SUCCESSOR NAMED (I!y AsHoclatcil Press.) WASHINGTON, May 26. 8. N. D. North,, director of the census, has ten dered his resignation to President nnd it was accepted today. Hip res ignation is a direct result of ills re cent controversy with Secretary of Commerce and Iabor Nugel. The following statement in connc Oon with the case was given out at tho white house: "Director North tendered his resig nation as director of the census. It was accepted and the name of Mr. E Dana Durand. now deputy commis sioner of corporations, will be sent into the senate to succeed him. Mr. North's resignation was based on the ground that on account of conditions existing and likely to continue, his administration of the census office wculvi not probably be suci-essful. It has been supposed up to within the last few days that the control crsy between Secretary Nagel and Direc tor North had been amicably adjust ed. The friction betwen the two con tinued, however, and at last Secretary Nage! put the matter wiuarely up to President Taft saying that either he or Mr. North would have to leave the service as existing conditions be tween them were impossible. Director North held to the belief that the census bureau was an inde pendent institution and that he was lespnnsible only to the president. A congressional enactment put the cen sus bureau under the department of commerce nnd labor, however, and Secretary Nage! felt that In spite of the great powers conferred by con -gress upon the -Jlrector that ofTlcl il should be subordinate to the cabinet ( fficer in charge of the department. It was because of this friotlon that Di rector North was forced to Btep out.

President Tuft (Icelan d that never at any time has the future of the negro, as a race, appeared more hopeful and bright than at the present day. The presl dent Impressed upon IiIh hearers th' fact that It Is for the negroes tin m selves to work out their own futurt and to make themselves valuable citi zens In the communities In which the live. In the course of his addres. presi dent Taft said: "I am delighted to think, because I have been In the South a good dea' of late and have studied some of th' conditions there that they are getting better and lx tier for the negro race lr certain respects that are not published to the world but that really affect ver much the conditions of those who llv there.
