Bottom of the Affair Not
Yp+ RparhpH i
The investigation of the leakage of !
the cotton reports of the department !*
of agriculture was begun at Washing-1
ton Monday by the federal grand jury, j
In accordance with the call of District j
Attorney Beach, the jury assembled i
and promptly entered upon the work j
'before it. As Mr. Beach entered the j
room he declined to express an opin- !
ion as to how long the inquiry would j
continue, to state how many witnesses ;
would be called, or to give any information
whatever except that he
would personally conduct the investigation.
There were no witnesses
present when the jury was called to
order.
Persistent rumors of new evidence :
regarding the cotton leak, and of prob- \
able disclosures equally as sensational j
as those of the pas?, are to be heard j
in interested quarters. Anything like ;
official confirmation of such stories is ;
lacking; however, the grand jury in- j
vestigation was conducted with unus- j
xtal secrecy, and nobody around the j
department would talk.
Advices received in the city indi- |
- A cate that the southern producers are (
by no means as excited by the situa- j
tion as are the speculators, and some ;
others who have nothing to do with j
r.'. - the growing of the staple. Everybody ;
who has the best interests of the j
south at heart, however, is insisting j
on a full and complete investigation, j
W?f - ,
and on the punishment of the crim- j
inals responsible for the juggling and J
leakage of the crop reports in the
past.
. Mill Men See Wilson.
The delegation from the American
Cotton Manufacturers' Association, appointed
at the recent meeting at Charts';
, lotte, N. C., to take up with Secretary
Wilson the question of issuing a newJune
cotton acreage report, called at
the department of agriculture Monday
and were in lengthy conference with >
the secretary.
At the conclusion of the conference j
Secretary Wilson gave out the follow- t
ing statement:
' "The department of agriculture has j
determined that the statistical board j
v-y . shall meet Wednesday, June 26, to con- |
sider whether revision of the cotton j
. * -acreage should be made from existing i
data or from a new inspection and tv, i 1
0-. make public their findings or esti- ;
mates at 12 o'clock, on that date, or j
the earliest convenient date thereaf- j
; ten.".
The cot "on men informally discussed
the question of ordering a new report.
No representations of inaccuracy were
made against the June report, and the
members of the delegation appeared
satisfied with the decision of the sec- 1
> retary, announced in the statement is- 1
sued. The suggestion was made that
a. weekly report of the conditien of
cotton^^shwri^be issued, but it was
not urged upon department, it
was said that most of the cotton men
realized that more frequent reports
hA had under the present ap
propriation for gathering crop statiswV;/-.

Cotton Brokers Summoned.
Subpenas requiring the presence 01
several New York cotton brokers before
the grand jury were issued Monday.
The attendance of those named
in the subpenas is required in Washington
before the end of the present
sBe#' month.
\ A federal official said that all the
v men upon whom subpenas have been
served have made statements, both ;
signed and sworn, in which they tell .
all they know of the so-called cotton
scandal. It was upon these statements
forwarded to Washington that District
Attorney Beach caused the subpenas
to be issued. When, where and bofore
whom the statements were made
could not be learned.

