CITY RESIDENTS MUST
GIVE THIRTY-TWO
ANSWERS.
Some Strange Situations
May Arise in Course
of the Quizzing.

Thirteen enumerators started work
In. Wal Walla this morning to Sc
cure an accurate count of the inhabi-
tants, the names of the people whose
homes are here, and a detailed listing
of property owned by these residents.
1t is a stupendous task, and must be
completed in just Is days. To Walla
Walla the census has an especial sig
nificance, in that a first-cla charter
will be applied for in case the city is
shown to have population of 10000,
emitting it to first-class rating. The
questions to be answered number 81
in the city, and only by the coopera-
tion of the people will it be possible
to secure anything like an accurate
count.
Today is census day all over the
United States. Uncle Sam wants to
know how many subjects he has, how
rich he is, how prosperous he has be-
come and hundred other things, and
to this end he is prepared to spend
$13,000,000. DR.. E. Dana Durand is in
charge of this stupendous job. He ev-
poets that his enumerators will be able
to find between SS,O0000 and $780,
000people in the country, and each
head of the house will be required to
tell all about his age. color, and past
and present condition of conjugal ser
vitude, as well as to answer a host of
other personal questions. Live stock
will also be enumerated, and all sorts
of wealth, and when the job is done
Uncle will know, not only how many
souls he is composed of, but also how
many horses, cattle, pigs, sheep and
other animals he has, how many farms
he owns. what they produce. how his
manufacturing plants, mines and quar-
ries are faring. and a lot of other
interesting information about himself
In the matter of the population OF
cities, it is certain that New York,
Chicago and Phi adelphia will retain
their supremacy as the three largest
municipalities of the country All are
expected to show great gains, and New
York will take another big jump to-
ward overtaking London. Chicago
will certainly show big percentage
of gain, and Philadelphia a smaller
one.
When it comes to the fourth city, the
are uncertain. and the
discovery of that fourth city of the

teresting developments of the census
st. Louis held fourth place 10 years

Krantz today, Roosevelt and Kermrr
found no rooms reserved for them.
They We're hustled into a little apart
ment while the management of the ho-
tel hastened to prepare a luxurious

principles upon his return to America,
regardless of parties or persons. Dur
ing the day the colonel rubbed elbows

morning and was-met by the biggest
reception committee that has yet

ASKS SOME QUESTIONS
WHICH ARE MUCH
TO THE POINT.
Trust Escapes the Probe
And Conviction at
Order of Taft.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-(Special
10 the Statesman )-Raising anew the
question as to whether the attorney
general of the United States was ever
attorney for the sugar trust by de-
manding that Mr.. Wickersham state
whether he received any portion of the
huge fee paid by the trust to the law
firm of which he was a member, Rep
resentative Henry r. Rainey of Hi
nois, in what was in some respects
one of the most remarkable speeches
made on the floor of the house this
session, reopened the entire sugar
scandal
Mr.. Raineys aim was to show the
necessity of a congressional investi-
CATION of the sugar trusts misdeeds.
He revealed a startling array of facts
which showed that on the one hand the
sugar trust contributed colossal sums
to the republican campaign funds, and
on the other hand was favored by the
national government with tariff pro-
fits from the consumers of sugar, nor
was this all Mr.. Rainey charged. The
men behind the sugar trust, Mr.. Rain
ey declared, were able ta vio ate the
criminal statutes Of the United States
by defrauding the government of mill
lions of dollars, and to\not only escape
the penitentiary, but to escape 1nves-
tigation by congress and that at the
direct request of President Taft.
Rererring to Attorney General
Wickersham's recent denial of the
charee that he had been the attorney
for the sugar trust, Mr.. Rainey SAID:
L respectfully submit that if the
attorney general desires to deny ms
connection with the sugar trust, ne
should make his denial more complete.
At the time the service for the sugar
trust was being rendered in the most
important suit ever brought against
the American Sugar Refining company
by the firm of Strong & Cadwalader'
