Purely a Political Crime.

st. Petersburg, July 1.-THE assas.
sination of Prefect of Police Count
Shouyaloff of Moscow, today is consid.
cred to be a purely political crime as
the count was not yet 40 years OF
age, and was regarded as being of the
best type of the Russian official. He
came from one of the most famous
families of Russia. The count was
a son of Count Peter Shouvaloff, a
statesman who represented Russia at
the Berlin conference, was formerly
colonel of the Guard regiment, known
as the st. Petersburg and was one OF
Emperor Nicholas personal friends. He
succeeded General Zelenoi, who was
extremely severe, as prefect of police
at Odessa earlier in his career. Count
ShOuvalOff earned the esteem of all by
his firm business course, making him.
self particularly popular with the stu.
dents. The impression exists here
that the count was killed for preserv.
ing order. The zemstvoists will not
be allowed to meet at Moscow July
10, although this act is simply in ex.
ecution of the orders of the governor
general issued previous to the assas
sination of the prefect of police.

WILSON
STANDS BY REPORT
Will Insist On Most Thorough
Investigation Of Affairs.
NEW SYSTEM NOW IN VOGUE

Every Precaution Will Be Taken to
See that There Is No Further Leak
age Of rmation-Nothing from
Mr.. Price.
Washington, July 11.-Unless there
are new developments in connection
with the cotton leak investigation,
Secretary Wilson said today that he
proposed to stand on the report of the
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
Secretry Hayes, Chief Statistician
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 leak through
private signals.
No communications of any sort have
been received from Mr.. Price, or his
attorney, and the secretary believes
that SO far as the cotton investigation
is concehrned it is closed incident.
