Rio ds Janeiro, Aug. 1.—Laying ths
crfrce of state aside. Secretary of State
Root, of the United Btates, together
with the other delegates to the Pan-
American congress and pretty much
all of official Rio, went to the races
yesterday and apparently enjoyed
themselves. A general holiday was
observed, and a great crowd saw the
rares. One of the horses was named
In honor of the distinguished vleltor,

SENATE COMMIT!E HEARS
DEBATE ON BOYKIN BILL
Public Discussion of the Measure Took
Four Hours Time Thursday
Afternoon.
Up
Four hours Thursday afternoon,
from a to 7 o'clock, the senate Commit
tee on agriculture lletened to argu
ments for and against the Boykin
sntl-bucket shop bill.
And no vole was reached after the
long discussion. Ths senate chamber
was well well filled when the meeting
began at a o'clock, and many of ths
spectators remained throughout.
Chairman Hogan, Senators Miller,
Ware, Williams, Hand, Wheatley,
Furr, Reid, Parker, Walker, Fltsger
aid, Crum, Peyton and Rose, of the
committee were present. Mr. Roykln
was present throughout, and though
he did not speak, frequently Interro
gated the witnesses.
8am Jonas Opened Debate.
Sam D. Jones, president of the cham
ber of commerce, opened with the
statement that the directors of the
chamber met on July 3, heard both
sides and passed resolutions endors
ing the movement to do away with
bucketshops.
"I hope ths legislature of Georgia
will take such high stand In this mat
ter that there will be ho question as
to Its meaning and purpose.
"Every transaction of this character
begins or ends In a gamble. In many
Instance It begins with a gamble and
ends with one.
‘I do not think the legislature can
afford to If cense any business that fs
a gamble. Whether It Is a big bucket
little bucket the result Is ths
same. Anything that Is morally
wrong cannot be politically right.
"If business Interests are cut up by
tbla law business will find other chan
nels to right Itself.
"I buy pig Iron, but there Is no ex-
ange or bucket shop where I do or
a deal. One year I sold stoves when
Iron was at 37, and It went to 316. but
I was protected by a clause In my
contract.
"I do not believe the life of cotton
manufacturing depends upon this
business. It can adjust Itself easily.
Gentlemen, get out of this valley yuu
are now In.
'We are dodging between n bucket-
shop and a warehouse, a right and
wrong. Go high enough and you will
see tne right and do It.”
Orr Favors Bpykln Bill.
J. K. Orr, president of the Atlanta
Credit Men's Association, spoke next.
Today almost universally ths credit
man Is the ultra-conservative man In
his business. When I see them es
pouae any causa I am satisfied that It
bears a doss relation to the general
good.
'The credit man Is the barometer of
business. When they have been Im
pressed with the necessity for legisla
tion on this subject I am almost willing
to endorse It without Investigation.
"In recent years they have been
hampered by reporta of holding cot
ton. It develops In a large percentage
of rases that those so reporting are
holding for speculative purposes...

There Is a fever of speculation over
the country. Even In small towns
there are exchanges.
Hurts All Business.,
"The credit men are 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 said ho had heard from many
cotton men and practically ull favored
the Boykin bill. , .
"It Is better to go a little too far and
right a great evil than do nothing. If
Georgia passes this bill It will taka
a great stride forward.' 1
Mr. Akers Testifies.
J. S. Akers, of Inman. Akers A In
man, spoke next. ■
"I am here simply as a witness,
am neither for or against It. I am as
much opposed to speculation as any
member on Ibis committee. It
our business.
1 must say In Justice, however, that
colon exchanges do serve certain
legitimate transactions. We have our
agents selling cotton now for futuro
delivery. If they sell at certain price*
for delivery It Is wired into us.
"1 at once wire to cover on this
sale, 1 buy a contract to cover this
sale, nnd If l lose on one I make on
the other. W* do actually buy for the
contract, nnd then sell out at such and
such a figure." . ,
He explained In detail the method of
dealing In cotton by actual contracta
Would Not Hurt Him.
Asked In what way the bill would
affect his business he said he did not
know that It would at all. He said It
would be more convenient for hint to
have the exchanges here to deal
through.
"Through the houses an order can
je executed In about 3 minutes. By
Private wire It would require 15.
Hedging Is necessary to my business."
He said hs ^Inclined to the belief
that exchanges made for a better
price In cotton, and tended to enhance
values.
"Doesn't the country lose more on
those speculations than It makes?"
asked Senator Retd.
"I am a fro hi It does, though I have
> direct Information on It."
Mr. Akers was subjected to a run
ning lire of questions from Seat)
Wright, Mr. Anderson and members of
the rommltee.
Mr. Boykin asked him If the Ander
son substitute would stop lllegltlmatt
speculation In cotton.
"No, i do not think so/* was ths re
ply.
Hsrvis Jordan Speaks.
Harvle Jordan, president of ths
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 to stop bucket shops.
"There Is a moral 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 the floor
Mr. Anderson made certala charges
against the Southern Cotton Associa
tion. He admits that It was done to
defeat the Boykin bill. That should
be argument enough to pais It.
"f 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.
"Ths business of dealing In cotton
futures Is growing enormously In this
country, particularly among farmers.
They are being Induced to sell their
spots and buy futures and put up the
margins. Nine-tenths of the people
who deal with these places lose.
“I ask you In my official capacity
to pass this bill and lee Georgia go
before the country leading In this
great moral question. If you do It, I
give you my word that within two
rears nearly every Southern state will
lave followed.
'The contention we make Is that
breaking up these concerns will not
seriously Interfere with business In
Oeorgla."
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 are here simply to furnish
Information 7" asked 8eph Wright.
"No, they are here for business."
"There would be no profit to the
houscB without speculation?"
"Not altogether. They do a certain
legitimate business."
He said ho did not agree altogether
with Mr, Akers that these houses de
pended absolutely on speculation.
Mr. Anderson nskeil him If wire
houses could not survive In a place
where a million and a Quarter bales
were handled, as In Savannah, by le-

