FOR REFUSAL

AND ONLY ASKED FOR STA
TISTICAL PURPOSES.

Washington.-On Tuesday the Pres
ident issued a proclamation calling
upon all citizens Of the country to
rent census a success,
The text of the proclamation fol-
lows
By the President of the United States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION
Whereas, By the Act of Congress
approved July I'd, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the fif-
teenth day of April, nineteen hundred
and ten; and
Whereas, A correct enumeration Of
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution of the
United States for the purpose of deter
mining the representation Of the sew
eral states in the House of Represen-
tatives; and
Whereas, 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance to the interests Of all the people
of the United States that this census
Should be complete and accurate re-
port of the population and resources
Of the country:
Now, therefore, I, William Howard
Taft, President of the United States
Of America, do hereby declare and
make known that, under the act afore-
said, it is the duty of every person to
answer all questions on the census
schedules applying to him and the
family to which he belongs, and to the
farm occupied by him or his family,
and that any adult refusing to do so is
subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and resources
of the country, and replies are re-
quired from individuals only in order
to permit the compilation of such gen.
eral statistics. The census has moth
ing to do with taxation, with army or
Jury service, with the compulsion Of
school attendance, with the regulation
of immigration, or with the enforce
ment of any national, state, or local
law or ordinance, nor can any person
be harmed in any way by furnishing
Tue lSluil cu- hCi hcSu
be no fear that any disclosure will be
made regarding any individual person
or his affairs. For the due protection
of the rights and interests of the per-
son furnishing information every en-
ploye of the Census Bureau is prohib-
tied, under heavy penalty, from dis
closing any information which may
thus come to his knowledge.
/ therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complete
ly and accurately all inquiries ad-
dressed to them by the enumerators or
other employees of the census bureau,
and thereby to contribute their share
toward making this great and neces-
sary public undertaking success
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and seal and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city Of Washington
this 18th day of March, A. d. One
Thousand Nine Hundred Ten and OF
the independence of the United States
of America the One Hundred Thirty

1t will be observed that there is still a vacancy in the Eighth district It is due to the disposal Of his prop erty by Councilman Alma Millett. to NJ. O. Swallow. after the call had been issued for the recent election. so that Mir. Millett is no longer qualified to serve. 4 number of the voters in the district sought to elect Mir Swallow to succeed MT. Millett and cast 1036 votes for him. The board yesterday decided that 1t could not countenance the vote on account of the precedent it would establish. There is no doubt but that MT. Swallow would make a good councilman. but the board not having issued call to fill such a vacancy. the major part of the voters in the district may not have been aware of it. or of the candidacy of, Mir. Swallow and had they been so informed, officially. they might have chosen some one else. Such a prece- dent would make possible. planned coup of that sort on some occasion vixen for a purpose coterie of men might desire the election of some par ticular person. It was felt that with the other two members of the coun- cil the district would not materially suffer for lack of representtion.
 Following are the figures shown by the canvass:

It was evident that the violent rise of prices yesterday brought into the mar ket large selling orders both for the home and the foreign account. and sioe by side these was an influx If further buying orders. The latter were be- lieved to be largely for the short ac- count. the bears becoming alarmed at the sudden rise in prices The toning down of the first effects of the supreme courts action was due more to the conservative view taken of it's effect by the financial and business com munity. than by the stock market ele- ment. It is believed that every large corporation will feel itself prescribed in the plans and scope of it's activities until the questions at issue shall he definitely settled. An early decision would have been preferred to the in definite postponement involved in the rehearing of the cases. Other news de- were of mixed effect. The resort to arbitration by the parties in the New York Central wage dispute was confirmatory of the confidence that labor troubles will find a settle ment without widespread strikes this year. The prospects of agreements in the soft coal mining controversies have deepened that conviction.
