feel that the district had "done

looks better for the ambitious

COTTON ACREAGE REPORT
AROUSES HYDE'S IRE
Tells Only Way of Keeping Depart
ment's Acreage Reports From Be
ing Laughing Stock.

The revised cotton crop acreage re-
port, issued by the Department of Agri-
culture on July 70, seems TO have
aroused the ire OF, John Hyde former
statistician of the department. who is
now sojouTning in London.
According to a statement made public
yesterday. Hyde emphaticaHy denies
the allegations contained IN the re-
yised report. that he made the June
estimate lower than the facts at hand
warranted.
T have just seen for the first time, y
said Mr.. Hyde, the revised cotton
acreage report Issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture on
July 26. The crop estimating board re-
duces the official estimate of June 2 by
more than l. 100, Oe9 acres. and even
goes SO far as 10 say that I made the
estimate lower than the reports receiv-
ed from official reporters employed by
the bureau warranted.
To this statement I give unqualified
denial, and assert that the most trust
worthy Of the various sets of figures
on which the report OF June was based
afforded the most ample warrant for
my estimate.
IT is only by an entire disregard of
the reports of county and township
correspondents that the department 8
acreage reports can be prevented from
of the world When concerned only
with the condition of the growing crop,
except under special circumstances the
reports of county and township cores
ponGents are not without value.
W hen. however, these correspondents
report either upon the acreage or upon
the size of the crop in bales, their re-
ports are absolutely worthless. For in
stance, The crop last year was estimat-
ed by township correspondents at less
than 12.G90. 900 bales, and by county cor
respondents at less than 1900, 900 bales.
Failure on the part of the board to rec
Ognize the widely varying degrees OF
reiia bility which characterize the reports
of its different classes of correspondents
VIII inevitably destroy the value of its
reports for general statistical purposes. .
Hyde has now announced his inten-
ton of returning from England 10 Wash
ington las soon as possible" When
that will be is a matter Of guess work
It Is believed by many that he will not
return until late in the fall, or until
after sUch time as the grand jury has
completed its investigation.

CONDUCTORS LEG CUT OFF

NEW YORK, Aug o., ,?ozen per
sons were injured some of them so Sc
Tiously that it is feared they Will die
as the result Of the collision of a
southbound trolley car with lumber
wagon at Third avenue and Thirty-hfth
street this morning.
The car was speeding south in charge
of Motorman Thomas McGulniss and
Conductor Eugene J. Kelly, when the
lumber wagon, driven by Eugene Downs.
crossed the tracks. The ear struck the
wagon, cutting it almost in half
Kelly was on the running board of the
car. and his leg was caught in the
wreck and nearly cut off. It is feared he
will die. Downs was thrown from his
wagon and buried under the lumber #
had contained. When dug out he was
found not TO be seriously hurt.
Several women who were passengers
on the car were among the severely
injured. Columbia Ferona, who was on
her way to steamboat pier 10 take a
steamer TO Italy, was badly shocked and
injured internally, and was taken to
Bellevue Hospital. Three friends who
were accompanying her to the dock were
also hurt, and were taken to the same

SPEAKER CANNON PRIMED
FOR TARIFF BATTLE
Not Worried About Recent Talk of
Attacks Upon Present Status-Not
Going to Oyster Bay.

Speaker Cannon looked in on Wash
ington long enough to make a few de-
partment calls and to indicate that he
didn't expect a special session of Con-
gress- He was on his way West after
an outing in the northern New York
country.
When the Speaker was here a few
weeks ago. fresh from Illinois, he was
asked if he would call at Oyster Bay,
and replied that he had no business
there and didn't suppose the President
had any with him. He didn't think
there would be an extra session. In
this view he is supported by pretty
nearly everybody, which wasn't true
when he first gave it out
The Speaker has not been worried by
the recent manifestation OF interest in
the tariff issue. and the belief that he
will stiffen up the House organization
so far as possible, in anticipation of the
necessity for resisting any tariff at
tacks is growing It is this impression
that has caused considerable interest in
the MCCleary gossip in connection with
the Craftsmanship of appropriations.
McCieary suits the Speaker in tariff
views, and last year he had a big fight
for denomination because of his stand
pat views. He Will have another fight
next year, in all likelihood. and q pro-
motion TO the appropriations leadership
would be a great help to him.
