Randolph Anderson to the Southern Cotton Asoclatlon investigat ing coifimlttee during Its deliberations Thursday morning: ATLANTA, Oa., August 1, HOI. Messrs. M. L. Johnaon, W. H. Sey mour, John A. Altlaon, J. D. Smith, W. L. Peek, Investigating Committee Southern Cotton Aaaoetatlofi: Door Kn:—Tour committee having requested me to aaslat you with such •uggeatlona aa I could to aid you In probing to the- bottom the - matters chnrged against Mr. Richard Cheatham, secretary, and Mr. Arthur A. Fairchild, manager publishing bureau of the Southern Cotton Association, 1 think It proper to submit the following eug- gestlous In addition to those, already made you at the public hearing you had today. Mr. Arthur A. Fairchild haying In his statement to, you admitted the charges made against him and having tendered hi, resignation, his case. Is disposed of. In regard to Mr. Cheatham the ques tion the public will ask Is whether your committed Is- going to rest on what wa, told you at the hearing to day or are you going to hold a genuine business-like Investigation and Insist on getting at the bottom of the busi ness. Is this commutes going to-con tinue to refuse to demand that Mr. Cheatham • produce to you the docu mentary evidence In hlk own posses sion and that he give you aceeaa to the evidence In the possession of the banks and other parties In relation to this matter, all of which you can get on a simple written request from Mr. Cheat ham that It be given you? If so will not the publle Inquire of what use Is an Investigation which refuses to Insist on full disclosures from Mr. Cheatham of all the facts both In his possession or under his control, but simply con tents Itself with such evidence as It can get from persons who voluntarily offer to appear before a formal public session of the committee. The risk of this criticism Is what I thought the In- vsstlgatlon should guard Itself against as I pointed out In my letter of July 27 to President Harvle Jordan, and h# agreed with .me In the statement he made' to your committee this morning. Mr. Cheatham takes the position that these are his personal affairs and ha seems to think he should only be amenable for his official acts. Some of your committee seemed also to think you had no right to Insist on a disclos ure of his personal affairs even though relating only to the charges against him. 1, Permit me to suggest that what your committee Is called to Investigate Is the personal conduct of your official In regard to the matters charged against him. Are You Going to Get Facts? Now, In the chargee and specifica tions made against Mr. Cheatham this morning he stands specifically charg ed with having speculated or (which Is the same thing) having carried on speculations In cotton In the name of Mike O'Grady and P. A. Lee, and In the O'Grady transactions with having paid $4,000 In margins with checks on the Foutrh National Bank of Atlanta, signed "Richard Cheatham, Secretary." It Is charged and teatMed to by Mr. Fagan that tt(e Mike O'Grady account wma closed up on March It, 1900, by the payment to Mr. Cheatham of two New York checks neither .of which was payable to Mr. O'Grady. One of these rnr $2,730.98 was payable to Richard Cheuthnm Individually and waa paid for or deposited In his Individual ac count In o bank In Memphis: and the other for $989.02 was payable to 8. II. Bedford ttnd was first deposited In liuttk In Greenville, Miss. All these facts are admitted by Mr. Cheatham, hut lie claims that Mike O'Grady and P. A. Lee were real persona for whom he was acting. Whether they were real persons or Imaginary persons Is wholly Immaterial. Mr. Cheatham conducted the speculations by his own admission. Your committee, however, Is desirous of getting at the bottom of the mutter. The question Is: are you going to Insist that Mr. Cheatham give you access to all the facts which are known to be lit his possession or un der Ills control? 1 submit the follow ing suggestions: . „ Is P. A. Lee a real person? The ad mltted and undisputed testimony Is that the check for $115 In settlement of this account was handed to Mr. Cheatham and that It was paid to or cashed by the Piedmont Hotel upon the Indorsement of Richard Cheatham Individually, the prior Indorsement be ing P. A. Lee. Mr. Cheatham refuees to disclose the Identity of P. A. Lee. The Identity of this person Is not nec essary, but I submit your committee should Insist that Mr. Cheatham show you the letters, statements and paid checks he sent to P. A. Lee In the course of this transaction. Why Hasn’t O’Grady Got His Monty. Mr. Mike O'Grady. of Chattanooga, appeared before you and ctalmsd that the Mike O'Orady speculations had In February and March last, Involving $.000 bales of cotton futures and $4,000 of margins, paid by checks sign ed "Richard Cheatham, Secretary," wefe tradea which Mr. Cheatham had carried on for him. O'Grady slated he had given Cheatham $2,000 In cash