A COTTON BUYING TAUST. KILLED BY OUTLAWS \ ; With Se Aa to Make Amr Kind ^ at Market. What a New r York Broker Saya, "Mllllona of doUara have been loot by men who can be regarded 10 no lonae aa apeonlatora or gamblen, through the raiahandled, doctored Got- ernment reporta that were framed up ' In Waahlngton by one crooked clerk, In order to make half a million doUara for an obeoure cotton operator in New York, and leea than a hundred thou* aand dollara for hlmaelf.” Thla statement was made to a Re porter of the New York American last week by a New York cotton broker who has been hit badly at times in the past, through the weird crop reports that hare been issued by the United States Agricultural Department, and bis declaration waa corroborated by several others gathered in a comer of the Waldorf* Astoria cafe Wednesday night, dusousslng the sensational scan dal in Washington. "These crop reports, especially those dealing with cotton, have always been used by growers and manufacturers, as as well as by speculators, as the basis for their tranaactions," he continued. each report baa always established the price of the white staple approximate ly for the month following. "It Is now known that these prices were as false aa the reports themselves, and the cotton growers of the South have been made the victims of this gang of sharpers for two years through the instrumentality ofdepartment Intended solely to advance the inter eats of the planters. * "Deaths and suicides, aa well as the loaa of great fortunes, have followed the operations dr Edwin 8. Holmes, the Agricultural Department clerk, and the coterie of gamblera of whom he was the tool. "It has been shown that be delib erately changed the actual figures in the Government reports and made the cotton market the plaything of these gamblers, playing with loaded dice, who not only knew in advance what the reports would say, but caused Holmes to Juggle the figures in the re ports so as to make them say what they wanted said, and led to the down fall of some of the strongest cotton houses in the country.” | iThe effect of the revelations in con neotion with this scandal will be of the moat unpleasant sort. The Govern ment spends 1200,000 a year collecting the statistics, and the declaration that hereafter they will be safeguarded in a manner to make leaks Impossible Is regarded in Wall Street as a lest. Strong commercial influences will be brought to bear upon the President to order the prosecution of Holmes The Southern Ootton growers’ Asso ciation la preparing a case for crimi nal action and will demand that it be submitted to the Grand Jury. That no attempt has been made to prosecute Edwin S. Holmes, the clerk responsible for the leak in the ootton reports, is regarded as incomprehensi ble in New York, unless there is an underlying explanation baaed upon an effort to save some other official with a stronger political pull. It la now known that the eottnar® port of last MotUiljrwaa the first that Tven out In that city in two yean that was not anticipated there by some one in collusion with the au- tboritiee at Washington. It is also known that these advance advices regarding not only cotton re ports, but wheat, corn and other crop reports, went to a number of opera tors in New York. . There are at toittt six decoy "inves tigating departments” in Wall Street thatnevex investigate, and which have been established as blinds in order to make it possible for the men in touch with Holmes and clerks of bis ilk to give a semblance of respectability to their operations. - Whenever they have hit the market just right, they announce that their agents throughout the entire South have sent them in reports which have tallied exactly with those of the Gov ernment, even when, as now known, the Government reports have been doctored to favor a bear or a bull mar ket. It is known that last Monday’s re- AWFUL SCENE. Eight Men Were Blown Into Fragments by in Explosion. The Greenville News PnblUbea mm Interesting Article About It. It there a ootton baying trust in South Carolina? The Greenville News •ays. The full story of the cotton syndi cate was not published on Friday morning, and as the other chapters are forthcoming It shows that the farmers are practically forod to take the bull by the horns and protect themselves against the evils which are depreming the market. In the interview Friday a man familiar with the methods of the mills stated that all competition had been removed and that the daily price was fixed by the president of the syndicate, who hap pened to be the president of a ootton mill In Greenville. It might be well to says just here that the things which have caused Such bitter complaint from the farm ers arc not confined to this oity alone, Anderson, Spartanburg, Union, Co lumbia, and in fact all mill centres of North