Secretary of Agriculture Will
Welcome Suit by Price.
IS GAMBLERS QUARREL
Threat Of Well Known Cotton Broker
to Resent Accusations Will BE
Ignored - Holmes May Yet
Be Prosecuted.

That Secretary Wilson intends to
take no step backward in his report
on the cotton leak investigation was
evidenced Monday by the Statement:
that he was not afraid of any libel
suit which might be filed against him
by Theodore Price or other brokers
mentioned in the report; in fact, he
said. he would welcome such action.
because it might be the means of de-
Veloping such facts not already un-
covered, and which it was desirable
to know.
"This is quarel among gamblers,
he said, brought about by the dis
satisfaction of some CT them in not
getting what they thought was their
due. I have nothing to take back.
AS the head of aa executive depart.
ment of the government, it was my
duty and right to give to the public
the result of the investigation by the
secret service agents into the charges
which had been fled leading up to the
dismissal Of Mr.. Holmes.
The secretary added that he had
given consideration to Mr.. Prices re-
quest, as presented through his at.
tcrney, William NJ. 1vins, of New York,
ito withdraw the unjust, offensive
and unsustained charges and implica,
tions" and had reached the determine.
tion to take no further action in
the matter. He said he would not
communicate with Mr.. Price or his
| attorney in any way.
In view of the opinion by the
United States district attorney, Grim
inal prosecution against Holmes would
not lie. Secretary Wilson intimated
that he would suggest to President
Roosevelt recommendation to con
; gress that legislation be enacted to
cover cases Of similar character In
vciviag a breach of trust.
Roosevelt to Take Action.
It is regarded, according to a dis.
patch from Oyster Bay, as not unlike
" that criminal prosecution may re-
suit from the investigation of the cot,

formal way, although he is familiar.

occurred is complete mystery.
Brown went to Charleston to check

The amount was made up and the IN

some manner the money dlsap-

money signed by the inspector. There
was considerable discussion as 10 the

FACTORY WRECKED
BY DYNAMIIERS
Kentucky Tobacco Plant Blown
Up by Foes Of the Tobacco
Trust,

Elkton, KY, Dec. 1.-THE tobacco
factory here owned by Mrs. M. B. Pen
yck, and operated for the tobacco trust
by the American Snuff company, was
blown up by dynamite early today and
completely wrecked. There was no loss
Of life.
Insurance on the plant was cancelled
a few days ago, owing to the excite.
ment caused by the tactics Of some to-
bacco growers.
Several houses in the vicinity were
damaged, as were the depot and four
or five passenger coaches on a siding.
The deed is thought to have been
committed by persons friendly to the
Dark Tobacco Growers association, but
the latter had severely condemned such
action.
