"After clearing up the affairs of this once magnificent financial Institution, which this hypocrite wrecked, the searchllght of Investigation will be turned upon Hippie's private life, and what we have already gathered leaves no doubt In my mind that he will be found to be us degraded as were his business methods," Directors In Panic. The directors are In a condition bor dering on panic today.

It will be noted that while In Its first charge the report ndopted dismisses the charges agBlnat Secretary Cheatham as unworthy of further consideration, the next clause It provides that "In thel future It shall constitute an offense against this association for any officer or member of the executive committee or state officer In any way to deal In futures, and anyone violating this shall be expelled from office." Waller Clark, of Mississippi, pre sented a resolution Instructing the president of the association to confer with counsel looking Into an Investiga tion of the cotton exchanges of the country and especially the New York cotton exchange In order to determine whether or not the system of business employed In said exchanges, and with especial reference to the New York ex change, are not violative of the federal laws and the laws of the state where located." The resolution was adopted. 1 CENT DIFFERENCE IN PRICE OF COTTON FIXED B Y PLANTERS Southern Cotton Association Says Ten Cents Is Proper Figure—Farmers’ Union “Stands Pat” on 11 Cents. There Is a difference of just one cent In the minimum price of .cot ton fixed by the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association. In session at Hot Springs, Ark., and that flxed by the National Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union, which Is meeting at Texarkana, Ark. The cotton association has declared for 10 cents; the Farmers’ Union thinks 11 cents Is the proper price. The executive committee of the cotton association adopted resolu tions asserting that the cotton crop is In a state of deterioration and that It will not be as great as the current estimate. The committee urges all producers of cotton not to sell the staple at a figure leas than the price of production. Membera of the Farmers' Union declare they will stand pat for 11 cents. 10 CENTS FIXED AS COTTON PRICE Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. $.—That no cotton be sold during th* present year for less than 10 cents a pound, was the recommendation made by the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Aseodatlon, In seselon here. Resolutions were adopted late yester day afternoon urging all members of the' association and producers of the staple In the South to stick to this minimum prlee. The committee made no effort to estimate the present crop, asserting that it Is now In a state of deteriora tion. The members say, however, that they are satisfied the current estimate II not be realised, it Is understood that when the Axing of the minimum price was considered In executive ses sion there were those who favored standing out for 12 cents. The conser vative element, however, stood for 10 cents and this was adopted. Resolution* Adopted. Following this action the committee prepared resolution* In the shape of an addrees to the public. These resolu tions, signed by Walter Clark, chair man; E. D. Smith, J. A. Brown, J. C. Hickey and F. A. Maxwell, follow: "inasmuch as we, the cotton grow ers of the South, know that'there haa been great deterioration In the cotton crop since August 16, and “Whereas, The consensus of opinion of the members of this committee Is that the deterioration Is still going on, wo deem It unwise to make an esti mate of the crop at Hit* time. We are satisfied that the crop will not be as large a* the current estimate. Are Urged to Hold. “We therefore suggest and urge upon our members and producers throughout the South not to sell their cotton at a Agure leas than the cost of production. “Owing to the high price of the cost of living and scarcity of labor, we feel. In order for the farmer who raises cot ton to live, feed and clothe himself and family and set aside a small'pittance for the improvement of his farm. It Is necessary that cotton should riot be sold below the bread and meat line, which Is 10 cents. In Axing 10 cents per pound as the limit below which It should not be eold, we have no reference to the crop or any Immediate condition. "Market 8lowly.” We call upon all Southern Interests to aid In maintaining for all time this all FARMERS’ UNION WILL STAND PAT Texarkana, Ark., Sept. 8.—"We will stick for 11 cents, The deterioration of the general condition of cotton during the last two weeks Is sufficient evi dence to prove that the union has not placed the price too high.” ' In theae word* President Duck worth, of the National Farmers’ Edu cational and Co-operative Union, which Is In session here, announced, that the union will stand pat on the minimum price for cotton Axed by It. From thla It Is evident the union takes Issue with the Southern Cotton Asso ciation’s executive commlttoe, which, during Its session yesterday afternoon at Hot Springs, declared for a mini mum Agure of 10 cents. Warehouse Plan Considered. The present session of the conven- tlon of the union has been replete with Interest and Importance. It Is expected that adjournment will be taken tonight.

BOOM IS STARTED FOR HOKE SMITH FOR PRESIDENCY ? Indiana Man Says South and West Want Him. u n price as a minimum.

SURGEON Well Fed Well Bred You can pick a steady user of Grape-Nuts "There's a Reason" New* Orleans, Sept. 8,—Dr. Walter Robertson, assistant surgeon of the United States marine hospital service, elalloned at I-acelba, Honduras, had a narrow escape from lynching at the hands of the people of that town, and as a result of his experience Is a nerv ous wreck. The Incident resulted In Internation al correspondence, port of which con sisted of a message from Washington to the president of Honduras that Honduras would be held responsible for the life of the surgeon. It all grew out of the surgeon diag nosing a case of yellow fever at I-ncet- ha. which had heretofore been Immune. When the laicelba board of health declared the casea were not yellow fever, the Inhabitants became highly wrought up. Dr. Robertson was at tacked violently by the local newspa per;! and received anonymous tellers threatening him with death. American Consul Wood was absent from Lacelba. but Dr. Virgil Reynolds, the vice coneul, who agreed with Dr. Robertson’* dlagnosle, determined to protect the surgeon. He called on the commandant, but Ucnerul Padilla de clared he could not guarantee l”r. Itobertson protection. Reynolds then organised a guard of Afty Americans, who took turns In pa trolling the consulate nlglit and day. Dr. Robertson was practically a pris oner In the coneul’* home for two weeks.

Hoke Smith for the Democratic nom (nation for the presidency? Is a boom for the Georgia man, who recently swept the state for governor, gathering form and substance through the South and West? General Louis T. Mlchener, former attorney general of Indiana, and a Re publican, believes so. In the New York Sun of Friday the following dispatch appears under a Washington date line: Washington, Sept. 8.—General Louis T. Mlchener, former attorney general of Indiana, who has a keen political scent, expressed the opinion today, af ter a Journey through the South and West, that Hoke Smith would probably become a popular candidate for the Democratic nomination for president If he succeeded in winning the governor ship In Georgia (which he did). Gen eral Mlchener ie a Republican, but paid a high compliment to Hoke Smith. At the Macon convention Colonel Robert L. Berner, Hoke Smith’s law partner, started a storm of cheering by practically placing Mr. Smith forward as the South’s candidate for the presi dency, when the time was ripe for this section to name the man. Mr. Smlth’a overwhelming victory In Georgia and hla great Aght on a reform platform has made him a potential Ag- ure throughout the union. The testi mony of General Mlchener Indicates that Democrats throughout the South and West are turning their eyes to ward the governor-elect of the Empiie State of the South. vote cm DID II RESULTS IRE HICED FOR JESUITS IS.ACERMAN Father Wemz, Choice of Kaiser, General - of the Order.
