DENOUNCES SHERIFF
Mine Leader Recalls Tragedy When StrIk.
ers Were Shot Down.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Aug. 22.-President
Mitchell addressed a large meeting OF
miners in this city yesterday afternoon.
Five thousand men escorted him from the
depot TO the place OF meeting. In the
course OF his address Mr.. Mitchell de-
nounced ex-Sherif James Martin in Sc
we're terms
Martin had charge OF the posse which
killed IL striking miners in the riot Of
Lattimer In September. 1897. Mitchell
said II visited Lattimer last Saturday
and IT brought back to my mind the sad
tragedy that occurred there eight years
ago.
Seventeen men were shot I'm the back
and killed. Only towards shoot men in
the back. The chief actor in that tragedy
is now drawing pay as a mine Inspector
He is a candidate for another term 1t
has been arranged that there is no op-
position 10 his election.
II am sorry TO say that there are some
men in the union who are giving support
20 Martin. They evidently do not know
what they are doing. How any union
miner can support such man for office
is beyond my comprehension. I mean
every word I say. Law-abiding citizens
should not associate with the man who
commanded the posse at Lattimer, let
alone vote for him"
The remainder OF Mr.. Mitchells address
was taken up in advising the miners TO
Join the union and remain loyal to it.

JOHN HYDE
DENIES ANY
JUGGLING

London. Aug. 22--John Hyde. formerly
statistician OF the Uuited States De-
partment OF Agriculture, who al present
is in London has been under the care OF
q physician for several weeks and is still
prohibited by his physician from attend
ing 10 business. To the press represen-
tative last night he said;
II have just seen for the first time the
revise cotton acreage report issued by
the Uuited States Department OF Agricul-
ture on July %. The crop estimating
board reduces the official estimate OF
June by more than 10000 acres and
even goes so far as 10 say that / made
the estimate lower than the reports re-
ceived from official reporters employed by
the bureau warranted
To this statement give unqualified de-
nial and assert that the most trustworthy
OF the various sets OF figures on which
the report OF June was based afforded
the most ample warrant for my estimete.
'It is only by an entire disregard Of the
reports OF county and township cores
pondents that the departments acreage
reports can be prevented from once moro
becoming the laughing stock of the world
For instance, the crop last year was es-
timeted by township correspondents at
correspondents at less than 1000 600
bales. Failure on the part OF the board
20 recognize the widely varying degrees
OF reliability which characterize the re-
ports OF It's different classes OF correspon-
dents will inevitably destroy the value OF
its reports for general statistical pur-
poses"
Mr.. Hyde says that he has forwarded
an affidavit 10 Washington covering his
connection with the cotton report. He
says that he expects TO return TO America
about Oct. 1.
Washington, Aug. 22.-Both Secretary
Wilson and Assistant Secretary Hays of
the Department OF Agriculture read with
interest last night the statement made by
Mr.. Hyde regarding the controversy over
the crop-estimaung figures OF June 2
Mr.. Hays, who supervises the work OF
the crop-estimating board OF the depart
ment may issue a statement showing the
methods employed in arriving at the esti-
mate which took the place OF that made
on June 2.
He insists that the reduction in acreage
made by the crop-estimat ting board over
that or the estimate OF June was war
ranted by the reports from the correspon-
dents OF the Department OF Agriculture
and was determined by following the
practices therefore In vogue In the statls-
tician's ONCE.
Mr.. Hyde's AFFIDAVIT covering his con-
nection with the cotton report has not
yet reached Washington.
