OF kANEKO,S INTERVIEW.

Mr.. Roosevelts message to NJ. Witte

been the result of mis- interview yester-
day at Oyster Bay with Baron Kaneko.
one of Marquis Ito's close friends. who
has acted as the Presidents medium Of
communication with the Toxic govern
ment. A story was in circulation at the
hotel this afternoon to the effect that
Baron Kanekos secretary, Mr.. Sato, was
here in communication with the Japanese
pienipotentiaries and also with Mr.. Peirce,
but investigation developed the fact that
although Mr.. Sato had been here week
ago. he was not here today. 1t has been
ascertained that in addition to the Presi-
dents communication to M. Witte through
Baron de Rosen last Sunday, and by
messenger today messages directly to
Emperor Nicholas have been delivered
by Ambassador Meyer at st. Petersburg,
but no official confirmation is obtainable.
The general disposition was to regard
today's swift and kaleidscopic develop
ments as materially Frightening the
chances Of the success of the Presideut's .

Grand Jury In Washington and
AS Tells What He Knows
SO of the Affair.
CHEATHAM MUCH PLEASED

washington, August 22.-(special)-It
no" looks as If the efforts of United
States Attorney Morgan Beach to bring
those guilty of bribing and recefv,nsr
prioes in connection with the advance
information on the cotton REPORTS. of rho
bureau of statistics Of the department
OF agriculture to Justice, will meet with
success. For same weeks, the matte. has
hung In doubt and. at one time. II was
believed that the secret service men and
local detectives would be unable tn ana
evidence strong enough to indict the CON
spirators- Now, however. 1t has been
learned from reliable sources that the
chances are strongly In favor OF indict-
ments.
Main Efforts Against Holmes.
The main efforts of Mr. Beach and his
detectives have been against Holmes.
Their idea was to prove that Holmes
received bribes and WIS guilty of collu-
sion with outside parties to furnish them
advance information on the reports and
to manipulate the figures of the reports
SO that they would tally with the ad-
vance information or In case that should
prove incorrect by reports received from
correspondents of the bureau which came
In late.
BY proving this the government ex-
pected to fasten on New York brokers
the guilt of briblng Holmes, and either
force Holmes to confess who the men
were, or lay circumstancial evidence be-
fore the grand jury sufficiently strong to
bring an indictment against the out
siders.
Both Are Greatly Pleased.
It is known that Haryie Jordan and
Richard Cheatham. president and secre-
| tary, respectively, of the Southern Cotton
Growers association. are greatly pleased
with Information recently received from
Mr. Beach. They feel that their fight
will result not only in the dismissal of
Hyde and Holmes and the reorganiza-
ton of the bureau of statistics but In the
buying and selling Of confidential infor-
nation.
Today Secretary Wilson appeared be-
fore the grand jury and told what he
knew of the affair. The affidavit of John
Hyde, former chief statistican, which is
believed to have been sent from London.
has not yet reached Washington.
Neither Mr.. Wilson or Mr. Hyde could
throw much light on the case, and their
testimony was desired merely to illustrate
to the Jury the manner in which the
cotton crop reports were made up under
the Hyde regime and how 1t was possible
for leaks to occur.

slxty-nine positive cases of fever. fifty
three suspicious cases. and 146 cases OF

Protection Of Women.

We may refine as much as We like
and philosophize all we please, but
there is an instructive feeling in every
healthy man that insult and violence
to women on the part OF men should
be met by corporal punishment. Priva-
tion of liberty as by Imprisonment
does not meet the case, nor do fines,
which, in the case of wife-beating, the
victim generally pays. Leave this
sort of thing to women and what pun
ishment would be awarded? Is there
woman who has suffered from mans
insults or felt the weight of his fist
that would not say that whipping is de.
served?
Touching such outrages, 1t seems to
us that men in making law forget the
differences of sex which make the vic
tim practically helpless. She can not
resent 1t even as the smallest man can
against large one. By her femininity
she is not on an equality for the protec-
ton that instinct tells us Is of the last
ing kind. We know by experience
that the punishment that our laws have
decreed is not sufficient. For ourselves
we agree with the President that the
wife-beater ought to be whippCd.-ln'
