Accused of Selling InfOrma~

WASHINGTON, July s.--The Post today
says that as q result of the investigation
of the charges involving the cotton statis-
tics of the Department OF Agriculture. the
removal of Edwin S. Holmes, associate
statistician, who was suspended some days
ago. will be announced by Secretary Wilson
today in connection with the report of
secret service agents.
There is the best authority" the Post
says, "for the statement that the report
will show that the charges of Richard
Cheatham of Atlanta, secretary of the
Southern Cotton association, that figures
relative to the cotton crop were not only
manipulated for the purpose of affecting
the market at different times, were sus-
tanned, but that they were given out in ad-
vance for use in a speculative way by a
broker In New York.
The secret service agents found that
Holmes had grown immensely wealthy in a
few years. While receiving a small gov
ernment salary. 1t is alleged that he is
building large apartment house in Wash

PICKETS AGAIN GO ON DUTY
Chicago Department store Drivers
WIN Place w"tche" Around

CHICAGO, July ALARMED over the
large number of desertions from their ranks
and the increasing Generalization among
their members. the department store drivers
have decided to resume picketing tomorrow
at all of the department stores involved
in the strike. The unions entire force,
comprising over 600 men, will be required
to do picket duty. The plan was brought
TO the attention of the teamsters' joint
council tonight, and received the formal
ratification of that body.
Not since President Roosevelt's visit has
picketing to any noticeable extent been in
stfect.
Some mystery is supposed to surround the
exact purpose of the picketing revival.
Union leaders were not disposed TO discuss
the plan at length. Those who did talk
professed to know that II was with a view

ton of business. Some said the pickets

POWERS TO FEDERAL COURT
Judge Cochran Takes Jurisdiction OF
Case of the Alleged Ken
lucky Murderer,

NASHVILLE, KY, July 7.-Caleb Powers
is to be tried in the United States courts
for completely in the murder of William
Goebel at Frankfort. This was settled here
today when United States District Judge
Cochran announced that he would take
Jurisdiction in the case, as had been re-
quested by attorneys for Powers.
Judge Cochran's opinion holds that the
prosecution against Caleb Powers pending
in the Scott county court has been removed
TO the United States circuit court for the
eastern district OF Kentucky by the re-
moval proceedings taken in Powers behalf
under section G41 United States Revised
Statutes and sustains his motion for a
writ of habeas corpus to transfer his GUS
tody from that of the state of Kentucky
to that OF the United States.
The ground upon which the court makes
its finding is that from the petition of the
removal and the transcript of the record
In the state court 1t appears defendant has
been and is denied the equal protection Of
the laws by the Scott county circuit court
and cannot enforce his rights thereto in the
court of appeals because of section PSI of
the criminal code as construed by that
court
The court further holds that the decision
of the state courts against the validity of
the Taylor pardon is not good ground
for removal, as 1t feels bound by that de-
cision as TO the validity of the pardon and
the validity thereof is not secured by the
equal protection of the last clause of the
fourteenth amendment.
The largest crowd ever assembled in the
court house here was present to hear the
reading of the petition. 1t required about
three hours to finish 1t.

HIGH WATER IN MINNEAPOLIS
Great Log jam Mennces All Bridges
In the City-PumpinE station
Closed.


MINNEAPOLIS July with the water
standing at thirteen feet two inches cur
rent began moving through the mighty log
jam at Camden in North Minneapolis
today and expert logging men now believe
the jam will not break. Should It do so
the rush OF the pent-up waters and the
immense mass of logs, now estimated at
nearly 150OO0OO0 feet, will in all probability
tear out every bridge in Minneapolis and
destroy hundreds Of houses along the Mis-
sissippi fats.
The Camden Place pumping station, which
up to about month ago was the main
source of water supply for the city of Min
neapolis, was closed this evening, the rising
waters finally putting out the fires.
The log jam is said to be the greatest
ever known. II stretches for thousands Of
feet up the river, piled high in the air in
places and almost completely blocking the
upper river. So solid has the tremendous
mass of logs become under the pressure
of the current and the constantly increasing
number of logs that up to last night all eff
forts to move It proved futile. Now the
efforts are being directed toward prevent
ing the mass going out at once, and today
a crew of twelve expert jam workers was
put to work trying to alleviate this danger.

The great aim of the convention is to

necessity OF constant personal attention to
missionary work was dwelt upon.
