BOYKIN BILL TO ABOLISH DEALING
IN FUTURES PASSES HOUSE TUESDA Y
AFTER LONG AND BITTER FIGHT
Measure Victorious By
Vote of 132
to 15.
ANDERSON FOUGHT
HARD FOR HIS “SUB.”
After Long and Caustic De
bate Tuesday Morn
ing House Gives
Overwhelming
Decision.
The anti-bucket ahop bill, by Mr.
Boykin, of Lincoln, passed the house
ot representatives by substitute Tues
day morning by a vote ot 112 to IS.
The bill was debated tor several
hours, most of the time being taken up
by Mr. Wright, of Floyd, for the sub
stitute bill by Mr. Boykin.
The feature of the debate, however,
was the conclusion by Mr. Anderson,
o! Chatham, who made sensational
charges against some one high up In
the Southern Cotton Association, Inti
mating that there was back door lead
ing from the cotton association office
to the bucket shops. Before the gen
tleman from Chatham could conclude,
his twenty minutes expired, and he did
not name his man.
The bill was sent Immediately to the
senate after Its passage, thereby pre
cluding any reconsideration of 1U
More Life in the House.
Monday's spout of apathy had dl*.
appeared entirely when the house met
at 9 o'clock. Immediately after the
roll call and reading of the Journal,
many members arose to ask that va
rious bills be taken from the table
and put on the calendar, showing they
ware ready to submit the measures to
the house.
As was generally expected, Mr. Boy
kin, of Lincoln, asked that his anti
bucket ahop bill be taken from the table
and put on the calendar.
The committee on rules made a re
port fixing certain hours for the sua
sions of the house and limiting the.tlme
of debate on bills that may come up
to 15 minutes to each speaker.
Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb, Imme
diately objected on the ground that
his bill to .extend the W. & A. railroad
would not get a square deal with such
short debate.*
Seeing that there was about to be
precipitated a heated discussion on the
report of the rules committee, Mr. Al
exander asked that the report be ta
bled temporarily.
Boykin Bill Taken Up.
With the tabling of the report of the
rules committee, the anti-bucket shop
bill by Mr. Boykin, of Lincoln, was tar
ken up for consideration, having been
HERE IS THE CHARGE MADE t
BY ANDERSON, OF CHATHAM,
AS TO COTTON ASSOCIATION
While speaking against the Boykin
substitute to the anti-bucket shop blit
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, created a
sensation in the house Tuesday morning
when he made sensational charges
against a man In the headquarters of
the Southern Cotton Association, and
a leading figure In Its movements. He
was Interrupted by the speaker before
be concluded his charge, owing to the
time limit under which be was speak
ing. He said:
"I have pointed out that the Boykin
bill as drawn cannot become operative
until after January 1, 1>08, because the
brokers' licenses will be paid till then,
and this bill makes nqi provision, as
mine does, against that. I have also
pointed out that the Boykin bill will
not toucB 80 per cent of the gambling
In cotton, because It refers to contracts
for selling of cotton and nowhere
touches or Includes contracts for the
buying of cotton.
‘‘In view of these facts I have been
perplexed by the application and co
operation that has been noticed to ex
ist between parties known to be Inter
ested In the Piedmont Brokerage Co.,
which Is an actual bucket shop, and
persons known to be on the Inside of
the Southern Cotton Association which
pany bucket shop, and held one-etghth
of Its stock? Who is it In the office of
the Southern Cotton Association or of
hat stock standing in his
now
nams?
"Those things they ought to Invest!
to-
acii up iur L’unaiuciaiiuii, m
tabled last Friday morning.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, secured the
floor. He said In part:
"Every man in the house agrees that
bucket shops must go. They are a nut-
lance. The question comes down to
thin. What about the so-called ex
changes In Georgia.
Mr. Wright opened on his desk a
copy of a magazine containing an anti-
bucket shop article.
"1 expect to show to the members of
the house that these 1-e-gltlmate ex
changes are mere gambling houses. If
the no-called legitimate exchange Is a
gambling house It must go.
"The exchanges In New York, the
Chicago board of trade and all such
bodies were started with a good pur
pose, nnd as long as they were con-
tine,I to bona fide sales they were good
Institutions."
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham. Inter
rupted the tpentleman from Floyd:
"Will you please distinguish between
an exchange and a broker’s office?"
"I am not going to strain at a gnat
and awallow a camel,” replied Mr.
Wright, who continued on his argu
ment ngalnst the bucket shops and
"so-called legitimate exchanges." by
reading from the magazine he held, and
quoting from a man he said was In
sympathy with the "so-called legiti
mate exchanges."
"The exchange was first legitimate
and then was started by the mosey
lust of marginal gambling." Mr.
Wright asked that Mr. Anderson, of
Chatham, and Mr. Covington, of Col
quitt, who were walking up and down
the center aisle, desist.
"These exchanges and bucket shops
(re robbing the people of the South of
tin,oiM.ooo every year, and It must
step."
Mr. Wright then told of the methods
employed In, the exchanges, severely
gather In favor ot the Boykin
against mine.
“Can there be a back door connection
between the Southern Cotton Assocla
tlon and a bucket shop?
“I say here to the directors of the
Southern Cotton Association that they
should hold a rigid Investigation and
find out who Is it In their headquarters
that has been speculating In cotton un
der the name of Mike O'Grady and
signing the checks or receipts for the
money In an official capacity; who Is
It In there that has been speculating
In cotton under the name of P. A.
"What officer of the Southern Cotton
Association Is It who assisted In form
ing that Piedmont Brokerage Com
pete. That these are facts I have evl
dance In the shape of a statement
signed by two reputable men, and
have also the verbal statement of
prominent Atlanta cltlsen.”
Mr. Anderson was speaking under a
time limit rule, and at this point his
time expired.
Many Assumed Namts.
The manager of the Piedmont Brok
erage 'Company was seen at his office
under the Piedmont hotel about
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and asked If
he had on his books such names as
"P. E. Lee” or "Mike O'arady.”
The manager said he couldn't place
the names Just at that time, but that
If they were on his books he couldn't
divulge such knowledge. He asked
what sort of a looking man "Lee" was,
but the reporter didn't know.
"Well,” said he, "It Is very often that
we have customers who trade with us
under assumed names.”
"Nothing to 8ay About Names.”
“As to what Mr. Anderson charged
about the names Lee and Mike
O'Grady, I have nothing to say,” said
Richard A. Cheatham, secretary of the
Southern Cotton Association, when
asked for<n statement concernin'- the
sensational incident In the house Tues
day afternoon.
"But as to any official conectlon with
a bucket ahop, owning any Interest in
one or being otherwise related to one.
I state that any such Insinuations are
false." *
President Harvle Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Association, said:
"Mr. Anderson or anyone else who
makes a statement that I have had
anything to do with buying or selling
futures In a bucket shop Is guilty of a
falsehood."
