REPORT IS DOUBTED
Ginners Claim Government

Owners of Many Gins Declare They

reau and Authorized no On#

feature ln connection with the case.

NOVember JO. In order to subStan-
tlate bis claim he produced as evi¬
dence a blank similar to the one he
had filled out at his gin and sent to
the department of agriculture.
The letter raised quite a seusattod

The government explained that Mr;
Mlxson had confused the different de¬
partments of the government public add that that
tflft ebtlmaUi filade was of
the census bureau and not the agrlcul-
tural department.
To this Mr. Mlxson made reply that
the government either used the agri¬
cultural department gin report or
guessed at the figures, as no other re¬
port had been made by the ginners.
Hundreds of ginners have given evi¬
dence ln favor of Mr. Mixson’s con-
tention and they all say positively that
the government has only adopted Oh8
means of securing reports 3fi giniilng
and that has been through the medulm
b f thg agricultural department report.
The whole argument had reached
such proportions that the department
of labor and commerce, under which
the census bureau operates, took tfi*

Nokr the question arises ss to how
the alleged report of tho MlXSon gin¬

The ginners of this section are en-
tirely unanimous that they have made
no report to the census department

was merely an agent going through

are filled every morning by men from
the Humane Society, and It Is the
early dog that gets the drlhk: As soon
as the car rush begins, goodby doggie.
