BASEBALL
“I Can Gamble If I
Want To,” He
Says.
M. L. JOHNSON LATE;
PROBING DELAYED
“Investigation” Will Be Be
gun at 10 O’Cloek Wed
nesday Morning.
Because M. L. Johnson, of Benton,
president of the Georgia division of the
cotton association, failed to arrive
Monday morning, the "Investigation,"
which the officers of the'Southern Cot-
ton Association were to conduct at 10
o'clock, was postponed first until
o'clock in the afternoon until Wednes
day morning at 10 o'clock. Mr.,John
son and Hon. W. L. Peek, of Rock
dale, will conduct the Investigation.
Mike O’Grady was present in the of
flees of the cotton association when the
Investigation was due. It was Mike
O'Grady In the flesh, who came alt the
way from Chattanooga to explain why
he bought and sold cotton through an
Atlanta exchange In preference to US'
Ing the home exchange.
He says Richard Cheatham did his
trading for him here.
“I CAN GAMBLE IF I WANT TO,"
DECLARES MICHAEL O’GRADY.
Michael O’Grad'y Is vice president and
manager of the Wakeman Distilling
Company, of Chattanooga. He Is a
Republican, a leader of the Brownlow
faction in East Tennessee politics, and
a man of some wealth. As he re
marked Monday:
"I am in such circumstances that I
can GAMBLE if I want to.”
Mr. O’Grady was seated in an Inner
office when the newspaper representa
tives called to be present at the in
vestigation. ■ The representatives of
The Journal and News were led into
ti;" Inner sanctum by Richard Cheat
ham and Introduced to Mr. O'Grady.
The Georgian representative was not
officially Informed that any such per
son waApresent. When ho called later
and asked Mr. Cheatham if Mr.
O'Grady were In the offices, Mr. Cheat'
ham remarked:
''Where did you hear that? You .can
hear anything around thesa bucket
shops.” '
Mr. Cheatham steadily refused to
state whether or not Mr. O’Grady was
pressnt. Michael O'Grady himself was
more communicative, however, and ex
“O’GRADY NAME IS NEW TO ME.”—Cheatham
“KNOWN CHEATHAM FOR *YEARS.”—0’Grady
Richard Cheatham, secreta
ry Southern Cotton Association,
said in The Constitution of July
25:
“I have nothing to say touch
ing Mr. Anderson’s charges in
which Lee and O’Grajly are
brought into the limelight. Tho
NAMES ARB NEW TO ME,
notwithstanding the historical
prominence which many Lees
and O'Gradya have attained.”
Michael O’Grady, vice presi
dent and,manager of Wakeman
Distilling Company, of Chatta
nooga, Tenn.:
“I have known Cheatham for
four or five years. I know him

Tenn. lie made a number of
investments for mo on Atlanta
exchanges last February and
March and possibly in January,
lie used his own judgment in
the investments.”
OUTSIDE INVESTIGA TlON
DEMANDED FOR OFFICIALS
From'The Albany Herald.
The Investigation which President Harvle Jordan has ordered of the
implied chargee made by a member of the legislature In a speech In the
house of representatives a few days ago, to the effect that some of the
officials of the Southern Cotton Association had some sort of connection
with an Atlanta bucket shop, will amount to nothing. Instead of ap
pointing that committee himself, President Jordan should have asked
somebody else to do It. Under the circumstances, nothing but an exon
eration and vindication of the officials of the Southern Cotton Association
will be expected by the public, and then those who are unfriendly to the
association or Its officials will say that the whole matter has been ''white
washed” by a committee composed of those officially connected with the
association and appointed by the association's president. And, besides,
this committee is without any authority to compel witnesses to testify,
and If those' who are summoned or Invited to testify refuse to do so, a
searching Investigation may not be had.

fanta Cotton markets and why his
name had appeared on the books of one
exchange. _ ...
On July 24 the Hon. J. Randolph
Anderson, representative from Chat
ham county, d*lared in an address
before tho lower house of the legisla
ture that certain persons had been
speculating in cotton under the name
of Mike O'Grady and A. P. Lee, and
that it was the duty of the directors
of the Southern Cotton Association to
Investigate and find out who was spec-
uiatlifg under those names.
CHEATHAM HANDLED MONEY
AND USED HIS JUDGMENT.
Mr. O'Grady, of Chattanooga, de
clares that It was he Who was trading
on ths Atlanta exchange, but that
Richard Cheatham, secretary of the
Southern Cotton Association, was han
dling tho money and using his Judg
ment as to when to buy and when to
sell. Mr. O'Grady gave out the fob
lowing statement Monday morning:
"I hatre had Cheatham work several
trades for me, In cotton altogether. He
did this at my earnest solicitation, tor
business reasons, I did not care to lend
myself to speculation In Chattanooga,
where I live, and, therefore, wrote Mr.
Cheatham to handle my trades for me
in Atlanta. . . . . .
“Mr. Cheatham told me that he had
a friend in an exchange here who waa
strictly honest and reliable and who
could be depended upon to keep his
business to himself.
“1 HAVE KNOWN CHEATHAM
FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.
"I have known Cheatham for four
or five years. I knew him In Mississip
pi and In Memphis, Tenn. I gave him
a. specific sum to Invest for me, with
Instructions to use his S wn
about when to buy and_sell. These
investments began In February or
•March, or possibly in January of this
year.
"I came to Atlanta of my ownac-
cord, after hearing through a Chatta
nooga newspaper man that my name
had been used In connection *'***’ “J®

