station. There, in custody of the sher

U.S. OFFICERS HIT

Moss Investigating Committee
Criticises Employees of De
partment of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.—Officials
in the employ of the department of
agriculture are criticised for "impro
priety. discrimination and irregulari
ties in financial transactions" in the
majority report of the Moss investi
gating committee which was presented
to the house tmday. The report de
clares that in Irrigation and drainage
projects the committee has observed
"the great degree to which this impot
tant work was permitted to be subordi
nated at several stages of /ts develop
ment, to the advancement of other
work in which individual members of
congress were particularly interested."
The vascillating course of the de
partment in the Florida Everglades is
described by the committee as “dif
ference of opinion between members of
congress and the state authorities of
Florida, with the irreconcilable diffei
ences in the opinions and conclusions
of engineers tn the division ./ drainage
as another contributing cause."
Regarding the famous Everglades in
vestigation which was suppressed afte"
it was made out ostensibly by the de
paitment. the repo l l says that "the
circular was objectionable to certain
persons who were offering lands for
sale. The same interests which made
this objection to the circular had been
guilty of circulating highly extrava
gant statements in praise of the Eve:-
glades lands and falsely attributing the
authorship to Secretary Wilson."
Ex-Engineer Assailed.
Supervising Engineer .1. G Wrlghl
is assailed by the report for ills con
duct while carrying on drainage pioj
ects so.- the department. After calling
attention to the fact that Wright, in
bis testimony, admitted taking money
and stork from real estate promoters
and speculators who were working
joint !■■• on land improvements with the
govc l nm'-tit. ihe report says:
■■Tii: < • an-at tions of Mr. Wright arc
repugnant to that fine sense of honor
and propriety which ordinarily distin
guishes the conduct of government of
ficials. and can not be too severely con
demned. If he were still in the govern
ment service your committee would un
hesitatingly recommend his dismissal
therefrom."
A.-sistant Secretary of Agriculture F.
M. Hays is also criticised in the report
for taking an option on a land project
mar Raleigh. N. (’.. and for being as
sociated with Wright.
With regard to the irregularities oc
curring in the department with respect
to tin- disbursement of government
funds, the committee criticises the con

Prices Advance When They
Cover Margins—Early Of
ferings Absorbed.
.NEW YORK. Aug. 19. While Liverpool,
cables rallied after a weak start the cot
ton market here moved independently at
the opening, beginning i to 6 points und r
Saturday’s closing under pressure from
spot room trade. Reports of rain over I
the Texas belt added firmness to the mar- '
ket later during the early trading With- |
in a few minutes after the opening Mc-
Fadden interests were heavy sellers and [
sold the market off 8 to 13 points in most •
active positions. After the call the ring ■
crowd and commission houses were heavy |
buyers and through their aggressiveness -
prices rallied back toward the early |
prices.
The uptown crowd and Waldorf interest
were good buyers, which was thought to ;
be short covering Also large spot in- ;
terests were credited with buying at
times, but were openly offering, and
through this heavy buying prices during ;
the afternoon session quickly regained the
early decline, with prices 8 to 11 points
above the opening figures. The market
was given strength laier. on report that
the eastern belt is deteriorating, while
Texas shows some improvement. It is
believed that the next two weeks will de
termine to a great extent what the trade
expects, and there Is a hesitancy among
the average trader* to await further de
velopments.
At the (dose the market was steady
with prices show ing a net gain of 6 to 8 ]
points from the final quotations of Sat
urday.
