COTTON LEAK TO BE PRoBED.
Grand Jury of the District of Column
ba Will Take Matter Up.

Washington, July 25. - The grand
jury of the District of Columbia will
take up to-day the allegations that
there has been jugglery in the cotton
crop statistical reports of the depart
ment of agriculture, with a view to
possible indictment or Indictments.
This action is the immediate re-
department. which eliminated in the
dismissal of Edwin S. Holmes, the as
sociate statistician.
"criminaI Practices"
The announcement that the grand
jury would meet to consider the sub
ject was made in statement issued
by United States District Attorney
Morgan H. Beach.
To-day's meeting is in pursuance of
call issued by the district attorney
July 90, and is to consider among 9TH
Ell things certain criminal practices
alleged to exist and to have existed in
one of the executive departments
Mr.. Beach absolutely declined to ad-
nit which one of the departments this
statement had reference to, but it is.
known that it relates to the depart
ment of agriculture.
Mustn't Ask Questions.
Mr. Beach's statement adds:
Pending action by that body it is
earnestly hoped, as it is confidently
believed, that no inquiries will be
made of the district attorneys Office
upon the subject. To inquire of any
member of the grand jury or of a wit
ness, either under subpoena or after
discharge. as to anything transpiring
before that body constitutes contempt.
This general statement is made to
excuse the district attorney from per-
sonal interviews with gentlemen of
the press. They have always shown
this office the greatest consideration
and preserved his confidence inviola-
bly,. But the very limited time and
force at his disposal render this
course imperative, and no further
statement will be made until the
grand jury announces in open court
the result of its investigation. -,
Wait for Report. ~
There may be much, or little. or
nothing, to report. but while the ex.
animation is pending, it must. as the
law commands, be entirely secret

foreman OF the grand jury.
