NO. 253. ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1907. PRICE: liWVEME; DETECTIVES A. Hirsch, Friend of Abe Hummel, Is Missing. WAS RECOMMENDED BY ALTON B. PARKER Clearing House Investigates Alleged Irregularities of Hirsch. What has beeomo of A. Hirsch, handsome young lawyer who came to Atlanta a few months ago from Xew York, highly recommended by Judge Alton Bi Parker, former Democratic presidential nominee, Abe Hummel, the New York dlabarred lawyer, and other prominent people, and who has sud denly vanished from view. This Is a question city detectives and a number of business men would like very much to have answered. Hirsch, who Is a suave young man of about twenty-five years, Is reported to have skipped from Atlanta, leaving behind him a I trail of forgeries and other irregularities. At the time disappeared he was connected with the law offices of Attorney P. M. Hughes, In the Austell building. Attorney Hughes stated Thursday that Hirsch had forged his name and had als» com mitted other shady acts. The matter has been brought to the notice of the Atlanta Clearing -House Association and this organization will at once take^teps to have the missing New Yorker returned to At lanta. Hirsch was admitted to the local bar only a few weeks ago. He readily made (riends’and had no trouble In es tablishing himself In the good graces of numbers of prominent citizens, both , because of his genial disposition and his endorsement. It Is learned 'that Hirsch was con nected for five years In New York with the Tnw offices of AM Hummel, the celebrated theatric;il lawyer, who lias figured conspicuously of late In ^he public eye. It will bo remembered that Hummel was disbarred as an after math of the Dodge divorce trial, and •Iso figured In the trial of Harry K. Thaw, by submitting a muchly talked of affidavit. • The f«ct that Hirsch has disappeared was developed Wednesday afternoon In police court, when cases made In a recent raid by detectives on the Vir ginia hotel In North Broad street were called for trial. Hirsch formerly boarded In this hotel and Is one of the defendants, being charged with dis orderly conduct. There aro also- cases against C. Handle, the proprietor, and James Huff, a clerk In the hotel. De tectives say that Huff has also disap peared. The trial was postponed untl April JO. Detectives charge that the hotel has been run ns a disorderly house and that Intoxicants have been sold Illegally. , The case Is being handled by Ser geant Lanford and Detectives Lockhart, Wood and Starnes.

G. Eubanks, state business agent of the Farmers* Union. . Mr. Eubanks Is In Atltfnta Thursday. President R. Duckwprth, of the Georgia division of the Farmers’ Union, was present at the Interview and Indorsed Mr. Eubanks' statements. 'We were Invited to this meeting, stated Mr. Eubanks. "In order that we might hear this question discussed. Our Alabama state business agent, Mr. P. F. Parker, was there, and also a few other Fanners* Union representatives." "The announcements has gone out.’* continued Mr. Eubunks, "that a plan was agreed upon at this meeting, and that It had the Indoisement of both the Farmers* Union and the Southern Cot ton Association. Nothing could be fur ther from the truth. Alabama State Agent Parker has already sent out a denial of the statement published In The Atlanta Journal, and making it clear that the Formers' Unlr/n has not Indorsed the plan- promulgated." “All Cocked and Primed.’* "I may as well be frank," said State Agent Eubanks, "and say that as soon ns we got to Birmingham we found that the meeting, was all cocked and primed by the Southern Cotton Asso ciation. The Invitation we received came not from It, but from others, the Southern Cotton Association evidently fearing to take the lead In' the move ment on account of Its odorous connec tion with Mr. Hoadley, of Wall street. So we were Invited by others, but we did not take the bait. From all we could see, one end of the fishing pole was In Wall street, and we have no doubt that’ Speculator Hoadley was - ik- iK f«***llng for tremors ;«f the Imu die end to see whether or not the nlb- blers nt the other end of tho lino meant business. "We must make It plain now that we can not, and will not, co-operate with tho Southern Cotton Association aft long os It Is officered by ipen ns close to Wall street ns ore some of Its pres ent head officers. Less than six months ngo Mr. Hoadley In an Interview boldly mado the statement that he was kept constantly In touch with cotton devel opment In the South by almost dally communication with President Hnrvle Jordan—that Mr. Jordan let him know’ ‘Just what was going on.* That came only a short while after tlie time when the Southern Cotton Association en deavored to force the Farmers’ Union to make a stand for 10-cent cotton for last season. Wo would not do It, but made* a strafghtout fight for ll-cor.t cotton, nnd largely as the results of our efforts most of the last year’s crop has sold at nearer II cents than 10 rents. If w** hud ngr^-d to 10-rent rutton. not one bale of cotton In tho South would have brought more than thnt figure. '“May be Loaded,” “As to the Birmingham warehouse movement, a plan was proposed by this convention to establish a cotton change for handling warehouse re- rrlpts, cloning contracts <»n them in stead of spot cotton. Our plan Is for the farmers’ Union to deal only In spot cotton und to sell direct to the spinner. We aro establishing warehouses throughout the South and at the pres ent rate of Increase It will not he long before our warehouses are available to the entire cotton belt. But we propose to retain the Identity of a bale of cot ton front the gin to the spinner, giving the producer the benefit to be so de rived. It seems to me this scheme to Imridb* piper «»»Iv. b’.-lng th** :b*ntl»v of the bale of cotton. Is a scheme of speculation pure and simple. It may work all right In some Instances, and in other Instances It may be loaded at both ends and in tho middle.
