Texas, made public Thursday, takes
notloe uf the situation presented by
the cotton statistics given out for
publication Wednesday and expresses
his surprise and concern at the recent
alleged movement in the southern
States, “apparently approved and
augmented by the cotton growers
themselves," todes roy the census re

asserts that a continuance of the cot
tonginning reports is Impossible with

' 'Washington, D. 0., Dec. 29,1904
Hon. Albert S. Burleson, House of
Representatives, Washington, D. C
My Dear Sir: It seems proper to
invite your attention to certain ano
malous conditions which sonfrunt the
census office m earning out the pro
visions of section 9 of the act to estab
lish a permanent census office, direct
ing the periodical collection of the
statistics of oct on produ t on through
the agency of the ginners. Thl-
provision was inserted in the law at
~ your urgfot ft (ftiest and tiwt of ottw*
southern representatives, on the plea
that It was necessary for the protec
tion of the cotton producers ag i is*
the Speculators and othe.s inberesitt
In depressing the price of the staple
for their own prol.t. It was urged
that enormous lostes resulted from
the untrustworthy estimates put forth
•very year by speculators and agents
of the Liverpool market, and that
early and trustworthy official info)mi
tion regarding the sire of the crop
would protect the grower, disarm the
speculator and market manipulator
and permit the law of supply and de
mand to regulate the prices.
BXrKNSlVB INFOHMATIOiN.
Since the law was passed cengres,
has appropriated and this office lias
disbursed more than 1125,000 a year
In the collection and dissimloatlon of
this information. The system has
been gradually perfected until 1| has
become more nearly perfect than any
similar plan for obtaining expet know
ledge of the size of any agricultural
crop curing the progress of harvest
log.
No complaint has been made that
the census reports are not accurate.
Indeed for a year or two past we have
been able to trace the emp so closely
that practically every bale has been
accounted for.
The statistics increase in value
every year; for It becomes possible, by
comparison of the statistics ot one
year with those of the same date in
preceding years, to Judge the siza ot
successive crops with an accuracy
never before known or approximated.
The ginning reports ot tb*. oentun-
(nice have crowded out the spicula
live and interested estimates referred
to, and the single object which the
southern representatives had In view,
in urging this legislation, has been
successfully aecomphshed.
In vlewirihese facts, I have beep
surprised and concerned at the pres
ent movement in the southern States
which Is opparently approved and aug
' mented by the cotton growers them
•elves, to destroy the census reports
by the concerted refusal of the ginners
to make the returns upon which they
are based. Thus far the movem-*nt
has not seriously affected our work
but if it continues and spreads, it will
necessarily destroy its va'ue during
the eomii g year. It appears to havi
been suddenly discovered that these
- reports, undertaken solely at tbc de
mand of the cot ton growers, are high
ly detrimental to bis interests. Mr
E. F. Webber, president of the Mem
phis octton exchange, is quoted as de
daring that “the cotton Interests of
the south have everything to lose and
nothing to gala by their continuance:
they put the manufacturing interests
In possession of information which
works irreparable injury to the
south.” My attention has also been
called to the so called "National Cot
ton Ginners' association," the purpos
of which Is stated to be “to gather
accurate and reliable information re
gar ding the amount of cottoo pro
duced in advance of the government
report.” It also appears that “this
information la to be sent In code; and
the members of the association will
be sworn not to divulge ifc” The In
formation is still highly desirable,
but possession of it is to be restricted
to those who grow and gin the cotton.
DttAPPOraTMBNT OF GBOWBRS.
I can understand the dlsapointed
meat of cotton growers at the present
prices of cotton, and their
that these prices are due to the un-
ostx&l else of this year’s cotton crop,
early and definite knowledge concern
ing which has been given to the pub
lic bv the census reports, But loon-
fogs myself unable to follow the rea
soning which leads the growers, and
■ ‘m the ginners, to Imagine
be to their advantage, be
this exceptional situation to
the cfflcieccy of the offlv ial
gh which they learned
1
ot which has undoubtedly mended
the chinge to the prloe'of cotton over
a muc a longer period, and thus saved
the growers and the country from
muob larger loeeee than would other
wise liave been encountered m con-
nectlon with this tear’s crop. It
would seem to be plain that In - the
long run, taking one year With an
other, only one thing can decrease the
speculative element in the business
of cotton selling, and thus permanent
ly benefit the cotton grower, and that
is knowledge of the exact truth as to
the size of the crop, from an absolute
ly impartial and tiutbwortby source,
at the earliest practicable dates, This
was the unanimous contention of the
southern repre sutatlve ip congress
when the law was passed.
It is not my purpose, however, to
argue'the matter. 1 simply desire to
call your attention to the fact that
the continuance of the census c; tton
ginning reports is impossible, without
the Complete, sympathetic, and wbule-
harted cooperation of the 30,000 gin
ners »f the south. T ie census office
cannot enter into oompttiLlon with, a
cotton ginners’ association which pro
poses to gather the same data ' 'for
private Information only.” Mo'eover
it cannot continue to prcmulgat*
statistics of the quantity of cotton
ginned to certain date, after it has
reason to believe that these report*
are no longer correct, in consequence
of a concerted boycott by the ginners
Otherwise it would be guilty of tbe
Identical evil of misrepresentation
its reports were established to pre
vent. The cen-us bureau has no in
barest in tbe matter whatever, beyond
the discharge < f Its duty as establish
ed by law, and th^mainU nance of its
reputation for the compilation and

