M. L. JOHNSON LATE; PROBING DELAYED “Investigation” Will Be Be gun at 10 O’Cloek Wed nesday Morning. Because M. L. Johnson, of Benton, president of the Georgia division of the cotton association, failed to arrive Monday morning, the "Investigation," which the officers of the'Southern Cot- ton Association were to conduct at 10 o'clock, was postponed first until o'clock in the afternoon until Wednes day morning at 10 o'clock. Mr.,John son and Hon. W. L. Peek, of Rock dale, will conduct the Investigation. Mike O’Grady was present in the of flees of the cotton association when the Investigation was due. It was Mike O'Grady In the flesh, who came alt the way from Chattanooga to explain why he bought and sold cotton through an Atlanta exchange In preference to US' Ing the home exchange. He says Richard Cheatham did his trading for him here. “I CAN GAMBLE IF I WANT TO," DECLARES MICHAEL O’GRADY. Michael O’Grad'y Is vice president and manager of the Wakeman Distilling Company, of Chattanooga. He Is a Republican, a leader of the Brownlow faction in East Tennessee politics, and a man of some wealth. As he re marked Monday: "I am in such circumstances that I can GAMBLE if I want to.” Mr. O’Grady was seated in an Inner office when the newspaper representa tives called to be present at the in vestigation. ■ The representatives of The Journal and News were led into ti;" Inner sanctum by Richard Cheat ham and Introduced to Mr. O'Grady. The Georgian representative was not officially Informed that any such per son waApresent. When ho called later and asked Mr. Cheatham if Mr. O'Grady were In the offices, Mr. Cheat' ham remarked: ''Where did you hear that? You .can hear anything around thesa bucket shops.” ' Mr. Cheatham steadily refused to state whether or not Mr. O’Grady was pressnt. Michael O'Grady himself was more communicative, however, and ex “O’GRADY NAME IS NEW TO ME.”—Cheatham “KNOWN CHEATHAM FOR *YEARS.”—0’Grady Richard Cheatham, secreta ry Southern Cotton Association, said in The Constitution of July 25: “I have nothing to say touch ing Mr. Anderson’s charges in which Lee and O’Grajly are brought into the limelight. Tho NAMES ARB NEW TO ME, notwithstanding the historical prominence which many Lees and O'Gradya have attained.” Michael O’Grady, vice presi dent and,manager of Wakeman Distilling Company, of Chatta nooga, Tenn.: “I have known Cheatham for four or five years. I know him in Mississippi and in Memphis, Tenn. lie made a number of investments for mo on Atlanta exchanges last February and March and possibly in January, lie used his own judgment in the investments.” OUTSIDE INVESTIGA TlON DEMANDED FOR OFFICIALS From'The Albany Herald. The Investigation which President Harvle Jordan has ordered of the implied chargee made by a member of the legislature In a speech In the house of representatives a few days ago, to the effect that some of the officials of the Southern Cotton Association had some sort of connection with an Atlanta bucket shop, will amount to nothing. Instead of ap pointing that committee himself, President Jordan should have asked somebody else to do It. Under the circumstances, nothing but an exon eration and vindication of the officials of the Southern Cotton Association will be expected by the public, and then those who are unfriendly to the association or Its officials will say that the whole matter has been ''white washed” by a committee composed of those officially connected with the association and appointed by the association's president. And, besides, this committee is without any authority to compel witnesses to testify, and If those' who are summoned or Invited to testify refuse to do so, a searching Investigation may not be had.

On July 24 the Hon. J. Randolph Anderson, representative from Chat ham county, d*lared in an address before tho lower house of the legisla ture that certain persons had been speculating in cotton under the name of Mike O'Grady and A. P. Lee, and that it was the duty of the directors of the Southern Cotton Association to Investigate and find out who was spec- uiatlifg under those names. CHEATHAM HANDLED MONEY AND USED HIS JUDGMENT. Mr. O'Grady, of Chattanooga, de clares that It was he Who was trading on ths Atlanta exchange, but that Richard Cheatham, secretary of the Southern Cotton Association, was han dling tho money and using his Judg ment as to when to buy and when to sell. Mr. O'Grady gave out the fob lowing statement Monday morning: "I hatre had Cheatham work several trades for me, In cotton altogether. He did this at my earnest solicitation, tor business reasons, I did not care to lend myself to speculation In Chattanooga, where I live, and, therefore, wrote Mr. Cheatham to handle my trades for me in Atlanta. . . . . . “Mr. Cheatham told me that he had a friend in an exchange here who waa strictly honest and reliable and who could be depended upon to keep his business to himself. “1 HAVE KNOWN CHEATHAM FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS. "I have known Cheatham for four or five years. I knew him In Mississip pi and In Memphis, Tenn. I gave him a. specific sum to Invest for me, with Instructions to use his S wn about when to buy and_sell. These investments began In February or •March, or possibly in January of this year. "I came to Atlanta of my ownac- cord, after hearing through a Chatta nooga newspaper man that my name had been used In connection *'***’ “J® matter, and that I was attalnlng some unenviable notoriety.

At that hour Mr. Anderson, of Chatham boun ty; Hon. W. L. Peek, a member of the executive committee, and a number of interested persons were In attendance.

On the child labor bill, the Bell measure which was passed overwhelm ingly by the house, the vote was 27 to 0—no aye and nay vote being called for when It came up for passage. The amendment made by the committee rel ative to the educational feature was adopted without a dissenting voice. Then,came the vote on the passage of the completed measure. There was no debate, no crowd In the galleries or the rear of the senate and no ap plause, making strong contrast with a year ago when the senate defeated the bill by a vote of 23 to 17 after the house had passed It by a large vote. It was Immediately transmitted to the house. If that body concurs In the senate amendment, which It 1s un derstood It wilt do, notice will be sent to the senate and the measure will go to the governor at once for hie slgna ture. Court of Appeals Pasted. The court of appeals bill was fixed for tbe first business on Monday, but at that time not enough members were present for the requisite constitutional majority, and Senator Miller moved to temporarily table It. The child labor bill was passed, and as many members had come In the court of appeal bill was taken from the table. The amendment of the commit tee relative to the election «o be called In November to elect the three Judges for terms of two, four and tlx years, was adopted. Without debate the completed bill hen passed by the following vote: Ayes—Alsobrook. Bennett, Blood- worth, Bunn, Candler, Carlthers, Cars well, Copelan. Crum, Foster, Foy, Furr, Hamby, Hand, Hogan, King, Lumsden, McHenry, Miller, Odum, Parker, Pey ton. Phillips.

Not voting—Adams. The bill was Immediately transmit ted to the house. If that body concurs In the amendment It will then go to the governor for his signature, and the constitutional question will be sub mitted to the people In the regular fall election. Athens Dispensary Safe. By adopting the recommendation of the senate commute on temperance, the fight on the Athens dispensary Is ended, with a victory for the tank. The commute unanimously recom mended that the bill do not pass, and the house adopted It without question. The house passed the bill to abolish the itiiC could not reach Atlanta before o'clock, and that It would be necessary to postpone the Investigation until * o'clock. "CHEATHAM SAYS IT WILL BE REAL INVESTIGATION." Mr. Cheatham staled that It was to be a real Investigation, and that Jor dan and he would not "Investigate themselves." as had been'nslnuated- He said that the two office™ who would conduct the Investigation were the superior officers, with power to tank, but the < senate declined to ac quiesce. Endowments, Exempted. A' bill by Senator Candler, which Is a constitutional amendment, exempt# endowments of churches and Colleges from taxation, passed the senate .Mon day by a.vote of-33 to 0.
