SAYS HIPPIE
1 CENT DIFFERENCE
IN PRICE OF COTTON
FIXED B Y PLANTERS
His Declaration About
Branded as
False.
Segal
Philadelphia, Sept. 8.—.More astound
ing than all the disclosures were the
revelation, today of the Jekyl and
Hyde existence of Frank K. Hippie, the
suicide president of the wrecked Real
Estate Trust Company, who, even In
his dying confession, ll4d when he
wrote "Segal got nil 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 has unearthed for
gertes by Hippie for more thhn a quar
ter of a million dollars and the end Is
not yet.
Forged Many Names.
Only a portion of the mass of docu
ments In Hippie's private safe In the
vault of the company have been ex
■ mined, 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,-
000 In some cases.
For live years this had been going
on, and Receiver Kurle stated today
that he had no Idea where Hippie's vil
lainy would end.
"H. Was Hypocrite.”
. "That man," he said, “was an arch
conspirator and a hypocrite of the bas
est. sort. The church, widows and or
phans, and those associates of his In
• church work were Ids victims, and
even Ills son, In my opinion, wna vic
timised In Ida fremled attempts to
amass 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, und
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."
Directors in Panio.
The directors are In a condition bor
dering on panic today. It la said their
offers of money to reorganise the com
pany are contingent on guarantees of
immunity from civil and criminal pros
ecutions.
District Attorney Bell, when shown a
written pledge of all the directors to
join In putting up $3,000,000, 1s reported
to have replied:
"t'nless these directors make good
the entire shortage, 17,000,000, I shall
go before the grand Jury and demand
their Indictment.”

‘•There’* a Rea»on"
Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. I.—That
nu cotton be sold during the present
year (or leas than 10 centa a pound,
waa the .recommendation made by the
executive committee of the Southern
Co'tton Association, In aesalon here.
Reaolutlona were adopted late yester-
day afternoon urging all members of
the association end producers of the
staple In the South to stick to this
minimum price.
The committee made no effort to
estimate the present crop, asserting
that It Is now In a slate of deteriora
tion. The members say, however, that
they are satisfied the current estimate
will not be reallsod. It Is understood
that when the tlxlng of the minimum
price was considered In executive ses
sion there were those who favored
standing out for 12 rents. The conser
vative element, however, stood for 10
rents and this was adopted.
Resolutions Adeptsd.
Following this action the committee
prepared reaolutlons In the shape of an
uddress to the public. These resolu
tions, signed by Waller Clark, chair
man; R 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 has
been great deterioration In the cotton
crop since August ID. and
"Whereas, The consensua of opinion
of the members of this committee Is
that the deterioration Is still going on,
we deem It unwise to make an esti
mate of the crop at this time. We are
satisfied that the crop will not be as
large as the current estimate.
Are Urgtd to Hold.
"We therefore suggest and urge upon
all our members and producers
throughout the South not to sell their
cotton at a figure less than the cost
of production.
"Owing to the high price of the coat
of living and scarcity of labor, we feel,

or any Immediate condition.

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 la sufficient evi
dence to prove that the union hoa not
placed the price too high.”
In three words 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 fixed by It.
From this It Is evident the union takes

BOOM IS STARTED
FOR HOKE SMITH
FOR PRESIDENCY ?
Indiana Man Says South
and West Want
Him.
Hoke Smith for the Democratic nom
ination for the presidency?
Is a boom for the Gebrgfa 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
■cent, 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 I,. Berner, Hoke Smith's law
partner, started u 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 nnme the man.
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 teatl
mony of General Mlchener Indicates
thnt Democrats throughout the South
and West are turning their eyes to
ward the governor-elect of the Empire
Stale of the South.

