ATI.ANTAt The Atlanta Georgian. GrOMGIA: VOL. I. NO. 78. ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 26 1906 P1UCE: JORDANHAS CALLED FOR INVESTIGATION BASEBALL* Charges Against Cot-\FAIR CHILD SAYS THAI HE ton Ass’n Officers to be Aired. OWNED BUCKET SHOP STOCK BUCKET SHOP STOCK IN FAIRCHILD’S NAME Fairchild Is Manager of Publicity of the Cotton Association. An Investigation Into the allegations and rumors afloat about the Southern Cotton Association, which have con nected members at the association with bucket shops and manipulations In cot ton futures, will be held Monday morn ing. , The call for the Investigation was Is sued Thursday morning by President Harvle Jordan. The committee to conduct the Inves tigation, as appointed by Mr. Jordan, Is composed of three prominent officers of the Southern Cotton Association— M. L. Johnson, president of the Geor gia division; John D. Walker, treasurer of the Georgia division, and W. L. Peek, national committeeman. Representative Anderson, of Chat ham, whose charges, made In the house Tuesday, have precipitated the Investigation, is requested by President Jordan to appear and specify as to his allegations. * Mr. Anderson says he will be present. He declines to "show his hand,” as re quested by a member of the house, un- . til this meeting. Rumors, connecting officers of the association with bucket shops and speculation, the very things tho asso ciation has always claimed to be most strongly against, have com? thick and fast during the past two weeks. ONE-EIGHTH INTEREST IN FAIRCHILD'S NAME. It was learned Thursday morning that one-eighth of the stock of the Piedmont Brokerage Company, an at legcd bucket shop, was held In the name' of Arthur A. Fairchild. Arthur A. Fairchild Is. manager of publicity for the Southern Cotton As sociation. The fact that this stock was held In Falrchlld's'name was confirmed Thurs day morning by the statement of Man ager Love, of the Piedmont Brokerage Company. When asked about this eighth part Manager'Love said; "I am now the largest holder In the Piedmont Brokerage Company. I have bought up all the available stock. This I did before the bill was Introduced In the house. I bought Mr. Fairchild's share and that belonging to Dr. Craw ford. Mr. Fairchild sold his share about the same time Dr. Crawford did." When asked who were the other stockholders at the present time, Mr. Love said he was not at liberty to tell the names of.any of the stockholders other than those mentioned, as the others still held their shares, and It would be a violation of confidence to make their names public. THAT’S CHEATHAM'S TRADE, MANAGER LOVE WOULD SAY. Another Important piece of evidence which has not up until this time been published was a statement made by Dr. J. M. Crawford, who said: “On several occasions while In the Piedmont bucket slfop references were made to assumed names under which 'deals' were put through, and on sev eral occasions Manager Love, of the- ■hop, said In reference to the name J. A. Lee, 'Why, that’s Cheatham's trade.* "• Dr. Crawford said further that he held a conversation oVer the 'phone with Manager Love Wednesday and that Manager Low said he would not divulge the names of any of his patrons or the stockholders In the company. It would Injure his business. takes his ownZife AFTER SIX ATTEMPTS Several hours after a reporter of The Georgian secured Information from Manager Love that A. A. Fairchild had held In his name an. Interest In the Piedmont Brokerage Company, a card was Issued by Mr. Fairchild In which he asserted that he had bought the stock In question, subsequently sell ing It. Manager Love late Wednesday after noon declined to say whether or not he had communicated with Mr. Fair- child after haring admitted to The Oeorglan reporter that Mr. Fairchild had been a stockholder. Mr. Fairchild's card follows: “To the Public: Owing to certain reflections cast upon high and honor able ofllcers of the Southern Cotton Association. I feel It my duty In justice to the parties In question to make the following statement: "Early last spring I was solicited by one E. D. Hotze to purchase stock In a brokerage company, being Informed that reputable and honorable citizens of Atlanta were stockholders. I pur chased and paid for with my personal check one-eighth Interest In the Pied mont Brokerage Company. 1 did so considering It a good Investment, hav ing no conscientious scruples against owning such property. I counclled no one In this connection, nor did the of ficers of the Southern Cotton Associa tion know of the transaction.

