Men Involved in Cotton Leak Scandal
Wanted in Washington.
Washington, June 2.-Bench war
rants were issued here for Theodore
H. Price of New York, a cotton oper-
ator; e. S. Holmes, Jr., former stalls
tician of the department of agricul-
ture; Moses Haas and Frederick A.
Peckham, both of New York, charging
them with conspiracy. The warrants
are in the government cotton report
leak cases and were issued for the
New York men for the purpose of
causing their arrest and return to
this jurisdiction for trial. All four
men were indicted here Friday.
Assistant District Attorney Adkins,
who has the case in charge for the
government, stated that the regular
routine Of getting a prisoner. to this
jurisdiction will be carried out, but it
is thought probable that Mr.. Price

to answer to the charge pending here
when called upon.

BERNARD COMING BACK.

The following article, taken from
the columns of the Walker Pilot,
will be read with interest by the
many north-country people who were
induced to contribute to the cause"
of drainage, at the time the Hon.
A. G." (yclept The Captain'') and
Colonel H. G. Hayes (of Sentinel
fame) were "hustling" the coin
wherewith to push the great work of
retaining some few million acres
of swamp lands hereabouts:
THE Walker Pilot has it on good
authority that Capt. A. G.. Bernard
of Cass Lake, who has been at
Washington during the past winter
in the interests of the National
Drainage association, is to return to
northernMinnesota with the adjourn
ment of congress or shortly after.
Mr.. Bernard was the first presi-
dent of the state drainage league.
During his regime drainage was
talked from one end of the state to
the other. At the annual drainage
meeting held at Wadena about a
year ago. Mr.. Bernard was displaced
and from that moment newspapers
and interested citizens throughout
the state have been trying to find
the drainage issue. But it can't be
found Where is it? And will the
commendable work be taken up
again with the coming of Bernardo?
What we want is someone who can
find the Minnesota Drainage league.
A Wellman or a Peary would come
in mighty handy lust now. But per-
haps, after all, Capt. Bernard can
help US on this"
The real reason for Bernard's
return from Washington to the old
haunts around the Voice office at
Cass Lake is probably due to the
fact that contributions to the cam
paign fund of the National Drainage
League have commenced to wane,
and there is not enough lucre at the
disposal of the northern Minnesota
president to continue the high liv-
ing which he has enjoyed for some
two years, mainly through the
fundamentally of the railroads.
"A. g." as a newspaper man, is a
fair success, but where he especially
shines is in working the dear
people of Cass Lake and elsewhere
for funds with which to lobby for
some special privilege at Washing
ton. The old gentleman certainly
does enjoy life at the capital.
Hayes has not been heard from,
of late; and it is barely possible
that he has gone to his reward''-
the place where Colonel Allen has
oft times expressed himself as being
fit place for Hayes to occupy
and that isn't heaven.

David was received into Mr.. Allward's
home with the true warmth of real hos

concerned. 1t would have been easy for
this particularly good-looking young man
to have enlisted the sympathy of almost
any girl by we'll told tales of his life of
hardship and real adventure with the
circus. His breeding was so evident that
it was impossible to believe Barlow not
rising superior to any occupation into
which circumstances had forced him. But
the young man neither told adventures Of
the circus nor of the livery stable at Bar
lows. He was not an OthellO-just
strong. young man from New England
village virile in mind and body, always
ready to be amusing or amused, and with
a perfectly naive desire for knowledge OF
this new world where fate seemed to
have dropped him. and Of which he knew
and. best of all, pretended to know so
very little.
David had fortunately come into the
life Of Alice Romans at moment when
circumstances permitted that young wom-
an to give him more of her time than
would have been at all possible at any
other season of the year. Many of her
girl friends had not yet returned to town.
and those who had were girding their
loins at their own particular dressmaker
or outstanding their finances for the moro
strenuous season to follow. And then
David was quite different from the other
men she knew-even the few men she
knew very we'll. His way of looking at
things was as fresh and as clean from
the faint of overcrowded civilization as

Miss Montmorency nodded and David
left the room with the girl still sitting on
the trunk and biting white patches In her
scarlet lips.

a tailor on Broadway and bought a dress

sary for his dinner party, and the result