this Is by no mteans tbe limit. ,The
New York American'says: For tbe
past six years Professor George M.
Gowell, sgrlcultura’ expert and poul
try specialist at the experiment eta
tion of the University of Maine, at
Orono, has been conducting experi
ments with the view of producing a
breed of bens that can and will lay
more eggs than the ordinary hen,
whose laziness or lack of capacity Is
responsible for tbe high prioe of eggs
In the American markets today. Pro
feasor Giwell has made wonderful
pr gress in Lis experiments, having
thus far developed more than forty
hens that exceeded 160 rgga in a year
and one whose record is 254.
People who understand omelettes
bi tter than they do hen history and
who have a better appetite for eggs
than they have for statistics do not
realise the importance of this effort
for poultry improvement.- Some idea
of tbe benefits to flow from even par
tlal success of P.ofeesor Go will’s work
may be gained fr^m a few figures. In
1900, according to tbe United States
census, there were on the farm of the
United States: Including AUfcka and
Hawaii, 233,598,085 chickens and
hens over three months old, and the
egg production in the prev ous year
was 1,293.819,186 dozens, valued, on
the average at 11.2 cents per dozen, a
total of 1144 289,158 Each chicken
laid, on an average. 5 05 dc zens of
eggs in the year 1899, or about one
egg in six days. Now, this shoVrs
that the ©hlok* were either very, laay
or else that they lacked capacity for
egg laving. Professir Gowell says It
was all lack of capacity, and to reme
dy that condition he has set about
his experiments for the production of
a better, a breed of more prolific lay
ers. \ > „
Even if the experiments cow In
proiress at O.ono shall aocompllch no
more than to produce a breed of
chickens that shall surpass the pr^e
tnt breed in egg laying by one dozen
per chicken a year, then for the whole
United Steles, with 4t* nearly 234,-
1)00,000 chicken^; tbe increase In val
ue of the egg product would be about
•25,000,000 ayear.
Professor Gowell’s experiments are
conducted: for tbe purpos*, simply, ol
ascertaining ^which individual hens
are the best egg producers, and toose
them for the breeding of more of tnelr
kind.
As a means cf securing the needed
information, fiftv-two ‘Trap nests" of
Professor Gowell’s own devision and
construction were placed in the thir
teen pens of -the breeding house. The
trap nest is simple, Imxpenslve, cer
tain in its action and requires little
attention. It is a box like structure,
without front or cover, 28 Inches long
13 Inches wide and 16 inches deep, in
side measure. A division bmrd with
a circular opening 71 inches in dlam
eter Is placed across the box, 12 in
ches from the rear and 15 incnee from
the front end. The rear section thus
formed is tbe nert proper. Instead
of a close made door at the entrance,
a light frame of 1x1} inch steff is
covered with wire netli gofl inch
meiiff." The dOor mono laches, and
does not fill tbe entire space, a mar
gin of 2 inches being left at tbe bot
tom, and 1 itch st tbe top and eidte,
to secure free action. Toe door is
hinged at tbc top and opera up into
the box. When the nest is reidy for
the entrance of the ben the wire door
is held up, or open, by means of a wire
rod so bent that one section of it rests
directly (cross tbe circular opening of
the nest section. WRwr^tfir hetten
ters the nest section, her back strlkea
and lifts this rod, thus releasing and
dropping the door, making her pris
oner until she has laid her egg and an
attendant comes to set her free, the
do >r when it drops, being caught by a
spring and thu* held firmly in place
Each hen In tbe experimental clam
carries upon either leg abroad metal
lic band bearing her number. When
the ben is released from the trap the
attendant tak s her number, and then
upon a board fastened on the wall
over thelnest, whereon tbe records are
systematically kept, she is credited
with tbe egg laid. At the end of the
year the results are figured up, and
tbe good performers are known bj
their records and separated from the
rest. All that have Uld less than
160 eggs In tbe year are disposed cf
The others are congregated In differ
ent pens, according to their produo
live capacity, and the experiment
continued, both as to the laying capa
oily of the selected performers and as
to the productivenessof their eggs, al
duly labelled wllh the number of the
hen laying them, in tbe Incubation of
chickens. ' /
The experiments began in Novem
her, 1898, fifty-two trap nets being
used. When the data from the fint
year's testing were secured the birds
that) ielded '200 or more eggs of goo*
shape, size and oMor were selected for
"foundation stocks,” upon which,
with additions made to them In sue
ceedtng years of birds of similar qual
ity, tbe breeding operations were
based. It is known that tbe laws o’
inheritance and transmission are as
true with birds as with cattle, sheep
and horses, and when tbe wonderfu
changes that have been made in the
form, feather and egg production o'
bens since their domestication com
menoed Is considered, there seems to
be ample ground for as umtng that a
higher average of egg production than
the present can ba secured, by breed-
irg only from birds that are them
selves great producers.
The experiment! began with about
1,000 hens. Barred Plymouth Rocks
and White Wyandottee. Daring the
first four years In which Profecior
Gowell selected breeding stock by u»
of tbe trap nests be found thirty flv*-
hens that yielded from 200 to 251

