COTTON REPORT SCANDh |
FURTHER COMPLICATED
Scope of Investigation Is Widening-To
Establish Fact OF Former
Leakages.

The scope of the investigation of the
alleged 'leakages'' in the cotton report
is widening, as was stated in The Times
yesterday.
Information was gained this morning
from reliable sources at the Department
OF Agriculture, that all the crop reports
compiled in the Bureau of Statistics
would be Investigated in an effort to
obtain, If possible, whether other leak
ages were occurring. and 1t was init
mated that Secret Service men are at
work in all large cities to ascertain If
any information on the reports of
wheat, corn. oats, and other grain
products were being given out In advance
of the monthly reports from the de-
rartment-
It was tntimated at the department
that Secretary Wilson is endeavoring to
obtain a possible clue as to whether a
conspiracy exists or existed in the bu-
reau for the purpose of working a sys-
tematic scheme TO furnish advance in
formation on crop reports to bearish
brokers in New York, Chicago. and
other large cities. and owing to the
marked secrecy observed in the cotton
Investigation It IS believed that the
charges submitted by Richard Cheat
ham. secretary of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association, has developed
into a more serious aspect than at first
anticipated.
John Hyde, statistician of the Depart
n-ent Of Agriculture. who sailed for Eu-
rope several days ago, has been sum-
mCned to return with all possible haste,
though it is learned from the Secre-
tary's Office that no suspicion falls
upon Mr.. Hyde. but that his presence
al the department is preferable at this
time.
Secretary Cheatham. of the Cotton
Growers Association. left this city for
New York late Saturday night. his trip
| being, IT is learned. in connection with
the furnishing of some new evidence in
the case. He Is expected to return to-
night Or tomorrow morning.
Secretary Wilson declined to give out
any information concerning the inves-
/ tigation, preferring, il was stated. to
await further Developments.