The Incident resulted In Internation

It all grew out of the surgeon diag

fever, the Inhabitants became highly
wrought up. Dr. Robertson was at

ONLY THIRTY DAYS
UNTIL STATE FAIR
WILL OPEN GATES
Exhibits Are Already Ar
riving at Piedmont
Park.
Thirty days from next Monday the
Georgia State Fair will open at Pied
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 Is a pretty
busy man these days. . As a matter of
fact, he hustles all the time, but along
towurd opening day for the fair he Is
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 lx felt that
William Jennlngx Bryan could not ar
range to come 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 bring
thousands' of ex-Georgians here, and
letters pouring Into Secretary Weldon
Indicate that they will come from al
most every state in the union. The
sll-dsy singing on October 11-12 will
prove ft neither drawing feature. Last
year It was one of the big hits of the
fair, and with two days this year sing
ers are expected from all over Georgia.
Amusement features will bo better
and of a higher class this year than
ever before. The Knabenshue sir 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 people will find the machine
which milks two cows at once quite
an Interesting novelty.
Evidently the "akldoo 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.

On Board Tug Mercury, at Sea, vln Stone
Wireless.—Marblehead, Mass., Kept. 8.—The
course for today's race for the Roosevelt
cup was a lx*nt to wiudward, east south
east, 3 miles and a run home repeating.
Total distance, 12 mile*. The wind was
dropping when the compass course was
signaled, and was not more than 6 mllne
an hour. There was a heavy roll to the
sen.
Th* yachts started at 11:10 a. m., and
crossed In the following order: Auk,
Glueckauf, Vim, Wannessee, Tilley, Ca-
ramba.
The Vim fouled the Caramba at the start
and withdrew from the race. The foul
occurred at the leeward end of the line. It
appeared to have been the fault of the Vim,
a* the yachts were on the port tack, nnd
came about Just under the lee ^»f the Ca
ramba.
The A«k took the lead Immediately, and
the Caramba went Into second place. The
wind continued right at’ the start, nnd
the boats all took the port tack nfter
starting.
Commodore Park, owner of the Vim, who
was on hoard the committee's tug, express
ed his regret that the foul bad occurred.
He said that his boat did not have suffi
cient way on to prevent her from touch
ing the Caramba, as she tacked 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, nnd now we
have evened things up, because. In my opin
ion. the Auk will win today’s race."
Should the Auk win the race, Monday's
contest will be a match between the boat
and the Vim for the Rooiievelt cup. If
either of the other four boats get fleet
place In today's contest, then the next
race will bo solely for the yachts thnt have
taken a race.

top-notch lull clulm of Tcxaa. A series
between them would he fine business.
The Chicago Culm and While Sox play
much the same game. Neither team has
heavy bitters, but both hava great l-ase
runners.
The next meeting of tha National Leagut
moguls will be a hammer, with the Pul
liam and Bruah factions lighting for con
trol.
One of the peculiar things of the pres
ent bnaeball season Is the number of clnlis
that have two or more players whose sur
names liegln with the same letter. Ami
whnt'a more, the majority of these rlotu
are the crackerjncks of their respective
leagues. It would look ns If the allitera
tive line-up Is the right one for the mana
ger who is out to land a winner:
The Chicago Nationals' salary list can-
t ft lna the names of Single, Scheckaril,
Sehultse nnd 8tclnfehlt.
Th* Chicago Amorlcans have ItflvM,
Dougherty, Donohue and Dnndon.
Tho New York Nattonala have Shan
non, Seymour, Smith and Strang; Bower-
man, Browne and Bresnnhnn; McUrnw, Me-
Glnnlty and McGann.
The New York Americans have Chens,
Conroy, Clarkson nnd Choshro.
The Buffalo team, leading the Hastens
Dengue, has Murray, McConnell, McManus,
Milligan and McAllister.
In the Birmingham club, leading th#
Southern League, are to lie found Moles-
worth, Montgomery, Meeka and Mnthe.ws.
Grand Rapids, standing number one In
the Central Dengue, has Gnnsel, IJroea-
chow nnd Goyer.
Portland, leading the I'aclfle Coast
Dengue, has Mellale, Mitchell, McCredle,
Moore nnd McDean.
Worcester, at the top of the New Eng
land Dengue, baa Burkett, Bradley and
Bnahey.
Camden, South Carolina Dengue pennant
wlnnera, has on Ita roster the names of
Wlnno, Wentherby, Wolf tad Well.
Rot ft Is evident that all teams can uot
win under this rule, as may be seen In
tha case of the Rt. I-on Is Nationals, with
Bennett, Beebe, Brown, Barry, Burch nn-1
Beekley. 1'erhaps, too many "suits'' Is X
hoodoo.
