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.
Of course the center of the whole
controversy la the refusal of the esar
and the bureaucracy to accept the con
ditions which Stolypin made with
Count Heyden. Prince Nicholas Lvoff,
Alexander Cuchkoff, Senator Konl and
Paul Vlnogradoff to reorganize the cab

Colonel Alexandroff waa killed, re

was hayonetted and brained with the
butt of a rifle. The rear admiral died
last night of severe wounds, secured In

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

Was also frustrated.

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

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. A. Fairchild, an employee of this association,

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

“It’s terrible," she moaned. "If I

Cincinnati to see the family he had

ready to provide the money for Mrs.

Thus her lest hopes of seeing him alive

Chairman Taylor refused to discuss
the places visited, stating that he
would wait until the meeting Friday
afternoon. He atated, however, that
all Inspector Wneser had said In nnd
out of the committee room had he.. n

that he had nover touched upon.

Inspector Wneser Immediately on ln-

Last night Mr. Bettis called at In

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

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.
