All this goes to confirm the report

When tho Investigating commlll
submitted 11ft report to.President liar
vie Jordan late rhursdny afternoon It
condemned Richard Chratham, Deere
tary of the Southern Cotton Aatncla
tlon, In unmistakable terms. White It
made no recommendatlone for hla dia
mlasal and left the report In the hands
of the national committee. It so ex
pressed Its opinion of the conduct of
Richard Cheatham aa to leave that
body no loophole of escape from de
cisive action.
“Such action meets our strongest
dlaapprovat and and condemnation, 1
were the words used ln commenting on
Cheatham's admitted operations In the
cotton exchange under the names of
O'Orady and Lee.
“We find no reasonable excuse or
reason for the use by him of the word
'secretary' after hla name signed in
checks ln theae tranacllons. but believe
It to be a wrong against the associa
tion whose secretary he was, and this
meets the same condemnation
above.”
This .waa the finding on the use of
Cheatham's official signature to checks
private transactions.
The committee took up the matter
of A. A. Fairchild's part ownership In
a bucket shop and reported:
"Applying this same rule to A.
Fairchild, an employee of this associa
tion, for he waa unquestionably no
more, no less, we make the same find-
' ig aa to him."
Tt was evident after the close of the
evidence that the Investigating com
mute could not choose but And that
Cheatham had acted against the policy
of the association. In spite of the
fact that but little apparent effort waa
made by those members of the commit
tee moat In the foreground to draw
out damaging evidence, Mr. Cheatham's
own admissions were sufficient, with
out other evidence, to make a caaa
against him. There were member* of
the committee who said but little, but
who listened quietly and seemed
strongly Impressed by the evidence pro-
sented.
Whery-the committee returned to tha
office fof Chairman Johnson, In the
Empire building, at 8 o'clock it waa an
nounced that the deliberations were
over, and nothing remained but to pre
pare the report. Mr. Allison, of North
Carolina, had left the committee room
at 18:80 o’clock and did not return.
Mr. Smith did not return to the room
after the adjournment for luncheon,
when he stated the deliberation,
completed, t.olopst Peek left I
after 2 o’clock; leaving the completion
of the report to Chairman Johnaon and
Secretary Seymour. The report, which
waa a typewritten document covering
about two pages, was not made public
SSI i-tn n'rilnpk
until about 4:10 o’clock.
Whether or not there was any con
tinued argument over the report or any
strongly marked dissension could not
be learned. The committee met In ex
ecutive session, with only a stenogra
pher present. No minority report was
submitted, end the findings Bore the

New Orleans, La., Aug. 8.—The vln-
dlctlvo attacks made by President Har
vie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton As
sociation, upon bot?i the New Orleans
and New York cotton exchanges, fol
lowed almost Immediately by the un
earthing of certain facts, showing. It
la Claimed, dlrec»-connection between
an officer of /tne association and nn
Atlanta bucket shop, .known aa the
Piedmont Brokerage Company, have
elicited much adverse criticism
throughout the South.
James J. Lea. publisher of The
Trade Index, of this city, who has been
Intimately associated with the cotton
trad* for the past thirty years and
who ranka as a leading authority upon
all mattsra pertaining to the market
ing of the. South'# great staple crop,
when questioned as to his opinion con
cerning President Jordon’s recently as
sumed position, expressed himself as
follows:
Is Not Surpriatd.
”1 am not at all surprised that 5Ir.
Jordan's administration of Its affairs
should have served to place the South
ern Cotton Association In the position
of unenviable notoriety It now occu
pies; flrat, because I have never been
Arm believer In his disinterested-
nees of purpose in promoting the or
ganization of the association.' and.
again, because I have always been con
vinced of hla profound Ignorance as
to the absolutely necessary modern
methods of handling the cotton crop,
en route from the fleld to the loom.
"As to the btttsr attacks made by
Mr. Jordan upon the contract market
of this city and New York, and his evi
dent desire to turn the American cot
ton planters over to the tender merries
of the foreign mill representatives, op
erating through Liverpool and Havre,
I am at a loss to understand, even
admitting his honesty of purpose, the
base Ingratitude he has displayed. For
It Is a fact well known throughout
the South, thut had It not hren for the
active support of the Individual
bars of the New Orleans cotton ex
change and their contribution of some
thing like 18,000 with which to pay
the expenses of Its organization, the
Southern Cotton Association would
have had no present existence. Add to
this th* fact that *1 r. Jordan owes his
election as president of the association
to the support of such men aa Mr. A.
Britton, president, and Colonel H. O.
Hester, secretary of the New Orleans
cotton exchange, and we have the sum
of his double dealing.
Under Obligations.
"To the New York exchange possi
bly he does not owe so direct a debt of
gratitude, but to Individual members of
the Institution, he Is unquestionably
under obligations since he has been
received by the officers of that Institu
tion with every mark of distinction and
has accepted courtesies at the hands
of prominent members that should cer
tainly have precluded any such sub

