they might bring against the railways.
The court issued an order at that time
preventing the enforcement of the law

BRISTOW'S OLD MEN.
VIII Be Employed in Investigating the
Agricultural Bureau of Statistics.

Washington, July 12.-The investiga-

torney Morgan Beach to look into the
charges that there has been d leakage
of information in the manner of prepar-
ing the government cotton report will
be far more exhaustive than that con-
Quoted by the secret service, at the
request of Secretary Wilson of the de-
partment of agriculture. Acting Attor-
ney General Hoyt has completed his
examination of the PAPERS transmitted
to .him by Secretary Wilson and he
thinks there should be a further and
detailed legal inquiry. With that end
in view he has committed the entire
matter to MI. Beach who intends to
complete his examination of the case
before he retires from the position OF
United States as$0rney on August 81.
He has taken the subject up as prose-
cutting attorney and in all probability
matter is brought into the courts, as
an outcome of the investigation that is
believed by the department of Justice
officials to be certainty.
No expense will be spared in gather
ing evidence of the methods alleged to
have been employed by Edwin S.
Holiness the dismissed associate sta=
tistician of the department of agricul-
ture and in exposing any accOmp1iceS
he may have had in his operations. Mr..
Beach will have the benefit of the labors
of secret service men who were employ
ed by Secretary Wilson and also of the
best legal talent in his own office.
Working on the case will be a number
of men who ferretted out much of the
evidence used in the prosecution of post
office frauds. It is planned to conduct
the examination secretly on the grounds
that it will be much more effective. It
has not been decided whether the case
will be submitted to the grand jury
prior to arrests, if it is found that ar
rests are warranted, but it is not be-
lieved this will be the procedure. The
grand jury has adjourned for the sum-
mer. though if it is found advisable a
special grand jury might be summoned.

LETTER TO ROOSEVELT
Cotton Exchange Wants Corrupt Gov

New York. July 12.-The New York
cotton exchange made public the fol-
lowing letter today:
1.-The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the United States, Washing ton,
D. C. Dear Sir: On behalf of the New
York cotton exchange I want to say
that it's members have been greatly
shocked by the recent disclosures of the
corruption in the department of agri-
culture, upon which reports they have
depended for accurate information on
the conduct of their common business.
''I beg to request that a full investi-
cation be made of the, methods which
led to the corruption with view of pre-
venting the possibility of recurrence and
that the guilty ones be adequately pun
ished.
s.Official reports should be above the
suspicion of publication in the interest
of any persons for their individual
benefit and as president of this exchange
[ wish to put its members upon record
as utterly opposed to such culpable pro-
ceedings.
ION the line of common honesty I ask
you for your most emphatic condemna-
ton and action upon the practices which
make legitimate business and put the
members of our body at the mercy of
truckers and knaves.
with great respect, l am, Yours
Truly (Signed),

President of the New York

SENATOR WON'T TALK

oyster Bay, L. l., July 12.-Senator
F. c. Knox of Pennsylvania, former at
torney general, held a long and i'm
portant conversation with the presi-
dent last night at Sycamore Hill. The
senator on an invitation of the presi-
dent was an overnight guest of Mr..
Roosevelt. The conference, which was
continued until a late hour, covered a
wide range of subjects. but related to
one matter in particular which is of
profound personal and official concern
to the president. No statement was
made about the result of the confer
ence. Senator Knox, who left Oyster
Bay on a morning train for New York,
declined to discuss for publication the
result of his interview with the presi-
dent. It is not unlikely that he may
go from New York to Washington, al
though he had not determined when
he left here whether it would be neces-
sary for him to go to Washington. If,
after communicating with Washington
by telephone from New York, he
should find it unnecessary to go to the
home at Valley Forge.
Interest was aroused here today by
a report that M. Muravieff, former
minister of justice, who recently was
plenipotentiaries to the peace confer
ence, would not be able to participate
in the conference and that Pout1Ioff,
one of the directors of the RusSo-Chl-
nese bank and Russian minister to
China, has been appointed in his stead.
Confirmation of the appointment of
Poutiloff is not obtainable here at
this time although it is known that
Muravieff is not in the best OF health

Mr.. CLOSE is VERY Low
Assistant Attorney General Seriously
Ill at Home in Potwin.

J. F. Close, the assistant attorney
general of the state of Kansas, is very
seriously i'll at his home, 221 Woodlawn
avenue. While the doctors say that his
condition is critical, it was stated that
he seemed to be feeling better this
morning than last night. Mr.. Closes
chief trouble is with his kidneys, but
some time ago he suffered from an at
tack of the grip which left him with
heart trouble.
In the absence of Attorney General
Coleman, Mr.. Close is in charge of that
department of the state administration,
and his work as assistant attorney gen
eral has been one of the redeeming
features of the office since the Coleman
regime commenced. He has looked af-
ter the routine work of the Office, and
the work in the general run of the
states business in the supreme court
has fallen or him.
Mr.. Closes home is at BellevilIe, Re-
public county, and before his appoint
ment as assistant attorney general, he
was one of the leading attorneys OF
northern Kansas.

OVER $4,000, 600 MORE
State Valuations Have Made a Sub
stantiaI Increase.

Contrary to expectations, the state
board of equalization, in session to-
day, discovered that the assessed vaft1-
alton of personal property in the state
of Kansas has increased over $3,0O0,-
600 during the past year instead of
falling off on account of the shortage
in live stock.
Consequently, it may be unnecessary
to make much, if any, increase in the
tax levy this year.
There is an increase in the assessed
valuation of railroad property, also in
real estate, so that the aggregate in
crease in assessed valuation for the
state will run close to $10,000,000.
When the board of equalization,
composed of Treasurer Kelly, Auditor
Wells and Secretary Burrow, met to-
day in the office of the auditor, there
were a dozen county clerks, county at
torneys. and county commissioners on
hand, representing different counties
of the state which wanted their per-
sonal4property assessment diminished.
A. Newman, county clerk of Shaw
nee, was present, and will simply re-
new his request that the board grant
a % per cent reduction in the valua-
ton of real estate, as was done last
year. It is not expected that Shawnee
will get any reduction in personal
valuation