THREE-CORNERED FRACAS
Indulged in by Editor, Legislator and
Newspaper Reporter on Streets of
Atlanta ? No Damage Done.
Editor James R. Gray, of the Atlanta
Journal, and Representative Henry H.
Revill, of Meriwether county, met in
a personal encounter in front of the
Capital City Club on Peachtree street
in Atlanta Monday afternoon.
The difficulty was the sequel to a
statement made by Mr. Revill In the
house of representatives Monday morning,
in which he attacked Mr. Gray
and his paper because of an editorial
published a day or two previously,
attacking Mr. Revill on account of
certain questions asked on the floor
of the house during the debate ou
the anti-pass bill, in which Mr. Gray's
name figured.
Learning what Mr. Revill had said
upon the floor of the house, Mr. Gray
had a message telephoned from the
Capital City Club to Mr. Revill's hotel
to the effect that seme one wished
to see him at the club.
In response to this message Mr.
Revill started across the street from
the hotel, and as he reached the side- i
walk in front of the Capital City Clu:>,
he was confronted by Mr. Gray. Neither
man knew the other positively,
and there was brief preliminary conversation,
followed ' by a decidedly
lively encounter which was fought ail
the way from the sidewalk up to the
club veranda.
The difficulty, which lasted for several
minutes, attracted large crowds, j
both from the members of the club J
who gathered upon the veranda, and
the passersby who collected on both
sides of the street.
As in all matters of this kind, there
are two versions of the dispute between
the two gentlemen. According
to statements of eye-witnesses, however,
Mr. Gray, upon meeting Mr.
Revill, asked a question to make positive
that he was the right man, and
then struck him.
Mr. Revill, it is stated, then drew
a pistol, whereupon Mr. Gray closed in
upon him, preventing his using it. In
this way they struggled, it is said,
from the sidewalk clear back to the
railing of the club veranda, where
Milt Saul, an employee of The Journal,
who ran across the street from
the Majestic, caught the pistol and
took it from Mr.- Revill's hand.
It is stated that Mr. Revill then
drew a knife, which was also taken
from him.
During all this time several blows
were struck by the belligerents, it is
stated, and there was also an encounter
between Mr. Revill and Mr. Saul,
the latter striking the former in the
face. They were finally separated by
friends.
After the battle none of the bellig
erents looked as if he had been in so
serious a difficulty, as they bore no
marks of consequence upon their
faces.
TWO BOYS PLACED ON TRIAL.
Jesse a"d Leonard Rawlings Face Jury
in Valdosta Court.
Interest in the Rawlings trial is still
deep and crowds attended the trial
of Jesse and Leonard at YaWos'a .
Monday, although there were not as
many people in the city from the Rahira
neighborhood, where the crimes
were committed as previously.
Court convened at 9 o'clock, and it
was agreed between the state and the
defense to put both boys on trial at
the same time. It was found more,,
difficult to get a jury than in the
trial of Miiion Rawlings, six panels of
twelve men each being exhausted before
the last juryman was secured at
3 o'clock m the afternoon.
W. L. Carter, father of the children
whom the Rawlings boys are charged
with murdering, was the first witness
and gave about the same evidence he
did in the trial of Milton Rawlings.
Ua -a'ns nn the Stand for two hours.
and was subjected to a rigid cross
examination by Attorney Cooper.
Alf Moore, tbe confessed accomplice,
followed Carter on the stand, and was
up until 7:30 p. m., when court adjourned
until Tuesday morning. The
negro related practically the same s'ory
he did on the trial of Milton Rawlings.
OIL FIELDS IN FLAMES.
Lightning Starts Conflagration Which
Soon Extended Over Large Area.
A dispatch from Humble, Texas,
says: Covering an area of three-quarters
of a mile square with a great
smoke covering two miles, the oil
tanks of the Texas company continue
to boil and bubble under the
great heat of the burning oil.
When it can be extinguished no one
can guess. Certainly not until it has
burned all of the oil in the eleven big
tanks which held 2,500,000 barrels
when lightning struck them Sunday
afternoon.
SOLDIERS MAY BE REMOVED.
Theip Withdrawal from New urieans
Probable on Account of Fever.
A Washington dispatch says: General
Jesse M. Lee. commanding the
department of Texas, has been ordered
to investigate and report upon the
advisability of removing the United
States troops from the forts below
New Orleans on account of the yellow
fever.
AUTHORITIES IN HARMONY. |
Yellow Jack to Be Driven from Con- i
fines of Crescent City.
Monday night Mayor Behrman is
sued a proclamation to the people of
New Orleans, urging them to heed !
the advice of the health authorities, |
relative to sanitation of their premi- J
ses and calling special attention to j
the necessity of screens in houses i
and placing nets over cisterns and all !
poois of water which breed mosqui- '
toes. This proclamation was signed .
by the president of the state board j
of health, president of the city boar.l .
of health, Surgeon of the ma- j
rine service and the advisory commit- j
tee of the New Orleans parish medi- ;
cal society.
At a meeting of the state board of 1
health during the day, it was decided, J
in response to the numerous requests j
for information from the parish health j
officers, to prepare and send out a j
. i i r* f + v* / * oifnafjAn ;
detailed biaitiiiem. <_?i onuunvu. ,
This will include an official statement [
that up to care there have been seven- !
teen eases of fever and six deaths.
The quarantine regulations suggested
by the meeting of the citizens requiring
six days detention for all vessels
from ports liable to yellow fever,
were adopted after a very heated discussion.
Notification was received at
noon from Er. Hunter of the Mississippi
board of health that he had proclaimed
quarantine against the whole
state of Louisiana because the state
had not quarantined against the city.
This question w2s discussed at the
board meeting, but owing to the inti- |
mate relations between the city and j
certain portions of the state and the j
willingness of other sections of the
state to maintain open communica- j
ticn with the city, it was decided not !
to quarantine the state- against the
city.
BONES OF JONES IN VAULT.
Body is Temporarily Entombed at Annapolis

the splendid naval chapel now being
erected near the site of the temporary
vault. ^
COTTCN JUMPS FORTY POINTS.
Reports of Unfavorable Conditions
Serve to Boost Fleecy Staple.
There was an advance of about forty
points a bale in the cotton market
at New York Monday, accompanied
by considerable activity and excitement
as leading bull interests supported
the market, and shorts covered owing
to apprehension that heavy rains j
in the central and western cotton belt i
would cause further damage to the i
crop.

