HARVIE JORDAN REPLIES
TD CHARGES GRAVES MADE
President of the Southern Cotton Association Issues Red Hot
Card Anent Bucket Shop and
Other Wire Houses.
Harvie Jordan, president of
the Southern Cotton Association,
yesterday furnished The Consti¬
tution the following and request¬
ed its publication:
“The Hon. John Temple
Graves returned yesterday from
the sea coast and began at once
to sling mud over the editorial
pages of the Atlanta Georgian in
a thoroughly uncalled for tirade
of abuse and ungentlemanly in¬
sinuation because of a reply
which I wrote recently at the
request of the Atlanta Credit
Men’s Association* to an editor¬
ial in The Georgian indorsing
the gambling methods of local
cotton exchanges, and more par¬
ticularly the New York cotton
exchange. There was absolute¬
ly nothing in the article which
was prepared over my signature
that was in anywise offensive
to the editor of The Georgian,
unless it was found in the ex¬
posure of the position taken by
bis paper in an advocacy of
gambling in futures through the
present system of local wire
house*.
I expressed regret and surprise
that the editor of the Georgian,
who had been regarded as a
friend of the Southern Cotton
Association, especially during
fleeting though disappearing
career, as a candidate for politi¬
cal office, should allow the edi¬
torial columns of his paper to be
used in the advocacy of a great
evil which the lawabiding people
of Georgia were using every en¬
deavor to suppress. I used ar¬
guments in the defense of a bus¬
iness and moral proposition
which was entirely acceptable to
the Atlanta Credit Men’s Asso
pmfon ^nt| vyhjpl) flfey published
in pqmmptmh with* w toon
which they Btepafed, a»4 about
Which 1 knew absolutely nothing,
ami did not see until after it had
appeared in The Atlanta Journal.
The partoon is whftt septqed to
have especially riled the Hon.
John Temple, because it showed
him up as defending the gam¬
bling institutions of which his
two brother-in-law are managers.
But I didn’t prepare the cartoon,
Mr. Graves. You know the
Atlanta Credit Men’s Associa¬
tion were responsible for both
the article and the cartoon, but
you had only kind and compli¬
mentary wprds for them. \y hv?

house. When \ arrived at this
meeting the members of that
assooiation were discussing an
editorial which had that after¬
noon appeared in The Georgian,
strongly indorsing and advocat
ing the local cotton exchanges
in Atlanta as legitimate institu
tions and also the methods of the
New York cotton exchange.
After a short discussion by the
mtop ypfe'd it m Wimppsly

break up gambling m futures in

in question should be
with gloves off. A committee

prepare and publish the reply

to assist the committee the' article. ip the

or apologies to make to you or
anyone else for the part I played.
“Nothing was said about a
cartoon. I left the city that
night and went down to my plan*
tation in Jasper county, where I
remained several days. While
at home in the country the next
day, 1 wrote the article at which
you have taken so much offense
and mailed it back to the Credit
Men’s Association with the re¬
quest to use such parts of it as
they saw tit in the final prepara¬
tion of the article they wanted
to publish. That closed my con¬
nection w ith the incident. Three
days later I received a copy of
The Atlanta Journal containing
not only the full article which I
had prepared, but also the car¬
toon which seems to have given
you such a severe case of indi¬
gestion.
“The Atlanta Credit Men’s
Association is alone responsible
for the cat toon, which presented
you in such bad light before the
public and for the article which
1 wrote, both of which say wil¬
lingly stand sponsor for.
“With a know lege of these
facts, if you have any manhood
you should at once withdraw
the dirty and contemptible lan¬
guage used in your editorial of
yesterday and direct it at the
Atlanta Credit Men’s Associa¬
tion. It is unfortunate for you
and your paper that you
should have used such strong
intemperate language unwitting¬

AGENT HELD
FDR BRUTALITY
Russian Turpentine Operator
Tells Tale of Torture.
Guarded by Giant Negroes, He Says
He Was Forced to Work in Noisome
Pools. New York Employing Agent
Is Held.
New York, July 27.—For the
first, time in his long experience.
United States Commissioner
Shields was called on today to
pass upon the crime of peonage
or the keeping of a human being
in a condition of practical slav¬
ery, because of alleged debt.
The accused is S. H. Schwartz,
who conducts an employment
agency here, and it is charged
that he waB responsible for the
peonage of Benjamin Wilenski.a
Russian 50 years of age.
' The tale told by Wilenski is
one of alleged hardship and cru¬
elty in the turpentine camps of
Florida, where, guarded by giant
negroes, lie says he was forced to
work knee-deep in stagnant wa¬
ter, beaten and hals-starved and
finally deprived of all his earn¬
ings.
All of this the employment
agent denied, so far as he is con¬
cerned, claiming that his respon¬
sibility ended with hie employ¬
ment of the men and their
shipment to Florida.
When arraigned Schwartz pro¬
duced three orders for 160 men.
The orders were written on the
letter heads of “The Italian
American Agriculture Associa¬
tion” of Fifth avenue. The orders
called for Italian and German
men, and promised wages of .$1.40
and $1.50 per day, payable fort¬
nightly for work in lumber camps.
The order blanks of Schwartz
gave Bishop Bonaventure F.
Broderick, of Staatsburg-on-thp
Hudson, as fl^ employer-.
Schwarts was held in $4,000
bail for further examination.

HIS WIFE DEAD
Mrs. Charles McElroy Dies Dur*
ing Night by Her Hus¬
band’s Side.
Macon, Ga., July 27.—When
Charley B. McElroy reached
arms his bed ai o ,t 2 o’clock this
morning to wake his wife to assist
him in securing quiet for their in¬
fant, who had been crying, he
found her dead. She had retired
during the early part of the night
in good health, and there was
every evidence of happiness and
good spirits. She was cold in the
eternal sleep when her lifetnate
sought her assistance in quieting
the little one.
Mrs. McElroy was a young wo¬
man, and the couple had been
married about two years. Her
husband is a clerk in the Macon
postoffice. Both have many
friends. They resided on Forsyth
street. The body will be shipped
to Brunswick for the funeral and
interment. Mrt McElroy catne
from that place, and was reared
there.
Her health since coming to Ma¬
con has always been considered
ideal, and there was nothing to
warn either husband or wife of
the sudden death. Heart failure
was the cause.
