THEFT IN THE OFFICE
Cotton Report Stolen for a
Favored Few.
Evidence That Some Traders are Informed Of
its General Character Before Time for
official Publication.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York. Dec 4-The Journal of
Commerce will say tomorrow:
There have in recent years been many
reports that the Agricultural Burelus
cotton report has leaked in other words
that it's general character has become
known to a favored few before the time
of its official publication. But never
has the conviction been more firmly held
by the cotton trade than in the instance
of the report issued by the Department
on Wednesday. 1t is naturally impos-
sihle to give entirely specific evidence
that the report was dishonesty made
known to particular interests in advance
for direct evidence OF this character
could only be received from parties
themselves participating in the THEFT
But the course of " ednesday S market Is
accepted by the cotton trade as pelhs
absolutely and unequivocally indicative
that large market interests had oeTnlte
information of the character or the re-
mort. In addition, the following speclnc
information is available:
"First the exact figures 1O,4lI,ooo
bales. of the government estimate were
definitely known at least twenty minutes
before the official hour for puphshlng
the report, namely, noon. This ln1orlna-
ton was given a representative OF TINS
journal by one of the best-known mem
bers of the exchange.
Second. the news was very general De-
fore II O'Clock that the Department
renort would be 1O,5O0.0OO bales.
Third. advance information regarding
the exact character of the report was
offered early in the forenoon to very
large commission house. which refused TO
enter into negotiations or consider the
nurchasa of the stolen information III
any form. ,eor
1.-THE greatest evidence that the inlor-
nation was dishonesty circulated was
contained in the action OF the market IL
self and there are many Responsible
members of the New York cotton 'raue'
who believe the leak occurred not Oh
Wednesday morning, but sometime on
Tuesday. as there is every evidence tnat
both the New York and Liverpool mar
ket were forced up from theu Selling
basis"

RpUcATIoN OF IRE NEGROES.
Episcopal Missionary Work in the South is
Discussed.
CBy the Associated Press.)

nv the Associated Press.)
New York, Dec. 4.-Missionary service
was held at st. Georges church to-
night. as part of the advent of the mis-
sionary campaign now in progress in this
o;tv The service was specially devoted
m tho masi missionary work of the Epis-
copal church among the negroes in the
South.
Archdeacon Russell. head of st. Paul $
School. in Lawrenceville, Va, discussed
tho progress of education among the ne
groes of the South as one of the par
tial solutions of the negro problem, and
described the workings OF his own
school. Under the new constitution of
Virginia" said Archdeacon Russell, such
schools have been placed under assess
ment for taxation. Our legal adviser
savs this tax will not be collected until
next year However, it Will mean an
additional expense to us of about $4,000
This sum, if we are obliged to defect
from other channels in the school, will
seriously hamper our work."
"Tbe uplifting of the negro and of the
SOUTH he added depends on the gen.
erosity of the North. You may ask why
southerners do not give to such projects
The reason they do not, is that they have
not the money to give"
Rev. w. H. Tunnel, warden of Kings
Hall. Washington, said that the negro
was simply the subject of human
problem as much as the other races Of
the world, including the Anglo-S Saxon.
OF the various suggested means to dis
nose of the negro problem he said that
expatriation was impossible. because all
the ships of the merchant marine and
navy of this country and the whole world
would not carry the negroes back to
Africa"

SPEAKS FOR ECONOMY
State Board of Agriculture for
CurtaiIing Expenses.
Six Months Expenses Cut to S3l,lll and State.
ment That Work has Been too Broad
for Department Income.

The Board of Agriculture continued it's
sessions and the various committees to
whom the reports of officers were re-
ferred gave their findings in the case
to the board.
The sessions of the board are not pub
lie, and the reports given out to the press
come through the secretary of the board.
From the memoranda furnished by him
yesterday the following report is made.
The most striking feature of the re-
port is the fact that the board declares
for policy of retrenchment, and says
that work has been attempted on too
broad scale, in view OF the revenue
which comes to it, and that there must be
a curtailment.
When the board resumed its session
yesterday Mr.. ]. G.. Ellington exhibited
some fire extinguishers. The matter Of
the purchase of these was referred to a
committee.
Chairman Coffield, of the Finance COM
mittee, made a report for the commit
tee. He reported the books in excel
lent condition. The committee reported
that for. three years past the work un-
dertaken by the Department has been on
too broad scale for the income, and
that while all work undertaken was i'm
portant and of value to the State, it
seemed to be beyond the ability of the
hoard to keep these up. The budget. as
adopted. is little less than that submit
ted. being $3,111 for the next six months,
including all expenses. The last budget
was ZOO, but this included the expenses
of the State exhibit at the Charleston
Exposition.
In the way of retrenchment the Finance
committee recommended that the topo-
graphical work now going on in conjunc-
ton with United States Government be
discontinued. For several years the work
will be in mapping, and until it is time
again for field work they think a halt
should be called. The budget it was
stated, had been cut down to the lowest
figure.
Major Graham's motion to group the
various fertilizers by names of manu-
facturers in place of by analyses was
agreed to, as was resolution in line
with the request of the commissioners of
the cotton States, whichfxes the mini
mum figure for STANDARD fertilizer at s
Per cent phosphoric acid, 2 per cent am
monia and per cent potash, the formula
being 1922, while for thigh grade" the
minimum fixed was 1922. This will be
recommended to the Legislature.
Several minor changes were suggested
by Commissioner Patterson in the Fer
tilizer law which will tend to simplify
and amplify 1t without changing its sense.
These the board agreed to. The question
