TH BODO UK PKIGE INDICTED. Two I H dl? < incuts, One in New York and One in Washington. Washington, May 30.-Almost si multaneously in Washington and New York indictments have been re turned against Theodore H. Price, a prominent New York cotton opera tor, Frederick A. Peckham and Moses Haas, both of New York, and Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., of this city, formerly assistant statistician of the Depart ment of Vgrlculture, for alleged par ticipation in government crop report leaks. Price is charged with having conspired with the other three men to burnish advance information re garding the crop reporta of the De partment of Agriculture, and Price, Peckham and Haas are charged with conspiring to bribe Holmes to shape the official reports to suit their in terests. There were four indict ments brought in by the Federal grand jury in both cities. AIP but Price have heretofore been Indicted under true bills returned here in Oc tober, 1905, following the sensation al exposure of the crop report leaks. After a long legal fight Peckham and Haas succeeded in preventing their extradition here from New York, but Holmes was placed on trial in June, 1907, the Jury reporting a disagree ment. Holmes has not been retried. The indictments were returned here late yesterday. According to one of them Price made $750,000 as a result of his advance information regarding the report for December, 1904, and paid Haas $135,000 out of this sum. While not stating how much Holums received as his share, the indictment charges that Haas paid Holmes $1,000 for information on the June report of 1905. The in dictment, which sets out seven overt acts, says that on May 31, 1905, Price and Haas conspired by.promis ing, offering and giving to an official of the United States a sum of money to induce Holmes, in violation of his ?duty, to furnish such advance in-.. Prormatlon. It recites the conference in New York on May 31 between Price and Haas, following which Haas came to Washington, met Holme* and promised to pay Holmes for advance Information; that on June 1, 1905, Haas received such In formation from Holmes and it was conveyed to Price, and that on June 2, Haas paid Holmes $l,o00. The second count of the indictnu nt says Haas and Price conspired tc brine Holmes to arrange the June report so as to show a greater cotton crop than the information In the statisti cian's office justified.

I {cpu 1)1 i<ans Honor Cannon; Demo crats Enthusiastic for Bryan. Washington, May 30.-Just ten tull)utes, officially, before the hands of the big round clocks in the cham bers of the two Houses of Congress 'pointed to the hour of midnight the ! first session of the Sixtieth Congress I came to a close. In the House the closing hours were characterized by [singing of'Jongs by Republicans in honor of Speaker Cannon, and by i Democrats in the interest of William I J. Bryan. The .excitement, which 'was great at times, finally subsided and the session clo. ? cl with general good fellowship among the members. The Senate was extremely quiet dur ing-the closing hours, held together only by the necessity of remaining in session for the engrossing and signing of bills. The last days of the Senate will be memorable on account of the filibus ter of LaFollette, stone and Gore agaiust the emergency currency bill, by the remarkable interpretations of the rules which go far to establish cloture in a body noted for the free dom of debate and by the final pas sage of the currency bill. President Roosevelt and several of his cabinet were at the capitol during the even ing. Senator Culberson, of Texas, five minutes preceding the adjournment of the Senate to-nght presented the usu ni resolutions thanking Vive Pre sident Fairbanks for the able and impartial manner in which he had presided over the deliberations. Sen ator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, was in the chair and the resolution was at once agreed to. Mr. Fair banks was escorted in and made a fitting response. "Pursuant to the terms of the joint resolution the chair now declares the Senate adjourned without day," said the Vice President. Goodbyes were quickly said and the door of the Senate was deserted within a very few minutes after the fall of the gavel in the hands of Mr. Fairbanks. Tornadoes Ruin Oklahoma Farms.
