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."
