 61.4; among Chinese, 70.1; and among Japanese, 61.5. For all classes combined, the percentage attending school is somewhat higher in urban than in rural communities. There are 74,902 illiterates in the state representing 3.7 per cent of the total population 10 years of age and over as compared with 4.8 per cent in 1900. The percentage of illiteracy is 0.5 among native whites, 10 among foreign-born whites, 7.1 among negroes, 49 among Indians, 15.5 among Chinese, and 8.6 among Japanese. For all classes combined, the percentage of illiterates is 2.4 in urban communities and 5.9 in rural. For each class separately, the rural percentage exceeds the urban,the differences in some cases being very marked. For persons from 10 to 20 years of age inclusive whose literacy depends largely upon present school facilities and school attendance,the percentage of illiteracy is 1.7.

FISCHLE PROPRIETOR 47.3 for males and 58.4 for females; and the percentage widowed 4.4 and 12.2, respectively. The percentages of those reported as divorced, 1 and 1.3, respectively, are believed to be too small, because of the probability that many divorced persons class themselves as single or widowed. That the percentage single is so much smaller for women than for men is due partly to the excess of males in the total population, and partly to the fact that women marry younger. Thus 9.1 per cent of the females from 15 to 19 years of age are married, as compared with 0.6 per cent of the males; and 47.2 per cent of the females from 20 to 24 years are married, as compared with 14.8 per cent of the males. In the next age group, 25 to 34 years, the percentages are 72.4 and 46, respectively. In the age group 35 to 44 the difference is less marked, while among those aged 45 and over the percentage for males exceeds that for females. That there is a larger proportion of widows than of widowers may indicate that men more often remarry than women, but, since husbands are generally older than their wives, the marriage relationship is more often broken by death of the husband than by death of the wife. The total number of dwellings in California is 513,481, and the total number of families 563,636, there being 109.8 families to each 100 dwellings. The average number of persons per dwelling is 4.6, and the average number per family, 4.2. SUSPECT THIS MAN OF BEING WHITE SLAVER Made Love to Many Santa Ana Girls, in Jail For Thirty Days Suspecting that George Worthington, the man now serving a sentence of thirty days in the county jail for not having a required state license number on an automobile that he was operating, is in reality interested in if not actually engaged in the "white slave" traffic, the district attorney's office and Sheriff Ruddock's force are conducting an investigation that they believe may lead to something more tangible than their own suspicions. It is known that Worthington devoted most of his time, if not all of it, while he has been in Santa Ana, in cultivating the acquaintance of girls and young women, to whom he is alleged to have made ardent love, invariably promising matrimony as his object in view. One case in particular has already been unearthed where a young woman, employed in a public institution, is reported to have received the attentions of Worthington, but whose attentions to her were objected to by the management of the place. Worthington professed deepest devotion and talked glibly of marriage, but no marriage ceremony has ever been performed in the case. Reports of similar escapades in which the prisoner figured, have come to the attention of District Attorney West and Sheriff Ruddock, and they are determined that no stone shall be left unturned to bring to light everything that may serve as proof that Worthington is the worst sort of a male member of humanity. Securing proof is hard in such cases, owing to the reluctance, usually, of the women in the case, to give testimony. Furth- SUPERVISORS IN REGULAR SESSION Franchise Granted to Anaheim Union Water Co. For Laying Cement Pipe Line Along Carolina Avenue The board met in regular session on Tuesday. Present, Supervisors T. B. Talbert, chairman; H. E. Smith, Wm. Schumacher, Fred W. Struck, Jasper Leck and Clerk Williams. Demands on the County of Orange were allowed as read. The bid of the Anaheim Union Water Company of $100.00 for a franchise to lay a cement pipe line along Carolina avenue and Palm drive was accepted, and ordinance No. 95, granting said franchise, was adopted and the bond of the Anaheim Union Water Company for $1,000.00 was approved. The board met pursuant to adjournment on Wednesday. All members and the clerk present. The petition of Westminster School District, to be annexed to Huttington Beach Union High School District, was granted. The demands of Robert Beyrle for $525.00 and of Pacific Gasoline Company for $4.00 were ordered cancelled, being illegal. The superintendent of schools was permitted to purchase the necessary school warrants for two years. The superintendent of schools was permitted to have the Sunset Telephone Company install a desk phone in his office, and the clerk was directed to have the Home Telephone Company install a desk phone in the committee room. The petition of Charles Eygabroad, et al., for the formation of a protection district was referred to the county surveyor and district attorney. The hearing of the viewers' report on the petition of the Stern Realty Company, et al., was set