Resignation

not contain the slightest intima
ton derogatory to his personal
probity, yet they have given col
or to the story that the depart
ment may be given a new chief,
after the present trouble has pass
ed over.
Speaking for his father, Pri-
Yate Secretary Jasper Wilson,
said today that the secretary will
not retire at the present time as a
result of the scandal in the de-.
partment.
The interview with President
Harvie Jordan, Of the Southern
Cotton Growers Association,
published today, and the fact
that he and Secretary Cheatham
have left Atlanta for Oyster Bay
to confer with President Roose-
welt indicate that they are not
satisfied with the removal, OF
Holmes, but are going to make a
fight on Statistician Hyde.
It is not understood that 10 rdan
and Cheatham have any specific
charges to prefer against Hyde;
but they insist that Hyde
by permitting Holmes TO run the
Bure au Of Statistics for his owr
gain, has proved himself incom-
petent and unfit for his respon.
sible position and. therefore
should be removed.
