fit. Petersburg, Aug. 8.—< p. m.—A*
the day developed, a spirit of Intense
unrest settled 'upon loyal subjects of
the ciar and revolutionary sympathis
ers.
At noon this brief announcement was
made from government sources:
“The reports that the non-bureau-
crallc element will enter the cabinet
are untrue.*'
Immediately following the announce
ment, Premier Stolypin went to Peter
hof for the purpose, It Is said, of ten
dering hla resignation to the csar In
person.
Ciar for Dictatorship.
All this goes to confirm the report
given out earlier In the day that the
csar had decided upon a military dic
tatorship for the empire.
of course the center of the whole
controversy Is the refusal of the cxar
arid the bureaucracy to accept the con
ditions which Stolypin made with
fount Heyden, Prince Nicholas Lvoff,
Alexander Cuchkoff, Senator Konl and
Paul Vlnogradoff to reorganise the cab
inet.

Richard Cheatham, who was
censured and condemned by the
investigating committee Thursday
afternoon had not tendered his
resignation ns secretary of the as
sociation Friday afternoon. It
was stated at the offices of the
cotton association that there had
been no developments of interest
to the public.
President Ilarvie Jordan left
Thursday night for a short vaca
tion which he will spend with
his family. It was stated that ho
would return in about ten days.
When the investigating committee
submitted Its report to President Har-
vle Jordan late Thursday afternoon It
condemned Richard Cheatham, secre
tary of the Southern Cotton Associa
tion, In unmistakable terms. While It
made no recommendations for hla dis
missal and left the report In the hands
of the national committee, It so ex
pressed Its opinion of the conduct of
Richard Cheatham as to leave that
body no loophole of escape from de
cisive action.
‘‘Such action meets our strongest
disapproval and and condemnation,”
were the words used In commenting on
Cheatham's admitted operations In the
cotton exchange under the names of
O'Orady and Lee.
"We And no reasonable excuse or
reason for the use by him of the word
'secretary' after his name signed In
checks In these tranactlone. but believe
it to bo a wrong against the associa
tion whose secretary he was, and this
meets the earns condemnation a*
above.”
This was the finding on the use of
Cheatham's official signature to checks
tnjirlvate transactions.
The committee took up the matter
of A. A. Fairchild's part ownership In
a bucket shop and reported:
"Applying this same rule to A. A.
Fairchild, an employee of this associa
tion, for he was unquestionably no
more, no less, we make the same find-
to him.”
as evident after the cloee of the
evidence that the Investigating com
mute could not choose but find that
am had acted against the policy
of the association. In spite of the
fact that but little apparent effort was
made by thoee members of the commit
tee moat In the foreground to draw
out damaging evidence, Mr. Cheatham's
n admlsilbns were sufficient, with
out other evidence, to make a case
against him. There were members of
the committee who said but little, but
who listened quietly and seemed
strongly Impressed by the evtden
•antra.
When the committee returned to the
office of Chairman Johnson, In the
Empire building, at 2 o’clock It was an
nounced that the deliberations were
over, and nothing remained but to pre
pare the report. Mr. Allison, of North
Carolina, had left the committee room
at 12:30 o'clock and did not return.
Mr. Smith did not return to the room
after the adjournment for luncheon,
when he stated the deliberations were
completed. Colonel Peek left shortly
after 2 o’clock, leaving the completion
of the report to Chairman Johnson and
Secretary Seymour. The report, which
was a typewritten document covering
about two pages, was not made public
until about 4:80 o’clock.
Whether or not there was any con
tinued argument over the report or any
strongly marked dissension could not
be learned. The committee met In ex
ecutive session, with only a stenogra
pher present. No minority report was
submitted, and the findings bore the
signatures of the entire committee.
COMMITTEE'S REPORT
TO, PRESIDENT JORDAN.
Following Is the full text of the In
vestigating committee's report to Pres
ident Jordan:
Hon.. Harvle Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Association, Atlanta,
on.—Sir: The committee appointed by
you to Investigate the motive and
foundation for certain charges against
certain officers or alleged officers of

