THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. SATURDAY. 8F.PTKMBER 8. 19**. 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.” Southern- Cotton Association Sjys Ten Cents Is Proper Figure—Farmers’ Union “Stands Pat” on 11 Cents.

Well Fed Well Bred You can pick a steady user of Grape-Nuts ‘•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, In order for the farmer who raises cot ton to live, feed and clothe himself und faintly and aet liable a amnll pittance for the Improvement of his fnrm, It Is necessary that cotton should not be sold below the bread and meat line, which la 10 centa. "In fixing 10 centa per pound as the limit below which It should not be sold, 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 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 Issue with the Southern Cotton Asso ciation's executive committee, which, during Its session yesterday afternoon at Hot Springs, declared for a mini mum figure of 10 cents. Warehouse Plan Considered. The present session of the conven tion of the union has been replete with Interest and lmporfance. It Is expected that adjournment will be taken tonight.

The union has fixed a minimum price of $15 a Ion for cotton seed. The price Is to obtain throughout the entire cotton belt.

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. “BUCK POPE” FOR JESUITS IS AJERMAN Father Wernz, Choice of Kaiser, General of the Order.

"We appreciate and thank the press for the valued service of tile past and urge those Interests of the South to as sist In every manner possible to main tain this minimum price. "We appreciate nnd llmnk the'mer chants and bankers for the noble man ner In which they have stood by the farmers In the past and urga a contin uation of their co-operation and sup port."

The Incident resulted In Internation al C4»rrc*pondence, part of which ©on- sisted of a message from Washington to the president of Honduras that Honduran would he held responsible for the life of th© surgeon. It all grew out of the surgeon diag nosing a case of yellow fever at !«acet- ha. which had heretofore been Immune. When the t^icelba board of health declared the cases were not yellow fever, the Inhabitants became highly wrought up. Dr. Robertson was at tacked violently by the local newspa pers and received anonymous letters threatening him with death. American Consul Wood was absent from Tuicelha, but Dr. Virgil Reynolds, the vice consul, who agreed with Dr. Robertson’* diagnosis, determined to protect the surgeon. He called on the commandant, but General Padilla de clared he could not guarantee fir. Robertson protection. Reynolds theu organised a guard of fifty Americans, who took turns In pa trolling the consulate night and day. Dr. Robertson was practically a pris oner In the consul's home for two weeks.

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. INVENTOR IS SLAIN BY OWN EXPLOSIVE NO. 1559.

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. CHUNKS OF DOPE.

DIXIE FIGHTER DIES IN ENGLAND London, Sept. 8.—John Low, who rax chief officer of the Confederate privateer Alabama, died at Liverpool yesterday, aged 71 years. Although his reckless daring gained for him the nickname of "Devil of the Alabama,' he waa ktndhearted and courteous. He won the affection of many of the pas sengers of ahtpa taken by the priva teer. When he quit the aea he went Into business - and became director of a steam tug company. He waa a fa miliar figure at,the shipping exchange and was prominent In connection with seamens' charities. The St. Louis Nationals are finishing farther down the ladder each aeaaoa. It li up to Manager McCloskey to get a few players together for next reason. Tho Boston Anierleana will hove the pick of tho Worcester New England Dengue team. Two aofe lieta In the American 'Arum-la- tlon arc thnt Columbus .will finish first and Indianapolis last. ’ Fort Worth and Austin hare the two 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.