If Pres. connections, desire me to my work for the Southern Cotton As sociation, feeling that It has been in jured by my actions, I will willingly tender my resignation. This Is writ ten for the purpose of forever setting at rest the minds of certain Individ uals who are ndeavorlng to question the character and all eerily of Innocent ofllcers of the Southern Cotton Asso ciation. "Very truly, ••A. A. FAIRCHILD." Atlanta—100 001 Olx—3 N.Orl'ns-200 000 000-2 JORDAN’S OFFICIAL CALL President Harvle Jordan Thursday morning furnished the press with the following statement: "Representative Anderson of Chat ham has publicly withdrawn all ref erence or any Intimation to me In his alleged. charges on the floor of the house last Tuesday, which Is entirely satisfactory to me personally. As president of the Southern Cotton As sociation, however, and In my ofllclnt capacity I cannot permit the alleged charges made by Mr. Anderson against certain unnamed ofllcers or employees of the association to stand unchal- Icngcl. I'oeltivc n nil definite proofs must be presented rutlter thnn hearsay evidence,-nnd the names of the alleged tics or party given out to the pub- I have therefore appointed the following ofllcers of the association to hear whatever testimony Mr. Ander son or others may have relative to the inntter, and bring the facts or falsity of the alleged charges to a Anal de cision ns promptly ns possible. "Colonel W. L. Peek, Conyers, Ga., national, committeeman: Hon. M. L. Johnson. Atlanta, Ga.. state president; John D. Walker, Sparta, Ga., treasurer Georgia state division.

The com mittee has been notified and requested to meet next Monday morning, July 10, at 10 o'clock In the president's of fice, 21S Peeples building. "Representative Anderson has also been officially notified of the appoint ment of the above named committee, the place of meeting, and requested to be present and testify to his alleged charge*. The trial of this matter will he open to the public, as the Southern Cotton Association has nothing to con ceal with reference to the acts uml doings of Its ufllclal work or that of Its officers. Secretary Richard Cheatham also .bands n full' nnd complete Investi gation of the charges preferred by Mr. Anderson, and every opportunity will be given Representative Anderson eith er to sustain his alleged charges, or withdraw them In aa public manner aa 1s necessary."

Wednesday he made his first formal speech In the house. It was a dulcet discourse of astound ing adject! vlty. Sonorous sounds poured from the lips of th# gent from Chatham like honey from a punctured bee-gum. He perorated periods so well rounded that when they dropped from his tongue they rolled down the aisle Ilk* rubber balls, bouncing here and thare, and winding up final)y among th# bunch of newspaper men. That speech made a hit. It was the talk of the statesmen end politicians Wednesday night, and Thursday morning It was still the par amount subject of discussion. So shortly after tha house convened Mr. WrlghL of Floyd, himself an ora torical bulbul of note, arose and pra- sented the following resolution: "Whereas, the gentleman from Chat ham, Mr. Anderson, in his eloquent speech on the Jamestown, Exposition bill used every beautiful word In the English language with the single ex ception of the word 'ambrosia;' there fore. be It • . . , "Resolved, That the distinguished or ator be allowed one minute's time to Incorporate that Incomparable word In bis oration; and "Be It further resolved. That In the event he Ids successful, the aum of SO cents, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be appropriated to secure Its publication In all the papers of the state." Blushing to the rim of hair which ornaments the rear of his head, there being a paucity of such on top and In front, Mr. Anderson arose and said that realization of his own lack of hair was always upon him and that In bis pcerh he had not Included "ambrosia" Misuse he frit embarra»sment at any reference to a word related in anylj.
