Four hours Thursday afternoon,
from 2 to T.o'clock, the senate commit
tee on agriculture listened to argu
ments for and against the Boykin
anti-bucket shop bill.
And no voto w«s reached after the
long discussion. The senate chamber
waa well well lilted when the meeting
began at 3 o'clock, and many of the
spectatora remained throughout.
Chairman Hogan, Senators Miller,
Ware, Williams, Hand, Wheatley.
Furr, Held, Parker, Walker, Fltsger-
ald, Crum, Peyton end Rose, of the
committee were present. Mr. Boykin
was I,resent throughout, and though
he did not apeak, frequently Interro
gated the witnesses.
8am Jonts Opened Debate.
Sam D. Jonea, president of the cham
her of commerce, opened with the
statement that the dtrectora of the
chamber met on July 3, heard both
sides nml passed resolution* endore
ing the movement to do away with
bucketahopH.
‘‘I hope the legislature of Georgia
III taka such high stand In this mat
ter that there will be no question as
to Its meaning and purpose.
"Every transactldn of this character
begins or ends In a gamble. In many
Instance it begins with a gamble und
ends with one.
I do not think the legislature can
afford to license any business that Is
a gamble. Whether It Is a htg bucket
little bucket the result Is the
same. Anything that Is morally
wrong cannot be politically right.
"If business Interests are cut up by
this law business will find other chan
nels to right Itself.
"I buy pig Iron, but there la no ex
change or bucket shop where I do or
can deal. One year I sold stoves when
Iron was at IT, and tt went to $1S, hut
was protected by a clause in my
contract.
1 do not believe the life of cotton
manufacturing depends upon this
business. It can adjust Itself easily.
Gentlemen, get out of this valley you
are now In.
"We arc dodging between n bucket-
shop and a warehouse, it right and
wrong. a„ high enough and you will
see the right and do It."
Orr Favors Boykin Bill,
J. K. Orr, president of the Atlanta
Credit Men'e Association, spoke next.
"Today nlmoat universally the credit
man Js the ultra-conservative man In
hla business. When I see them es
pouse any cause I nm satlsfled that It
bears a close relation to the general
good.
"The credit man la the barometer of
business. When they have been Im
pressed with tho necessity for legisla
tion on this subject I am almost willing
to endorse H without Investigation.
"In recent yoars they have been
hampered by reports of holding cot
ton. It develop# In a large percentage
of ease* that those so reporting are
holding for speculative purpose*.
"Rpeculation of any kind Is Injury
to the credlt'of any one engaged In It.
There Is a fever of speculation over
the country. Even in small towns
there are exchanges.
Hurts All Buslnsss.
"The credit men ore Interested be-
cause this business directly affects the
entire business world. If the cotton
mill men were going to be seriously
hurt by this bill you would see this
hall crowded with them."
He aald he hod heard from many
cotton inen and practically all favored
the Boykin bill.
"It la better to go a little too far and
right a great evil than do nothing. If
Georgia pns.es this Mli It will take
a great stride forward."
Mr. Akers TtstIFiss.
J. 8. Akers, of Inman. Akers A In
man, spoke next.
I am here simply as a wltnesa. I
am neither for or against It. I am as
much opposed to speculation as any
member on this committee. It hurt*
our business. .. .
I must say In Justice, however, that
coton exchanges do serve certain
legitimate transactions. W e have our
nxenta selling cotton now for future
delivery. If they sell at certain price*
for delivery It I* wired Into u*.
"I at once wire to 'cover on this
sale I buy n contract to cover this
■ale! and If I lose on one I make on
the other. We do actually buy for the
contract, and then sell out at such and
* U Hc explained In detail the method of
dealing In cotton by actual contract!.
Would Not Hurt Him.
Asked In what way tho bill would
afreet hla business he enld he did not
know that It would at all. He said it
