ELLIOTT IS RE|NSIATED
Last Act of James Wilson as
Secretary of Agriculture
One'of Reparation.

The last act of James Wilson as Secre-
tary of Agriculture was to reinstate c. G..
Elliott as chief engineer of drainage in
vestigations in the Department of Agri-
culture
Mr.. Elliott was dismissed by Secretary
Wilson for his attitude in the Department
of Agricultures connection with the
Florida everglades investigation. A con-
gressional committee vindicated him.
1t became known today that A. d.
Morehouse, an assistant engineer. who
was dismissed at the same time, had been
previously reinstated to position in the
department.
Elliott and Morehouse We're dismissed
on the ground of technical vocation of
the law for having transferred the funds
of one bureau to the use of another to
carry on work for which money was Jack
ing. They were indicted upon that tech
nicality and the indictments were
uuashed. Their dismissal was connected
with charges that Secretary Wilson had
suppressed an official circular dealing
with Florida lands which was unfavOrs-
able to land promoters and others having
interests there.
Elliott at the time of his dismissal laid
it to his refusal to give official approval
to land-selling projects In Florida. The
whole affair was investigated in Congress
and a House committee, after hearings.
censured the department and vindicated
Elliott and Morehouse.
