See that There Is No Further Leak.
age Of MISUNDERSTANDING from
Mr.. Price.
Washington. July 12.-Unless theer
are new developments in connection
with the cotton leak invest.S ..un,
Secretary Wilson said today that he
proposed to stand on the report Of ths
secret service officers. He expected
however. that the Investigation would
give rise to various rumOrs and stories
of irregularities in connection with
the departments reports on other
products, but that where there was the
slightest tangible evidence to work up
on, he declared, he would go to the
bottom of every complaint and publish
the results of his investigations. Al
ready, he said. the allegation had been
made that the tobacco figures had
been manipulated and the matter
would be looked into. But. for the
present, he had nothing further to say.
The new system of preparing the
monthly crop report devised since the
cotton investigation began, was put in
force today. The report will be made
public late in the afternoon and the
secretary believes that the steps taken
to safeguard the figures are well nigh
perfect Early In the day Assistant
Secretly Hayes, Chief Statist.cian
Hyde, and several experts of the de-
partment. were placed in a room un-
der lock and key, and they will not be
permitted to come out until O'Clock
In the afternoon.
The telephones in the room have
been disconnected, and a careful scruu-
tiny will be kept Of the windows to
avoid the possibility of a leak through
private signals.
No communications Of any sort have
been received from MT Price, Or his
attorney, and the secretary believes
that so far as the cotton investigation
Is concerned it is q closed incident.
