Literacy here is higher than in any other city In the United States, and the proportion of foreign born is among the lowest. Although the next census is expected to show some incease- in the proportion of negroes here, it is expected to be slight.

The proportion of literacy among negroes in St. Louis, as compared elsewhere, is relatively high. There are so few members of other races named that they do not appreciably effect the totals. There are only forty -seven Japanese here, thirty-three Indians, and 328 Chinese. None of these has applied for public charity during the past year.

Income: Exact information on incomes is not readily available, but estimates by the Chamber of Commerce show the average income per person as $1,024, and per family as $4,192.

Gordon S75 and was asked only two questions on his second ex amination, Ed ward Fenner testified today in Judge Butler's Court of Criminal Correction, George L. Reno, former chief city boiler George L. Reno. inspector, is on trial on a charge of misconduct in office. "The first time I appeared before the Board of Engineers at the City Hall on April 19.

1928, Reno (secretary of the board) asked me the horsepower of a Corliss engine, 38x 42," testified Fenner, who works as an engineer for a laundry. "When I told him I would have to have the steam pressure and piston travel to answer, Reno gave me back my $5 examination fee and told me to 'go and learn "Then Reno told me to go over to Gordon's desk and Gordon's stenographer gave me a telephone number to call at 6 p. m. I called the number and found it was Gordon's home. Gordon told me to come out and see him.

Told Gordon He Failed. had heard that you had to put up money at the City Hall to grease the machinery in order to get a license. I told Gordon I failed the examination, and said, 'I guess I'll have to have your okay before I can and he replied, "That's about right. It'll cost you "I went back to Gordon's home several days later and gave Km $75 cash and two promissory notes for $40 and $35. He gave me a typewritten list of thirty questions and answers." "Did you study them?" William Maf'itt Bates, defense counsel, asked.

"No, I Just carried them around in my pocket. I knew everything that was in them. On April 19, I went back to Gordon and he sent me down to the Board of Engineers to take the examination. J. Kellogg (a board member) drew a picture of a pump and asked me something about the pump.

Then Reno asked me what I'd do if the pump stopped up. I told him, and he said, 'That's right. "'You won't blow up the first plant you operate if I give you a license, will you? he asked me. I said 'No, and then he turned to Brake Service and Br Staff Photographer. In the center is Mis Thelma FUnnlgan of Centra lia, 111, who was chosen queen at the annual Pageant of Progress at East St.

"The following winter Mr. Hamilton (one of the defendants), an assistant smoke inspector, came to see me and we had a conversation.

As a result of that conversation I went back to see Gordon in June, 1928. He wanted to raise the price then to $250 and said he would guarantee me a license in two weeks. I again let the matter drop, as I did not see how I could raise that much money. "Last March I went down to see Reno and told him I wanted to take the examination. He asked if I had an application filed and found that I had.

He called me for the examination on March 28. 1929, and twenty-two questions were asked. Although I figured I had answered all but one correctly, I was rejected. Reno told me that I would have to stud ythe books a little longer before I could pass the board." The state is depending chiefly on these applicants for licenses to prove its case against the defendants. The crime charged is a misdemeanor, with a maximum punishment on conviction of a $1,000 fine and a year in the workhouse.

The occupation, religion, and race of St. Louisans was made the subject of an inquiry by a reporter today. From various sources he collected the following facts: Occupation: Figures compiled by the Chamber of Commerce and the Industrial Club show the place of employment of citizens. They reveal the occupation of 100 individuals who live here, as follows: 40 Stores 14 Clerical 12 V.V.V.V.. Domestic 9 Transport 5 Professional 3 .7.7.7..

It has found that out of every 100 persons here there are: 50 Protestants 42 7.77. 6 Jews 2 Other or no faith The Protestant population here Is estimated at 430.898, the Catholic at 365.202, the Jewish at 51,000 and the miscellaneous groups at 10,000.

Race: Census figures were analyzed with regard to the race of citizens here. They show that out Kellogg and said, 'Give this man a "Did you know any more about engineering the second time you took the test than you did the first?" Prosecuting Attorney Schweitzer asked. "No." Gordon is not a member of the Board of Engineers. He and Kellogg are also under indictment and waiting trial, as are Theodore T. Hamilton, a deputy of Reno, and Frank Altman, a member of the board.

Needed More Schooling. The second state witness was James J. Sellers, 3612 Missouri avenue, one of the witnesses by whom the state plans to show that the engineers' board failed to pass qualified stationary engineers who did not pay for Gordon's course of instruction. "I applied for a license March 30, 1927, and paid the $5 ee," said Sellers. "I had to get some recommendations and have some papers fixed up and I was not called for examination until August 4, 1927.

Reno was there and a one-armed man whose name I did not know. Reno questioned me. "After he was through he asked me If I had any friends in the City Hall and I told him I had not. He told me then that he would refer me to Mr. Gordon, that I needed more schooling and education.

"Oh, the second, or third or fourth day. I don't know which.

Actions Suggestive. "How many were in the play?" "Fernandez, Solita Deyo and the pianist." "Can you describe the play and the action?" "The play consisted of singing and dancing and dialog. Fernandez was the singer, Solita Deyo, she was the dancer and there was a dialog between Fernandez and Solita Deyo." "Can't you go into details and tell us what was done by each person in the act?" "Well. I believe Solita Deyo had some dialog with Fernandez, then she did a little dance. The theme of the play as I looked at it was that she was trying to conquer the prince of Hollywood." "Well, what did she do to elucidate her charms?" The prosecution objected and was sustained.

She was very nervous and excita. I was sitting with my coat on my lap and I didn't have any vest on. She hesitated to answer. "Again I say 'will you please hurry up and tell me what you want. I got to go She said 'You know what I want." I said 'X do not know what you Then with that she reached over and grabbed my tie with her left hand.

Then as I raised up in my chair she raised up in her's and reached over with her right hand and slammed the door shut. It was partly open at the time." She Was Nearest Door. "She was seated nearest the door and I was clear at the inside." "Then what happened?" Pantages, with head inclined to- ward the Jury, wiped his hands with i his handkerchief and continued "Then there was a scuffle. She disarranged my clothes. I struggled and finally got to the door and managed to get behind her in such a position as to put her out of the room.

While I was putting her out she fell into the door Jamb." Pantages stepped down from the witness stand and, using the door to the Judges' chambers to illustrate, took hold of his hips with his own hands and demonstrated Just how he said he had sent the girl out of the room. "I tried to be Just as polite as possible," he went on. "She was holding back on the door, but finally I got a good hold of her and she slid down." "Did you see where she went?" his attorney asked. "No." "Did she scream?" "Yes, she yelled when against the door jamb." "What was she doing when you last saw her? Was she still on the mezzanine platform outside the little room?" "Yes, I believe she was." "Where did you go?" "I went to my office. I was too much you know too much "Too much what?" "Well.

I was stunned. I was surprised. I didn't know what to say nor what to do. I didn't know how to act." "When you returned to your office, what did you do?" "I washed my face, then went back to the desk, and my secretary was there. I walked through to the auditors' room adjoining and sat down."
