The committee consists of ‘Messrs. Henry Glover (chairman), Otho Graves, and W. P. Johnston, of Louisville; Kendrick and Smith, of Clarksville, Tenn.; F. A. Prague, of Cin- cinnatt; Worthington, of Maysville, and Rags- dale, of Hopkinsville, with ex-Congressman Willis as counsel, ‘The gentlemen were recelved by Commissioner Colman and ‘MR. WILLIS MADE A STATEMENT. ‘He sald the committee, representing the entire to- Bacco interests of the South and West, had left their business and come on here to protest against what he declared was a: and glaring injustice and injury to all who are interested in tobacco, He sald the facts Uy mn Which the com- mittee made their estimates had been gathered at great expense and solely with the purpose of get- Ung atthe truth, In a large proportion of the ‘tobacco region ute condition of the crops was as- certained by men sent out for that purpose, From other sections the condition of the crops Was as- certained by correspondence with councy officials of the tobacco-growing sections who are familiar with crop conditiéns in thelr respective localities. Every means, sald Mr, Willis, of attaining accurate reports had been empioyed,aud these re- ports showed that the July report of the Agricul. tural Department had’ overwhelmingly exceeded the actual acreage. ‘The first report of the ware- housemen estimated the acreage this year at 35 er cent as compared with last year, aud later re~ rtscutit down to 30 per cent, ‘Mr, Willis set orth the great Injury to the vabacco interest that he clainied had been done'y this exaggerated re- port, and said the committee ap) ‘commis sioner Colman, as the responsible bead of the Department, U0 have the error corrected. COMMIBSIONER COLMAN SaID that ho was absent taking a much needed rest when the report was made, and personally bad nothing to do with {t, He said tt had beer bis aim to bring the farmers in rapport with, his admin istration, He had earnestly striven togerve and protect the farmers, He was a farmer himself, and all his sympathies were with tat class. Hé had instructed Mr. Dodge in all his reports to hew to the line, lev the chips fall where they might. Mr. Colman paid a high tribute to Mr. Dodge's ability and integrity. [He sald that soon after he (Colman) took churge of the bureau he considered the propriety of removing Mr. He con- Sulted with inembers of Congress on the subject, and some of them thought a change would bé Deneficlal, but when it came to finding a compe. tent man Yor the place it was very diflcult. Mr. Dodge was recognized as one of the ablest statisti clans of the land, ie wasknownas such notonly. in this country but abroad. The salary, sald the Commisstouer, 1s only $2,500, and when he looked man he found he could not_get one the qualifications for less than $10,000 r. Dodge liad been In the position about years, and this was the second tme his estimates had been questioned, Once before his cotton figures were attacked, but when the crop | Was in 1 was shown his figures were correct. For atime Mr. Dodge was out doing work in the cen- Sus, and his successor had a wretched experience, ils reports were derided ell over the country, and he was glad to resign. Mr, Dodge was induced to return, though he did'so unwillingly, He aid not want the place again. Gov. Colman sald to the committee that if they couid produce auy evidence of fraud or colluston, or even show that from prejudice or any other motive estimates had been wilfully falstiied, he Would tnstantly remove Mfr. Dodge; but ne (Col. man) was satistled nothing of the kind could be shown, He had implicit confidence in the integ- rity of Mr. Dodge. “Even if he had madea mis. take—an honest mtstake—that would be no good cause for removing i, When the propriety of making achange Was considered 1t was pot based upon any wudiness of Mr, Dodge. He (Colman) then consulted higher authorities, and was ad- monished that in view of Mr. Dodge’s wide expe- rience and Well-known character 1t was better to retain him, He had the utinost confidence in the Sntegrity of the statistician, but if auything im. Poaching that integrity could be produced, Mr. ige Would be removed, and if the committee a suitable man they might present him, Willis said the coluinittee had nobody to recommend. ‘They wanted the erroneous estl- mates corrected. Mit, DODGE APPEARS. Mr. Dodge was sent for and presented to the comintttee, Mr. Glover, chairman of the committee, briefly explained how they had procured their ngures, aud claimed that the estimates of Mr. Dodge {oF July more than doudied the actual average Of the tobacco planted. He suid the committer were bot Speculators, nor did they represent. speculators, ‘They represented the producers, and wey wanted to ste the figures or correspondence upon which Mr. Dodge Dased tus July report. He sald their most reliable estimates showed that 36 per cent of the average of last year was planted tbis year, much less ‘than haif of the July estimate of the Department. It Mr. Dodge had based is report upon erroncous reports then he must be exoner- ated, While his syste would be condemned, Mr. Dodge read a carerully-prepared statement in reply. “ide explained the method of procuring estimates, and showed that for years lis system: has produced remarkably accurate results, At the outset ne said he wanted to defend Commis. sloner Colman against accusations and imputa- tons that bad been cast upon him, Mr. Wilits, speaking or the committee, said he wanted to émphaticatly deny that they had in- duiged in any criticisins or tmputations upon the Commissioner, ‘They had given him credit for an upright purpose. If they bad not had confidence in hfs willingness to do right they would not have gone to him. Mr. Dodge, resuming, said the Commissioner was absent When the July report was made, and did not see any of the estimates. He sald his re- ports were received from State ages of tie De- partment, from State boards of agriculture, and from others. He would take pleasure in laying Defore the committee the entire basis of bis report in detail, He said that his reports were re- ceived in June, and aiter that the drought set In, which had materially reduced the tobacco crop. Mr. Glover maintained that the acreage could not have been reduced. Mr. Dodge replied that it was a well-known tact that many farmers abandoned that portion of a growing crop which it was evident would not pro- luce, and that such abandoned acreage was elim- inated from subsequent reports. He explained at length is system and showed that ins July report Was based upon figures furnished by the agents of the department, hd that An soine mstances he had curtailed the estimates of State agents, Belore the hearing was concluded the delegation adjourned for luncl and reassembled at the Agri- cultural Department later in the afternoon.
