Muskogee, |. THE investiga.
ton of the official of the depart.
ment of justice la the Northern
and Western dis lricts Ofthe Indian
Territory has been about cOmplet-
ed by Special Agent Leigh Chal-
lners. He will leave the Central
aud Southern districts to be
completed by another special
agent aud in 80 far as the III.
vestigation affects officers of that
district. The TishOmingO Trust
company of Pliny Soper's has been
looked after 10y Major Chalmers,
however, aud his report will cover
that Institution aud throw some
side lights on the situation in the
south of the territory.
The result of the investigation
by Major Chalmers will be a
recommendation for the removal
of all officials of the department
of Justice whose connections with
trust and land companies could in
any way bias their department or
impair or bring reproach on the
department. The cases specifical.
ly investigated here were those
of Marshal Leo Bennett, of the
Western district; Attorney w. NJ.
Mellette, and Assistant Attorney
Joseph Mccoy, of the Western
district, and Attorney Pliny Soper
of the Northern district.
Mr.. Benefits connection with
the Muskogee Title aud Trust
company is where he is under a
cloud. This company is the one
in which Tams BiXby holds stock
and Indian Inspector j. G.. Wright
is director DR.. Bennett and
F. G. Hubbard, formerly his chief
office deputy, now Worlds fair
commissioner, each have $4,000
of the stock.
Mr.. Mellette has $4,000 in the
stock of the Tulsa Oil and Mining
company, and WAS one of the in-
c0rpOrators of the company.
Mr.. Mccoy was one of the in
corporatOrs oflhe Canadian Valley
Trust company and is its chief
general attorney. This company is
the one with an office in the old
Greek land office room and il
supposed TO be controlled by
Tams Bixby.
Mr.. S0per is director IN Pete
Foley's Tishomingo Trust company
of which Commissioner Stanley Is
vice president.
The report of the special agent
will recite the difference between
the operations of trust companies
in Indian Territory and in the
states. He will show the relation
the trust companies held to the
"grafters" who are trying to skin
the Indians, and will draw "a con-
cluslon that it is impossible fol
the servants of the people to
become identified with these
companies and yet remain true to
their trust.

ROUND BALE VS.. SQUARE.
An Important Hearing to BE Had Before
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in November.

the Interstate commerce IOm-
mission in November.
From the Memphis News.
The impending fight between the
round and square-bale cotton men,
according to the statement made,
may completely revolutionize the
cotton industry throughout the
world.
When a hearing is given the two
big rOund.bale compress com
panies before the interstate com.
merce commission in November,
it is expected that there will be
startling developments, and if it is
true that J. p. Morgan and other
eastern multi-milliOnaires are
behind the round bale movement,
it is not improbable that the con.
cessions asked by the rOund-bale
compress companies will be
granted.
1t is now certain that the round.
bale movement is not going to be
downed as easily as was at first
expected. A prominent local rail.
road man stated that some more
economical system other than the
old.fashioned square bale is bound
to come.
IL do not know whether the
solution Of the problem lies with
the round-bale or not" he said,
"but it is quite evident to all those
of unbiased opinion who are
thoroughly familiar with the situa.
ton that Il more economical system
of handling cotton than the square
bale is certain 10 be introduced"
The National and Planters com.
press companies have petitioned
the interstate commerce commits
sion that they be granted a differ
ential Of 10 cents per hundred
pounds, which would make the
rate for them from this city tC
Boston 80 cents per hundred
pounds.
If this concession is granted 10y
the interstate commerce commits
sion it is believed that il will meal
the end of the present square
bale compress system and the
death note of the square bale, as
the dealers in square-bale cotton
would be utterly unable to com
pete with the round.bale men in
prices.
The railroad men of the country
Judging from recent developments
are not 80 much in favor Of th {
square.bale system as was believed
when the question Of war be,
tween the two systems was first
raised, Several railroad men have
admitted that they would rather
handle the round bale in prefer
ence TO the square,
The principal contention of the
square.bale men against the round
bale interests has 40 far been that
the universal introduction of ID,
round bale would seriously injurC
the cotton planter, and that at
least 90 per cent. of the cotton
interests are represented by the
square.bale system. They claim
that all the planters under III,
new system would be compelled
to lease or buy machinery from the
round'bale compress ut large
expense, which would greatly
detract from the profits,

an advocate ofthat system, "woulc
