ATTORNEYS ARE DIGGING Beach Getting Further Evidence for Grand Jury Others Guilty Be sides Holmes First Charges Made Five Years Ago. NE"W ORLEANS, July 12. President X Brittln, of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, today addressed the follow ing letter to President Roosevelt: Th recent exposure In the Statistical Bu reau of Cotton, Agriculture- Department, ha developed a situation which In cotton trade circles for many months past haa been so strongly suspected, from apparent indication, as to amount to a positive conviction of wrongdoing. And now that the exposure has been publicly announced a feeling: of Intense indignation prevails throughout the trade in terested in fair dealing by reason of the de partment having been used by a clique of corrupt speculators to promote their individ ual and selfish ends. And that It should be known who have been the beneficiaries, the corrupters and the corrupted as well. "With this end In view I am directed by the board of directors of this exchange to Address you direct and invoke your good of fice in having a searching investigation car ried on until the whole matter Is probed to the core and the results given to the public I beg to assure you our people here are already profoundly Impressed and gratified with your continued disapproval and con demnation of Impure methods in government affairs ar:d your unyielding disposition to dis miss from the service unfaithful agents and, therefore, anticipate your good efforts In re sponding to this appeal. WILL, PRESS INVESTIGATION. Cotton 3Ien Believe Others Besides Holmes Are Guilty. ATLANTA, Ga., July 12. President Harvey Johnson, of the Southern Cot ton Association, after hearing the re port of Secretary Richard Cheatham with reference to the investigation of. the Bureau of Statistics at "Washing ton, today authorized the following statement for publication: The charges preferred by the association have been fully substantiated, and the inves tigation of the Bureau of Statistics along other lines will be vigorously pressed by the as Eoclatlon. "VVe will not be content to let the matter drop where It is, as we are satis fied that others beside Holmes should be re lieved of further connection with the de partment. President Roosevelt has already taken ac tive rteps In the matter and still more Im portant disclosures may be looked for in the near future. HUBBARD HAS ONE ON WILSON Made Charges In 1900, but Was Called Down.. WASHINGTON, July 12. A new "and interesting phase o'f the cotton-leak In vestigation was developed today through the publication of the letter of Walter C. Hubbard, president of th New York Cotton Exchange, addressed to President Roosevelt, in which the writer declared the members of the exchange had been "greatly shocked" by the recent disclosures of venality in the Department of Agriculture and requesting a full investigation of the methods which led to the corruption with a view of preventing the possi bility of recurrence. That letter is believed here to be the outcome of recent correspondence be tween Secretary Wilson and Mr. Hub bard, In which the latter called upon the Secretary to make him a. public apology because he had some years ago called the Secretary's attention to alleged leaks, and that no notice had been given the suggestion. The Sec retary wrote a tart reply In which he Informed Mr. Hubbard that he owed no one an apology In the light of hav ing done his duty to the best of his ability and that, when ho got anything that looked like facts, he promptly cent it to the secret service officers to hunt down. The case to which Mr. Hubbard re ferred in his recent letter to the Secre tary occurred in 1900. On December 20, of that year. Mr. Hubbard sent the Secretary certain papers showing that a Mr. Sterbcrger wanted to sell in formation to a New York cotton bro kerage firm, claiming that he could get It in advance from the Department. Mr. Wilson immediately turned the matter over to the secret service of ficers, but in about a week Chief Wilkie reported that "it looks like an at tempt of Sternberger to bunco the New York firm." After allowing two months to elapse, and not hearing further, the Secretary, on March 26. 1901, called upon the secret service officers for in formation as to whether they had made any discoveries. On the following day Secretary of the Treasury Gage replied as follows: The action of this man who wanted to sell information was done with the hope of b lng able to sell Information, but as a matter of fact his efforts to obtain the advance in formation failed, as he received no assist ance from the person In Washington upon whom he depended for information. This report of Mr. Gage was trans mitted to Mr. Hubbard by Mr. Wilson the next day. and the matter was al lowed to drop. But In January, 1902. Mr. Hubbard complained of having been advised that Southern ginners were sending to the Department re turns of their ginning operations bear ing date of December 22 or 23. "and," said Mr. Hubbard. "I am unable to un derstand why additional returns from ginners should be obtained, since the result Is to be published." It seems, however, that the Department of Agri culture had not called for any ginners' statistics at that time, but that the circulars had been issued from the census bureau. In the same month Mr. Hubbard wrote the Department of Agriculture, asking for certain information on cot ton, but the Secretary, in the course of ;a sharp letter denying the request, written under date of January 11, 1902, said: "We take the srround hnr Vmt nnth- llntr sroes out unless it irnps t whole Deonle. W huvA no fvnrWo." I' Mr. Wilson today permitted the ex- lamination of tne correspondence In or der to show tnat, as far back as five years ago, he had taken prompt action to discover any leaks In his office. 