COTTON REPORT LEAK. -Secretary Wilson Will Enforce Strict Investigation-Others May Be Implicated. Tha: Secre:ar v W ilz,n intends to take no step backward in his report on the eAt.n leak investigation is evidenced by his statement that he wz~anta afraidl 4f any libel suit which migh: be nieci against him by Mr. Price or others mentioned in the re port. In fact, he said, he would wel come Such action because it might be the means of developing some facts not alreadv uncovered and which it i> desirable to know. -This is a auarrel among gamblers," he said. "brought about by the dissat isfaction of some of them in not get ting what they thought was their due. I have no:hing to take back. As the head of an executive department of the :_overnmient it was my duty and my right to give to the public the re sult of the investigation by the secret service agents into the charges which had been filed leading up to the dis missal of Mr. Holmes." The secretary added that he had -given consideration to Mr. Price's re <quest, as presented through his attor ney, William M. Ivins, of New York, "to withdraw the unjust, offensive and unsustained charges and implications" and had reached the determination to take no further action in the matter. He said he would not communicate with Mr. Price or his attorney in any way. In view of the opinion by the Unit ed States District attorney that a - criminal prosecution against Holmes would not lie. Secretary Wilson in timated that he would suggest to President Roosevelt a recommenda tion to Congress that legislation be -enacted to cover cases of a similiar -character involving a breach of trust. A special from Oyster Bay says t'hat it is regarded here as not unlikely that criniinaI prosecution may result from the investigation of the cotton report leak in the department of agri culture. The subject has not yet been presented to the president in a formal way, although he is familiar with most -of the details of the inquiry. United States District attorney Beach, of Washington, was of the -opinion, after a cursory exaihination of a part of the evidence adduced in the investigation, that a criminal pro ceeding would not lie against Assist ant Statistician Holmes. who is al leged to have profited by giving ad vance information oi the condition of the cotton crop to certain brokers. The department of justice is not in clined to acept this view of the case. W-hile no decision to institute criminal proceedings has been reached, 1-he subject is being considered by attor ney general Moody. wvho will later take the matter up with the president. Secretary Richard Cheatham, of the Southern Cotton association, of At lanta has returned from WVashingt'on. where he has been assisting in the in vestigation of the statistical bureaus -of the department of agriculture with reference to the leakage in the cot ton report. .@Oe@Oe e 0 nae e@1 ihe When e asked if his report would he made public, sectary Cheatham f aid he e':ld nt g c it Out, and that t the matter w:ld :ave to be acted up-n by the S 'uthern Cotton a.soci- p a:i1n. h Speaking of the i-;estigation secre- h tarv Cheatham said: "It has now been shown completely and absolutely that there was a leak in the department, and now nothing can be added to that estahlishd fact except to show that qt others besides Holmes had something to do with that leakage. When asked if his report to the C Southern Cotton association would T charge others with being connected th with theaffair, Mr. Cheatham said he was not at liberty to state. Mr. Cheatham is very much pleased t at the outcome of the investigation. ti He spoke in the highest terms of the secret service men wi:h whom he was associated in the work. C RACE WAR IN NEW YORK. Two Persons Shot in Pitched Battle - Bahl Game The Cause. n( Two persons were shot, one prob- m ably fatally, in a fight between mobs C of whites and negroes in West Six- ai teenth street on Sunday last. The trouble began when Henry Hart, ,a colored man. was attacked in the b street by a number of white youths, who acused him of interfering with a ball game. Hart fled, pursued by a mob of whites hurling stones, bricks al and other missiles, and reached the la tenement house where he lived. After R arming himself with a revolver, Hart u; ran down stairs and began firing into a: the crowd, one of the shots striking ti James Hunter in the side. Policeman o John Loye ran into the hall and ar- B rested Hart after the latter :had fired bE at him twice. As Loye brought his rf prisoner out, a swarm of negroes, b( armed with pistols, clubs, razors and be other weapons, poured out of the tene- se ment, bent on a rescue. The police- P1 man's helmet was mashed and he was u knocked down and kicked, but he kept P a firm grip on his prisoner and finally P succeeded in getting his back against a wall, where he stood off his assail ants. By this time the whites had it been reenforced to the number of h several hundred, and 'the negroes broke and fled in every direction. A shot fired from a negro tenement struck Mrs. Mary Donohue, who was d attempting to lead a child out of the t tenement, in the head, inflicting a r p)robably jatal wound. The police s broke into the house and arrested Al- jal bert Middleton, who is supposed to n have fired the shot, and* five other r negroes.d In spite of the presence of a large f< body of police reserves, desultory n fighting between whites and blacks 1h continued, until a sudden downpour C of rain scattered t'he combatants.