38 to 60 egga at all. The Plymouth

Becjimlne J. Riley of Brookline,

be and Orestes A. Weed of Boston
came to New York with the Intention
of committing suicide together*
The twa rnsn were taken from the
Grand Union hotel, New York early
Wednesday, suff ring from morphine
poisoning, end Weed died at tbe hos
pital after the physic!) ns had tried
for hours to save him. Riley waa re
vived and ires transferred to tbe pris
on ward of Bellevue hospital, where
be la held on a charge of attempted
suicide. It Is thought that he will
recover. According to Coroner Soho
ler, Riley made the following state
ment
"Weed and I have been chums since
boyhood. Both of us had met bad
successes end we were both what you
may term down and out. Neither of
us had anything that gave any prom
ise and we were downhearted. Oae
of us proposed, I can’t tell which one
of us did, that we should commit sui
oide together. Both of us agreed and
then we made prepzratijns to die.V
Riley said that in their room he
and Weed discussed tbe best methods
of ending their lives, and It was final
ly decided to take morphine. They
left tbe hotel together, he said, and
went to a drug store, where they pur
chased the poison.
“We were to die that night,” the
man continued, “but one of us pro
posed to put it off for a few hours
We had some money and we dr cided
to spend that b fore we d ed. Then,
too, we were very nervous. We went
around the city and visited several
theatres and also drank heavily.’’
Riley then stated that they wynt to
before midnight and that eacn took a
dose of morphine. When he bad
finished bis story be. was told by the
coroner that Weed haT-dkd, Riley
then said: ‘T am now so awfully
sorry that 1 tried to die. I want t<?
live and in the future will do my best
to earn my living. I am awfully
sorry to bear that Weed Is daad. He
was a fine fellow and was married and

The Columbia Record a\ys a rather
pretty little story baa j <st developed
in the past few days, in which Bishop

back recollection* of the days in 1861
1865 in a very vivid manner. The story
baa in it the capture of a Fed

(ffloef In the Third Sou h Carolina

otter members of the same regiment,
the names of wnom have been forgot

- The incident happened on James

from tbe various South Car Aina com
pantei, Jest raise i. were stationed
there. Bishop Oapert*and three iol-
-llers were coming over from tbe
headquarters of the officers toward
the line where sentries had been
thrown out.
Just across the line a Northern sol

was some parish at first as the man.
evidently a brave soldier, did not
wish to be taken In this way without
having a chance for a fight, but the
folly of such procedure was quickly
shown and be turntd i vjr his gun and
marched back to camp.
The gun was kept by Blsbof) Capers
for years and several efforts were
made to find Its owner. Finally by
searching over the records It was
found that tbe gun belonged to some
member of the first Connecticut Vol
unteers. From there the tracing was
a little easier and finally tbe man who
owned the gun was located. His name
la Francis G. Cope and he lives in s
smalt town in Connecticut. iThe gun