and South Carolina, have to battle with the same Itfluenoe and element. Georgia and Miasimlpp! are not in the dutches of the mill trust, and export bouses, wbiob are hot per mltted to buy In thii state, can pur obasc all they want In Georgia, for Instance, and sell It to the Carolina mllla. But they cannot buy direct from bhe*Carolina farmers, for if they do it means a boycott. There are probably a dozen ootton broken In Greenville. They represent all.of the leading houses from New York to Texas, and they sell direct to the mills. Theee broken never handle any actual ootton. That is to say, they receive prises every day, and if the manufaoturen are satisfied with Tima the ootton is shipped in the mills. If these broken oou!d go Into the local market and buy ootton from the farmen it would mean higher prices, greater competition, and thousandsoi dollars to the planters at the end of the year. But they cannot do it Why? Simply beoause this mill syn dioate has given notice that if aoy ex port house attempts to buy in the Carolinas It cannot bope to sell to tbe mills. There is an understanding anc agreement between tbe epinnen and tbe exporters and as a result, practl oally all of the Carolina product Is saved for borne consumption. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT 0. the Peaesyivesla Rsilread New Cnaberiaad, Pa., ea Setarday Moraisf. The Body el One ' Mas Picked Up Two Hsa- dred Yards Away. Nea Who Are Pat to Death Later by a Persuing Posse. 0. S Calhoun of Kansas City, an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail way detective, was shot and instantly killed at Cedar vale early Wednesday by two outlaws, who were shot down later by a posse of citizens at Hewins, seven miles from Oedarvale, close to the Oklahoma State line. One of the outlaws, Ed Madlgan of Ponca Oity, O. T., waa killed Instantly by tbe pcsse. Tbe other, William Cbadburn of Winfield, Kan., was fatally wound ed. Tbe outlaws exchanged ahots with the posse. During the exchange J. M. Pope, merchant, waa shot through the foot, and a woman named Malone was struck in the leg by a stray bullet. Madigap and Chadburn held up and robbed six traveling men at tbe Brettun hotel at Winfield on Sunday night list and aa eaped. At Oedarvale Tuesday night Detective Calhoun encountered both of the outlaws on the street. Not be ing positive of their identity. Calhoun secured tbe city marshal and one of the traveling men who had been robbed. All then started in a carriage in searoh of the outlaws. Early Wednesday tba party drove past tbe men In a side street The traveling man Identified them, and the trio in tba carriage were just In the act of mak ing a stand when either Madlgan or Chadburn opened fire. Calhoun wai shot through the heart and the out laws made their escape temporarily: port waa not tampered with, and It is oertam that no advance information regarding its contents reached New YortPhefore noon. As a result the cotton market Jump ed 100 points In five minutes. - Something of technical knowledge ia required to understand this phase of dealing in the cotton market. Each month the Agricultural Department sands out its report showing the acre age of tbe ootton crop and ite eondl- tton. Thla latter ia baaed upon 100 as a full orop. Acreage and crop condi tion taken together fix the price of cotton in speculation, and any altera tion In these figures can be made of great veins to a crooked operator in tbs ootton market. The Jane report was ‘cooked” more daringly than any report In "years. ras 75. It to apppear in the report y%x~ Murder and Suicide. ' At Atlantic City, N. J., a murder and suicide Wednesday afternoon ended the lives of Edward O. Dough ty and Mela S. Clyde of Philadelphia. Doughty, tbe murderer, was insanely jealous of tha woman, and sba In turn, desirous of discarding him, stirred bis fierce jealousy by taking a walk with another man. Doughty met her on the street and upbraided her for be- ng false. Drawing a revolver be chased her into a crowded grocery store at Baltic and North Carolina avenues. She ran behind the counter and tried to bide, but be followed and there sent several bullets into her breast. She expired within a short time. Doughty had a room In the building over tbe store and he at onoe went upstairs and deliberately shot blmaelf in the breast. He died in- s’.antly. ■ A Mystery. ' , c _ Mystery surrounds the death of kta Lillian Demmelt at tbe Coney Island hospital, . presumably from carbolic acid poisoning, caused Coroner Har- tung, of Brooklyn, N. Y., to order an Investigation Wednesday after noon. Mias Demmelt, who Is said to be the daughter of Edward L. Dem melt, a banker at Pocahontas, Ark., was found 111 In har room at a Coney Island oottage by a maid. M1m Dem melt was unable to speak when found. Her symptoms indicated carbolic acid poisoning, but