scandal In that bureau which has nothing
TO do with crop reports or statistics, and
retary Wilson's willingness to accept the
resignation OF Statistician Hyde was due
to this other and more personal scandal.
Whether this phase OF the troubles of the
bureau will be discussed in the report Of
the exhaustive inquiry now under way Is
doubtful, but 1t is probable that before the
housekeeping is over the facts will be-
come public property. Those on the inside
are surprised that such conditions could
have existed In a government bureau for
so long without breaking into open scandal.

Although former Association Statistician
Holmes has been dismissed In disgrace and
Statistician John Hyde has, by his recent
resignation, severed his connection with the
bureau of statistics, it is apparent that the
end of the affair is a long way off. Each
passing day brings to District Attorney
Beach and the other officials engaged in
the investigation documents and evidence
which throw additional light on the matter
of the cotton crop report leaks, and every
twenty-four hours sees additional charges
laid before Secretary Wilson in connection
with alleged irregularities in the prepara-
tion and publication of government figures

SAN FRANCISCO PAPER

In Wyoming voted when it
was a territory and therefore had the
power to perpetuate their right in the
state constitution, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. They do not as gen.
orally seek Office there as they do in
Colorado, Utah and Idaho. but they
are in the show for all that. The latest
news from Wyoming tells Of a duel
between two ladies living on ranches
near Fort Bridger. They had fought
in the road several times and finally
issued to zach other a warning that
the next combat would be a gun fight.
1t was. They met armed with revol-
vers and fought and fired until both
fell and one was killed. The survivor,
with several serious wounds, is in Jail,
putting up the old masculine plea of
self-defense.

Fisherman Employed Somebody to
Break In" His Shirts.
The late Capt. Alfred Rice, the
noted shad fisherman of the Delaware
river, was no less remarkable for per.
sonal cleanliness than for his un.
equaled handling of the mile-long shad
seine.
Capt. Rice was not only clean and
neat himself; he insisted upon clean.
liness and neatness in his men. II a
new man proved to be sloven, he
very soon mended his ways under the
captains criticisms, or else he sought
another job.
There was new man, one shad
season, who always wore dirty white
shirt. In shad fishing it is best to
wear a black jersey. If, however. a
white shirt is chosen, there is no rea'
son why 1t should not be clean one.
So at least. Capt. Rice thought.
He stood his new mans dirty white
shirts for month. Then, calling the
fisherman up to him, he said:
Friend, who the deuce is 1t that
you always get to wear your shirts
the first week for you?"-Los Angeles

Chinese Methods Of Justice.

An English traveller writes: "Be-
fore the war began in <Manchuria
came down the Lao river with Rus
sian expedition. We fought the chun-
chuses (Chinese robbers) every after
noon about tea time, but rarely in
flicted any damage on them, because
they hid in the crops. One evening
we got desperate and pursued them
through the kaoliang fields, with a
complete lack of success, only to find
on our return that the Chinese magis-
trate who accompanied us had COL
Jared twelve Cinnamon supposed to be
chunchuses and had them all tied to a
pole by their pigtails. 1t was the busi-
ness Of the Chinese authorities to
deal with all captures, SO these twelve
men were practically condemned to
die. In company with the missionary,
who was Interpreter for the expedition,
l pressed for an inquiry. The result
was that six of the victims were
proved to belong to theatrical COM
pany which was stranded In the neigh
boring village. They were instantly
released. One of the others was sub
jected to a more rigid examination
and died under the lash. Owing to
this untoward incident the rest were
set free. But 1t was pure luck that
the whole twelve were not beheaded."

WHERE MONEY is NOT GOOD.
Natives Of the Philippine Islands Have
No Use for Cash.

Writing from one of the Philippine
islands to the Wichita Eagle, John D.
Rhoades says that one of the greatest
d.ficulties he has encountered is to
get the natives to understand anything
about money. He says:
Il talked with Spaniard who has
little store here, and he told me they
have never used money; that the only
thing they ever bought was rice and
clothing, and for it they always
brought copra in exchange. So now
we buy rice and trade it for fish and
chickens, and pay our laundry bills In
the same commodity. There is no
baker here, and your bread comes

to the Chinese cook for garrison To-
Gated there. Part of the time we eat
rice in it's place.
"A soldier just escorted in. a native
carrying an article that looked like
the stump of cocoanut tree, It be-
ing about ten inches across, and nearly
twice as long, which he calls pula-
wang, and offered it to me for quart
of rice. called the captain, who has
spent six years in the Philippines, and
he said 1t was root. an edible root,
and told me to trade. gave the man
the rice. and he went away, wrapped
in a smile that reached to his waist,
for he was dressed in a pair of trous-
ers only, and could see his stomach
shake. He must have been laughing
at the big price he received"
