Special to The Georgian. Warm Springs, Os., July If.—William Travers Jerome, district attorney of New Tork and the guest of the Georgia Bar Association, la without doubt the feature of the convention now In aes- alon here. He haa met practically every visitor and with a majority ffif tham haa talked and exchanged Ideas. Every where Mr. Jerome Is the subject of conversation. There are aome things Mr. Jerome will not talk about—that la, he will only touch on them lightly and unoffi cially. The Thaw caae la one of these, and New Tork polities, both stato am city, la another. There are many things, however, which have greatly agitated the public In the last few monlhe on which the dlalrlct attorney has very decided and Intersstlng views.’ It Is generally euppoaed that Pres! dent Booaevelt started the “muck rake” talk. This Is a mistake. The ad drest of the president was made about the middle of April. On March 21, lfOf, the original muck-rake speech was made by. Mr. Jerome before a small company composed of hie college fra ternlty. This speech was wldsly com' mented upon by the Eastern papers. Assents to an Intsrvlsw.

Augusta, Go., July U.—The city elec tion yesterday resulted In the election of Captain William M. Dunbar, to the office of mayor, for the term beginning the Brat of January, 1(0?. The oppon ent to Judge Dunbar was Captain W. B. Young, who waa defeated by a majority of SOI. Both of the candidates had put up a hard flfht, and even Judge Dunbar did not expect to get the majority that he received. His supporters were looking for about 100 majority, and when the landslide went his way, his friends were overcome. The election resulted as follows In the different wards: First ward, Dunbar III, Young ISO second ward, Dunbar SOI, Young 412. Third ward, Dunbar 242. Young 221. Fourth ward, Dunbar ITS. Young 140. Fifth ward, Dunbar 014, Young 4SI. The total majority for Dunbar was SOI, which Is the biggest majority that haa been received by any candidate for mayor In yearn. There were many minor lights dur ing tho day, but none of them resulted In much damage to the participants. W. A. Mattlaon, one of Captain Young’s supporters In the Fifth ward, was arrested soon In the morning for alleged vote-buying, but he gave bond and continued with hie work.

Walter Ormond was one of the best known young men of Atlanta. He Bad lived In this city all of hit life, with the exception of two years spent in Chicago, and because of hla sociable nature on the one hand and hla promi nence as a member of the'bar on the other wae known personally or by rep utation to'every one In this city. He was the center of a coterie of prominent young Atlantans, members of the Atlanta Athletic Club, who were practically Inseparable during their leisure hours. One of these was Har vey Hill, eon of Solicitor Charles D. Hill, and a member of the law firm of Arnold A Arnold. Judge Ormond waa 40 years of age. He W&I the oldest son of Mrs. Flor ence Ormond, waa a great-nephew of the late Judge Marahall J. Clarke, of Atlanta, and a grandson of Sidney Root, one of Atlanta’s pioneer cltlxena, and In his day one of the wealthiest land owners In this city. Hla coualn, Sidney Root, the younger, was conald ered one of the greatest architects of the country, being superintendent of design of the world's fair at Chicago, In 18(2. Judge Ormond leaves his mother, tw sisters, Mrs. Hinton Hopkins and Miss Alice Ormond, of thl* city, and one brother, Sidney J. Ormond, managing editor of The Natches (Mlaa.) Demo crat The latter waa at one time city editor of The Atlanta Constitution. Studied Under Judge Clarke. When nothing more than a boy, Judge Ormond began the study of law under Ills distinguished uncle, Judge Marshall Clarke. 11s was admitted to the Atlanta bar In 18(2. lie then en tered Judge Clarke'e law office and re mnlned with him until that Jurist’s death In 18(8. Shortly after that he and Reynolds Tlchenor opened an of flee In the Equitable building and re matned together until 1(08, when he was appointed Justice of the peace of the 1234th militia district, succeeding Waller Venable. Hla court haa been held up as model In manner of keeping records and handling of eaaea, and whereas It haa been for two years the custom of every grand jury to flay the system of Justices’ courts In this county, elite exception In the arraignment always been made of Judge Ormond’s court. A Noted Raconteur, Judge Ormond possessed a highly de veloped sense of humor, one of his most notable characteristics. He not only could tell a story Inimitably, but appreciated the humorous. His court situated In Decatur street, naturally had to liandlo many funny casea, 'prin cipally from negroes, and .Judge Or mond's stories of unique Incidents were famous throughout the state. They furnished many columns for the news papers. and none enjoyed them more than tha Judge himself. He wae a well equipped lawyer, a sound business man and one whose In tegrity was proverbial. He waa one of the charier members of the Atlanta Athletic Club, and ever since Its founding has been conspicu ous In Its management. He served one term bn the city park board.'

