THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER *. 15K.
His Declaration About
Branded as
False.
Philadelphia, Sept. 8.—More antmiwl
Ins than all the disclosures ware the
revelations today of the JeXyl ahd
Hyde exletence of Frank IC. Hippie, the
suicide president of the wrecked Real
Estate Trust Company, who, even In
his dying confession, lied when he
wrote “Segal got all the money."
Hippie stole millions from the bank
before he met Adolph Segal, the pro
moter of wild cat schemes, and the In
vestlgatlon today bos unearthed for
geries by Hippie for more than a quar
ter of a million dollars and the end Is
not yet. w
Forged Many Names.
Only a portion of the moss of doeu
merits In Hippie’s private safe In the
vault of the company have been ex
amined, but they show that he had met
his Immense overdrafts by forging the
names of prominent business men of
this city to notes for more than (200,-
00'i In some cases.
For live years this had been going
on, and Receiver Earle stated today
that he had no Idea where Hippie's vil
lainy would end.
“He Was Hypocrite.”
“That man," he said, "was an arch
conspirator and a hypocrite of the has
est sort. The church, widows and or.
phans, and those associates of his In
1 church work were his victims, and
even his eon. In my opinion, was vic
timised In his frensled attempts to
a mass a fortune at the expense of those
who put him In his position of trust
and honor.
•'After clearing UP the affairs of this
once magnificent financial Institution,
which this hypocrite wrecked, the
searchlight 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 as degraded as were his
business methods.”

The directors are In a condition bor

An Offense in the Future.
It will be noted that while In Us first

charges against Secretary Cheatham as
unworthy of further consideration. In

Walter Clark, of Mississippi, pre

1 CENT DIFFERENCE
IN PRICE OF COTTON
FIXED BY PLANTERS
Southern Cotton Association Says Ten Cents
is Proper Figure—Farmers’ Union
“Stands Pat” on 11 Cents.
There Is a difference of just on* 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 fixed by the National Fanners'
Educational and Co-operative Union, which la 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 I* 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 lass than the price of
production. Members of the Farmers' Union declare they wljl stand pat for
11 cents.
W CENTS FIXED
AS COTTON PRICE
Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. 8.—That
no cotton be sold during the present
year for less than 10 cents a pound,
was the recommendation made by the
executive committee of the Southern
Cotton Association, In session here.
Resolutions were adopted late yester
day afternoon urging all members of
th* association and producers of the
staple In the South to stick to this
minimum price.
The commutes mad* no effort to
estimate the present crop, asserting
FARMERS’ UNION
WILL STAND PAT
that It Is now In a state of deteriora
tion. Th* members say, however, that
they are satisfied the current estimate
will not be realised. It Is understood
that when the fixing 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.
Resolutions Adoptsd.
Following this action the committee
prepared resolutions In the shape of an
address 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-’
ere of the South, know that there has
been great deterioration In the cotton
crop since August IS, and
Whereas, The consensus of opinion
of the members of thla committee Is
that the deterioration Is atlll going on,
we deem It unwise to make an esti
mate of the crop at tills time. . We are
satisfied that the crop will not be as
large as the current estimate.
Are Urged to Hold.
We therefore suggest and urge upon
all our members and producers
throughout the' South not to sell their
cotton at a figure leas than the cost
of production.
"Owing to the high price of the cost
of living and scarcity of labor, we feci,
In order for the fanner 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 not be
sold below the bread and meat line,
which Is 10 cents.
In fixing 10 eonts per pound as the
limit below which It should nut be
sold, we have no reference to the crop
or any Immediate condition.
“Market Slowly,"
•We call upon all Southern Interests
aid In maintaining for all time thla
Texarkana, Ark., Sept. 8.—“We will
stick for 11 cent*. The deterioration of
the general condition of cotton /luring
the last two weeks Is sufficient evi
dence to prove that the union haa not
placed ihe price too high."
In these words President Duck
worth, of the National Fanners' Edu
cational and Co-operative Union,
which Is In session here, announced
that the union will stand pat on the
minimum price for cotton fixed by it,
From this It Is evident the union takes
Issue with tho Southern Cotton Asso
ciation’s executive committee, which,
during Its session yesterday afternoon
at Hot Springs, declared for a mini
mum figure of io cents.
Warehouse Plan Considered.
Tho present session of the conven
tion of the union has been replete with
Interest and Importance. It la expected
that adjournment will be taken tonight.
The session yesterday afternoon was
occupied largely with addresses and
discussions of topics of vital Interest
to the delegates who represent n large
membership. The cotton warehouse
plan came In for considerable con
sideration by various speakers.
Among the speakers was H. N.
Gaines, of Topeka, Kans., editor of The
Advance. His address touched upon
general matters.
Cotton 8*«d Pries Fixtd,
The draft of the proposed new con
stitution has been mads and Is being
considered In detail. The union has
fixed a minimum price of |16 a ton
for cotton seed. The price Is to obtain
throughout the entire cotton belt.
Much Interest Is being manlfeeted In
the election of officers, which la sched
uled to take place today after certain
Important other business matters have
been disposed of.

price as a minimum. We urge the ne-
ceeslty of marketing the rrop alowly
and only on an advancing market, and
withdraw all cotton from the market at
every decline.
"We appreciate and thank the press

Hoke Smith for the Democratic nom
ination 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. 6.—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 Is 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
prartlcally placing Mr. Smith forward
as the South's candidate for the presi
dency, when the time was ripe for this
section to name the mao.
Mr. Smith's overwhelming victory In
Georgia and his great fight on a reform
platform has made him a potential fig
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 Empite
State of the South.

