Washington, Dec. 7.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson last night denounc-
ed as incorrect the charge that has
been made that advance information
of the government crop report has been
made public. The secretary said that
the system in vogue in the departmen
has rendered 1t impossible for anyone
even the chief statistician himself -
to know what the estimate would be
in advance of the morning upon which
it is given out. and that any leakage is
impossible.

WOODS HEARING RESUMED.
Senate Committee On Military Affairs
Takes IestimonY.

Washington, Dec. THE senate
committee on military affairs resumed
Its hearing in the General Leonard
Wood case today with Commander
Liucen Young of the navy on the stand.
Much testimony was brought out in re-
lation to the charge that Wood. after
assuming duties as governor of Cuba,
employed detectives not connected with
the army to shadow certain army Of
ficers for the purpose of reporting their
actions to Wood.
Colonel Diehl was called for the pur-
pose OF supplementing the testimony
of Melville E. Stone. general manager
OF the Associated Press. In relation 70
the service in Cuba of Captain E. G.
Bellaires. Witness said. so far as he
knew, Wood had no knowledge that
Bellaire was an ex-convict: that Bell
aires impressed favorably all who met
him. The character OF Bellaires did
not become known to Diehl until after
the correspondent had been transferred
from Cuba to China and later to the
Philippines

One of the best real e. : invest

was in the ground that = owned by
the state for the state fa..s! The state
purchased 270 acres of ground for s47,-
O0O This was the old farm owned by
Wesley Redhead. one OF the pioneers
Of the city. The deed was executed on
June 26 1885. The buildings erected
on the fair grounds are valuable, but
II is safe to say that If shere was not a
building on the ground and 1t was sti.i
g. farm the state could now sell 1t Tor
two or three times what 1t cost eight
cen years ago. State Auditor Carroll
has recently caused to be collected and
recorded all the deeds to property by
the state of Iowa. and the deeds have
been filed in better condition than ever
before. II was found that the deeds
lad not been very we'll cared for and
were scattered about. and some effort
was necessary to discover where all
the deeds were to be found.The deeds
the state fair ground was among these
deeds.
The members of the Iowa STATE
Travelling Mems Association were In
formed. in the report OF the vice presi-
dent. that the Iowa fire escape law was
something of their own making and
that 1t was thru their efforts that the
,aw has been enforced and scores Of
hotels in the state that were formerly
without fire protection are now pro-
yided with fire escapes. But it is a
fact that not in all cases have the ho-
tells of the state been provided with
fire escapes. The state labor bureau
tried to enforce the placing of fire es-
capes on four-story building used as
a hotel in one city Of iowa. and was
resisted The landlord would not do

offer any assistance. Much correspond
ence followed. and the past week the
fact was disclosed that The hotelkeeper
has thrown up his lease and quit the
business and the owner Of the building
is without tenant because he felt
that the state of Iowa was imposing
on him by insisting that he should
place fire escapes on the building He
would rather have his building empty
than to go to the expense OF putting
up fire escapes
One who is pretty well informed on
the condition OF the banks of Iowa
makes an estimate that the banks OF
Ihe state nave the past yrar realized a
net profit on their. capital stock in
vested of from 10 to Is per cent While
here and there a bank has lost some
money. yet as a rule there has been
great profit in banking. With such a
profit 1t is certain that there is no dan
ger of any general trouble in the bank
ing field.