3IAKING EXHAUSTIVE INQUIRY Beach Will Get All Facts for Grand Jury's Action. WASHINGTON. July 12. The investiga tion that will be made by District Attor ney Morgan H Beach, Into the charges that there has been a leakage of Informa tion In the matter of preparing the Gov ernment cotton statistics will be far more exhaustive than that conducted by Se cretService operators at the request of Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture. Acting Attorney-General Hoyt has com pleted his examination of the papers transmitted to him by Secretary Wilson, and he thinks there should be further and detailed legal inquiry. With that end in view he has committed the entire matter to Mr. Beach, who intends to complete his examination of the case. He has taken up the subject as prosecuting attorney, and in all probability will assist the Gov ernment when the matter is brought into the courts, an outcome of the investiga tion that Is believed by Department of Justice officials to be a certainty. Expense will not be spared In gathering evidence of the methods alleged to have been employed by Edwin S. Holmes, the dismissed Associate Statistician of the De partment of Agriculture, and in exposing any accomplices he may have had In his operations. Mr. Beach will have the benefit of the labors of Secret Service men who were employed by Secretary Wilson, and also of the best legal talent in his own office. Working in the case will be a number of men who ferreted out much of tht evidence in the prosecution of postofflce frauds. It is planned to con duct the examination secretly, on the grounds that it will be much more effec tive. It has not been decided whether the case will be submitted to the grand jury prior to arrests, If it is found that arrests are warranted, but It is not be lieved this will be the procedure." WANTS GUILTY ONES PUNISHED Netv York Cotton Exchange Appeals to President for Action. NEW YORK. July 12.-The New York Cotton Exchange made public today the following letter: The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington. D. C. Dear Sir: On behalf of the New Tork Cot ton Exchange I want to say that Its members have been greatly shocked by the recent dis closures of venality In the Department of Agriculture, upon whose report they have de pended for accurate Information on the con duct of their common business. I beg to request that a full investigation be made of the methods which led to the cor ruption, with a view of preventing the possi bility of recurrence, and that the guilty onea be adequately punished. Official reports should be above suspicion of publication In the interest of any persons for tneir individual benefit, and as president of this exchange I wish to put Its members upon record as utterly opposed to such culpable proceedings. On the line of common honesty 1 ak you for your most emphatic condemnation and action upon the practices which mak legitimate Dimness impossible and put the members of our body at the mercy of tricksters and knaves. With great respect, I am, yours truly, WALTER C. HUBBARD. President New York Cotton Exchange. DOMAIN OF CORPORATIONS Judge Grosscup Would Broaden It by Interesting Whole People. PUT-IN-BAY. O.. July 12. Five hun dred representatives of the Ohio Bar As sociation, Including many eminent Jurists of the state, assembled here today for the annual session of the State Bar Asso ciation. The feature was the address on "The Corporation Problem; the Lawyer's Part In Its Solution." by Judge Peter S. Grosscup. of Chicago, who spoke in part as follows: The great corporate problem before the American people is not how to wipe out the new domain of property represented by the corporation: nor how to hinder or hamper it. nor how to take It over into National proprietorship; nor simply how to make those who have already come Into Its pro prietorship deal fairly and benignly with the peqple. as the great proprietors in the monarchies of Europe might' be required to deal fairly with their peoples. The great problem that confronts the statesmanship of this. day. like that which had to deal with the public landed domain. Is how to peoplelze the ownership of this new domain; how to widen and deepen the popular stake In this new possession, how to swoop forward Into the age that Is to come, losing nothing overboard from the age that Is passing, but with everything aboard so really republlcanlzed that inthe public mind there will be no feeling that under our laws, and undnr the practical opportunities for an