for continuance Of control under su-
pervision of the Department of JUS
tice, he said, necessary funds and
authority were not forthcoming.
Mr.. Palmer's action was generally
accepted as opening sources of more
sugar supplies by permitting refiners
to pay more for the Cuban raw stock,
it also was behevd to mean that
sugar prices would soar. .
The department will continue to
hunt down profiteers, but without
means Of checking up ON cost to the
refiner or without control of the
price at which supplies come into
this country.
1t is believed domestic consumers
would be forced TO pay high prices

In explaining abandonment Of the
program for defeating the sugar
shortage Mr.. Palmer said he had
put the proposition mp to Congress,
as he lacked "power and facilities"
for obtaining tangible results.

Whereas. it is Of the utmost inn
portance to the interests Of all the
people of the United States that this
census should be complete and ac-.
curate report Of the population and
resources Of the nation;
Now, therefore, I. Woodrow VII
son, President of the United States
of America, do hereby declare and
make known that, under the law
aforesaid, 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 person refus-
ing to do so is subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the Census is
to secure general statistical informa-
ton regarding the population and re-
sources of the country and replies
are required from individuals only to
permit-the compilation of such gen
eral statistics. No person can be
harmed in any way by furnishing the

the regulation of immigration or with
the enforcement of any national,

need be no-fear that any disclosure
will be made regarding any individual

Bureau is prohibited, under heavy
penalty, from disclosing any infor-
nation which may thus come tc his
knowledge.
I therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, COM

TROOPS ORDERED OUT lN
 CHICAGO TO END RIOT.lG
Soldiers Move Into Black Belt to Gone With Disorders; Death List Is
 Now 30; Homes Burned.

Chicago, July 30.-The state troops were ordered from the armories to- night to various points regarded as danger centers in the race riot dis trlct. Request for the troops was made to Adjutant General Dickson by Mayor Thompson.
 The decision to use troops to pa- trol the dangerous parts of the trouble zone was taken tonight as a precau- tionary measure, after Adjutant Gen, Dickson had made a round of the South Side negro district.
 It was not deemed necessary at the time the mayor asked fo.24he troops to proclaim martial law, and whether Governor Lowden has prepared to take that step was not made known. It seemed to be generally believed that placing the militia men on patrol duty would prevent further serious rioting. Situation Is Serious. 1 From what l have seen this after noon and evening I should judge the situation and temperament of the peo- pie is more serious than it was at this time the night before,' said the ad- jutant general, as he started for the meeting with the mayor
 | While the troops were preparing to l march from the armories, word of a riot on Fiftieth and State streets was ! hU
 both negroes and white, were said to have clashed, firing countless shots. Police reserves were hurried to the scene.
 The hrst troops to move were six companies of the First Regiment, H. linois Reserve Militia, who were or dered from the Seventh Regiment ar- mory to the Stanton avenue riot head 1 quarters in the heart of the black belt.
 Adjutant general Dickson and Col James Aomayne left the city hall for the Stanton avenue station after -d1. recting the troops to move
 Within the barred zone of the South Side negro district, where whites dared not go or did so at their own peril, and l in the immediate surrounding terri- tory and some outlying sections, where negroes were in danger, us result of racial war of four days and three nights, the situation was not so tense.
 But with four deaths today and about a score of persons wounded Or beaten, and authorities dtl not relix their vig- ila1Ce. The total number of deaths now number thirty