Alexander, of DeKalb, and Anderson, of Chatham, held the legli- lalatlva boards Thursday morning, pro and con, on.the Boykin afid Anderson substitutes for tho Boykin anti-bucket shop bill. Both were considerably Interrupted. Mr. Anderson spoke more at length than Mr. Alexander, and held the floor till the hour of adjournment. Close attention waa given to each of the advocates, and unless there Is an oversupply of bottled-up oratory not In light, the, chances are that a vote on the Dill will be had at the afternoon aeaalon. The Indications are that tha Boykin aubatltute will pass. It prevents all dealings In futures, the Anderson substitute excepting le gitimate houses. Ths Discussion Starts. The ling discussion of the measure was provoked by the motion of Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, that the house resolve Itself In the committee of the whole. Mr. Mitchell, of Thomas, moved to commit with Instructions to the com mittee of the whole to report tho bill In G minutes, and stated that he made thle motion that they might dlscusS*the proposal of Mr. Anderson, a plain mo tion to commit not being debatable. Mr. Hale thought resolving Into the committee of the whole was a useless waste of lime, and meant an Intermin able debate; that the measure was one of great Importance, and ought to be considered. Mr. Mitchell thought this would be useless consumatlon of time, and was Inclined to regard the motion aa an effort to delay or defeat the bill. Mr. Anderson said that the gentle man from Thomas was emphatically mistaken upon that score, and later he assured Mr. Hilt that hla motion waa not made to delay, and he, too, had a substitute to offer to the bill, oa did Mr. Boykin. Mr. Felder thought every member waa Interested In the bill, and a Anal discussion should be had on both sides of It Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, aald the measure affected very Important Inter ests of the state, and the fullest dis cussion should be had. Mr. Wright said with the bill In the commltee of the whole there waa no telling when a vote could be had If in this committee, aa the previous ques tion could not be called. The house thins out on Friday, nnd the bill would be Jeopardised If not passer] upon to duy. A colloquy between Messrs.

The man, who was dressed in expensive clothing, had absolutely nothing In his pockets but a card bear ing the name of Sauer, his address aryl the address of an office he had at No. 495 North Third street, Philadelphia.

We have put our hands In their pockets and shared In these Viholy gains. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, followed In defense of his substitute, declaring that the whole cotton trade of the atate thought It was Imperiled by this bill. He advised conservatism In legislation of this kind. He proposed to submit cold, solid facts. There Is need of leg islation to abolish bucket shops, but there le ho need lo pass a law that would hamper and Interfere with legiti mate businesses In this state. In re ply to Mr. Hall, he affirmed that this was the first time the law had de fined what a bucket shop was. Re plying to Mr. Wright, of Floyd, If the tentleman from Chatham knew of a >ucket shop In Georgia, “The gentle man knowe of several” he replied, vote of 48 to 81. The Two Substitutes. Mr. Boykin offered a aubatltute to his own bill, and Mr. Anderson' also of fered a aubatltute to the bill and aev eral amendments were likewise offered. The real teat was between the Boykin substitute and the Anderson substitute. The only material change In the orl glnal bill provided by the Boykin sub atltute Is the elimination of section 4, which provided that any peraon with in this state who shall become a party to any such contract made In another state, or who shall aid while In thle elate In furthering suctr a contract In another elate, shall be guilty of a mis demeanor. Mr. Anderson’s aubatltute aimed to put the “bucket shop” out, hut not to do away with tha ao-caUed legitimate exchange. , Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb, said that the supreme court had long ago de clared these transactions gambling, und non-enforcable In the courts. This legislation proposes to prohibit by criminal statute these gambling trans actions. Both substitutes had that end In view. Certain Important Interests behind the Boykin aubatltute think the transactions are undermining the In tegrity of Ihe state. Certain other Im portant Interests behind the Anderson substitute think that there should not be a total prohibition of these traneac-* (Ions, but that certain deallngi ahould be permitted. Mr. Longley, of Troup, wanted ti know that If the mill men bought cot ton for future delivery, If they would come under Its operation. Very fre quently, he said, they sold their prod ucta as far as ten months ahead for future delivery. "Will Not Affect Mill Purehaeee." The blir. replied Mr. Alexander, would not affect any bona tide sale, even though foV future delivery. It was at first proposed to eliminate those who engaged In "hedging,” but It was the purpose to prohibit such transac tions altogether. * Mr. Nolan inqlred If the bill would irevent a party from dealing with, for nstance, the Alabama exchange. Mr. Alexander eald It would not. Mr. Hall Inquired If It would prevent a party here from putting an order In New York under the bill. It would not," replied Mr. Alexan' der. Then read your bill," retorted Mr. Hall. Mr. Alexander explained that It pre- ented these exchanges from operating here In the state either by eome mem bership thereof, an agent or corres pondent. Mr. Hall thought that parties who bought farmers’ cotton crops early In the season, and could not go on these exchanges and "hedge,” could not In the future buy these crops of the farm ers ns heretofore. The opening up of an office was onlp prlma facie evidence aa provided In section (. and only puts the burden on the accused party. Same Effect ae Gambling Law.

