SECRETARY SUBMITS
. PROOFS TO SUBORDINATE
Matter of Leakages in Cotton Reports
Now Passes to Final Stage of
Investigation.

Secretary Wilson this morning sub
mitted TO John Hyde. statistician of the
Department of Agriculture, all proofs
and papers which pertain to the allega-
tions of the secretary Of the Southern
Cotton Growers Association that leak
ages have occurred in the Bureau of
Statistics in the form of manipulating
and giving out advance Information on
the ngures contained in the monthly
cotton report.
The Secretary of Agriculture and Mr..
Hyde had "a long conference this morn
ing at which all phases of the allega-
tions were gone over and Immediately
after coming out Of the Secretary 8
office Mr.. Hyde set about familiarizing g
himself with the details of the lnves-
tigation begun some time ago by the
Secret Service men.
It is expected that the report will
be made public during this week, as 1t
was intimated that nearly all the work
of the departments experts is about
completed. The report. which the Sec
retary insists must be thorough in
every respect, would have been made
public several days ago, but there was
brought to the attention of the depart
rnent from various sources SO many
rumorS that upon investigation prove
absolutely without any foundation that
1t was decided in order to eliminate
any possibility of 'whiteWashing" In
the affair the Secretary preferred to in
vestigite every semblance Of IL clue
to the alleged leakage that could
be obtained, and he does not intend tC
have the report made public until he
is satisfied that he has reached tho
bottom of the allegations, If there has
been any such, crookedness. as Mr.