"Touching the matter of the charge

"THEY DO THE WORK.”
An Impromptu Inspection of a num
ber of the local meat concerns mis
mnde Thursday afternoon by some of
the members of the special commltti-e
appointed to Investigate the prevailing
conditions.
The Investigation was brought to a
sudden end by two of the party be
ing made so III by the condition ot one
ot the slaughter housee that they pent
home.
Friday afternoon at 8 o'clock the
committee will hold session and from
what can be gathered from those who
took the trip Thursday, evidence rival
ing the most sensational brought out
In the Chicago Investigation will l>o
given.
Chairman Walter A. Taylor. Gorge
H. Sims, J. H. MeEaehem, Chief John
Jentsen, Meat Inspector A. Wnssn and
C. H. Jolly formed the Inspecting par
ty.
The following-named places were
visited:
Quick McDaniel's, on Fair street;
Wolfshelmer's, at Reynoldstown: the
Hawtrll Racking House, at Lakewood:
the Miller Union stock yards and
Bettis' slaughter house, back of Clark
University.
Without exception, the conditions
were found unsanitary at. each of the
slaughter houses.
Chief Jentzen stated Friday, alien
asked about the places, that "Mclinn-
lei'H mis In bail shape. The floors were
etoan* but the surrounding mndlttnna
were My hud and tbs odor
foul."
About Wolfshelmer's pliice he
"II \inr In very good sho|
to the others."
As to Sawtell's, Chief Jentzen
"This «aa the nioHi modern pin
Insjmcted. They have access tc
water, have a cool Inf rooniftHj
stora#t room. In tbit rtsptflt
alone, but the drainage was poo
the place needed cleaning up."
About the Miller Union ps
house he said: "It waa In pretty ..
shape, but like the others, there mas no
place to hang the meats."
About Bettis' he Raid: "It waa filthy.
It waa na foul as It would bo possible
for a place to be made. It had the
appearance of not having been cleaned
up for a month. The entrallM of the
cattle thrown out to the hogs and
which had not been consumed were
rotting In tho aun. fltagnnnt pools of
blood were everywhere. It waa terri
ble."
The phyalcal condition of the party
had been aomewhat shaken by th#- in
vestigation before It reached Heftin'
place, and It waa here that two of
the mernbera, chairman Walter A. Tay
lor and Veterinary Surgeon Jolly, weer
made III.
Chairman Taylor refuted to discuss
the plasma visited, stating thut be
would wait until the meeting Friday
afternoon. He stated, however, that
all Inspector Waster had said ln and
out of the committee room hai
verified nnd that conditions pr
that he had never touched upon
Betti.' Place Cloied.
Inspector Wanner Immediately on In
specting Bettis* place closed It down.
Last night Mr. Bottls called at In
spector Waster's home and asked for
to qobUmbs to ei.niKiit« r.
The permlsMlon was not granted.

although Atlanta could not build a
central slaughter house this year, In
spection would Improve the condltlonH
to a great extent and that already the
agitation of the question had made the
slaughter-house men clean up theif
places to some degree. ;
A good example of the efficiency of
