HARVIE JORDAN
 TALKS ON COTTON

Washington, January 14-(Special.)- ''Everybody knows that the government cotton reports are much crossword. They are of service to the people in preventing speculators and persons who would manipulate the market from spreading false reports of the probable crop in order to lower or raise prices, said Har- vie Jordan of Atlanta. Ga. president of tine National Cotton association.
 For instance, it was reported early last fall that the crop would approxi- mate 100000 bales, but the December forecast of the agricultural department figured the crop at 12,96O,0OO bales. In- asmuch as this is the only official re- port, it has considerable influence in keep ing the market steady and free from the influence of interruptions manipulation, thus protecting the grower the manufac- turer and the consumer. But I have lit- tie faith in the condition reports promul- gated by the government.
 How can a farmer figure the percent age of condition of a crop? No one knows what 100 per cent standard is be- cause the cotton crop five years ago, for instance, cannot be paralleled with the crop of last year or this year. I really cannot see the utility of the condition reports on cotton. l have been planting cotton for 35 years. and have been study ing the question intently, but I really could not tell how much cotton area, with relation to the standard of 100 per cent, I have under cultivation, and I do not think any other grower can.'

DRAGNETS WILL BE SENT

Washington. January 14.-(Special) When the investigation of the Presi- dents action for raging without legal warrant the old Pennsylvania station is under way there will have been placed in position four separate drag nets to bring to the surface suspected executive misdeeds.
 1. The general inquiry by sub-com- mittee of the Senate appropriations committee into the operations of the secret service and the Presidents em- ployment of special agents and detec- lives of various sorts.
 2. The special investigation by the same sub committee of the case of Sem ator Tillman, which will be directed more at the President than at the South Carolina senator.

Johnston Bankhead Give Heed To the Protest Of Bmn ham Lawyers and Ask That the Case Be Sent Back To
 the Committee For Further Consideration

Washington, January 14.--(Special.) The following self-explanatory state rnent was issned tonight by Senators Johnston and Bankhead of Alabama:
 Senators Bankhead and Johnston have decided to ask the Senate to refer Judge Hundley's case back to the com mittee to hear anything that may be presented. They believe that the stand ing and the character of the lawyers opposing him entitle them to be heard, although most of them have heretofore asked the senators to confirm him and have not shown such diligence as they should In presenting their objections. They think it also due to Judge Hund- ley that he have an opportunity to an-

 4. The special Olmsted committee in the House will throw its own dragnet into the mysterious waters of the secret service and see what 1t can fetch to the surface to the discredit of Roose welt.
 In addition to these investigations. resolutions have already been passed asking for information from various departments on questionable transac- tions involving the President, includ- ing the Foraker resolution passed by the Senate yesterday, requiring the Sec retary of the Treasury to tell how the $3.000,000 emergency fund of 1898 has been expended. It was out of this fund that the war department paid the de- tectives who shadowed the dismissed negro troops.
 Altogether, these investigations and inquiries can hardly fail to bring to light a mass of material that will be of inestimable value to Senator Till man in preparing his contemplated in timate portrait of tine President by an unflattering hand.

YICKSBURG AGAIN
 BECOMES DRY

vicksburg Miss, January 4.-Although he had been doing business under H. cense granted by Madison parish, Louis- jana, Thomas Morrissey, who has been running what is called the Desola Island saloon, just opposite Vicksburg, was to- day fined $50 as were also his assistants, by Justice W. A. March, on the charge of unlawful retailing and the place was ordered seized and all property destroyed.
 The case involved the settlement of the boundary line between the states, and the court acted upon the survey of the city's engineer, who placed Morrisey 625 feet within Mississippi. and upon a de- cision of the Louisiana supreme court, which reasons that the thread of the river is the middle of the stream. This place is clearly inside of where the old Mis- sissippi river mid-straem ran prior to the cutoff of 1876, as decided by the Mississippi legislature and state supreme court

 The statement of the Alabama sena tors Is considered a big victory by the anti Hundley committee of Alabama lawyers which came here to oppose the confirmation of the district judge. It was supposed in view of the fact that the Senate judiciary committee had given consideration to the case for sev- eral months that 1t would be unneces sary for further committee action to be taken upon it. The -Hundley committee now believe that Hundley is certainly defeated through the action of the Ala abama senators.
