 Washington, Aug. 1.--President Jor- dan and Secretary Cheatham of the Southern Cotton association today is- sued a statement addressed to the members of the association calling at- tention to the recent disclosures in the cotton statistical work in the depart ment of agriculture declaring that ef- forts. are being made to divert attention from the 'defciencies" of the system it. self Ito the thieving propensities of few unworthy officials" and setting forth demands to be made on congress to reform conditions. The statement follows:
 TO the members of the Southern Cotton association: The members Of the association have been apprised through the public press from day to day of the work done by the officers of the as- sociation at Washington. AS a result of their charges the unreliabiIity of the reports of the department of agriculture relating to the cotton crop has been fuI- ly disclosed and the maladministration of that department under it's present head had been made evident.
 Following these exposures efforts are HOW being made to divert public atten- ton from the main issue, which is, the imperfections of the department, to- ward an attempted prosecution of any of any man who can be found a sa scapegoat. Their punishment, even if 1t is accomplished, is of secondary irn- portance as compared with the refor- nation of the system which has made their performances possible and the purpose Of this address is to secure the co-operation of the members of this as- sociatfon influencing in every legitimate way a reformation of the system and q reorganization of the department.

Under the present circumstances a great duty devolves upon the nem- bers of the association We are less

ODD FELLOW INSURANCE.
How one Company Was Organized to
 Wreck Another.


 Philadelphia, Aug. 1.--In a bill filed in the common pleas court here to-day, five directors in the Odd Fellows Mu- tual Life Insurance society of Penn sylvania are charged by Henry F. Walton, the receiver. with wrecking the concern. He accuses them oH fraudulently transferring $60,O00 from the treasury to the Mutual Life In- surance company of Pennsylvania, and of illegally collecting $50,000 in premi- ums on Odd Fellows policies. In con- sequence of this, the receiver says, the concern failed last March. In the suit brought to-day he asks the court to compel the five directors and ten oth- CTS to make good the $110,000 alleged to have been fraudulently taken. The receiver asks for a complete accounting by the directors.
 The Odd Fellows Mutual Life Insur- ance society of Pennsylvania limited it's business to members of the order. The way it was wrecked, the receiver says, was by the organization of an- other concern, the Mutual Life Insur- ance company of Pennsylvania, which assumed most of the business. The Mutual Life Insurance company, he declares in his bill, was a limited part nership, which was not authorized to carry on the life insurance business, and such life insurance as it did was illegal.

 Memphis, Tenn, Aug. IA special to the Commercial-Appeal from Baton Rouge, La, says: A clash between the . Mississippi and Louisiana authorities over quarantine regulations is immi- nent. A private dispatch was received in the city to-day stating that Missis- sippi soldiers employed as quarantine guards had invaded Louisiana with arms and that boats were patrolling the mouth of Rigolets lake and Pearl river, off the Louisiana coast, to pre- vent Louisiana boats from leaving.
 Governor Blanchard directed Briga- dier-GeneraI Perraliat, of his staff, and Captain J. ". Bostwick, commanding the states naval militia, to investigate and report
 Governor Blanchard also telegraphed Governor yardaman, of Mississippi:
 Have reliable information that Mis- sissippi quarantine guards, armed, crossed over to the Louisiana side at Pearl river. do not believe this was on orders, but was the thoughtless con- duct merely of a few. To obviate un- favorable comment and friction please give orders that your guards remain on their own side of the line"
 Late this afternoon Governor Blanch- ard received the following telegram from President Souchon, of the state board of health:
 "A patrol boat of the state of Missis- sippi patrolled Lake Borgne, and, after prohibiting fishermen from fishing in the lake, is now guarding the exit of Lake Borgne canal, preventing any boat from coming out. This is an un- warrantable usurpation and invasion of Louisiana waters, and our attorney ad- Vises me to ask you to wire proper au- thorities in Washington at once to in-, tervene, or take matters in hand your Eelf.'' seso Ss.-
 Governor Blanchard then telegraphed. Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi:
 Have information Mississippi patrols have forbidden fishermen from fishing in Lake BorgTe and are now guarding exit of Lake Borgne canal, preventing boats from coming out. Is this by your orders or of those of health au- thorities of your state? No such state of affairs can be tolerated. You have a right to prohibit boats landing on Mis- sissippi shores, but not from navigat- ing lake, sound and gulf channels, which are navigable waters of the Unit ed States
 Governor Blanchard also telegraphed President Souchon that he would take prompt steps to protect Louisiana's rights. 7,

British Commission. Makes Measuring E Report-storage of Grain.

London, Aug, 1.-The royal commis- sion under the presidency of the Princa .of Wales, appointed in April, 1903 to study the question of the importation of food in time of war and other sinli- lar subjects, has just presented it's re- port to parliament The contents of the report have not. yet. been published, but on the whole, it is understood, they are reassuring. The main report, which is concurred in by all the co1nmission- CTS, concludes that there is no cause for apprehension or uneasiness, because it would be virtually impossible. noting the adequacy of the fleet, for the whole of the British coasts to be blocked sirn- ultaneously. At the same time the com- missioners do not discourage the exper- iment in the direction of the storage of grain for times of emergency.
 An important reservation, almost amounting to a minority report, signed by the Duke of Sutherland and some others of the commissioners points out that at certain seasons of the. year there is only sex-Weeks' reserve of grain stored in England, and strongly urges the importance of the adoption of a national systemsof grain storage.
