RIGID INQUIRY TO BE MADE INTO

WILSON COAFERs WITH ROOSEVELT
PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY DIS.
CUss SCANDALS ALREADY
UNDER INVESTIGATION.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. IA confer
ence took place during the day at Sag
amore Hill concerning the scandals re-
Gently developed in the department. of
agriculture at Washington.
President Roosevelt entertained at
luncheon Secretary Wilson of the de-
partment of agriculture, who had come
to Oyster Bay by invitation of the pres
ident to discuss the recent develops
ments of the cotton report leak scan
dal and Of the exploitation of nitro
culture which induced the resignation
of DR.. George T. Moore. Both of these
cases are now under investigation by
the department Of justice. By direc-
tion of the president the inquiries will
be made very thorough and if the facts
disclosed should warrant it prosecu-
tions against the offenders will be in
stituted by Attorney General Moody.
Meantime a rigid inquiry will be
made into all other bureaus Of the de-
partment of agriculture, it being the
intention of both the president and
Secretary Wilson to purge the depart
ment of any taint of corruption. With
this general inquiry the president is
not interfering in any way. Secretary
Wilson is directing it and the presi-
dents confidence in him is such that
he is assured the Investigation will de-
velop all the facts.
Secretary Wilson has no present
idea Of resigning and even if his resig-
nation were rendered it is probable
that the president would decline to
accept it.

New York, Aug. 1.-During a thun-s
der storm of terrific intensity which
passed over New York five persons
were struck by lightning and instantly
killed and nine were seriously injured
at the Parkway baths, Coney Island.
At the same time one man was killed
and three others prostrated at Graves

The intense heat of the morning at
tracted a great multitude to the shore
resorts and late in the afternoon when
the storm blew up from the west the
parkway beach was thronged with
bathers and spectators. The rain de-.
scended in torrents and hundreds of
men, women and children sought shell
ter under the big bathhouse, which is
elevated above the sand on piles IA
few minutes before 5 o'clock a bolt
struck the flagstaff and grounded in
the very thickest of the crowd. Near
ly fifty persons were prostrated and
the rest, screaming with terror, rushed
out into the storm.
Ambulances were summoned from
all the nearest hospitals and on their
arrival five Of the persons were found
dead and nine unconscious under the
bathhouse. The bodies of all were
scorched by the electric fluid. The
nine injured were removed to a hos
pital, where it was said that some
probably would die.