for April 2, 1913, at 11 A.M. Bids were received for improvements in the surveyor's office and highway commissioners' office as follows: A. C. Black bid, $736.50; C. Neill bid, $745.00; C. M. Jordan bid, $700.00. The bid of C. M. Jordan was accepted. Bids were received for painting the court house roof as follows: F. H. McElree bid $730.00. The bid of F. H. McElree was accepted. The petition of F. E. Farnsworth, et Reports of similar escapades in which the prisoner figured, have come to the attention of District Attorney West and Sheriff Ruddock, and they are determined that no stone shall be left unturned to bring to light everything that may serve as proof that Worthington is the worst sort of a male member of humanity. Securing proof is hard in such cases, owing to the reluctance, usually, of the women in the case, to give testimony. Furthermore, it is not certain that Worthington made such progress as would warrant his arrest on a "white slavery" charge. It is frankly admitted by the authorities and Justice Cox that Worthington's confinement is based on mere technicalities; but this was done to hold him until his operations can be thoroughly reviewed. He was charged with driving an auto without a number, although the machine is the property of a Los Angeles man. Usually a fine is imposed for this dereliction, but in Worthington's case the justice gave him all the law allowed. FULLERTON U.H.S. DEDICATES BUILDING Palatial Eductional Structure of Neighboring City Viewed by Many The exercises dedicating the Fullerton Union High School group of building took place in the auditorium building last Wednesday evening, before a large, enthusiastic and interested audience which nearly filled the main part of this spacious building and packed the gallery, about 900 being present. All the buildings were lighted up and thrown open to the inspection of the public between 6:30 and 7:30 in the evening, and many people availed themselves of this opportunity of seeing this splendid high school plant, now almost fully completed, at a cost of about $253,000.00. At 7:45 the high school orchestra, under the directorship of Miss Laura M. Wood, began the program with a pleasing rendition of (a) "Men of Yost," (b) "The Girl That Threw Me Down," (c) "Aloha" and (d) "Good Night, Dear." After the invocation of E. J. Statom, pastor of the Presbyterian church, the High School Girls' Glee Club, with Miss Myrtle Bartlett as leader, gave two well-rendered songs: (a) "Song of the Sea" and (b) a school song to the tune of "Heidel- Bids were received for improvements in the surveyor's office and highway commissioners' office as follows: A. C. Black bid, $736.50; C. Neill bid, $745.00; C. M. Jordan bid, $700.00. The bid of C. M. Jordan was accepted. Bids were received for painting the court house roof as follows: F. H. McElree bid $730.00. The bid of F. H. McElree was accepted. The petition of F. E. Farnsworth, et al., of Newport road district for a highway 60 feet wide, was granted, deeds having been given for the right of way. The petition of F. E. Farnsworth, et al., of Newport and Newhope road districts for a highway 50 feet wide was granted, deeds having been given for the right of way. The petition of L. N. Brooks to lay a two-inch water pipe line along certain streets in Laguna Beach was also granted. The petition of H. R. Gulick to lay a water pipe on East First street was granted. A. C. Black was allowed 5 per cent on all extra work performed at the county jail as superintendent. The plans and specifications for partitions in the highway commissioners' room prepared by A. C. Black were adopted and bids for said work to be opened March 18, 1913, at 11 A.M. Upon motion, the board adjourned to March 18, 1913, at 10 A.M. W. B. WILLIAMS, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Woodchopper—I seen a lot o' bear tracks 'bout a mile north o' here—big one, too! Hunter—Good! Which way is south? At 7:45 the high school orchestra, under the directorship of Miss Laura M. Wood, began the program with a pleasing rendition of (a) "Men of Yost," (b) "The Girl That Threw Me Down," (c) "Aloha" and (d) "Good Night, Dear." After the invocation of E. J. Statom, pastor of the Presbyterian church, the High School Girls' Glee Club, with Miss Myrtle Bartlett as leader, gave two well-rendered songs: (a) "Song of the Sea" and (b) a school song to the tune of "Heidelberg." E. L. Drake, president of the board of trustees of the Fullerton Union High School, at this point made some introductory remarks, in which he welcomed those present and reviewed the cost of each building in the group. He said he never thought, when the board entered upon its work, that any such an amount as $253,000.00 would be required or spent, but said the board had gone around and looked at other high school buildings, and the way they were being put up, and they just couldn't help doing the work as they believed it should be done. Mr. Drake closed by introducing Prof. Bunton, who gave an excellent address from the subject, "Building a Modern High School." At the conclusion of Prof. Bunton's address, Adolph Koch favored the audience with a violin solo, "Reverie," so finely played that he was obliged to respond to an encore. The speaker of the evening was Dr. J. Willis Baer, president of Occidental College, and "Some Things Not Found in the Curriculum," formed the basis of some excellent advice the doctor offered the pupils—and parents, too.
