Representative J. Randolph Ander
son, of Chatham, has prepared, had
printed and distributed In the senate a
personal statement of hla position on
the bucket shop'bill.. In opening this
statement he says:
"Tha Cotton Journgl of August 1, fly'
Ing at Its ’mast head as one of Its
managers the name of a detected and
condemned ‘future* speculator, makes
vicious attacks on me, and both by
cartoon and by editorials seeks to hold
me up to public contempt and obloquy
aa being the chief spokesman and de
fender of the ‘gambler In futures.'
Every efTort has been made to create
the Impression that tha'motive and
object of my opposition to the so-called
Boykin bill has been In order that soma
form of gambling contracts may be
permitted. I regret that tha chief
spokesman for tha Mil In the house has
allowed his seal as a partisan to carry
him so far aa to make statements In
which he lends himself to the effort b*
Ing made to asperse my motives, ob
Jecta and Integrity of purpose. He has
submitted no proof for these state-
menu and has never attempted to se
riously debate and answer my argu
ments, but has contented himself by
Iterating and reiterating that I am only
endeavoring to abolish the small gam'
bier and that I seek to protect the b!|
gambler, and to permit some form ol
gambling."
Mr.' Anderron asserts hla earnest de
sire to prevent gambling of every
character, and says that hla advocacy
of tha substitute now In the senate le
on the ground that It goes much fur
ther to prevent speculation than th*
Boykin blit.
He goes very fully Into the matter
and explains clearly and at length
every phase of the Issue. Hs states
that as conditions now exist that thera
are only two concerns In Georgia that
Imstt ex-
and the
Many Acquire Homes.

The case Involving duty on the fa-
mous Leeds pearl necklace, which la
the most valuable string of pearls In
America, la to be fought to a finish In
the United States courts In New York.
The government will Inetltute pro
ceedings In the United States circuit
court for tha Southern district of New
York against M. Citroen, a French
dealer In Jewelry, who Imported the
necklace, for $110,000 customs duty.
The necklace Is In il)e possession of
the government officials In New York.
William B. Leeds, the millionaire
Rock Island railway official, and his
wife are tha persona who aought to
gat fhe paarla Imported, having picked
them up In a Paris Jewelry house for
the modeet sum of $220,000. Citroen
undertook to do the Importing.
The duty on pearls set as Jewelry Is
K0 par cent, but on unstrung pearls
the duty Is only 10 par cent. In the
belief thkt h* could avoid paying the
larger amount, Citroen took the neck
lace apart and brought the pearla to
New York unstrung. Citroen paid a
duty of $22,000, or 10 par cent. Then
became known that an effort had
been madp to evade the law and the
valuable pearls ware seised and hald
by the authorities.
Overtures for a settlement of tha
case have been made to the treasury
department and declined, and the eult
to recover the $0 per cent duty Is to
be pushed U a finish. Citroen has re
tained former Judge Alton B. Parker aa
counsel to fight the government.
Citroen the other day advlaed Assist
ant Secretary Reynolds, of. the treas
ury, In charge of customs, that he
<vo"'d be glad to send the pearle back
to Franca. He Inflated, however, on
getting back tba $22,000 duty he had
paid. Thla the government would not
allow.
Jewelers all over the countiy are In
tereated In the case, for If Citroen
wins hla point all pearl* and precloux
atones In the future will be Imported
unetrung, eubject only to the 10 per
cent duty.
