Only a portion of the moss of doeu merits In Hippie’s private safe In the vault of the company have been ex amined, but they show that he had met his Immense overdrafts by forging the names of prominent business men of this city to notes for more than (200,- 00'i In some cases. For live years this had been going on, and Receiver Earle stated today that he had no Idea where Hippie's vil lainy would end. “He Was Hypocrite.” “That man," he said, "was an arch conspirator and a hypocrite of the has est sort. The church, widows and or. phans, and those associates of his In 1 church work were his victims, and even his eon. In my opinion, was vic timised In his frensled attempts to a mass a fortune at the expense of those who put him In his position of trust and honor. •'After clearing UP the affairs of this once magnificent financial Institution, which this hypocrite wrecked, the searchlight of Investigation will be turned upon Hippie’s private life, and what we have already gathered leaves no doubt In my mind that he will be found to be as degraded as were his business methods.” Directors in Panlo.

The session yester- day was marked by spirited scenes, In which charges anil counter charges of bribery were made against the two candidates. Both candidates are deter mined and there la no proapect of breaking the deadlock In sight. SEC. CHEATHAM IS BENEFICIARY Continued from Page Ont. assaults on Chcatlmm came from the enemies of this association wo dis miss the charges ns unworthy of fur ther .consideration, and denounce all charges mode against Mr. Cheatham, except what Is herelnbeforn stated, as false. "That in the future It shall constitute an offense against this association for any officer or member of the executive committee or state officer to in any way deal In futures, anil any one violating this shall be expelled from office.” An Offense in the Future. It will be noted that while In Us first Charge the report adopted dismisses the charges against Secretary Cheatham as unworthy of further consideration. In ‘ the next clause It provides that "In the future It shall constitute an offense i against this association for any officer or member of the executive committee or state officer In any way to deal In futures, and anyone violating this shall be expelled from office." Walter Clark, of Mississippi, pre sented a resolution Instructing (he president of the association to confer with counsel looking Into an Investiga tion of the cotton exchanges of the country and especially the New York cotton exchange In order to determine whether or not the system of business I employed In said exchanges, and with especial reference to the New York ex change. are not violative of the federal * laws and the laws of the state where located.” The resolution was adopted. 1 CENT DIFFERENCE IN PRICE OF COTTON FIXED BY PLANTERS Southern Cotton Association Says Ten Cents is Proper Figure—Farmers’ Union “Stands Pat” on 11 Cents. There Is a difference of just on* cent In the minimum price of cot ton fixed by the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association. In session at Hot Springs, Ark., and that fixed by the National Fanners' Educational and Co-operative Union, which la meeting at Texarkana, Ark. The cotton association has declared for 10 cents;* the Farmers' Union thinks 11 cents Is the proper price. The executive committee of the cotton association adopted resolu tions asserting that the cotton crop I* In a state of deterioration and that It will not be as great as the current estimate. The committee urges all producers of cotton not to sell the staple at a figure lass than the price of production. Members of the Farmers' Union declare they wljl stand pat for 11 cents. W CENTS FIXED AS COTTON PRICE Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. 8.—That no cotton be sold during the present year for less than 10 cents a pound, was the recommendation made by the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association, In session here. Resolutions were adopted late yester day afternoon urging all members of th* association and producers of the staple In the South to stick to this minimum price. The commutes mad* no effort to estimate the present crop, asserting FARMERS’ UNION WILL STAND PAT that It Is now In a state of deteriora tion. Th* members say, however, that they are satisfied the current estimate will not be realised. It Is understood that when the fixing of the minimum price was considered In executive ses sion there were those who favored standing out for 12 cents. The conser vative element, however, stood for 10 cents and this was adopted. Resolutions Adoptsd. Following this action the committee prepared resolutions In the shape of an address to the public. These resolu tions, signed by Walter Clark, chair man; E. D. Smith, J. A. Brown, J. C. Hickey and F. A. Maxwell, follow: ‘inasmuch as we, the cotton grow-’ ere of the South, know that there has been great deterioration In the cotton crop since August IS, and Whereas, The consensus of opinion of the members of thla committee Is that the deterioration Is atlll going on, we deem It unwise to make an esti mate of the crop at tills time. . We are satisfied that the crop will not be as large as the current estimate. Are Urged to Hold. We therefore suggest and urge upon all our members and producers throughout the' South not to sell their cotton at a figure leas than the cost of production. "Owing to the high price of the cost of living and scarcity of labor, we feci, In order for the fanner who raises cot ton to live, feed and clothe himself and family and set aside a small pittance for the Improvement of his farm, It Is necessary that cotton should not be sold below the bread and meat line, which Is 10 cents. In fixing 10 eonts per pound as the limit below which It should nut be sold, we have no reference to the crop or any Immediate condition. “Market Slowly," •We call upon all Southern Interests aid In maintaining for all time thla Texarkana, Ark., Sept. 8.—“We will stick for 11 cent*. The deterioration of the general condition of cotton /luring the last two weeks Is sufficient evi dence to prove that the union haa not placed ihe price too high." In these words President Duck worth, of the National Fanners' Edu cational and Co-operative Union, which Is In session here, announced that the union will stand pat on the minimum price for cotton fixed by it, From this It Is evident the union takes Issue with tho Southern Cotton Asso ciation’s executive committee, which, during Its session yesterday afternoon at Hot Springs, declared for a mini mum figure of io cents. Warehouse Plan Considered. Tho present session of the conven tion of the union has been replete with Interest and Importance. It la expected that adjournment will be taken tonight. The session yesterday afternoon was occupied largely with addresses and discussions of topics of vital Interest to the delegates who represent n large membership.

