THE COTTON SCANDAL
Will Be Probed to the Bottom at
Once.

OnCe.
President Roosevelt has determin-
ed that the scandal growing out of
the cotton report leaks in the depart
ment of agriculture shall be probed to
the bottom. He holds that the man
or men responsible for the leaks are
in greater degree culpable than they
would have been had they stolen the
money outright from the government.
He proposes that Assistant Statisti-
clan Holmes, against whom serious al
legations are made, shall be punished
if it shall be found possible to secure
his arrest and conviction under pres
ent laws.
The president has followed the work
of investigation conducted by Secre-
tary Wilson with keen interest. The
general results have been reported to
him, together with such recommends
tions as Secretary Wilson had to
make.
The president took prompt and de-
cisive action. He referred the matter
to the department of justice, with in
structions that it should be given i'm
mediate and careful attention. In &C
cordance with that order Solicitor
General Hoyt is now making a thor
ough inquiry into the case.

Special to The Herald,

BALTIMORE Md, Jan. 14.-To per-
form the remarkable feats of record
ing the depression of the earth's sur
face from the flowing of the tide into
Baltimore bay; the warping of the
earth's crust resulting from low baro-
metric pressure in one end of the coun-
try and high pressure at another ex-
treme and to register the effect of the
suns evaporation OF the moisture Of
the earth, are some of the remarkable
things hoped to be accomplished by
the department of geological physics
in Johns Hopkins University with a
new seismograph or earthquake shock
recorder which is soon to be installed
in the geological building.
The new machine which will proba-
bly, be the only one OF it's kind in the
country, is being made under the di-
rectlon of DR.. H. r. Reid, professor OF
geological physics in Johns Hopkins
University and is made after a pattern
set by the italian school of scientists
For several years Reid has had this
seismograph in operation at the univer-
sity and many interesting records have
been made with II here in Baltimore of
earthquake shocks in other parts of
the world.
For long distance shocks of that sort,
the former selsmographs are all right,
but Reid is desirous of making the ex-
periments named above upon the effect
of the tide sun and barometrle pres
sure upon the earth's surface and for
these much more delicate instrument
is required.

sons Beautiful Work viii BE
Produced--El Canine Real
Association Interested

Los Angeles is to have the honor OF
passing judgment on the first stage
performance Of Ramona" a dramati-
zation of Helen Hunt Jackson's famous
novel This character, which has be-
come so dear to the hearts of Califor-
mans, is to be interpreted on the stage
of this country next season by no less
an actress than Miss Virginia Calhoun,
who, though she has never played in
California, has won great name in
her art in London and New York.
The preparations for this production
which are now under way are on q
scale regardless of time and expense.
Miss Calhoun is in Los Angeles per-
sonally attending to the details. The
drama will be produced at the Mason
opera house probably the latter part Of
next month. No efforts are being
spared to make It take position on
the stage worthy of this masterpiece
of fiction. The promoters are looking
forward to the next theatrical season
with every confidence that their Offer
ing will be one of the successes of the
year.
The production here will be under
the auspices of El Canine Real asso-
citation, and Miss Calhoun announces
that the proceeds of this engagement
will be given to further the work of
this organization. The dramatization
which will he given here was sub
mitted to the publishers of the book,
Little, Brown & Co. of Boston, and
also to William G.. Jackson, the hus-
band of the author, and 1t was the
first of the hundreds of Ramona"
plays to meet with their approval.
II am glad" said Miss Calhoun"
that 1 am to make my first public APP
pearance in California in the character
of Ramona. 1t has always held
strong fascination for me as it has for
everyone, and / believe we have made
a great play out of it. 1t will be the
result of my life work and l have all
my soul in the production.
Il expect to organize my company
here on the coast and it will be re-
cruited from players of this section.
MY manager will come here from the
east. In the work 1 have received
splendid encouragement from a great
many prominent people, and valuable
assistance also. Arthur Farwell has
composed charming Incidental music
and in addition there will be many we'll
known Spanish airs
The play as given here will probably
be In four acts and ten scenes. 1t will
be entirely California product and
viii tell what is generally conceded to
be the most beautiful story of this
state ever written.
1t Is field which has been prac-
tically left untouched by the play
wrights although it is difficult to con-
ceive OF more dramatic setting for
play than the Golden state in the days
on the forties. All of these considera-
'tions make this coming production one
of est Importance to the people of
California, and the fact that the initial
performance is to be given in Los An
e'sles gives to the residents of this city
the honor of assisting in it's future
success.