would be more convenient for him to
have the exchanges here to deal
through.
"Through the houses an order can
be executed In about 3 minutes. By
private wire It would require IS.
Hedging Is necessary to my business."
He said he Inclined to the belief
that exchnngea made for a better
price tn cotton, and tended to enhance
value*.
"Doesn't the country lose more on
these speculations than It makes?"
asked Senator Retd.
"I am afraid It does, though I have
no direct Information on It.”
Mr. Akera was subjected to a run
nlng lire of questions from Scab
Wrtght, Mr, Anderson and members of
the commltee.
Mr, Boykin asked him If the Ander
son substitute would stop Illegitimate
speculation In cotton.
"No, 1 do not think so,” waa the re
ply.
Harvie Jordan Speaks.
Hnrvle Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Association, began
by stating that the association had
been* urging legislation to prevent cot
ton speculation.
"Mr. Boykin's bill prevents specula
tion In any commodity; Mr. Anderson's
simply seeks tn stop bucket shops.
' "There Is a morel question Involved.
When the state reaches the condition
to consider from a cold-blooded busi
ness way. It Is time to amend the con
stitution.
"In debating the question on tho floor
Mr. Anderson made certain charges
against the Southern Cotlnn Associa
tion. lie admits that It waa done to
defeat the Boykin bill. 'That should
be argument enough to pass It.
"I never saw a man work as hard
to worm out of another something to
bolster up a bad cause as Mr. Ander.
son did In questioning Mr. Akers.
"The business of dealing In cotton
futures Is growing enormously In this
country, particularly among farmers.
They are being Induced to sell their
spots nnd buy future* and put up the
margins. Nine-tenths of the people
who dest with these places loaa.
"I ask you In my official capacity
to pass this bill and let Georgia go
before the country leading In' this
great moral question. If you do It, 1
give you my wora that with In two
years nearly every Houthern stato will
lave followed.
The contention we make Is that
breaking up these concerns will nut
seriously Interfere with business In
Georgia." '
Savannah Man’s Testimony.
Murray Stewart, an exporter from
Savannah, said that If the source of
Information furnished by the wire
house was taken away. It would seri
ously Interfere with cotton dealers.
"You don't mean to say that these
wire houses arc here simply to furnish
Information?" asked Scab Wright.
"No, they are here for business.”
"There would be no profit to the
houses without speculation?"
“Not altogether. They do a certain
legitimate business."
He said be did not agree altogether
with Mr. Akera that these houees de
pended absolutely on speculation.
Mr. Anderson asked him If wire
houses could not survive tn a place
where n million and a quarter bales
were handled, aa In Snvnnnah, by. le
gitimate business. The reply was In
the affirmative.
He said he thought the farmer would
get less for hla cotton by doing nway
with futures.
“Sssms a Good Business."
R. A. Crawford, another cotton ex
porter from Savannah, gave testimony
along the line of Mr. Stewart.
He was asked If he was Interested
In any wire house.
"Not now. I hope to be," was the
reply.
"Pretty good business, ain't it?"
naked Senator Wheatley.
“Seems to be up In north Georgia."
"Your refer to Cheatham. Fairchild
& Co? asked Senator Wheatley.
Mr. Crawford laughed, but did not
reply. .
If the bill passed, he asserted. It
would ruin tho exporting of cotton In
Georgia, and that the houses In this
stnte would carry the business
Charleston.
"Tell me how It Is that the cotton
exchange shows 500,000,ooo bales
bought nnd sold on nn actual crop of
10.000,000 bales?” asked Scab Wright.
“Evidently they overloaded.” was the
repjy.
Mr. Anderson's Argument.
Mr. Anderson began his argument for
the substitute by reading a letter from
H. C. Arnold, a large planter and cot
ton dealer, of Newnan, In which he
said that the closing of legitimate ex
changes would seriously hurt his busi
ness.

