Is said. refused 10 give up the iEformd-
ton merely on the request of the Dis

Under the circumstances. there is no
doubt District Attorney Beach Will apply
to one of the justices of the District
Supreme Court for subpoenas to compel
thepresidents and bookkeepers of the diff
ferent local banks TO appear before the
grand jury with books and papers and
testify under oath relative TO the ac-
counts Of Messrs. Hyde and Holmes. and

As Il result Of the Conference between
Justice Stafford and the District At

Wilson Star Witness
Before the Grand Jury
Explained ImposSibiity of Leak Having OC-
CURED Through Ordinary yMethods-prob-
able Investigation of Bank Accounts.

James Wilson, Secretary Of AgricuI-
ture, was the star witness today be-
tore the grand jury which is probing
the cotton leak scandal
He arrived at the City Hail q few
minutes before II o'clock and went di-
rectly TO the private office OF District
Attorney Morgan II, Beach, who is
directing the investigation.
After a brief conference with the Dis
trict Attorney, Secretary Wilson. ac-
cCmpanied by Mr. Beach, appeared be-
fore the grand jury and was examined

OF the department with a view of show
ing that 1t was Impossible Co~ the leak
[" have occurred through the ordinary
methods of the routine business of tho
department.
Mr.. Wilson was before the grand jury
only a short time. AS soon as his eX-
animation was concluded, he left the
City Hall and returned TO the Depart
ment OF Agriculture
Early at C1ice
Despite the fact that it was thought
that District Attorney Beach left Wash
ington yesterday and would be absent
from the city today, and, consequently,
would not be present to prosecute the
investigation of the cotton scandal, he
was at his office early today to do busi-
ness.
Judging from The activity displayed
by himself and his assistants, it is likely
that something important viii come
out in the near future. When asked
about the report that he has instructed
local detectives 10 caH upon the man

CANADIAN PACIFIC WINS.

ottawa, March 1.-The Supreme Court of Canada
has given judgment sustaining the Canadian Pa
ci1c Railway Company's contention in regard TO
the right of the municipalities to impose taxation
upon the company's lands in Manitoba and the
Northwest Territories The court holds that the
Northwest Territories exercise. not original Sow
eregn jurisdiction. but delegated jurisdiction, and
therefore that the legislation of the Northwest Ter
ritortes really legislation by the Dominion.
The exemption clause provides that the railway
shall be forever free from taxation by the Do
minon by any province hereafter to be estab-
lished by any municipal corporation therein
The court accordingly holds that the company was
by the contract to be free from local taxation at
the hands of the Northwest Assembly. The court
also holds that the lands OF the company in the
Northwest are exempt from taxation for twenty
years after the patent has been issued for each
particular parcel of land.