no tries of the drug could be found In her room. A Striking Corner. A striking career wai that of the late C bar lee Haokley, lumberman and pfiflanfliroplat,' of' Muskegon, Mich. . Haokley went to Muskegon when a 1 Tbe aonage waa about 12i below, mere boy, In 1866, with only 17 In tbe normal, and was aude to appear W* pooket,. having worked his passage mmm across Lake Michigan on a schooner. He smismrt a great fortune, his wealth at hia death being estimated at 11*,600,000, while his beoafaetlons to Muskegon alone amounted to mom than 14,000,006. Although be is Aid to have contributed to every eburoh in tbe oity, be never attended any, and never witneomda hnselba Sight ’aen ware blown to pieees and two others injured by the premature explosion of a big blast of rook powdsr on the Pennsylvania railroad Improve ments near New Cumberland, Pa., at 7:30 o’clock Saturday morning. Tba accident occurred directly aoroea the Susquehanna river from the aoene of tbe Pennsylvania railroad wreck on May 11,. in which twenty-three per sons were killed and many others in. lured. All the victims of Saturday's disas ter were employes of P. S. Kerbaugh & Co., incorporated, contractors, who are balldlng the doable tracks for the Pennsylvania railroad to connect with the Eoola yards. Tbe bodies of the men were terribly managled and par ttolea of flesh and bone were scattered for 200 yards from the scene of the explosion. The dead are: James Wiseman, aged fifty, dyna mite boos, 08 Front avenue, Buffalo, N.^E. Arthur Green, colored, 23 years of age, steam driller, Harrisburg. Robert Thomson, oolored, 23 yean old steam drillers helper, Harrisburg Frank Muliaoh, a Slav, 43 yean old. Three Italians and one Slav, known only by numbere. Tbe injured are: William Reed, oolored, 20 yean old, a steam driller, skull fractured and in jured Internally. Reed to at Harris burg hospital. G. C. Miller, 58 years old, of Ida- vllle, Adams county, bruised abrot body, but not seriously. Not a trace of the two oolored men who were killed can be found and It to supposed their bodies ware blown Into tbe river, which la bring dragged. An Inquest was held Saturday after noon by Squire Coble, of Lemoyne. The jury rendered a verdict of prema ture explosion from an unknown cause and no bisms to attached to the con-, tractors, All the killed and injured were laborers aside from Wiseman, whose body waa terribly mangled. _What oould be found of it waa identified by the fact that ha dyed his hair.' His scalp and a portion of his head were found on a hill, 200 yards from the blast. Wiseman has been with the Kerbaugh company for five yean, and had gone to the scene of tbe explosion to personally superintend the prepara tions for what to called a "big shot,” to be fired Sunday morning. A "big shot” consists of a series of blasts, tbe boles having been drilled In a raw, and the charges being set off simultaneously by an stoetric spark. * Five of tbe holes had been filled with powder and the men were on the sixth when the explosion oc curred. It to supposed that a small atone had gotten into tha bole and that the Iron bar with which the men were "tamping" down the cLurge, caused - a spark by "craping on the atone and tffat this ignited tba pow der. John Shatter, the fireman of i "dinky” engine, 150 foot away, wai thrown to the ground by the force of the exploaion and slightly injurad by flying debris. Millar was sitting at tbe door of the sbaok were the men bunk, 200 feet from the blaat, and was blown 20 feet and badly bruised One Italian escaped beoause a fel low workman had playfully snatched his bat and ran with it. Tba owner ran after tha man with the hat and had just got out of the range of the explosion whan it occurred. An Ital ian water boy, 12 years old, who was on his way to the man with a bucket of water, waa hurled 50 feat. Every stitch of clothing was tern from his .body. A leather bait containing 8312 in paper money, supposed to belong to one of the men, was picked up near the scene of the explosion. Pieoee of flesh and bone were found fastened In tbe telegraph wires over the railroad tracks. The fragments of the bod lea were placed in rough oaskete after the coroaer’s inquest, and they were buried Sunday. There were no buildings in the im mediate vicinity of the exploaion and there was no damage except for the destruction of a few telegraph poles and a large tool shed in a nearby, quarry, which waa torn olear out and drawn fifteen feet toward tbe aoene of the blast. The explosion shook the country T5r miles around and broke many win dows in Harrisburg and towns aoroas the river. Twelve hundred and fifty pounds of rook powdsr had been un loaded just before the explosion, but It was not disturbed. 18 Tha following by Oommtortonar Tatotm in regard to tbe money losi by Dtopansary feipir tor Brown; 0.