unenviable notoriety. I had no deslra

With one senate committee amend
ment on both measures, the court of
appeals and child labor bills'passsd tho
senate Monday without debate.
On the child labor bill, the Bell
measure which was passed overwhelm
ingly by the house, the vote was 27 to
0—no aye and nay vote being called
for when It came up for passage. The
amendment made by the committee rel
ative to the educational feature was
adopted without a dissenting voice.
Then,came the vote on the passage
of the completed measure. There was
no debate, no crowd In the galleries
or the rear of the senate and no ap
plause, making strong contrast with a
year ago when the senate defeated the
bill by a vote of 23 to 17 after the
house had passed It by a large vote.
It was Immediately transmitted to
the house. If that body concurs In
the senate amendment, which It 1s un
derstood It wilt do, notice will be sent
to the senate and the measure will go
to the governor at once for hie slgna
ture.
Court of Appeals Pasted.
The court of appeals bill was fixed
for tbe first business on Monday, but
at that time not enough members were
present for the requisite constitutional
majority, and Senator Miller moved to
temporarily table It.
The child labor bill was passed, and
as many members had come In the
court of appeal bill was taken from the
table. The amendment of the commit
tee relative to the election «o be called
In November to elect the three Judges
for terms of two, four and tlx years,
was adopted.
Without debate the completed bill
hen passed by the following vote:
Ayes—Alsobrook. Bennett, Blood-
worth, Bunn, Candler, Carlthers, Cars
well, Copelan. Crum, Foster, Foy, Furr,
Hamby, Hand, Hogan, King, Lumsden,
McHenry, Miller, Odum, Parker, Pey
ton. Phillips. Reid, Rose, Steed, Strange,
Walker, Westbrook, Wheatley, Wilcox,
Williams—32. , „ „ • »
Absent—A. C. Blalock. O. A. Blalock,
Bond, Fltxgerald, Fortner, Grayblll,
McAllister, Mills, Strmans.
Not voting—Adams.
The bill was Immediately transmit
ted to the house. If that body concurs
In the amendment It will then go to
the governor for his signature, and
the constitutional question will be sub
mitted to the people In the regular fall
election.
Athens Dispensary Safe.
By adopting the recommendation of
the senate commute on temperance, the
fight on the Athens dispensary Is ended,
with a victory for the tank.
The commute unanimously recom
mended that the bill do not pass, and
the house adopted It without question.
The house passed the bill to abolish the
itiiC could not reach Atlanta before
o'clock, and that It would be necessary
to postpone the Investigation until *
o'clock.
"CHEATHAM SAYS IT WILL
BE REAL INVESTIGATION."
Mr. Cheatham staled that It was to
be a real Investigation, and that Jor
dan and he would not "Investigate
themselves." as had been'nslnuated-
He said that the two office™ who
would conduct the Investigation were
the superior officers, with power to
tank, but the < senate declined to ac
quiesce.
Endowments, Exempted.
A' bill by Senator Candler, which Is
a constitutional amendment, exempt#
endowments of churches and Colleges
from taxation, passed the senate .Mon
day by a.vote of-33 to 0.
Vote to Increase Pay,
With only Senators Hamby and
Peyton voting "No," the senate Monday
passed Senator Carswell's bill to In
crease tho pay of members of the gen
eral assembly from 34 to 37 per day,
and the speaker of the house and ths
president of the senate to 310.
It prohibits any member of the gen
eral assembly from accepting any rail
road or street car pass or telegraph,
telephone or express frank. It afreets
only members of the legislature.
The resolution by Messrs. Slqjon,
Blackburn and Bell, of Fulton, to me
morialise congress to make an appro
priation for a national military park
about Atlanta was adopted.
In keeping with the governor's mes
sage recently Senator Bennet Intro-
dueed two bills Monday to allow the
new counties to have a Just propor
tion of the convict and common school
funds. Altogether Monday was botn a
busy and a fruitful day In the senate,
and It all came with business-like dis
patch.
Ssnatt Bills Passed.
By Senator Candler: To amend the
constitution so as to exempt endow
ments of churches and colleges from
taxation.

mediately by the Candler substitute to