GETS 12 YEARS
FOR TAKING CASH
By Private Leased Wire.
Paterson, N. J., Aug. 3.—Pleading
non-vult to six Indictments, charging
embezzlement, William H. Belcher, for
mer mayor of Paterson, was today sen
tenced on each count In the court of
special sessions to two years In Tren
ton penitentiary at hard labor. The
total sentence is twelve years.
Justice Scott spoke for about fifteen
minutes In sentencing Belcher, but
during the entire address spoke no
word of rebuke. He said It was
painful diRy for him to Impose sen
tence, as Belcher was an old friend
The only mitigating circumstances,
however, he pointed out, were that he
had returned voluntarily to Paterson
and had saved the county the expense
of a trial through hla plea of non-vull.
His sentence, a* pronounced, was "that
the defendant be confined In the state
-rtson at Trenton for two years at
ard labor on each Indictment, the
terms not to run concurrently.”
Belcher showed no signs of feeling
as sentenced was pronounced. He was
led away by Deputy Bergen and taken
H. r *
back to the
Under the law he
may remain for nine days In the Jail
here before starting for Trenton. The
general Impression, however, is that he
will ask to In removed to the pen!
tentiary at once.
The total embezzlement charged
against Belcher In the Indictments was
$32,000. Four Indictments were for
taking money of the Manchester
Building and Loan Company, and the
other two Indictments were for em
bezzllng from his personal friends.
HARLEY'S WILDNESS
COSTS FIRST GAME
Harley’s weakness In the third In
ning. which wae made all the worse
by his wild throw, cost Atlanta the
first game of the double-header, the
score being 2 to 0.
Hausen opened that Inning by sing'
ling to left. Apperlous wae given four
bad ones and McCann hunted. Harley
picked up the ball, then threw wild to
third and both ‘Hausen and Apperlous
scored.
The Inning was full of bad luck for
Atlanta, as Jim Fox was so badly hurt
In a collision with Perry that he will
be out of the game for several weeks.
Atlanta got only four hits off Ma-
larkey and never had a chance to score.
Harley pitched well exfept ittthethlrd.
The score:
Atlanta.

the members of the special committee
appointed to Investigate the prevailing
conditions.
The Investigation was brought t< i

The following-named places were
visited: ,
Quick McDaniel's, on Fair street;
Wotfshelmer'a, at Reynoldstown; tho
Sawtell Packing House, at Lakewood;
the Miller Union stock yards and
Bettis' slaughter house, bock of Clark

Without exception, the conditions
were found unsanitary at each of Urn
slaughter houses. ,
Chief Jentxen stated Friday, when
asked about the places, that "MeDnii-
lel's was In bad shape. The doors were
clean, but the surrounding conditions
were exceptionally had and tho odor
fpul."
About Wolfehelmer's place he said:
"It was In very good shapo compand
to the others.”
As to Hawtell's, Chief Jentxen said:
"Thle was the most modern plnnt we
lns|iected. They have access -to good
water, have a cooling room and a cold
storage room. In this respect they aro
alone, but the drainage was poor and
the place needed clennlng up.”
About the Miller Union packing
house he said: ‘‘It was In pretty good
shape, but like the others, thero was no
place to hang the meats.”
About Bettis' he said: “It was filthy.
It was as foul as It would be p s-imo
for s place to be made. It hnd tha
appearance of not having been cleaned

y EXPERIENCE
to a majority of our friends
has been a pretty expensive
acquisition. We have spent
considerable time and quite
a tew dollar! In getting our
experience. We have been
of that claaa of cltlxens who
are willing to try anything
once. If It was good we
tried It sgaln. If we had
taken the advice of people
who knew we would not
have gone to the trouble and
expense of getting experi
ence along certain lines.
We are going to give you
the benefit of our experience
with regard to classified ad
vertising In The Georgian.
We have tried these Inexpen
sive little ads and we know.
Others have tried them and
they know. If you try them
you will know that

What Inspection Will Do.
Inspector Jensen stated Friday that
although Atlanta could not build a
central slaughter house this year, In
spection would Improve the conditions
to a great extent and that already the
agitation of the question bad mads the
up their
places to some degree.
A good example of the efficiency of
spectlon Is shown 111 the dairies.
Ilk Inspector B. B. Watkins has in
spected 84 dairies within tho past two
weeks. Out of this number 81 have
"good" shape, 8 In "fairly good
shape" and only 1 In "bad" shape.
Last year between 6 and 12 cows
died of Texas fever In nenrly every
herd. This year there has been no
Texas fever because of the Improved
conditions. So the Inspection la a good
thing both for the public at large and
the operators.
