THE MORNING ORJ2GONIAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 190". Una m Wilson's Reform in Preparing . Crop Statistics. GET FOUR FIRST-CLASS MEN Secretary of Agriculture Will Not Leave Good Master, but Will Purge Department and Improve Methods. OYSTER BAT. July 31. Secretary "Wil son will reorganize thoroughly the Crop Statistics Bureau, of the Agricultural De partment, according to Information here tonight. Already he is seeking -men of character, standing and education to con duct the work of the bureau men in whom the farmers and growers of the country will have Implicit confidence and who will place the reports of the bureau on a standard of excellence never hereto fore achieved. One man he has found, although he does not at this time wish to publish his name. The other three he hopes to secure in a short time. Two of them will be Southern men and both will be experts in cotton and tobacco statis tics. This. In brief. Is one of the ideas which Mr." Wilson elucidated to President Roosevelt today. In response to Invitations twice extend ed. Mr. Wilson visited the President at Sagamore Hill this afternoon. He arrived here on the Long Island train at 12:30 P. M.. and with Baron Rosen, the Rus sian Ambassador, was conveyed to the President's home. At the conclusion of his conference. Mr. Wilson talked frankly about fome phases of the work in his department. He was asked whether there was any likelihood of his early relinquishment of his port folio as Secretary of Agriculture. He re plied with a smile: Will Xot Leave Good 3Inster. "Do you remember the story of An drew Fair's service in Sir Walter Scott's 'Rob Roy'? Andrew's master was going to discharge him. In fact, he told him to go- Andrew said: " I won't go.' "Why not? asked the master. " 'Because I won't.' replied Andrew. " 'Well, you are discharged,' declared the master. " I won't go. retorted Andrew. 'If you don't know when you have a good servant, I know when I have a good master.' "Mine Is not a precisely parallel case." continued the Secretary, "but it serves to illustrate tho situation. I have not been asked to go, and I am not intending to resign. 1 am going to stick to my post and continue to build up that great de partment. You will recall that, when I went there, I found practically nothing but a few roll top docks and a half-dozen half-starved scientists. Since that time w,e have built up an Improved branch of the Government. The Agricultural De partment today is a great department and, I may say. is as sound as a nut. We are trying every day to make it better: Since I took charge of it, 279 people have been lex out of its service for various reasons, many of them on charges of one kind or another. We make it a point to keep only first-class men and women. The purpose of the investigations now in progress is to purge the -department of all solfishnops and corruption, and that end will be accomplished. It Is my .pur pose; andv It is the purpose" of the Presi dent. Indorsed by Cotton-Grower. "No. I have not the slightest idea of resigning," continued the Secretary. "I see Mr. Jordan, president of the South ern Cotton-growers' Association, is de manding my resignation in an interview published today. No. I haven't a thing to say about Mr. Jordan. He may say what he pleases about me. That his own people do not agree with him, however, is evi denced by a telegram which I have Just received. Here it is: WashinBton. July 31. lOO.Y To Hon. Jame Wilson, Oyster Bay Dear Sir: In reference to the interview ol Dr. Harvey Jordan pub lished this morning In the Washington Post. I will say I cannot Indorse the same. The farmers and cotton-srowcrs of tie South have Implicit confidence in your honesty and ability to purge the department of all graft ers and they hope the Prerfdent will not In terfere with the great work you are now doing for them. E. S. PETERS, Vice-President Southern Cotton-Growers' Association. "I have no intention of becoming In volved in a newspaper controversy with Mr.- Jordan or anybody else. I have my work to do and I am going to do it." Correction of Cotton Estimate. "What have you to say. Mr. Secretary, about Mr. Jordan's statement that you did not collect new figures on the cotton acreage?" "Only this." replied Mr. Wilson. "The reports which were received from the de partment's reporters in the field were placed in the hands of a board appointed to make new estimates from them. That board's estimate differed from the esti mate made by Hyde and Holmes by 3& per cent. That It is correct I believe, but if It is not, it is the report of the field reporters and not of the department. Hitherto, it is true, the figures probably have been Juggled and changed, but we have eliminated practically any future Jugglery of that sort. The situation, you understand, was peculiar. We probably never would have discovered what the dif ficulty was had It not been for the fact that two speculators got into a quarrel about a woman."v "Have you heard anything about Mr. Hyde?" "Well, he has gone to Europe," replied the Secretary grimly. "I had no idea he was going away from the country when left the department. I received a let ter irom .