All 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.

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. DAMAGE BY FLOOD AND STORM Three Persons Reported Killed ia Montana aad Three Injured (n Kansas.

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.