The repent of tbe settlement shows that do tbe 12th day of Jane Mr. Brown made settlement with Mr. Matthews a£f found Urn short 01,648.40, and received payment of that amount. Thla report was re oelved at this office on the 14th; seme day Mr. Brown reported to me verb ally hto misfortune, stating that he had some other moneys In the lost poekethook belonging to the state along with some of hto own. To set tle up Mr. Brown's sooount, we made up 11,624.87; Mr. Brown paid 0242 00. This amount was made up by my friends and myself, not a oset bring contributed by any one hot connected with the institution; all voluntary; no one being asked by me to contribute. Tbe question of bond did not enter tha matter at all, aa I was advised by tbs aretotant attorney general, Inas much as the law did not impose tbe duty to collect such money on tbe Inspector, that neither my bond of the money. Bat the dispenser was still liable on hto bond. The law pro vides that dispensers remit directly to tbe state treasurer. Hto receipt is the only legal discharge tor them. "It was entirely a moral question with me. I did not propose that the |*ob same outi atete lose anything daring mr admin istration by myself, or appointees. The oostom has been ever stnoe there baa been an inspector for him to col lect shortages, author!sad by tha board, aa records will show.

Van Riper, whoae name waa men tiooed in Secretary Wilson’* report as having motived advance information on tbe joondltlonof tbe cotton crop, made a public statement after the publication of Secretary Wilson's re port Saturday In which he declared that be bed nothing whatever to do with plans to manipulate the goverp ment ootton report. He amplified Secretary Wilson’s report and called upon tha secretary to make public Mr. Van Rlper’a entire statement to bias. Mr. Van Rlper’i statement to as follows: "It oame to my knowledge early In tbe year, without solicitation on mv part, that plana were bring laid to Influecoi or manipulate the figures of the government reporta on ootton dur ing the summer months beginning with Jane. It was planned by ear tain interests, including parties In re sponsible positions in tbe bureau of etattoties, to use influence to have Mr Hyde sent to Europe so that Mr Homles would be acting head of tbe bureau of statistics, and in this post tlon would have a free band to furb ish such reports aa wanted. "I was also oognizint of the fact that said Holmes had previously furn tohed advance Information to certain brokers from time to time, but when me or4 their plana for changing or manlputot log tbe ootton report figures were ex- nor Mr. Brown’s was liable for a cent posed to me, I immediately consulted my attorney regarding the matter, and upon hto advloe, listened to their stories and kept track of their plans, In some oases having witnesses un known to them, nntil tbe June re port on acreage and condition on cot 'll waa planned, as'early as March, to oaa every effort they oould to se cure figures that would be as bearish as possible, so as to break the prloe of ootton to a low point where certain intoresta oould make large profits on the short side, and then load up and make an enormous scoop on the long side. It was understood that, in some oaaas, government agents reports would be influenced in that direction, ‘To Inspectors of tbe South Carolina or even ficticious reports used. "On June 1,1 was Informed tbat It was impossible to get the condition higher than 76 per cent, and the acreage reduction to show a decrease of less than 13 per cent., in spite of all they had tried to do, but that at Abe n quest of a certain large market operator, the go between was going baek to Washington that night to try and have the figures stretched a little farther, and to my knowledge said go-between took tbe 12.15 train on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for Washington on the night of June 1, or rather the morning of June 2. ’ "On the morning of June 3d, said go-between reported that lie had sue- oeeded in arranging to have the con dition figures given 77 or higher and the acreage reduction about 111 per oant., wbieb would be construed as bearish and enable them to break tbe market. I received this advice bafore 9 o’clock on June 3d sod tbe public knows what the figure were when an- rounoed at noon. "Tha notoriety attached ~to this matter ia far from agreeable to me, and I was personally assured by Sec retary Wilson that in bringing this matter to his attention I had done tbe department a great service and that my name would not be mentioned in any way. Now that ha has men fit to publish or to give out for publics lion certain letters and documents that were entrusted to him confiden tially, I think It only fair to ask him to give for publication my entire statement made to him, of which the above ta a-part, but which baa been pmitted in newspaper acoounts that have been called to my attention. "From what I know of their vari ous eon venations and tbe plana that were laid months in advance, I be otived: "Have no one on artiste’ staff named Morris Must be Imposter." Morris most have had an idea that ha had been found out, for he disappeared at onoe before the telegram oonld be brought to his attention. Incidentally he neglected to settle a board bill and one or two other little matters that had been termed lines of credit All said bureau efforts to trace him have failed and Munaey has offered to bear all expense of proaeoution if he should be found.
