COMMITTEE PUTS RESPONSIBILITY ON NATL BODY Result of InvestigatingCom- mittee’s Deliberations Transmitted to Jordan. The censure but not recommendation of the discharge of Secretary Richard Cheatham wa» the verdict of the Investigating committee of the Southern Cotton Association In Its report, turned over to President Harvie Jordan Thursday afternoon. "We find no excuse or reason for Mr. Cheatham's affixing the word ■B.iretary' to his signature on the checks used In. these transactions. It I. ml.leading and apt to cause reflections on the association," said report, la mines ■ » rther commended that the Investigation and Its testimony he turned over to the national executive committee, which meets at Hot Bnrinra Ark.. In September, for action. Arthur A. Fairchild was also censured for owning an Interest Jn a bUCk It t »’as’stated In the report that every one of the witnesses against Cheatham and Fairchild was connected with or Interested In a brokerage bU,l lf was set forth that while there Is no law of the association prohibit ing Its officers from speculating, It is the policy of the organization to frown upon such. To this extent Messrs. Cheatham and Fairchild are <;enaured. The investigation committee met at 10 o’clock in room 919 in the Empire building and was in executive session until 1:15 p. m. The long deliberations gavo the impression that the members fail ed to agree and that a minority report might be presented. President Harvie Jordan entered the room at 12:30 o’clock and remained for half an hour. When ho left the room he refused to state what had happened but said that everything would be made public. CHEATHAM CLOSE PRESSED. When the taking of evidence in the Richard Cheatham inves tigation closed Wednesday night at 11 o’clock it left the defen dant Cheatham in an unenviable position. It had been proven, ami he had admitted, that he had carried on a number of specu lative operations at the exchange of Gibert & Clay, while hold ing an official position with the Southern Cotton Association. The case had resolved itself into one of ethics. Could one man oarry pn speculation for another, furnish the brains for the various deals, act upon his own initiative in every transaction, handle all the funds, and yet not be himself a speculator! Sir. Cheatham claimed that he acted merely as agent. He denied that he was speculating, saying that it was O’Grady and Lee who had taken the risks. J. Randolph Anderson, who was forced by the committee into the position of prosecuting attorney, summed up the case before the close of the session and following Sir. Cheatham’s testimo ny on the stand. .. M.!. MR. ANDERSON’S SUMMATION. “I cannot see,” said Sir. Anderson, “bow a man can carry on such transactions ns these have been admitted to be, buy and sell future cotton on the'speculativc market, pay and receive money, use his own knowledge and judgment, and yet be free from specu lation because he is acting for another person. It is only in purely civil cases that the principal is held responsible for the acts of his agent, and this principle does not hold good in ethical questions. Neither does it hold good in criminal practice.” Il had bean an exciting ten houra In the crowded rooms ot the cotton association. President Jordan had been urged to hold the Inveatlgatlon In some more convenient place, but ho failed to make other arrangements, and many who came to hear the Inveatlgatlon retired when they found neither seats nor standing room. The noise of wagons on the street be low drowned all conversation at times, and It was often necessary to repeat ports of the evidence. From 10 o'clock In the morning until 11 o'clock at night, with but two short Interval* for luncheon, the Inveatlgatlon proceed ed steadily. LITTLE EFFORT MADE TO HURT CHEATHAM'8 CAU8E. The attitude of the Investigating committee was cemmented upon by a number of Interested listeners who gained the Impression that but little real. effort to bring out testimony damaging to Richard Cheatham would be made by the tribunal which had been called to try him. Throughout the Investigation the witnesses for the prosecution were thrown on the defen sive by the committee, badgered with cross questions. Interrupted by the defendant .with the silent consent of the committee.. J. Randolph Anderson, whose speech In the house brought about the In vestigation. and who appeared In order to vindicate hla own position, was forced Into acting as prosecuting attorney against his own expressed desire. It was he who must