His address touched upon general matters. Cotton 8*«d Pries Fixtd, The draft of the proposed new con stitution has been mads and Is being considered In detail. The union has fixed a minimum price of |16 a ton for cotton seed. The price Is to obtain throughout the entire cotton belt. Much Interest Is being manlfeeted In the election of officers, which la sched uled to take place today after certain Important other business matters have been disposed of. IS 0 FOR HOKE SMITH FOR PRESIDENCY ? Indiana Man Says Soutli and West Want Him, price as a minimum. We urge the ne- ceeslty of marketing the rrop alowly and only on an advancing market, and withdraw all cotton from the market at every decline. "We appreciate and thank the press for the valued service of the post and urge those Interests of the South to as sist In every manner possible to main tain this minimum price. “We nppreclalo and thank the mer chants and bankers tor the noble man ner In which they have stood by the farmers In the past and urge a contin uation of their co-operation and sup port." Hoke Smith for the Democratic nom ination for the presidency? Is a boom for the Georgia man, who recently swept the state for governor, gathering form and substance through the South and West? General Louis T. Mlchener, former attorney general of Indiana, and a Re publican, believes so. In the New York Sun of Friday the following dispatch appears under a Washington date line: Washington, Sept. 6.—General Louis T. Mlchener, former attorney general of Indiana, who has a keen political scent, expressed the opinion today, af ter a Journey through the South and West, that Hoke Smith would probably become a popular candidate for the Democratic nomination for president If he succeeded In winning the governor ship In Georgia (which he did). Gen eral Mlchener Is a Republican, but paid a high compliment to Hoke Smith. At the Macon convention Colonel Robert L. Berner, Hoke Smith's law partner, started a storm of cheering by prartlcally placing Mr. Smith forward as the South's candidate for the presi dency, when the time was ripe for this section to name the mao. Mr. Smith's overwhelming victory In Georgia and his great fight on a reform platform has made him a potential fig ure throughout the union. The testi mony of General Mlchener Indicates that Democrats throughout ,the South and West are turning their eyes to ward the governor-elect of the Empite State of the South. “BLACK POPE’’ FOR JESUITS IS A GERMAN Father Wernz, Choice of Kaiser, General of the Order.

Thirty tlaya from next Monday the Georgia State Fair will open at Pl*d mont park, the dates being from Octo ber 10 to 20. From now on there will be a fever of activity at the grounds and In the buildings, getting everything In shape for opening day. Work has already commenced on the grounds and re pairs on the buildings. Some (2,000 will be spent In making everything shipshape. Secretary Frank Weldon la a pretty busy man these days. As a matter of fact, he hustles all the time, but along toward opening day for the fair* he la a veritable volcano of action. One car load of machinery has al ready reached the fair grounds from Wisconsin, and Falrbanks-Morse Com pany, of Chicago, have shipped. Ship ments will be coming In dally from now on, and within a short time a small army of exhibitors will be at work out at Piedmont. General disappointment Is felt that William Jennings Bryan could not ar range to como here while the fair was In progress, as the presence of the Ne braskan would have brought an enor mous crowd to the city. "Home coming week," beginning on the opening day, Is expected to brim thousands of ex-Georgians here, an. letters pouring Into Secretary Weldon Indicate that they will come from al most every state In the union. The all-day singing on October 11-12 will prove another drawing feature. Last year It was one of the til* hits of the fair, and with two days this year sing ers are expected from all over Georgia. Amusement features will be better anil of a higher class this year than ever before. The Knabenshue air ship will prove a winning feature. The two Filipino midgets will create a sensa tion here Just as they did at St. Louis and more recently at Coney Island. Most peuple will find the machine which milks two cows at once quite an Interesting novelty. Evidently the "skldoo hat" and Ice cream cone privileges are good things, from the number of people seeking the right to sell on the grounds. Secretary Weldon Is very much pleased at the, outlook for a fine class of exhibits and large attendance. IS SLAIN BY OWN EXPLOSIVE Lynn, Mass.. Sept. 8—Frank W.

The Auk took the lend Immediately, and the Carambn went Into second place. The wind continued right, at the start, and the boats all took tne port tack after starting.

He said that his boat did not hnve suffi cient way on to prevent her from touch Ing the Carnmba, ns she tncked under the lee of the latter boat. •It Is the fortune of war," said Commo dore Park. “We won a race from the Auk because the latter fouled us, and now we have evened things up, tweause. In my opin ion, the Auk will win today's race.” 8hould the Auk win the race, Monday's contest will be a mstch between the boat and the Vim for the Roosevelt cnp. either of the other four boats get first place In today's contest, then the next race will be solely for the yachts that have tsken a race.