IIo said he thought the farmer would
get less for his cotton by doing away
with futures. i
“Seems s Good Business."
R. A. Crawford, another cotton ex
porter from Savannah, gave testimony
along the line of Mr. Stewart. -
He waa asked If he was Interested
In any wire house.
"Not now. 1 hops to be," was the
reply.
"Pretty good business, ain't It?"
asked Senator Wheatley.
"Seems to be up In north Georgia."

Lo?" asked Senator Wheatley.
Mr. Crawford laughed, but did not
reply.
If the bill panned, he asserted, ..
would ruin the exporting of cotton In
Georgia, and that the houses In this
stale would carry the business

"Tell me how It la tlmt the cotton
change shows soo.ooo,non hales
bought nnd sold on an actual crop of
10.000,000 bales?" asked Senb Wright.
"Evidently they overloaded,” was the
reply.
Mr. Andtrson’s Argument.
Mr. Anderson began hla argument for
the substitute by reading n letter from
H. < . Arnold, a large planter and cot-
‘°n dealer, of Newnan. In which he
aald that the closing of legitimate ex-
rhnngea would seriously hurt hit busi
ness.
A telegram from Henry Hull, a
prominent Havannah merchant, pro
testing against passage of the Boykin
bill, was also rend.
Mr. Anderaon said that so far as he
could ascertain there were only four
legitimate exchanges In Atlanta, and
they are Ware A Leland, Hubbard
Bros., Edmond & Charles Randolph and
Olbert ^ Clay.
"The Boykin bill Is too radical. Le*
gltlmate lines of business should not
be Interfered with. Senator Wheatley's
substitute rend here goes further than
either of the other two, and draws a
very clear distinction between legltl-
mate exchanges nnd bucket shops.
"This hill will put the farmer and
the turpentine dealer back fifteen years
and place both at a fearful disadvan
tage/'
His argument was strong and re
ceived the closest attention.
"Substitute No Good."
Seaborn Wright closed the argument
by advocating the Boykin bill. He said
he came over to do so at the request

.Washington, Aug. 3.—Rev. A. J.
Cobb, of Barneavllle, 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 his 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 hi* speech to which he
referred was: "You negroes In the
North let the Southern negro alone. He
can take care vt himself. He Is a
friend of the white man, and the white
man Is a friend of his. You discuss
racial problems, never forgetting to
bring the white man In. Let him
alone. Stop antagonising 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.”
s Rev. H. H. Proctor, of Atlanta, Ga.,
discussing his subject, "What Can Be
Done to Eradicate Prejudice and Bring

lem hinged on money. "First, make
prejudice unprofitable," he declared.
"The courts deny us our rights; pub
lic doors arc closed to us; Jim crow

"The bill Introduced here hy my
friend (Wheatley) has been hawked
about every legislature In the country.
It stops nothing. It stops little gam
bling and legitimatizes big gambling."
He said that the Boykin bill was
modeled after the North Carolina law,
and that It had atoppctl gambling there
and hurt no mill*.
A letter from Governor Glenn to Mr.
Roykln said lhat 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 are tho only one* here lighting this
bill to atop gambling. No farmer* are
here, no cotton mill men are here."
He read resoluttona Indorsing the
Boykin bill. He also read quotations
from one of Tom Lawson's "Frenzied
Finance" articles. Once when Mr. An
derson wished to ask him a question
Mr. Wright declined to be Interrupted.
How Has South Stood It?
"How in ths name of heaven, the
South has stood the drain of the In
surance companies, the drain of pen
sions nnd the drain of this marginal
gambling Is beyond human under
standing. only her marvelous resources
account for It.
-Until t investigated I thought the
bucket shops were devils, nnd the ex-
changes saints. But they nre all alike.
It all goes In the pockets of the seen,
smart gamblers In the North and Bast.
"Let's do what North Carolina did—
drive thetn out. Not one but all. Our
people are the lamb* led to the slaugh
ter."
Hewlett Hall, attorney for the ex
changes, closed the speech-making,
and at 7 o'clock the committee ad
journed without reaching a vote.

ation of the bill Monday afternoon at

take a patrol wagon and raid the rooms
of the Art Students' League at 215
West Fifty*seventh iftreet? When the
wagon drove off It was filled with all
the catalogues of the school that the
vice crusader could find In the bulldr
Ing.
A young womhn bookkeeper, Miss

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. Tho
warrant was Issued on the strength
of a section of the code which provides
for the suppression of the circulation

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.
