SECRETARY WILSON FACES NEW INQUIRY Another Investigation of Department of Agriculture to be Made. Washington, Feb. 6.-Another inves tigation of the department of agricul ture, involving orders of Secretary Wilson and the McCabe-Wiley contro versy and embracing charges of sup pressed reports and influence of land speculators over government officials is to be instituted by the house con mittee on expenditures in .he agri cultural department. Circumstances, smouldering for months, relating to exploitations of lorida Everglade lands, millions of res of which have been sold roughout the country by syndicates the past few years, burst into a flame before the committee today, fol lowing the summary dismissal from government service by Secretary Wil son last Saturday of C. G. Elliott, chief engineer of the drainage divis ion, of the department, and A. D. Moorehouse, assistant engineer, and the suspension of F. E. Singleton, as assistant, on a technical charge of transference of public funds. Influenced by Promoter. Representatives Frank Clark, of Florida, and E. R. Batherrick, of Ohio, who have instigated the investigation, charged before the congressional committee today that officials of the department of agriculture had been influenced by Florida Ev'erglade land promoters in the suppression of a re port on the condition of the lands made by the drainage department; that Chief Engineer Elliott was threat ed by agents of the land promoters 'less he would revise a circular let to the public, which did not con audatory references to the lands ere selling, and that upon his 1 the circular and a subsequent more detailed report were suppressed by the order of Secretary Wilson and that later Engineer Elliott and Moore house were removed from office. McCabe Denies It. Solicitor McCabe, who was called before the house committee, denied today that the disissal of the depart ment officials was in any way caused by the Florida land case and declared that the action was taken following charges that the dismissed men had misapplied.funds. All the papers re lating to this feature of the case were turned over to the departmerit of jus tice Thursday for possible prosecution. In this connection it is charged by Representative Clark that Elliott was .assured that there would be no prose cutioni of the charge against him if he would "keep still" about the ac tions in the department on the Flor ida land investigation. Representatives Clark and Bathrick .asserted today that they would show before the committee that the order <iismissing the men did not come from .Secretary Wilson until after it had become certain that the house comn mittee was planning to make an in quiry and Representative Bathrick had Sappeared before the committee in executive session last Saturday. A 'few hours later the letters were issued dismissing two drainage officials and suspending Singleton. Author of Charges. The charges involving the dismiss ed men were reported to have been made to Solicitor McCa.be recently by J. 0. Wright, a former subordinate of Elliott, but at present chief engineer ~of the board of trustees of the internal improvement fund of the State of Flor ida. Wright made a favorable report upon the Evergiade lands and soon afterward resigned from office to en ter the employ of the State of Flor ida. Solicitor McCabe told the committet. that all reports and papers bearin: on the Everglades case had been col lected .by the department and would be turned over to the committee for its investigation. The department, he said, welcomed the investigation. He declared fur ther that the reason Secretary Wil -son had ordered that the report on the Everglades be not printed was that the engineers in the drainage de partment were so at variance in the matter. When a sked why a new in vestigation was not instituted in view of this situation and in view of the public demand for information, Mr. McCabe told the committee that the State of Florida, by *hat time tu) taken the matter in h u-:1 and was conducting an inquiry.
