LANDING OF ENEMYs TROOPS ON
ISLAND OF. sAkHALIN oFFl.
clALLY REPORTED.
NEWS sTAR1lEs ST. PETERSBURG
GARRISON ON THE ISLAND TOO
WEAK TO OFFER AN EFFEc.
TIVE DEFENSE.

st. Petersburg, July 10.-A Landing
of Japanese troops on the island of
Sakhalin has been officially reported
and startled military circles In st. Pc
tersburg, though it has been realized
since the defeat of Admiral Rojestven-
Sky that the Japanese were able to
take possession of the island as soon
as they thought fit. The strength of
the landing force cannot be ascertain
ed, but the garrison of the island is
too weak to offer an effective defense.
Though the Japanese seem unwill-
ing to risk a general battle with Gen
eral Iinevitch pending the peace meet
ing at Washington the landing of
troops at Sakhalin is considered to
express Japan's decision regarding the
formal conclusion of general armis-
tice, namely, that in the interval be-
fore the meeting it is necessary to oc-
cupy the island whose possession is
an important card in Japan's diplo-
matte contest at Washington.

DECISION CAUSES NO ALARM.
Out1a.wed Gas Company Will Continue
Business in Kansas.

Business in Kansas.
Plttsburg, July 10.-The decision of
the Kansas state supreme court pro-
hibiting the Kansas Natural Gas COM
pany from engaging in business in
Kansas is not received with alarm by
the owners of the company, who are
Pittsburgers.
1t is entirely probable that the let
ter of the Kansas supreme court man
date will be obeyed, but that the busi-
ness of the corporation in that state
will hereafter be transacted in the
name of the subsidiary concerns,
which are controlled by the Kansas
Natural Gas company
Both President Barnsdall and Direc-
tor John S. Scolly intimated this and
referred to the fact that a half dozen
corporations, controlled by the same
interests, had been regularly char
tered in Kansas and the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company's holdings either
had been or would be shortly trans
ferred to one of these. Commenting
on the opinion President Barnsdall
said;
''The supreme court decision will
not injure us to any extent. We have
other companies doing business in
Kansas"
The Kansas Natural Gas company
has $4,000, 600 btocl1 and S4,O0O,O00
bonds, of which nearly all is held in
Pittsburg. The company was incor-
pOrated in Delaware and had oil and
gas holdings of 250,000 acres at one
time, with production Of many mil
lions OF feet of. gas per day.

act of Waller.
Two pistol shots awakened other

SECRETARY WILSON DIsMlssEs
sTATlsTIcIAN OF AeRlcUL.
TURAL DEPARTMENT.
ADVANCE IMPORTATION GIVEN OUT
CHARGES OF COTTON PLANTERs'
ASSOCIATION PROVE TO
BE WELL FOUNDED.

Washington, July 10.-As the result
OF the investigation by secret service
agents into the charges made by Rich
ard Cheatham, secretary of the Cotton
Planters association, that information
had been. given to cotton brokers in
New York. by some person or persons
in the bureau of statistics Of the de-
partment of agriculture, Secretary
Wilson has made public an official re-
port in which he states that Edwin S.
Holmes, the associate statistician, has
been guilty of Juggling the official
report. The report says:
1t has been found that Mr.. Holmes
communicated advance information to
L. G. Van Ripper, a New York broker,
and M. Haas of New York, who acted
as a go-between in conveying informa-
ton from Holmes to other New York
brokers, including Theodore Price,
Steps have been taken by Secretary
Wilson to prevent any further leakage
OF the department figures and an en-
tire reorganization of the bureau of
statistics and manner of preparing
monthly crop reports has been out
lined by him. The papers in connec-
ton with the investigation were re-
ferred to the United States attorney
for the District of Columbia and he
has reported that in his opinion a
criminal prosecution will not lie
against Holmes. Holmes has been
dismissed from the service of the de-
partnent.
Much Evidence Secured.
According to the report Wilson
Judd of New York, formerly in the
employ of L. N. Van Ripper, induced
the latter to tell of his connection with
Holmes and then communicated the
information to Mr.. Cheatham. Van
Ripper became the principal witness in
the investigation conducted by secret
service agents and said he was in
duced to communicate the fact that
advance information was being given
out by Holmes because he had heard
that Holmes and his associates had
intended to try to manipulate the June
cotton report. Using this information
as foundation the secret service
agents interviewed numerous persons
who had been mentioned by Judd and
Van Ripper, and gathered a mass of
correspondence, including many let
ters written by Holmes to Van Ripper
and others.
Victor H. Olmsted has been appoint
ed associate statistician of the de-
partment of agriculture to succeed Mr..
Holmes. Mr.. Olmstead has for some
time past held the position of chief
of the division Of domestic crop re-
ports in the bureau of statistics and
was also formerly assistant statisti-
clan of the department. He was as
sistant director of the censuses Of
Cuba and the Philippines.