last January to use to speculate In cot ton for him, and later had given him a further amount. Alio that he only put the money In Cheatham'a hands, and left It entirely to Cheatham'a Judgment what tradea to make and when to make them. Aleo that many of the broker'! statement he submitted to you this morning he had only re ceived from Cheatham after he came here this week to attend this Investi gation. Also that although these par ticular transactions were closed out on March It and Mr. Cheatham had then received hack from the brokers $$,720, Mr. Cheatham had never yet rendered him a full statement or accounting and had not remitted him any money un til recently, when he sent him $2,000, and that the balance was still to bs ad justed by Cheatham. I suggest that your committee should Insist that Mr. Cheatham submit to you his latter book showing copies of all his letters and telegrams to O'Grady together with all statements of accounting be tween himself and O'Grady and all paid check* he sent to O'Orady with the letters remitting those checks and showing what they were for. A Question of Veracity. Mr. O'Grady also stated, you will rec ollect, that these trade* thrqpgh 'th,e brokerage house of Olbert A Clay were the only speculation* Cheatham made for him here, and the differences re- malqlng to be adjusted between himself and Cheatham were not In regard to speculative matters. Now, Mr. Holland Curran, the clerk of Ssldenburg A Co, testified that more recently Cheat- count through the firm of Seldenburg A Co. to the extent of 900 bales of cot ton and hod paid for the margins with checks signed "Richard Cheatham, sec retary," drawn on tho-Fmirth National bank. He testified that this account wa* first opened by Mr. Cheatham sim ply under the assumed name of "Mike," and that later, when they told him they must have a full name, he told them to make It "Jones," of Chattanoo ga, and that the account was accord ingly carried on their books In the name of "Mike Jones," of Chattanooga. Thla account, he said, was closed out within the last thirty days by a check from Cheatham for about $46 to cover the balance due by him. This check, he said, waa signed "Richard Cheat ham, secretary, and was made pay able to cash, but It shows that It was Indorsed and deposited by Seldenburg * Co, I suggest that your committee should Insist that Mr. Cheatham should give you a detailed statement of these trades, with their -dates, etc., and should produce this check, and also that he should give you a written or der of request upon Mr. J. D. or J. B. Cheatham, the manager for Heldenburg A Co., asking and authorising him to give your committee all tho facts about this account. With this order you should be able to get further Informa tion shout this account. Mr. Cheat ham admits the trades, but claims now that thla account was also for his friend, Mike O'Grady. In regard to the account of Richard Cheatham, secretary, In the Fourth Na tional bank, Mr. Cheatham stntcd that It was his personal account, which, for private reaaona, he kept In that way, and that he had no other Individual account there. Information has come to me that he did have two accounts In that bank; one as ‘‘Richard Cheat ham, secretary,” and one ns "Richard Cheatham." I suggest that your com mittee should demand that Mr. Cheat ham give you a written order and re quest on the Fourth National bank to furnlah you with any Information you may ask for In regard to the accounts kept by him at that bank. Thla they will do upon such a request. assistance I can, as I promised to do. 1 have told you what Ihe facts are that have come to me, and I have pointed out where and how you can verify all of them. It Is for you to do the rest and say wheth er you Insist on getting at these facts which are In Mr. Cheatham’* posses sion or control. A business man, In vestigating the conduct of his own business, would not hesitate, and an Investigating committee, such as yours, ought not to. I expect to make this an open letter, so as to place myself on record as to these suggeattona. Not Aeeociatlon on Trial, Permit me one closing suggestion. It la not ths Southern Cotton Associa tion which Is on trial, although the ac cused officials naturally desire t5 have It so appear. The surest way for the association to be Injured Is to taks that lioaltlon. The certain way for the as sociation to render all criticism harm less la tor It to take the stan'd that It Itself la Investigating Into the personal conduct of Its officials, whether they be elective, administrative or merely ministerial and minor one*, and that It Intends to purge Itself of any of them whose conduct It finds to be Improper In uny respect. When this It done, the aeeociatlon will cause rejoicing to Its friends anil confusion to Its. enemies because It will have shown that It has life and strfngth enough to keep Its premise.* clean, and thus render attacks and criticism harmless.