Individual career that our laws are sup posed to furnish, the field Is not open to all alike. It Is not the appetite of the men and women of America for food that creates our problem What creates our problem in that under present corporate policies the Instinct of Independent manhood, the Instinct that characterizes us as a people, finds no field for exercise. And what confronts us Is. to find a way that will, with reasonable secur ity open to this Instinct the whole domain of Industrial proprietorship. I do not expect that way to be found In a day. or in aslngle measure. It Is not or dained that a people shall go through a great crisis so easily. I do not expect that the way will be found by the men who are called the party leaders, or that immediate help will come from them. Party leadership Is timid. Men In PreMdency and Senator ships and Governorships are men who think many times before they take any step that might separate them from the prevailing public good. What I am at. and what 1 ask you to Join In helping along. Is to set In motion the public opinion that lies be hind party leadership. When the deeper Judgment of the nation Is reached; when the vested interests of this dountry come to see that their greatest security lies In hav ing all about them neighboring vested In terestsa proprietorship that reaches out and out until, carrying reasonable security, it is within the reach of all; when the men who toll for wages, without abating their appreciation of their present protective agencies, come to actually wish for an In dividual share in the country's property; when the country wakes up to the conscious ness that benevolence is not the only thing that Is human; that Just dealing Is not the only thing that Is human: but that indi vidual ambition to get on in life is human also; that the wish for a career is human; that Individual independence Is human; that some share In the world's Inheritance from nature Is human: when the spirit that In spired the pre-emption and homestead laws peoplelzlng the domain that ell to our fathers revives us. dealing as we have to do with the larger and more difficult domain that has fallen to us; when the public mind and honor have been lighted up. ways will be found, abundant ways, to Infuse Into this new property domain of the Republic, even though embodied in corporate form, the widespread personal Interest and Individual ity that alone gives to property its fullest utility as an agency for good, and alone saves to private property Its place as one of the republican institutions of the country.

COURT IN CONTROL Czar Changes Whole Plan of National Assembly. BOULIGAN'S PLAN DROPPED Oligarchy Which Really Rules Rus sia Adopts System of Class Rep resentation to Hold Power Through Landowners. ST. PETERSBURG. July 13. 2: A. M.) According to a statement current here last night, there has been another radical change In the programme for a national assembly, which will Involve the supersession of the whole of Minister of the Interior Boullgan's project by one based distinctly upon class representa tion, a system against which the Moscow Zemstvo Congress took a stand. This new project. It Is said, will be considered by the Council of Ministers under the presidency of the Emperor, reinforced by the Grand Dukes and a number of high court officials. The Emperor's conversion to the class representation project Is attributed to the influence and party leadership of the land ed nobility, the views of which were placed before His Majesty in an address presented by Count Bobrinsky, president of the Constitutional Conservative party, and Count Sheremetleff, In behalf of what is denominated the "Patriotic League." Despite the popular Idea here as well as abroad that Russia Is ruled by the bu reaucracy, it is nearer the truth to say she is ruled by a small oligarchy of Grand Dukes and about 30 great noble families who have access to the court and who make the bureaucracy their tool. With class instead, of general representa tion, they say they can control not only the members of the nobility, who are ex pensive landowners, but the peasants who live on their estates, and. thus buttressed, the bureaucracy will have to protect Its own Interests. The Emperor himself is the largest land owner, owning more land than all the peasants of Buropean Russia, and over 33! palaces. ASSASSIN WAS A STUDENT. One Story Makes Motive Political, Another Personal Revenge. ST. PETERSBURG. July 12. Private ad vices received here from Moscow say that the slayer of Prefect of Police Count Shuvaloff Is a student and that he made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide after taking the life of his victim. His recent arrest was due to his participation In political agitation. ST. PETERSBURG. July 12. The mur der of Prefect of Police Shuvaloff, of Moscow, who yesterday was assassinated while receiving petitions, according to the latest information, was Inspired by motives of vengeance on the part of the assassin, who laid at Count Shuvaloffs door the responsibility for his recent ar rest, though there is absolutely no evi dence that th- Prefect personally had any cognlxance of the affair.

