The Woman in the Case.
An interesting feature in the
, cas w "t the cotton crop scandal in
th j Bureau of Statistics of th« De
partment of Agriculture is the
woman that has come to the front.
Just what she had to do, if nny
j thing, with falsifying cotton crop
reports doesn’t appear. It is a
fact however, that her name is
mentioned in connection with the
investigation ‘ which th" grand
jurv of the District of Columbia
I jg making of the scandal. She
is carried on the rolls as a “com¬
piler” in the bureau, but it is said
that she claims that she was the
1 j)r j V Ate secretary of Stafstican
j|yde. But whatever her position
W)ls her rise from the position of
j laburer at $4S0 a year to that of
j " COII) piler” paying $1,800 a
which she held when she
last week, was remarkably rapid,
In a little less t ban nine years
advanced to a place that
clerks in the government
do not reach in twice that
j years, s »uie never
for
through the years of a pretty long
life.
But there is no f ac t that has
thus tar been brought to light that
indicates that this woman hud any
thing to do with disposing of in¬
formation respecting the cotton
crop to cotton speculators. It is
true that it is said she exerted a
great influence over Statistician
Hyde, and that she borrowed large
sums of money from him on notes
indorsed by Assistant Statistician
Holmes. It seems that she passed
a creditable examination every
time she was given an increase ot
salary.
What the grand jury expects to
get from her isn’t known to the
public. It may be t hat it is hoped
she knows why Statistician Hyde
left the country immediately after
he sent in his resignation, instead
of waiting to assist in ferreting
out the facts respecting the “leak”
in the Department of Agriculture.
And she may have some informa¬
tion showing why Assistant Sta
tistican Homes left Washington
for parts unknown when it was
understood that the grand jury
would like to question him in res¬
pect to the “leak.”
It is probable that the refusal of
the two cotton brokers of New
York to answer all the questions
put to them by the grand jury was
not unexpected, if they continue
to refuse to talk a way will be
found to make them change their
minds. There is no mystery con¬
^
nected with them, but there is
some connected with the woman
in the case. It may turn out that
she has just the sort ot informa¬
tion the grand jury wants. If she
has she may tell a story that will
interest the whole country.—Sav¬
annah Nevvi.

When he was an ensign he showed
extraordinary heroism during a

An exchange make9 the follow¬
ing pertinent remark about the
citizen who expects the newapap

“It is astonishing how many peo¬

Spain lost the Phillipines, but

She succeeded and at the same

both the Phillipines and the canal
are costing him a mighty lot of
worry, while Spain and France are
entirely content with their bar¬
gains.—Macon Telegraph.
