All this goes to conllrm the report given nut earlier In the day that the exar had decided upon a military dic tatorship for the empire.

Colonel Alexandroff waa killed, re volver In hand: Captain Tvroechlneky was hayonetted and brained with the butt of a rifle. The rear admiral died last night of severe wounds, secured In » hand-to-hand fight with the muti neers. A feature of the Cronstadt revolt was the crowd of women who joined the mutineers. They were armed with all aorta of weapons and put up a most ferocious fight. Plan is Frustrated. After the first success the mutineers were scattered. Some took refuge In houses or on the roofs and attacked the loyals from then points of vant age. They were quickly dislodged, how ever, and compelled to surrender. Some attempted to nlze boats and make ’heir escape In this way. but this plan Was also frustrated. , .tjeveral more publications have been either seized or xupprexaed, among the cumber being the Rech. the Ravltztvale and the Eketrana. £0000000000000000000000000 0 ANDERSON SATISFIED 0 0 WITH THE DECI8ION.

Richard Cheatham, who was censured and condemned by the inventi gating committee Thursday afternoon had not tendered his resignation ns secretary of the ns sociation Friday afternoon, was stated at the offices of the cotton association, that there had been no developments of- interest to the public. President Harvie Jordan left Thursday night for a short vaca tion which he will spend with his family. It was stated that he would return in about ten days When the Investigating committee submitted Its report to President Har vie Jordan late Thursday afternoon It condemned Richard Cheatham, secre tary of the Southern Cotton'Associa tion, In unmistakable terms. While it made no recommendations for his dis missal and left the report In the hands of the national committee. It so ex pressed Its opinion of the conduct of Richard Cheatham as to leave that body no loophole of escape from de cisive action. ‘‘Such action meets our strongest disapproval and and condemnation.* were the words used In commenting on Cheatham's admitted operations In the cotton exchange under the names of O'Grady and Lee. We find no reasonable excuse or reason for the use by him of the word 'secretary' after his name signed In checks In these tranactlons. but believe It to be a wrong against the associa tion whose secretary he was, and this meets the same condemnation as ubove.’ This was the finding on the use of Cheatham's official signature to checks In 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. A. Fairchild, an employee of this associa tion, for he was unquestionably no more, no less, we make the same find ing as to him." It was evident after the close of the evidence that the Investigating com mute could not choose but find that Cheatham had acted against the policy of the association. In spite of the fact that but little apparent effort waa mads by those members of the commit tee moat In the foreground to draw out damaging evidence, Mr. Cheatham's own admissions were sufflclrnt, with out other evidence, to make a case against him.- There were members of the committee who said but tittle, but who listened quietly and seemed strongly Impressed by theevldence pre sented. When the committee returned to the office of Chairman Johnson, In the Empire building, at 2 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 12:10 o’clock and did not return. Mr. Smith did not return to the room after the adjournment for luncheon, when he stated the deliberations were completed. Colonel Peek left shortly after 2 o'clock, leaving the completion of the report to Chairman Johnson and Secretary Seymour. The report, which waa a typewritten document covering about two pages, was not made public 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 cnnSmlttee met In ex ecutive zexslon, with only a xtenogra- WHAT WILL THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE DO WITH HIM? ACTIONS OF, CHEATHAM STRONGLY CONDEMNED BY COMMITTEE OF FIVE “We your committee believe,^as oxir states have to establish rules of law becaxisc of public policy, it is the soundest public policy that this asso ciation condemn in the strongest language possible dealing in futures for themselves or others on the part of auy officer or officers or employees of this association, or being in any way, by the owning of stock or otherwise, interest ed in any concern dealing in cotton futures, buying or selling same. “Mr. Cheatham, the secretary, having admitted to your committee such dealing in the name of and for Michael O’Grady and P. A. Lee, comes within this rale, and such action on his part, while an officer of this association, meets our strongest disapproval and condemnation. Your committee further finds no reasonable excuse for or reason for the use of, by him, of the word “sec retary” after his name, signed to cheeks in these transactions, but believe it to have been misleading and a wrong against the association, whose secretary he was, and this meets the same disapproval and condemnation as above; ap plying this same mile to Mr. A.

FOUND CONDITIONS TO BE HORRIBLE AT BETTIS’ PLACE Committee Meets Friday Afternoon to Consid er New Ordi nances. An Impromptu Inspection of a num ber of the local meat concerns was made Thursday afternoon by some of the members of the special committee appointed to Investigate the prevailing conditions. The Investigation was brought to a audden end by two of the party be ing made so 111 by the condition of one of the slaughter houses that they went home. Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock the committee will hold seaalon and from what can be gathered from those w ho took the trip Thursday, evidence rival ing the moat aensatlonal brought nut In the Chicago Investigation will bo given. Chairman Walter A. Taylor, George H. Sima, J. H. McEachern, Chief John Jentsen, Meat Inspector A. Waseer and C. R. Joljy formed the Inspecting par ty. The following-named places were visited: Quick McDaniel's, on Fair street; Wolfshelmer'a, at Reynoldstown; the Sawtell Packing House, at Lakewood: the Miller Union stock yards and Ilettls' slaughter' house, back of Clark University. Without exception, the conditions were found unsanitary at each of the slaughter houses. Chief Jentxen stated Friday, when aaked about the places, that "McDan iel’s waa In bad shape. The floors were clean, but the surrounding conditions were exceptionally bad and tho odor fouL” About Wolfshelmer’a plnee he eald: "It was In very good shape compart-d to the othors." As to Sawtell's, Chief Jentsen said: "This waa the moat modern plant we Inapected. They have access to good water, have a cooling room and a void storage room. In this respect they ami alone, but the drainage waa poor and the place needed cleaning up." About the Miller Union packing house he said: "It was In pretty I shape, but like the others, thero was na place to hang the mcata." About Bettis' he said: "It .was filthy. It waa sa foul aa It would bo passible for a place to be made. It had the appearance of not having been clean'd up for a month. The entrails repaid by her toll as a scrub- „ women.

"If I could only see him and apeak with him for the last time I would be content. The thought of him dying among strangers, without one -of his own peo. jle to bid him goodbye.

Inspector Wneser Immediately on ln- spectlng Buttle' place closed It down. Last night Mr. Bettis called at In spector Washer's homo nnd naked for permission to continue to slaughter. The permission was not granted. What Inspeotion Will Do. Inspector Jensen stated Friday that although Atlanta could not build a central slaughter house this year. In spection would Improve the conditions to a great extent and that already the agitation of the question had made the slaughter house men clean.up their places to some degree. A good example of the efficiency of Inspection Is shown In tho dairies. Milk Inspector B. B. Watkins has In spected 94 dairies within the pn«t two weeks. Out of this number 84 hnv« been In "good" shape, t In “fair! g .1 shape" and only I In "bad" shape. Last year between ( and 12 cows died of Tesaa fever In nearly every herd. Thla year there has been no Texas fever because of the Improved conditions. So the Inspection Is a g -I thing both for the public at large and the operators. Provisions of Ordinance.
