Leland this morn ing vigorously denied the rumor which has been in circulation for the past few days to the effect that the Besse-Leland store has been visited by a representative of the depart ment of justice who. after pricing articles of clothing and examining the purchase receipts, had charged the owners with violation of the law re- lating to excessive profits on necessi- ties.
 MT.
