Those who happened to be moon -gaz-
ing Thursday evening about $3.50
O'Clock were treated to a most unusual
and beautiful sight. that of a perfect
lunar rainbow. The bow of brilliant
coloring completely surrounded the
moon in circle about five or six times
the diameter of the moon, and
secondary bow OF less brilliant hues
was also clearly discernable in a still
larger circle. The colors of the pr-
mary bow were almost dazzling in
color and as one spectator remarked,
almost scary" in appearance. Pros

tice and schooling, to attain degree
of perfection that should make him al
most invincib,e. He accomplished the
remarkable feat of winning his first
diving championship, that of Australia
in 1900 when only 16 years old. He
won the title again in 1902, tied for it
in 1905, and then left his native land
for England, where he attended school.
Smyrk' sacquatic ability gathered
him laurels throughout the five years
he spent in England, bith in swimming
and diving. Among the eighty odd
trophies he captured there are two of
the most valued by fancy divers the
world over. Smyrk won the Sir
Claude de Crespigny cup in 1895 and
the Earl of Mansfields trophy in 1906.
swimming he took many school
championships, including the 1OO-yard
championship of the London schools,
which went to his credit both in 1905
and 1906
Smyrks grst championship of Eng
land, that of the Amateur Diving as
sociation, was won in 1906, and the
following year he tied with Johanson
in the contest for the same title. Then
in 1908 he won the trick fancy) div
ing championship. Both in 1906 and
1908 he was chosen to represent Eng
land at the Olympic games, but was
prevented by circumstances.
Smyrk and GaidZik will probably
meet in the competition for the nation
al diving championship of the Anna
teur Athletic union.

Admits Error

CLEVELAND, Mar. 14.-For the Sec
ond time during the inquiry into the
Alaska coal claims here, Clarence Cum
bingham, by whose name the claims
are known, was forced today by the
federal attorneys to admit that he had
made incorrect statements in docu-
ments which he had signed. The first
occasion occurred earlier in the hear
ing when Mr.. Cunningham admitted
that an affidavit, to which he had
sworn, in regard to the interest of
the Guggenheims in the claims was in
correct. At that time he claimed that
the affidavits had been drawn up by
Louis r. CLAWS, and that he had taken
the word of the former government land
agent for the statements contained in
it.
Today, at the final session of the
hearing, he was shown a copy Of a
letter written by him to the United
States land agent at Juneau, Alaska,
asking for maps of the district in
which the coal claims lay, and which
was required before patents could be
issued. In the letter Mr.. Cunningham
said that he had seen the land COM
missioner for the district and that ev-
erything in connection with the claims
was in order and correct. Under cross
examination he admitted that this was
not an exact status of the situation He
said that the language was "unfortu-

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE advent
of Harold Smyrk of Melbourne, Aus
tralia the high and fancy diving div
ing champion of his native country
and of England promises treat to
followers of aquatic sports. Smyrk is
here with the intention of competing
with the leading experts in this coun-
try, and he is not likely to have to
work very hard to arrange dates.
George Gaidzak Of the Chicago A. A.
is unusually anxious to meet Smyrk.
His friends say he will not rest until
he has obtained a chance to let the
enthusiasts of this country compare
his work with that of the Australian.
AT the Olympic games in 1908 in Lon
don, Gaizdik lost the high diving title
under Giro INSTANCES that caused many
unpleasant comments to be made on
the management of the tourney.
Johns II of Sweden, the man who
was given first, was thought by many
present not to have done as good work
as ehe American representative. AS
Smyrk tied with the Swede in diving
for the championship of England,
Gaidzik naturally feels that despite
the uncertainty of divers form
victory over the Australian will go
long way toward proving the claim OF
his friends that he is the best perform-
er in the world.
Smyrk has joined the New York A.
c. and wi wear the Mercury Foot in
all the contests he takes part in while
here However, this was merely done
to facilitate his competing and will in
no way detract from the fact that he
represents the best that England and
Australia can show in the way of
fancy divers. Although Smyrk is only
90 years old he has captured the
highest hOnors in his particular line,
and bids fair, with little more prac-

in which she charges that Coe pre-
tended that a guardian was to be ap-

deed to him for the property and then
refused to re-convey the real estate
to her when she demanded it.
Further interesting charges of the
complaint are that Coe mortgaged the
property to William L. Sterling of
Walla Walla for $500. Mrs. Watson
says that when she demanded the
deed of Coe he turned it over to her

was a married man and asked for
possession of the deed again in order
that his wife might sign it so that
it would be valid. This she did and

Must Answer
All Queries

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Presi-
dent Taft in a proclamation issued
today urges everybody throughout the
United States ito a swer promptly,
completely and accurately all inquir-
les addressed to them by the enum-
orators or other employees" who will
be engaged in the taking of the 18th
decenniai census, which work will be-
gin one month from today. The proc
lamation follows:
Whereas, by the act of congress,
approved July 2, 1909, the 18th de-
cennial census Of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the 18th
day of April, 1910; 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 de-
termining the representation of the
several states in the house of repre-
sentatives; and
Whereas, it is of the utmost i'm
portance to the interests of all the
people Of the United Staes that this
census should be a complete and ac-
curate report 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
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-03-15

make known that, under the act
aforesaid. it is the duty of every per-
SON 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 informa-
tion regarding the population and re-
sources of the country, and replies
are required from individuals only in
order to permit the compilation of
such general statistics. The census
has nothing to do with taxation, with
army or jury service, with the COM
pulsion Of school attendance, with the
regulation of immigration, or with the
enforcement of any national, state, or
local law or ordinance, nor can any
person be harmed in any way by fur
nishing the information required.
There need be no fear that any dis
closure will be made regarding any
individual person or his affairs. For
the due protection of the rights and
interests of the persons furnishing in
formation, every employe of the CEN
sus bureau is prohibited. under heavy
penalty, from disclosing any in
formation which may thus come to his
knowledge.
81 therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, complet-
ely, and accurately all inquiries adj
dressed to them by the enumerators
Or other employees of the census bur-
eau, and thereby to contribute their
share toward making this great and
necessary public undertaking sue
cess.
I'm witness whereof I have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal
Of the United States to be affixed.

by the President: VIM. H. TAFT"
(Seal) P. C. KNOX,
Secretary of State.
The probation is for the purpose
of removing fears from the minds of
some people who are of the opinion
that information which they give con-
corning themselves to the census
taker may be used in some way TO
the detriment Of their personal or
business interests. Against any such
abuse, however, the government has
thrown the strongest safeguards.
