NO COTTON DEAL WITH VAN EIPEE
Says Statement that He Cits Oat
Official Statistics In AsWane of
Pabllcatloa La a False
hood. W ASHINGTON, June 28. Ths entire day
In the trial of former Associate Statistician
Holmes of the Agricultural department on
the charae of conspiracy to defraud the
government was consumed in the exam
ination of Holmes himself, who was still
on the stand when court adjourned for the
day. His testimony covered most all the
charges. Admission was made by the wit
ness that he had speculated In cotton in
the spring of 1906 through a Minneapolis
house, but he said that at that time no
cotton reports were being promulgated by
the department.
vi m .nM tyat hufnm this trial he had
known nothing of the letters said to have
been written by Peckham to van Kiper
end denied the authorship of lettera at
tributed to him. He also declared that he
had never agreed to furnish Broker Price
any advance Information concerning the
cotton report and that he had never sup
plied him with any facts except In an of
ficial way. He made the same denial with
reference to Van Riper, Haas and Peck
ham. No Definite Information.
"I talked freely to everybody that I came
In contact with," he said, "but I gave no
definite information to any one. For In
stance, In talking with a man about the
price of cotton, I would say, 'It is too high,
because the newspaper reports indicate a
big yield.' " ...
lie also denied that he had attempted
Improperly to Influence Mr. Hyde in pre
paring the official report and said that he
had never made a promise to secure any
given result regarding the figures. After
he became personally responsible for the
figures he had not talked at all about the
outlook. He said he had not arranged for
a cipher code with Peckham, Haas or
Van Riper.
Witness said that when he severed his
connection with the Agricultural depart
ment he left his private papers in his desk,
the purpose of his statement being to ex
plain his own failure to produce documents
or to account for their presentation by the
prosecution. He said that when charges
were made against him to Secretary Wilson
he had himself requested that he be aus
pended pending investigation.
Van Riper Tharsjed with Falsehood.
He declared to be "absolutely false" all
of Van Rlper's statement concerning his
alleged agreement to aupply all informa
tion to the New Yorker. Asked aa to the
truth of Van Rlper'a testimony to the
effect that he (Holmes) had told him (Van
Riper) that Haas had at one time given
him forty-nine 1.W bills, he declared It
to be untrue. Nor was it true that Price
was "carrying" him for 10.0UO bales of cot
ton. These and other charges were cate-....ru-niiv
and emphatically denied. He
testified he never had received any money
.nto rvekham. Haae or Van Riper
as a share of profits, nor had he received j
any money irom cuner m m..i
$10,000 from Van Riper on account of the
Idaho mine.
Holmes said that In March or April and
May of ! he had speculated in cottim
through Charles E. Lewis of Minneapolis,
there being no crop report between Decem
ber and June.
On cross-examination Holmes said hs had
not talked about cotton speculations with
broker Price because he was a large oper
ator and his movements formed the sub
ject of newspaper comment. He did. how
ever, indulae In such talk with amall oper
ators. Holmes said that he had not con
tributed any money to the firm of Peckham.
Mercer & Co., and that he understood that
tbe tender of a fifth Interest to him was
practlially a gift. Ile still Insisted that
he withdrew as soon as hs discovered part
of its dealings would be in cotton. The

LOVING CASE READY FOR JURY
Conrt Excludes Testimony Tending: to
Dhow Falsity of Story of
Defendant's Daughter.
HOUSTON, Va., June 23. The taking of
evidence In the case of termor Judge Wil
liam O. Loving, who was placed on trial
In the circuit court of Halifax county here
last Monday morning for the murder of
young Theodore Bates in Nelson county on
April 22, was concluded at 6 o'clock this
afternoon. The court then adjourned until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when the in
structions to be given the Jury will be
argued before Judge W. R. Barksdale, the
presiding magistrate.
Today marked a most important turning
point in the case, when Judge Barksdale
rendered an opinion concerning the ad
missibility of certain evidence, the decision
dealing a heavy blow to the plans of the
prosecution. Attorney Daniel Harmon, for
the prosecution, yesterday announced his
Intention of Introducing witnesses to show
that the story told by Miss Elizabeth Lov
ing to her father that she was drugged
and assaulted by Theodore Eates, was a
fabrication and that Estes never offered
any Indignities to the girl, even suggesting
that there might be another motive back
of the killing. The defense objected to the
introduction of such testimony on the
ground that It had no bearing on the case
and whether true or false had nothing to
do with the question of the insanity of
Judge Loving at the time of the tragedy.
Judge Barksdale, In a lengthy opinion to
day sustained the contention of the de
fense, and among the cases he cited as
authority was the famous Thaw trial in
New York.
After the opinion of Judge Barksdale had
been rendered, the prosecution began the
examination of a number of witnesses in
rebuttal of the evidence introduced by the
defense that Loving was insane at the
time of the shooting.
Recess was taken from 12 o'clock until
4 o'clock to give the prosecution time to
prepare a hypothetical question to propound
to an expert on Insanity Dr. J. S. Dejar
nette, superintendent of the Western State
Hospital at Stanton. This question was
similar to the one asked Dr. Emmons of
Washington yesterday by the defense. In
reply to the question, "What effect do you
think auch experiences would have on the
mind of this man?" the witness replied:
"I think he would be very angry from the
provocation that he thought his daughter
had been ruined by the young man re
ferred to, but not Insane."
Dr. Dejarnetts testified as to the effect
of acute alcoholism on the brain, the ef
fect of insanity on the different nerves and
tissues, the temporary and permanent re
sults from delirium tremens. Most of his
testimony, as well as the questions aaked,
were of a technical nature.

TOO MUCH REPRESSION CHARGED
Former Associates of Premier Clemen
ceao Allege that Ile Has Changed
Policy and Join Forces with
Deputies from fionth.
PARIS, June 28. The Premier, Eugene
Clemenceau, tomorrow may have to face
one of the most serious ordeals of his re
markable career. All the extreme loft
groups with which hq has been affiliated
in the past ore now on the warpath, be
cause, as they allege, he has turned his
back on his former associates and since
May 1 has resorted to methods of repres
sion. The entire representation In the re
bellious region of the south, Irrespective of
party, is also against him. Almost a score
of interpellations have been Introduced In
the Chamber of Deputies, covering the gen
eral policy of the government, the employ
ment of troops, the bloodshed In the south
and other matters, and M. Blanc, unified
socialist, this afternoon was dissuaded only
with difficulty from demanding M. Clemen
ceau's Impeachment.
But the premier's resourcefulness Is tra
ditional. He has been the hero of so many
parliamentary battles that his friends be
lieve he W'lll triumph again tomorrow. The
moderate republicans endorse his course
and many members of the right, although
they bitterly oppose him personally, prob
ably will vote to sustain the ministry.
Business Interests throughout the country
are alarmed at the growing disorganisation
that pervades the masses, and the gennral
sentiment favors a more conservative
rather than a more radical government.
The premier announced tonight that re
ports received from the prefects in the dis
turbed area show that pacification Is pro
ceeding so rapidly that he hopes soon to
order the withdrawal of the troops.