Reduced Cost of Operation Accom panied by Increased Traffic Due to Development The Great Northern's Good Showing:. NEW YORK. July 12. (Special.) Th Harriman lines In the Northwest are making record, earnings. The Union Pa cific main line Is said to be carrying to day the heaviest tonnage in its history, at the lightest rate per ton per mile of actual necessary cost In Its history- In other words, the immense Improvements made out of earnings in the past four years are showing direct results In both the volume of tonnage and In the cost of carrying It. The standardizing of the equipment, carried out last year under the personal supervision and under tho direct orders of E. H. Harriman. has proven a successful experiment. It is not. of course, in full completion It will take at least seven years to bring It to a. full j completion, une oa engines ana cars or the systems will have to go to the scrap pile before the "L". P. standard" Is every where on all the lines. All the new equip ment is standard, and all possible repairs are accomplished by adapting the old equipment to the standard parts. This Summer tb.e Northwestern rail roads are going to eclipse all transporta tion records on this continent. This is the Judgment of Roswell Miller. Julius Krutt schnltt. James J. Hill and Jacob Schlff. who. presumably, gets his Information from good quarters. The Hill railways are looking forward to far the heaviest transcontinental traffic in their history, both In freight and passenger business. All these lines are after the Lewis and Clark traffic and are getting It. So are the Soo Line and the Canadian Pacific Build Hopes on Northwest. The Harriman railways are building their hopes upon the Pacific Mail traffic and the business into ana out of the new sections of the Far Northwest. There are stated to be over 00.000 acres of land tributary to the Harriman lands and pro ducing freight of one sort or another which last year produced nothing but trouble. This Is the kind of thing that is making the Harriman lines. The Utah and Oregon development, even though It Is not carried on by the Harriman people themselves. Is going to have an immense Influence In swelling the" revenues of the Harriman railways. The grouj) of railroads that centers at the Twin Cities Is showing relatively the best results from the operations of the last six months of the fiscal year and from the work of May. and June. The Milwau kee and the Great Northern arc con spicuous. The former shows an Increase of nearly $300,000 for the 11 months In net. and one of $369,000 In gross for May, sav ing nearly the whole of It In net. The Hill railroad, always a consistent per former, shows the magnificent increase of $531,000 for the month of June. For the yar this railroad shows the record In crease of $3,031,000. Soo Line's Great Earnings. The Soo Line and Canadian Pacific are other good ones. The former, with its net Increase of over $300,000 and its gross increase of over $1,703,000. or nearly 30 per cent. Is better than the Hill railroad In percentage. The Soo Line, In fact. Is the wonder of the hour. It was only a few years ago that the wlsacres of the street were wondering what In the world the Canadian Pacific was going to do with the Soo Line. It seemed a helpless derelict. There wre no prospects on the road. It had never paid dividends, and most critics agreed that It never would. Now It Is pnylng 7 per cent on the pre ferred and 4 per cent on the common, and is practically certain to Increase the rate on the common within 12 months. This Is the accident of railway gam bling. The Canadian Pacific admits that the purchase of the Soo Line was a gam ble pure and simple. It was hoped at the time of the purchase that In time the road would earn Its charges fairly well. The stock came cheap, so It was taken, more to keep other railroads from buying It than because the Canadian Pacific real ly wanted it. Now the Soo Line Is lead ing the rest of the country In percentage of Increase In earnings. Infant British Prince. ; LONDON, July 12. The Princess of Wales was safely delivered of a son this morning.