do the questioning, If anything was to be brought out which might throw light <Jn the Inner secrets of tne speculative transac tions. He was handicapped by the refusal of Mr. Chsatham to answer any question that did not suit hint, and was not supported In his contention that Mr. Cheatham, who was on trial before a tribunal of his superior officers, should be forced, whether willing or not, to furnish such evidence as the case demanded. SEYMOUR ATTORNEY FOR THE DEFEN8E. Especially prominent In the proceedings wa* \V. H. Seymour, of Mont gomery, Ala., a member of the national executive committee. At the organ- ; nation M. L. Johnson, of Cass Btatlon, Ga., had been elected chairman, but It was Mr. Seymour who took the lend In the Inveatlgatlon. His questions were almost entirety.confined to those which would serve to discredit the witnesses against Mr. Cheatham or to bring out matter favorable to the de. fendant. At time* he appeared to forget hla position on the committee and to step into the place of attorney for the defense. Chairman Johnson had but little to say. But two of the committee, John P. Allison, of Concord, •v C, and W. L. Peck, of Conyers, Ga., seemed willing to probe deep below the surface and force out the testimony necessary to a thorough examine- tIon, and these two came to the front but rarely. The attitude of Richard Cheatham was more that of defiance than con- ndence In his ground. He refused to answer a number of questions; he re fused to give Holland Curran, an Important witness, his permission to speak before the committee; h^ refused to sign orders on the Fourth National hank for certain checks In the poaaeeelon of that Institution, which might throw light on the cotton tradee; he refused to produce checks and other evidence which, Mr. Anderson stated, were In Cheatham’s possession. He had expressed himself as desirous of a searching Investigation, but h* steadll.r refrained from offering the commltte hla own assistance. The Investigating committee permitted Mr. Cheatham to take thla de- nant position throughout the proceedings. It a-as silent when Mr. Anderson urged the commltte to call upon Mr. Cheatham to furnish certain material evidence. It eupported Mr. Cheatham In hla refusal to answer questions, it Interfered on one or two occasions when such questions were asked as were evidently objectionable to the defendant. It permitted Mr. Cheatham to reruns to divulge anything about the -trades of "P. A. Lee.” permitted him to refuse to admit or deny hi* connection with the "Mike Jones” account at the R, Sledenburg exchange. BUT FAIRCHILD WA8 RAKED OVER THEXOAL8. There was on* pawn on the chessboard who might easily be saert- need to save a more Important piece, and when he was called to the stand the Inquisitorial power* of the committee came more strongly Into play. Arthur Fairchild, who has signed himself as manager of the publication department of the cotton association and who solicits advertising for the annual publication of the association, admitted that It was he who had owned stock In the Piedmont Brokerage Company- He disclaimed say of- ncial connection with the cotton association, and stated that'he was men- iv an employee, but he was raked over the coale by the committee In a way foreign to the previous easy-going Investigation. Mr. Seymour ask ed how he came to aaaume such a title as publication manager; whether this were an office permitted ,by the constitution; wheth- *r he had ever been recognized by the executive officer* as >n official. Mr. Fairchild stated that he had not thought hla personal ownership of stock in a bucket shop would reflect on the association. . The Indignation with which Mr. Fairchild’s connection with the bucket shop, even though he was but a salaried employee with a title, *bd n ot an official of the cotton association, waa shown when Mr. Fglr- ehl d submitted a card, which he aald he would submit to the press and which at the same time he filed with the committee. In this card, which is published in another column and which wa* primarily Intended aa a communication to the press. Mr. Fairchild expressed himself as saying that father than facilitate the onslaughts on the cotton organisation, iy would serving* 0 dl * Conn ' ct himself entirely from the gentlemen he had been ' FAIRCHILD FORCED TO RE8IGN. Mr. Seymour at once called attention to this section of the card and BASEBALL^ Caldwell Pleaded Guilty to Charge of Embezzlement of- Coal Co. Funds. Special to The Georgian. -Bristol, Tenn., Aug.