-sirs, ttyar explaining that she was responsible for his departure: that she had purchased herself his steamship transportation .and had insisted that he go away on account of his health. She said he was in danger of a nervous col lapse."' Could Have Kept Moore Straight. Concerning the inquiries now being made Into the scandal by the Department of Justice, Mr. Wilson did not care to talk. "Manifestly," said he. "It would scarcely be proper for me to discuss the work of another department, particularly in the present circumstances. Only two cases now are before the Attorney-General from my department, that of Holmes and that of Dr. Moore. ' What may be the result of the inquiries I have no Idea. Dr. Moore had accomplished some fine results, and If he had only made clear to the depart ment his entire connection with the Nitro Culture Company. I think we could have kept him on a straight course.' Then Mr. Wilson outlined his new plan for the Bureau of Crop Statistics. New Plan for Crop Statistics. "This is entirely new," said he, "and never has been published. It Is my in tention to create a board, with Assist ant Secretary Hays at its head, which shall handle all crop statistics. I an pointed a board a little while ago. the members of which handle the statistics Individually and turn in their results to me or Mr. Hays. The present board Is a sort of makeshift affair. It was the best we could organize In a hurry from people n the department. It is my Intention to organize a board of four men. two of whom will be from the South. The other two will be from othor parts of the coun try. They will be the best men we can find In the country, men of character, standing and education. They will be sci entific experts In whom the country will have absolute confidence. All reports will be sent to me from the field, anfl I will place them at the proper time in the hands'of these scientists. Bach will make up his estimate, and the four estimates will be revised by me or by Assistant Secretary Hays. The members of the board will be regular employes of the department, and they will spend some of their time In traveling in search of any Information which may bear upon their work. Through the work of this board I think we shall have perfoctly reliable es timates made of all crop conditions. This plan will be better than that providing for only one man at the head of the Bu reau of Crop Statistics. That one man might leave the department, he might get sick, or he might prove to be a rascal. This idea eliminates any of these possi bilities. Then, too. it will Insure perfect security and confidence." Mr. Wilson left at 4:20 P. M. for Wash ington. He will go West In a fow days, probably, but the date for his trip has not been 'fixed. FIVE MORE DEATHS Yellow Fever Claims Its Daily Toll of Victims. TARIFF TREATY WITH RUSSIA Agreement May Be Reached While Peace Conference Meets. ST. PETERSBURG. July 31. (6:30 P. M.) Negotiations for the settlement of Russo-Atnerlcan tariff differences are advancing steadily. Russia Is willing to withdraw the retaliatory duties on American machinery, etc, which weigh hard on Russian Industry and agriculture, and seeks abandonment of the retaliatory duties imposed on sugar, American exports of which are not apt to become an important factor. Certificates of origin necessarily ex acted on macnlnory imported from other countries are also a burdensome formality, and M. WItte, who was Min ister of Finance when the duties were imposed, was consulted before leav ing for the United States, and agreed to the advisability of settling the dispute. The Ministry of Finance hopes to be able to arrange a readjust ment and to interchange notes on tho matter without having recourse to a commission, and the wish Is frankly expressed that a settlement might be arrived at in time to be announced during the peace negotiations. The principal prospect of delay lies In the desire to submit the revision to M. Witte for his formal approval as a matter of courtesy, showing how strongly his political star Is In the ascendant In Russia today.

The Socialist sections of the Zionist Con gress have issued a circular to the Jewish people protesting against their treatment during the meetings of the Congress. Tney met today and ex pressed their disagreement with Che decision adopted by the congress yes terday not to accept the offer of Groat Britain of a tract of land in East Africa for the formation of a Zionist colony. They decided to form a spe cial organization with the view of ob taining territory. Meanwhile the main body of the congress elected an organization com mittee, of which Dr. Henry Frleden wald, of Baltimore, and Dr. J. M. Mag ens, of Brooklyn, were appointed members. During the discussions of the programme. Dr. Magens, on behalf of the American delegates, requested the reconsideration of the British proposal. Cheer Defeat or Uganda Colony. BOSTON. July 31. A meeting of Boston Zionists in memory of xse late Theodore Herzl wag held last night in Faneull Hall. The eulogy was delivered by Horace M. Kalleen, of Princeton Univer sity, and the orator was P. Ramantha, solicitor-general of Ceylon. A cablegram announcing that by an overwhelming ma jority the Zionist Congress at Basle de feated the Uganda proposition was greet ed with great applause. A discordant note was struck when Dr. Nlssenson. of Jamaica, delivered an anti-Zionist ad dress, which was greeted with a marked demonstration of disapproval. BODY FOUND IN SCHOOL Suicide of Arizona Principal Dis covered by Painters. PHOENIX. Ariz.. July 31.