Department of Justice today. In speak
ing of the reasons for mis- return to
Washington at this time, he said, that
there were several matters of consid-
erable Importance which required his
presence here.
In answer to an inquiry concerning

from its origin, but desired a further
personal conference with District-At-

day The district attorney said that
the grand jury now investigating the
cotton leak would take recess today
until the 15tl'. He explained that the
adjournment of the grand jury was
in consequence of the fact that addi-

distant points which could not be OBJ
tanned before that time.
There are several other matters of
less consequence, but still of consider
able importance, which will claim the

ground will be regained when wool
returns, as it always does in a short
time, to lower values, but some of it
will be lost irretrievably, and the
American planter rather than any 9TH
er planter is likely to profit in that
process. Popular interest in the work
of the Cotton Growing Association is
tagging somewhat, and subscriptions
no longer flow with their early spon-
taneity. A strike at this juncture
would interfere with the supply of

to employed rather than TO the trade
