''The appearance of yello W

Of Mississippi to establish rigid
quarantine against that city and
the State of Louisiana. When

Of Mississippi h a suspicious

OF New Orleans every effort was
made by DR.. Hunter, secretary of
the board, to discover the real
situation. The usual dissimula-
ton and evasion was practiced
by the health authorities of New
Orleans and the State OF Louis
lana, but finally an admission
was extorted that yellow fever
existed there. Reports this morn
ing from the infected section re-
veal q rather discoursging con-
dition of affairs, and the death
rate indicates that the fever is of

OF Mississippi would avoid this

by all OF the people Of Mississip-

any other person the Secretary
so stubbornly resisted all efforts
on the part of the cotton men to
have an investigation, but now
that an inquiry is on foot there
is no telling where it will stop,
or who may be involved in the
scandal.
SECRETARY CHEATHAM'S OPINION.
The bulletin issued by the crop
estimating board of the depart
ment this afternoon sustained
the claims Of the cotton growers
that the June estimates on acre
age were wrong and argued
strongly for another report. At
the same time it was a reprimand
to Hyde for making up his re-
port at the prompting of Holmes,
placing the estimates hig her than
the facts at his hand from the re-
ports from the seven classes of
reporters employed by the bureau
warranted.
On the same figures that gave
Hyde and Holmes an estimate of
II per cent reduction in acreage
the crop estimating board found
14.9 per cent.
The Southern Cotton Growers
Association claimed 18 per cent.
Secretary NCheatham, of the
Southern Cotton Growers Asso-
citation, commenting upon the
departments new estimate, said
tonight to the Commercial Ap-
peal's correspondent:
Il do not think that the Off
cial's of the Agricultural De-
partment have worri Q d much
over the matter, or did an over
amount of labor. karly this
morning, in company with Rep
resentative Livingstone of Geor-
gia and others, | wrote my guess
that figures would bs 14.9 per
cent. ] was asked later how
knew. Take the estimate our
association made of 1910 per
cent and add the Holmes-Hyde
estimate of IL 40 per cent. Split
the sum and you get today's fig
ures."
There is no intention on the
part Of Secretary Wilson to do
anything further toward getting
out new report on acreage.

A Washington special says:
President Roosevelt caused a
sensation both in the Agricul-
tural Department and the De-
partment of Justice yesterday by
demanding by telegraph, why
John Hyde, formerly Chief Sta
tistician in charge Of the crop re-
ports, had been permitte d to
leave the United States before
the Grand Jury had made its re-
port on the investigation. The
information of Hyde's secret de-
parture reached the President as
quickly as it did the officials here
and he was not slow in telling
those in charge of affairs here Of
his displeasure. 1t also is re-
ported that Holmes, who was
Hyde's associate, has gone to
Canada.
SEVERE CRITICISM OF HYDE.
Mr.. Hyde is being severely
criticised in the Agricultural De-
partment for running away at
this time instead of giving Sec
retary Wilson the support in the
investigation of tie department
which the Secretary gave him
when the charges were originally
preferred against the Bureau of
Statistics.
After his resignation az Chief
Ststistieian had been accepted
by the Secretary Mr.. Hyde as
sured his friends in the depart
ment that he would remain in
Washington to give the District
Attorney all the assistance he
could in his investigation. With
in twenty-four hours, and with
out consulting anyone. he was on
his way to Europe.
is rather curious that Secre-
tary Wilson placed every conf
dsnce in Hyde, refusing to be-
lieve that a leak from the crop
report or the manipulation of fig
ures was possible in his bureau.
And Hyde had the same blind
confidence in his s o C a t e
Holmes. Yet, Holmes betrayed
Hyde and Hyde disappointed
Secretary Wilson. 1t was Hyde

charges of leakage in his bureau
