WILL INVESTIGATE MOORE
IrreEuIarfties Regarding Soil Culture
Scandal Referred to DEPART
nient of Justice.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., July 29.-An investi-
cation of the case of Dr. George T. Moore
psychologist and analogist of the Depart-
ment or Agriculture, who resigned yester-
DAY, Is to be made by the Department of
Justice whether a prosecution Is warranted
by the facts.
This was made clear tonight in CORE
spondence between the president and Sec
rotary Wilson, the publication of which
was authorized by the president. 1t ap-
pears from this and the ACCOMMODATING
papers that the first suggestion toward
looking into the bureau in which DR.. Moore
was employed came in a letter to President
Roosevelt from T. d. Hartman. manager
OF the National Stockman and Farmer
under the date of July IS inst.
Secretary Wilson sent to the president n
copy Of Moores statement made To the
secretary In defense OF his alleged con-
nection with the nitro-cuIture concern
That statement indicates that Moore's SUI
perior's In the Department OF Agriculture
were cognizant for long time of his de-
sire to leave the department to identify
himself with the nitro-culture company
unless he could secure a promotion. but
In 1t Moore expressly says that his SUI
periors did not know his wife was a stock
holoer IN the company or that a consider
able block OF the stock had been reserved
for him. For some reason. which is not
explained, Moore neglected to inform his
superiors on that very material point.
DR.. Moore's statement has been pub
hshed 1t Is regarded as not unlikely that
out OF the inquiry which is being made
into DIR. Moors's connection with the nitro
culture company, may grow some sensa-
tional disclosures The letter OF Mr.. Har-
man to the president contains intimation
OF state Of affairs that is not explained
BY statements to Secretary Wilson. The
whole matter, by direction of the president.
will be probed to the bottom and II the
facts should warrant, prompt action will
be taken by the Department Of Justice.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 29.-Judge
Frazer of the state circuit court TODAY
granted preliminary injunction restrain
ing the management Of the Lewis and
Clark exposition from interfering with the
Sunday operation of concessions on THE
Trail at the exposition. The exposition
management at the inception Of the exposi-
ton idea had the local ministerial body
to contend with, the clergymen being ut
teriy opposed to the opening of any portion
Of the exposition to the public on Sundays
and as a compromise the exposition ofi-
cials guaranteed that '"The TraiI'' con-
cessions would not be permitted to open.
Two months OF losing business, with fnan-
cial ruin facing many Of the shows,
caused the concessionaires to demand the
operation Of their shows on Sunday. A
compromise resulted In the case being
taken into court with the result that Judge
Frazer decided in favor Of Sunday opening.

DECREASE in THE DEFICIT
Treasury Department Report Shows
1t is s3,OOO,OOO Less Than
Last July.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The monthly
statement of the government receipts and
expenditures which will be issued by the
Treasury department on August will show
the receipts for July, 1906, to have been APP
proximately $49,1SO,0OO and the expenditures
about $62,S6O,OOO, leaving a deficit for the
month Of S13,6S0,OO0. The deficit last July
was s17,S000Oo. -
There were no extraordinary receipts or
expenditures in July, 1904 and none will
occur in the figures for the present month.
This decrease of about s., 100000 in the de-
nett for this month as compared with that
Tor july 1904. is accounted for by the ma
terial increase In the receipts. particularly
from customs and slight decrease in ex-
penditures. The receipts from customs
alone will exceed those for July last year
by about $27,0OO,OO0. Those from internal
revenue sources will probably exceed those
OF year ago by about $4,000. The re-
ceipts this month will include a payment
OF about 100000 from the Southern Pacific
Railroad company on account of its thir-
teenth semi-annual note due the govern
ment on August 1. There was a similar
payment from this company last July. The
treasury officials regard the showing this
month with satisfaction and point to the
NOOOOOO Increase In customs receipts as an
indication OF large increase in business
during the remainder of the year.
The following telegram to the Navy de-
partment today from Rear Admiral Good