-Great mys tery surrounds the suicide of Profes For S. O. Lewis, principal of Tempe pub lic schools, which was dlcsovered today but probably occurred last -week. Lewis, who was 32 years old, formerly lived in Corsicana. Tex., anj has a mother in Illinois. He was unmarried, highly re spected and had been employed as principal for the next school year. School has been closed for several weeks, and this morning painters went to the schoolhouse to work. A fright ful odor caused an Investigation, when the bfdy was found much decomposed. He had shot himself through the tem ple with a revolver. A Delicious Drink HORSFORD'S ACID mOSPHATE A tearooonful added to a rlass ct erfd t- j tei Invigorate SircDxtliens. nn Etfrrxhaa. NEW ORLEANS, July 31. By the end of the present week the authorities in charge of -the fever situation believe they will bo in such thorough touch with conditions that they will be able to speak with authority as to their ability to control and eradicate the dis oase In advance of the coming of the frost. Daily the system of inspection and report Is becoming more perfect and by that time not only will It be possible to tell precisely the extent of the "fever, but a period will have arrived when no more new casos trace able to the original Infection may be expected. Three deaths occurred In the emer gency hospital today, the number of patients in which has largely been in creased. All cases found with no rel atives to care for them arc promptly removed to the institution, where the most elaborate modern arrangements have been made for their treatment. Case of Morgan City. President Souchon. of the State Board of Health, received advices today that the Wilmot case at Morgan City had boon pronounced yellow fever. Morgan City is 20 miles trom New Orleans and the announcement of the case thorc will doubtless be followed by the bottling up'of the town. No other case In Louisiana has been reported In the last two or three days. It Is generally believed nerc that, when the present sickness passes. New Orleans will not seek to regain the fruit trade which has now been di verted to Mobile unless the fruit com panies are willing to submit to regula tions which will make impossible the introduction of fever. It Is almost uni versally the opinion that. Important as this trade has become. It Is not suf ficiently profitable for the city to run the risk of .a recurrence of the pres ent experience. Law Against Mosquitoes. The mosquito ordinance will be passed at the meeting of the Council tomorrow. It will require landlords to screen cisterns. Fine or Imprisonment is tne penalty for failure to obey the ordinance. Very few houses In the city are without cisterns and 49,600 or 50. 0 of them will be required to be screened. The city is now spending eome $16,980,000 on.a water and sewer age system, which, when completed, will require the abandonment of all cis terns. It will, however, be two or three years before this system is finished. Mississippi has again announced that It will accept detention camp cer tificates issued by the Marine Hospital Service. On the other hand Alabama has taken a new tangent and began more stringent regulations this afternoon than ever were attempted before.

Suit Cases - Fine Bags Ladies' Hand Bags DISTRESS AMONG ITALIANS. Transfer of Fruit Business Is Cause and May Be Permanent. NEW ORLEANS. La.. July 3L Much distress Is beginning to appear among the Italian population growing out of the practical suppression of the fruit busi ness from Louisiana on account of the quarantines, and relief work Is one of the tasks which the Italian societies and cit izens committees will now have to ad dress themselves to. While the six-day detention order of the Board of Health lasts, all the lines which nave been oper ated from the steamers Into New Orleans will divert their ships to Mobile, and this will have the effect of throwing thou sands of laborers, many of them Italians, out of employment. A meeting of representative Italians has been held and permanent organization formed. A campaign of relief and of edu cation Into the hygienic requirements of the situation has been decided on. It was also resolved to follow the advice telegraphed by Ambassador Mayor des Planches and to address all Italians in the city verbally and by circular, asking them to pa; ready obedience to the regu lations Imposea by the health authorities. Several thousand dollars has been raised for relief and other work, all the societies having decided to abandon the banquets and other entertainments they had planned and apply the funds set aside for these purposes to helping their country men In the -present emergency. The health authorities are very much encouraged by the excellent work that la being done at the Emergency Hospital, and they believe that when the results of treatment given there become known families will readily consent to have their patients sent there. While the feeling here Is constantly growing hopeful, there Is no abatement of the excitement and panicky feeling In the country districts of Louisiana and Mississippi. Local business houses are be ginning to feel the effects of the scare. They are receiving letters from their trav eling men. telling of the cancellation of orders In Mississippi and elsewhere, be cause of the reluctance of the country people to patronize stores which receive goods from Infected districts. In this connection there Is some criticism of Governor Vardaraan because of a tele gram In which he commended Mississippi merchants for refusing to take" freight from this city. Steps have been taken to disinfect all freight cars destined for points where the mosquito theory Is not accepted. Quarantines everywhere are be ing drawn tighter. Even gasqllne Is ap parently barred from Vlcksburg. Num bers of the towns In Louisiana and Mis sissippi are cutting themselves off from the world. Tlie shotjutn ojiaxantlnu axe exciting.

Great care was exercised when the steamer sailed from New Orleans. Four cabin passencers were rejected because they came from the Italian quarter of the city, and no steerage passengers were al lowed on the ship. The crew did not go ashore at all m New Orleans. Barrett Talks of Fever on Isthmus. CHICAGO. July 3L John Barrett.