Where there le one bona fide transaction on the great exchanges of New York, New Orleans and Chica go, there are thousand, made through the bucket shops. He read from Dr. Broughton a very fierce denunciation of the bucket shop. Mr. Anderson said that In these bucket shops you had about aa much chance for your money ae If you flipped up on the turn of a coin. Replying to a question of Mr. Hall, If Savannah waa not now the third cot ton market In the world, and what ef fect the passage of the Boykin substi tute would have on that city aa a cot ton port, he asserted that now they ex port a million and three-quarter bales of cotton, and thsre waa not an ex porter there but that would be ham pered and hurt If this Boykin substitute passed. Mr. Longley asked how they would be hampered, which he promised to ex plain later In the course of hla remarks. Refuting the argument that the atate was being ruined by theae transactions, he cited the (47,000,000 Increase In the tax returns last year, and the probable additional Increase from forty to fifty millions this year. Under thle bill as It now stands everybody Is prevented from "hedging.” The line of demarca tion la cleatfy drawn between these two subetltutes. The Boykin blit pre vents every transaction on margin. Mine prevents legitimate transactions and forbids only those that are lllegltl mate. He Hated tljat he waa Informed that lawyers representing the Atlanta Credit Men's Association had drawn the Boy kin substitute. This brought Mr. Boy kin to hla feet In a Jiffy, with the state ment that every principle In this sub atltute was in the original bill; that Mr. Harvle Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association, Mr. Richard Cheatham of the Credit Men's Association, himself and several friends of the measure had conferred and agreed on this aubatltute measure. Buokst Shops and Exchanges "There Is a wide fundamental differ ence,” continued Mr. Anderson, "be tween bucket shops and bucket shop ping on ths one hand and the legiti mate exchanges on the other. The latter have had to bear tha brunt of the attacks on the others. He read a letter from Mr. Kincaid of the Griffin mills to Mr. Malcolm Maclean, of Savannah, that he had for three montha been supporting the Anderson bucket shop bill, to show that the gentlemen now urging the Boykin substitute did not know what they wanted. Even the gentleman from DeKalb, Mr. Alexan der, admitted he did not know what ‘hedging” meant. The aim and purpose of the legiti mate house* are that their contracts shall be executed; the aim and purpose of the bucket shop Is that they shall never be executed. He read the rule of the New Orleans exchange prohibit ing any of Its members from dealing with bucket shops, except for actual delivery of cotton, and said that the same rule prevailed In the New York exchange. Mr. Worthen. of TVIIkes, wanted sto know If money wa* ever lost on the exchange. "Why, certainly,” aald Mr. Anderson, 'Just aa any man would lose money If he bought a thing too high and went to sell It. Men have lost money In horse*/' be said. Legitimate Commissions. A bucket shop concern run under the name of Woodall had offered a man the entire commission on the margins to represent them In a small town, and thsy would do this It they depended on legitimate commissions alone. The ex changes at Chicago, New York, Liver pool and Bremen would continue to op erate and their prices be accepted by the buelness world Irrespective of what we did or thought about It. The inen who accept margins are not the agents of the exchanges, but your agent. Buy ing on margin waa like buying on ac count. He related an Instance where he put a thousand margin In buying some stock and the broker put up the balance for him on Interest, and a few weeks later he drew the dividend upon that particular stock. With these le gitimate exchanges it Is always an ac tual transaction. He told of a farmer who had 1,700 bale* of cotton In February, 1(04, when rotten wa* selling at 17 cents. He ex ercised good business foresight and sold his crop for that year for 14 cent*. When the fall delivery came cotton wa* selling at about 10 cents. If this bill had been a law then this contract could not have been consummated. Mr. Cov ington thought It could, aa It was an Interstate transaction. They ara pro posing (o prevent It, whether they can If the house should pass Senator Al- sobrook's bill, passed In the senate on Thursday, for the protection of game and birds, every foot of land In Geor gia will be posted, and there can be no hunting anywhere without the consent of the property owner. . Senator Alaobrook'a bill was offered aa a substitute to Senator Wheatley’s measure Introduced for the Incorpora tion of the Adbon Society In Georgia and conferring certain powers on that organization. Senator Wheatley waa badgered by the members on hla bill, and after they had cornered him once or twice, he raised n shout of laughter by naively confessing: “Gentlemen, this la not my bill, but was Introduced by request." 8snat* Has a Busy 8ssiion.

C., July 1(.—Whtt would have proved one of the largest Jail deliveries ever made In North Caro lina was frustrated Tuesday night by the prompt action of Sheriff Reed. There were thirty-five prisoners In the Buncombe county jail at the time, and elaborate preparations which had been made for a wholesale escape were discovered during the day by the Jailer The attempt waa made shortly after 9 o’clock, Juat a few minute* after tha aherlff had placed his deputies on guard around the outside of the Jail. The crowd of escaping prisoners were headed by Will Trammel, charged with horse stealing and burglary, and "Dock” Fowler, who waa convicted of assault with a deadly weapon. The prisoners were met with a fuallade of ■hots from the guards, and at once re treated to their cell* through the brok. en wall of tho jail. When the aherlff later entered the Jail all the men were lying on their cota apparently asleep aa if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, although there waa a large hole cut In the wall of the large cell occupied by the white prisoners. An other hole cut In the floor of the cell and communicating with the cell di rectly underneath occupied by the col ored prisoners. The corridor door waa wrenched from Its hinges, and a large hole cut through the rear brick wall of the jail, at a height of about 8 feet from the ground. RAILROAD SCHEDULES.