substitute read here gues further than
either of the other two. and draws a
very clear distinction between legiti
mate exchanges and bucket shops.
"This bill will put the farmer and
the turpentine denier back flftcco vears
nnd place both at a fearful disadvan
tage."
His argument was strong and re
vived the closest attention.
"Substitute No Good."
Seaborn Wright closed the argument
by advocating the Hoyktn bill. He said
re came over to do ao at the request
>f the author,
"The bill Introduced here by my
friend (Wheatley) has be'en hawked
about every legislature In the country.
It stops nothing. It stops little gam
bling and legltlinntlses big gambling."
He said . that the Boykin hill waa
modeled after the North Carolina law,
and that It had stopped gambling there
nnd hurt no mills.
A letter from Governor Glenn to Mr.
Boykin said that It had stopped specu
lation nnd had not hurt legitimate cot
ton business. The people favored the
bill.
"It Is all marginal gambling. These
men nrc the only ones here lighting this
bill to stop gambling. No farmers are
here, no cotton mill men are here."
He read resolutions Indorsing the

■YOU NEGROES IN THE NORTH
LET SOUTHERN NEGRO ALONE’
By Private Leased Wirt.
Washington, Aug. 8.—Rev. A. J.
Cobb, of Bamesvllte, Ga., at the Negro
Young People's Christian Congress,
aroused a great deal of applause, but
evidently set himself at odds with the
leaders of hls race by declaring him
self a friend of the white man, and,
turning to those who dally occupy the
platform, said:
"Don't you like this? Whether you
do or not, It Is true.”
That part of hls speech to which he
referred was: "You negroes In the
North let the Southern negro alone. He
can take care of himself. He Is a
friend of the white man, and the white
man Is a friend of hls. You discuss
racial problems, never forgetting to
bring the white man In. Let him
stone. Stop antagonizing him and
mind my words, he'll be your friend.
Why, down South I have actually for
gotten that I was a black man until I
looked Into the looking glass. You
just let us Southern negroes alone, we
will take care of ourseles."
Rev. H. H. Proctor, of Atlanta, Ga.,
discussing hls subject, “What Can Be
Done to Eradicate Prejudice and Bring
About Better Feeling?” said the prob
lem hinged on money. "First, make
prejudice unprofitable,” he declared.
“The courts deny us our rights; pub
lic doors are closed to us; Jim crow
cars are built for us; all simply be
cause It pays."
The speaker then referred to the per
petration of outrages:
"Let that man who lays unholy
hands on a woman die the death of a
fiend,” he shouted.
N. Y. VICE CRUSADER RAIDS
THE ART STUDENTS' LEAGUE
CRUSADE OF W. C. T. U.
ROUTED BY MIRTH
8|M*clnl to Tho Georgian.
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 8.—Local
newspapers have had so much fun
with the W. C. T. U. regarding Its .cam
paign against the "peek-a-boo’’ waists
and short skirts on bathing suits, that
the reformers have decided to abandon
the warfare and allow the fair wearers
of the tantalising habllamcnts to go
to their doom.
The crusaders say they have not
changed their views In the least, but
admit they cannot stand the broad
sides of mirth directed at them. The
movement against the airy fairy waist*
wan brought to a point, when, at the
recent W. C. T. V. convention at Long
Beach, one of the young, buxom mem
her* of the Los Angeles union arose to
read a paper on the baleful Influence
of cocktails, with her plump, pink
shoulders showing through the open
work of a stunning "peek-a-boo."

By Private leased Wire.
New York, Aug..8.—Dog days being
off season for the vice-suppressing
business, the best thing Anthony Com
stock could think to do today was to
take a patrol wagon and raid the rooms
of the Art Students’ League at 215
West Fifty-seventh street. When the
wagon drove off It was filled with all
the catalogues of the school that the
vice crusader could find In the buildr
ing.
A young woman bookkeeper. Miss
Anna Robinson, the only person the
veteran raider could find who seemed
to be In charge, was haled to the police
court a prisoner on. a "Jane Doe" war
rant Issued by Magistrate Mayo. The
warrant was Issued on the strength
of a section of the code which provides
for the suppression of the circulation
of obscene literature.
Nearly all the best known artists are
out of town, but the few who could be
found last night were Indignant over
the raid, and talked about taking steps
to find out whether the vice suppres
sor had any right to enter the school
and walk off with the catalogues before
they had been adjudged a violation of
the criminal statutes by a police mag
istrate.
The Art Students League is one of
the best known art schools In the
country, having as instructors Kan-
yon Cox, Frank Vincent DumomJ, Gil
son Borglum, George B. Brldgeman, Al
ice Becklngton, Edwin C. Taylor and
Thomas Fogarty. In the book selxed
there are but two pages devoted to the

KAISER ASSERTS"RED DANGER"

B.r Private Leased Wire.
Paris, Aug. 3.—The Matin publishes
nn Interview with Emperor William of
Germany, In which hls majesty says
that the "yellow peril" was not the sole
danger threatening the world, there be
ing also the "red danger."
The emperor said Preetdent Fallertea
run* the same risks as King Alfonso
from assassination.
The correspondent states that at the
Kiel regatta the kalaer, speaking to a
French naval officer, said:
"It la freely reported that I am
pleased when I learn that Borne fresh
scandal has broken out In the.French
army. It la absolutely .false. We live
too closely together, and our national
lives are too Intermingled for us not
to feel an evil occurring to any single
member. Any harm befalling the
French army Alls me with uneasiness.
Anti-militarism Is an International

‘ALABAMA IS TO BECOME

Washington, Aug. 3.—‘.‘Alabama Is to
become the Pennsylvania of the
South," said Charles F. Scofield, of
Bridgeport, Ala., at the Raleigh.
'The northern portion of our etate

Scofteld. "Through the efforts of Mr.
Richardson, congress at the last ses
sion passed legislation that will enable
the people to utilise the enormous wa-
:er power of Muscle shoals, on the
Tennessee river. At Shell Mound we
will have 1'10,000-horse power, and In

port 56,000-horse power.
"Those who know nothing of cotton
production," he snfd, "naturally sup
pose that that staple could he grown
only In lowlands. We prove the con
trary to be true around Bridgeport. On
the tup ot the mountains we have a
broad plateau as level as the cotton
plant aliens further south. Upon this
we have been growing the finest grade
