LITTLE DOUBT OF COTTON LEAK
Belief iu Washington That Certain
Brokers Obtained Information n
Advances-Secrctary Wilson Inclin-
ed To Admit the Trath OF Crooked
Work

The Investigation Of the charges
made by Mr.. ~Cheatham. the secretary
OF the Southern Cotton Growers AS
ISOLATION. that advance information OF
cotton reports was given To favored
brokers Is by no means concluded. Mr..
Cheatham has zone TO Atlanta after
laying before the Agricultural DEPART
ment all of the information he had In
his possession. Since some question
has beer raised as to whether the cot
ton growers weer in sympathy with
III echarges which have been broughta
meeting Of the cotton growers has been
called for July - at Memphis. 1t is
said the meeting will sustain Mr..
| Cheatham.
The best information obtainable in
| Washington Is that there Is now no
] doubt in the minds OF the investigators
that cotton reports did leak to brokers
in advance for a consideration. There
will be great difficulty in showing indl-
| vidual responsibility. and "a prominent
official expressed the opinion today
that the culprit o never be
| known. At the same time there Is a
| belief that the connection still exists
| between the agricultural department
| and the brokers. and those who are
protiting by the illicit traffic are able
10 snap their fingers ut the inquisitors.
This is likely to result in President
Roosevelt taking personal cogniZance
OF the matter.
Those who have been representing
Secretary Wilson as skeptical regard
ing the truth of the accusations are
said To be entirely wrong. The Sec
rotary of agriculture, on the contrary.
believes the charges made by Mr..
Cheatham TO be very serious. Other
wise he would not have suspended
Edwin =. Holmes. he assistant Stats
tician, nor ordered John Hyde, the
chief statistician and head of the bu-
rean, back from Europe. lt Is said
that Secretary Wilson for the first
time in four years is inclined to credit
the statement that crooked work has
been going on in the bureau of statis-
tics. 1t is also said that he realizes
that if this charge is true it Is likely
tC result in an investigation OF every
branch of his department.
One of the most interesting develop
ments of today's investigation has
been the establishment Of a connection
between the department of agriculture
and the office of Il broker In Washing
ton, who is known to have been the
direct correspondent of one Of the most
successful cotton operators in New
York. This operator has been under
suspicion as having protited not only
b ythe advance information OF the
yearly crop given out in December
1904. but also by the monthly reports.

A well known Augusta lady who
took down her receiver the other day
was somewhat startled to secure this
thrust in somewhat acidulOus tones.
"You get right off this line, and you
stay off, too" AS the lady is not of II

oheyed orders.

Why should the operator whose har-

public that such a line is ''busy"-and
mighty busy at that-be held response
BILE for the selfish gyratiOns of these
human talking machines? Why
should she be charged with some deep
and sinister disposition to "do" you
lust because she cannot secure you a
line so monopolized-why indeed?
Something must be done to stop this
evil. The operator should be given
more power rather than less power.
For instance she might be authorized
at the end of an hour or so to make
the announcement then off, and shut
off the connection.

PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST
GERMS.
People With Weak Stomachs Most
Liable to Catch Disease.

When the stomach and digestive
organs are weak, the food does not
digest, and there is sour. Shiny,

spot for the disease germs to multi

against disease germs is to strengthen
the stomach and digestive organs, and
Mi-o-na is the only agent, so far as
is known, that will accomplish this.
The ordinary medicine that is
taken for Indigestion and stomach
troubles is advertised to act upon
the food alone, and hence can give
no more than temporary relief. Mi

should at once strengthen the stom-

The open season for fishing in

keep a perch which he has caught in
close season for perch while trolling
for trout or salmon is stricken out.
No change was made in the open
season on moose or deer, except in a
