DEPARTMENT TO UNDERGO
RIGID INQUIRY.

rant 1t Prosecutions VIII Follow.
Head of Department Will Remain in
the Cabinet.
Oyster Bay. l.. l.. July S1.-A confer
ence took place durin the day at sag
amore Hill c%oncern!.! re scandals re-
Gently developed H. t. department OF
agriculture at Washington.
President Roosevelt entertained at
luncheon Secretary Wilson OF the de-
partment of agriculture, who had come
to Oyster Bay by invitation Of the pres
ident to discuss the recent develop
ments of the cotton report leak a
dial and of the exploitation OF nitro
culture which induced the resignation
of DIR. George T. Moore. Both OF these
cases are now under investigation by
the department Of justice. By direc-
ton of the president the inquiries will
be made very thorough and if the facts
disclosed should warrant it prosecu-
tons against the offenders will be in
stituted by Attorney General Moody.
Meantime a rigid inquiry will be
made into all other bureaus OF the de-
partment of agriculture, it being the
intention of both the president n
Secretary Wilson to purge the depart
ment of any faint Of corruption. With
this general inquiry the president is
not interfering in any way. Secretary
Wilson is directing it and the presl-
dents confidence in him is such that
he is assured the investigation will de-
velop all the facts.
Secretary Wilson has no present
idea of resigning and even if his resig-
nation were rendered it is probable
that the president would decline to
accept it.

many places for him.
The body was not recovered for
four days after the drowning, and then
the mother brought it to St. Louis.
The man with whom she ran away
had disappeared in the meantime and
the woman took the body TO Martins
room over the stable on North Mar
ket street.
After keeping it there one day, the
father grleying over it,the mother had
1t shipped to Farber, Mo-, near her
old home, and there with only herself
az mourner, the funeral Of the boy was
held.
The couple did not speak TO each
other, 1t is said, when the mother
brought home the dead son, and tneiI
relationship is said to be just at
strained. ,
The boy was drowned while swim
ming with other boys, the death be
ing accidental.