■ The Incident resulted In Internation
al correspondence, part of which con
sisted of a message from Washington
to (lie president of Honduras thut
Honduras would be held responsible
for the life of the surgeon.
It all grew out of the surgeon diag
nosing o ease of yellow fever at Lncel-
l>a. which had heretofore been Immune.
When the l.aoelba board of health
declared the eases were not yellow
fever, the Inhabitants became highly
wrought up. Dr. Robertson was at -
tacked violently by the local newspa
pers and received anonymuus letters
threatening him with death.
American Consul Wood was absent
from Lacelba, but l)r. Virgil Reynolds,
the vice consul, who agreed with Dr.
Robertson's diagnosis, determined to
protect the surgeon. He called on the
commandant, but General Padilla de
clared he eoultl not guarantee l7r.
Robertson protection.
Reynolds then organised a guard of
fifty Americans, who took turns In pa
trolling the consulate night and day.
Dr. Robertson was practically a prls
oner In the consul's home for iwi
weeks.

This Institution will begin It* Blxty-
fourth session next Tuesday morning
at i* o’clock. Opening exercise* will be
held In the t’ollege chapel, for which
an Interesting program has been ar
ranged. A full college orchestra will
furnish music, and several addresses
will be made. To these exercises th$
public Is cordially invited.
At the college the work of repairing,
renovating and Improving has been
going on all summer, ami the magnifi
cent building nnd spacious campus are
In readiness to receive the students
nnd visitors. Several new teachers
have been added to the faculty for this
session, nnd a full attendance of stu
dents hn* been registered. Indication*
are that this will be one of the best
rf the many good years of thla noted
college.
ONLY THIRTY DAYS
UNTIL STATE FAIR
WILL OPEN GATES
Exhibits Are' Already Ar
riving at Piedmont
Park.
Thirty tlaya from next Monday the
Georgia State Fair will open at Pl*d
mont park, the dates being from Octo
ber 10 to 20.
From now on there will be a fever
of activity at the grounds and In the
buildings, getting everything In shape
for opening day. Work has already
commenced on the grounds and re
pairs on the buildings. Some (2,000
will be spent In making everything
shipshape.
Secretary Frank Weldon la a pretty
busy man these days. As a matter of
fact, he hustles all the time, but along
toward opening day for the fair* he la
a veritable volcano of action.
One car load of machinery has al
ready reached the fair grounds from
Wisconsin, and Falrbanks-Morse Com
pany, of Chicago, have shipped. Ship
ments will be coming In dally from
now on, and within a short time a small
army of exhibitors will be at work out
at Piedmont.
General disappointment Is felt that
William Jennings Bryan could not ar
range to como here while the fair was
In progress, as the presence of the Ne
braskan would have brought an enor
mous crowd to the city.
"Home coming week," beginning on
the opening day, Is expected to brim
thousands of ex-Georgians here, an.
letters pouring Into Secretary Weldon
Indicate that they will come from al
most every state In the union. The
all-day singing on October 11-12 will
prove another drawing feature. Last
year It was one of the til* hits of the
fair, and with two days this year sing
ers are expected from all over Georgia.
Amusement features will be better
anil of a higher class this year than
ever before. The Knabenshue air ship
will prove a winning feature. The two
Filipino midgets will create a sensa
tion here Just as they did at St. Louis
and more recently at Coney Island.
Most peuple will find the machine
which milks two cows at once quite
an Interesting novelty.
Evidently the "skldoo hat" and Ice
cream cone privileges are good things,
from the number of people seeking the
right to sell on the grounds. Secretary
Weldon Is very much pleased at the,
outlook for a fine class of exhibits and
large attendance.

FOR |AST VIM
MIXES UP WITH CARAMBA AND
DROP8 OUT OP SAT
URDAYS RACE.
On Board Tug Mercury, at Sen, via Stone
Wireless.—Marblehead, Mass., Sept. 8.—The
course for today's race for the Roosevelt
cup was a beat to windward, east south
east, 3 miles nnd a run home repeating.
Total distance, 12 miles. The wind was
dropping wheu the compass course was
signaled, and was not more than 4 rallse
an hour. There was a heavy roll to the
•a.
The yachts started at 11:10 a. in., and
crossed In the following order: Auk,
Gluecknuf, Vim, Wnnnessee, Tilley, Ca-
rnniba.
The Vim fouled the Cnrartibn at the start
and withdrew from the race. The foul
occurred at the leeward cad of the line. It
appeared to have been the fault of the Vim,
as the yachts were on the port tack, and
came about Just under the lee of the Ca-
rumba.
The Auk took the lend Immediately, and
the Carambn went Into second place. The
wind continued right, at the start, and
the boats all took tne port tack after
starting.
Commodore Park, owner of the Vim, who
was on board the committee's tug, express
ed his regret that the foul bad occurred.
He said that his boat did not hnve suffi
cient way on to prevent her from touch
Ing the Carnmba, ns she tncked under the
lee of the latter boat.
•It Is the fortune of war," said Commo
dore Park. “We won a race from the Auk
because the latter fouled us, and now we
have evened things up, tweause. In my opin
ion, the Auk will win today's race.”
8hould the Auk win the race, Monday's
contest will be a mstch between the boat
and the Vim for the Roosevelt cnp.
either of the other four boats get first
place In today's contest, then the next
race will be solely for the yachts that have
tsken a race.
