Whma CHEATIIAM'S DENIAL Secretary Ceton AssociatiGn Under Fire SAYS HIE TRADED FOR A FRIEND Before Cotton Association Committee of Investigation, Charges That See retary Cheatham and Press Agent Fairchild sve Been Speculating in Futurez Are Preferred and Only Partialy Denied. Atlanta, Ga., Special.-Before the committee of investigation named by President Harvie Jordan to hear evi dence that certain officers of the as sociation owned an interest in a well known brokerage concern, and also have been speculating in cotton fu tures, Representative J. R. Anderson, of Cheatham county, repeated the charges made by him on the floor of the House last week. He charged that Richard Cheatham, secretary of the association, speculated in cotton futures, carrying the accounts in the names of Mike 0 'Grady and P. A. Lee. Mr. Anderson also charged that Arthur A. Fairchild, who appears as the manager of the bureau of pub licity of the association, owned one eighth of the stock of the Piedmont Brokerage Company, a concern whicl makes a specialty of cotton futures, To support these charges, Mr. An derson submitted a number of affi davits and declared that an order from Mr. Cheatham on certain brok eis would bring forth further evi dence in proof of the charges. Mr. Cheatham produced in his de fense a statement in which he de elared: "I do not at the present time, nor have I direetly or indirectly in any manner, owned any- part of or interest in a bucket shop or wire gambling house. "I have never speculated in cotton futures for my own personal gain." Mr. O'Grady of Chattanooga, was o. hand to substatntiate the charge of Mr. Cheatham that the "O'Gradv ae count" was handled for him by Mr. Cheatham merely as a personal act of friendship. Mr. Cheatham refused to reveal the identity of P. A. Lee, in whose name the other accounlt was carried. The charge that Fairchild owned an interest in the Piedmont Br-okear age Company was not deniod, al though it was declared that the in terest was disposed of some time ago. Brokerage People Testify.

Fagan admitted hav ing given Mr. Anderson the informa tion on which he based charges. The next witness was B. C. Cothran?, local manager of a broker's office. He told about Frazier telling Dr. Crawford that Mr. Cheatham was a stockholder in the Piedmont ex change. Holland Curran, who was book keeper for a brokerage firm with of fces in this city, was the star witness of the day. He declined to testify without Mr. Cheatham 's consent, whereupon Mr. Cheatham jumped to his feet and exclaimed: Cheatham Flames Up. "You arc just here for a trick. This thing has been tried on me before, and I am tired of it. You are trying to play at the wrong game." Mr. Curran flushed' up angrily. an'1 proceeded to tell what he claimed he knew, and it was that Mr. Cheatham bad bought cotton futures three times at his office. "He came to the office,'' said tihe witness, "and wanted to open an account. He did so and when we asked him what name to put the ac count he said: 'Oh, Mike will do.' 'Mike who?' he was asked, and said Jones was a good name and so the account now stands and our books as Mike Jones.'' Dr. J. M. Crawford took the stand and said he was a stockholder in the Piedmont Exchange. He said he was always positive Mr. Cheatham owr-edI stock, although he never said so di rectly. A.~ A.