A Big Loan That Failed.
Vienna, June 1.?Again a Russian j
lean has failed. According to intelli- !
gence from St. Petersburg, received !
in financial circles hero, negotiations j
were proceeding quite lately with the ;
same syndicate of Paris banks which, !
three months ago, broke off negstla- j
tions just when they were to sign a j
loan of 600,000,000f.t (?24,000,000), !
namely, the Credit Lyonnais, Comp- j
toir d'Esccmpte, and the Banque de
Paris. The renewed negotiations this j
time had also reached a final stage, |
on/1 o ^ nor rnnt s;Y-h IITWlre.'l-milllon !
franc loan had been agreed to cn the j
original basis, namely. Treasury bills ;
with eight years currency, 01' which ,
the syndicate was to take over 400,- !
000,000f., and 200,000,000f. on option. J
All was ready and the signing fixed j
for May 30. The news of the naval j
overthrow marred the contract, and i
again the banks refused to sign, hav- j
ing gained the conviction that, even j
at this hopeless stage of the war, the |
Czar and the Grand Dukes by no \
means intended to make peace.?From j

Paul Jones' Costumes.
"Paul Jones," says a writer, "was '
portrayed in every costume that a
pirate could be expected to masquerade
in and his whiskers were of
the longest, blackest and. curliest.
He is portrayed in all degrees, from !
the sardonic gentleman cut-throat to j
the blood-and-wounds Bill Bowline j
type of tar, but always with as mucn j
sofa-pillow stuffing as possible. On# ;
portrait presents him in a neat mill- !
tia uniform, something like that of }
the time of the Mexican war, and
with the pattern of whiskers after- j
ward known to fame as 'Burnsides.' j
There seems to be one point of accur- ;
acy in all thes-e pictures i? they are
of the three-quarters or full length.
Jones is always represented with a
girdle full of pistols, a habit of dress j
to which he was accustomed.

Unless earl j and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the most efficient treatment
for kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose.
When a woman 13 troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a brickdust

lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
" I cannot express the torrible suffering I
had to endurq. A derangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended
me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until
I was unable to do anything and I made up
my mind I could not live. I finally decided

Burglars In Paris Catacombs. v
Part of the catacombs of Paris beyond
the Luxembourg have also been
invaded by burglars, who were on the
lookout, not for loot, but for skulls.
The thieves, four in number, did not
venture far into the subterranean
place of the dead, as they were evidently
afraid of the labyrinths of the.
catacombs. They attacked the first
pile of bones which they saw, after
having effected an entrance, and carried
away several skuils. The four
catacomb burglars were arrested and
tried. They stated in the police ;
court that they wanted the skulls to redecorate
the rooms of their lodgings.
in reality they proposed to sell thera
to medical students. The four were
condemned to fines of 25f. each, and
to terms of imprisonment.?London

Lived by His Nose.
There was once a man who was i
Jeaf and dumb and in consequence
had difficulty in earning enough to
support himself. As often occur\
those who are deprived of one sense \
have another in an unusual degree.
This was the case with this man. He
had a sense of smell so remarkable
that he became an expert in detecting
the presence of oil wells. His
Qose was purchased by a big company
(naturally the man himself went
ilong with his nose) and he managed
:o eke out an excellent living.

CHANCED HUSBAND.
Wife Made Wiee Change in Food*
Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and-bowel trouble.
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when we
were married and had suffered from it
for several years. It was almost impossible
to find anything he could eat
.without bad results.
"I thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee, and persuaded him to
discontinue it. He did so, and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. The change
did him good from the beginning, his
digestion improved; he suffered much
less from his nervousness, and when
he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet
he was soon entirely cured.
"My friend, Mrs. , of Vicksburg
(my former home), had become a
I nervous wreck also from dyspepsia,
j Medicines had no effect, neither did
i travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago, I persuaded her to
I use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de- ,
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until it restored her health so completely
that she is now the most enthu- *
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that I
over knew. She eats it with cream or
dry, just as it comes from the package
?keeps it in her room and eats it whenI
ever she feels like it.
"I began eatiDg Grape-Nuts food myself
when my baby was two months
old, and I don't know what I should
have done without it My appetite was
gone, I was weak and nervous and afforded
but very little nourishment for
the child. The Grape-Nuts food, of
which I soon grew very fond, speedily
set all this right again, and the baby,
i grew healthful, rosy and beautiful as a
mother could wish. He is two years
old now and eats Grape-Nuts food himself.
I wish every tired young-mother
knew of the good that Grape-Nots
would do her."
