Mr.. Graham asserted that Wilson
Co. was dismissed from the exchange
by the directors for untrue derogatory
statements, and 1t was in connection
with this letter that he made the state
ment concerning probable legal action
after the present hearing.
The second document was request
signed by nine members OF the ex-
change that the exchange purchase on
the New York Cotton Exchange a max
imum of $1,000 bales Of cotton. the con-
tracts to be distributed equitably over
the trading months, and sell a similar
quantity Of each position In the ring or
the American Cotton Exchange stimuli

The cotton then was to have been car

to month as positions approached ma

be increased or decreased from time to
time as might be found necessary to
maintain American quotations within

Action Alleging Conspiracy
Threatened to Follow
John Doe Hearing.
SCHEME OF RING SHOWN
Traders Wanted to Juggle
$4,000 Bales Bought on
New York's Floor.

Complaints and propaganda agains,
tie American Cotton Exchange are
the outgrowth of Interior efforts to put
the exchange out of business, testified
A. w. Graham, president, yesterday
at the John Doe hearing before Chief
Magistrate William McAdoo. Mr.
Graham said he had received infor-
nation that the downfall of the Ameri-
can Cotton Exchange was sought by
both the New York and the New
Orleans Cotton exchanges.
Two documents placed in the testi-
mony by Jerome Simmons, Assistant
District Attorney, were said to have
DETAINED or reflected on the integrity
of the American Exchange. Magis-
trate McAdoo demanded with some
heat to know what the exchange had
done to defend itself from the attacks
on its honor. Mr.. Graham said:
MY idea about it is that when this
Tearing is over we will bring an action
charging conspiracy against those who
nave attacked u.s..
Mr.. Graham was examined at length
by Mr.. Simmons, and Magistrate Nc
Adoo interrupted frequently to conduct
the questioning. Mr.. Graham said tha,
his time was occupied mostly with the
correspondence and with litigations
arising during the administration of his
predecessor in office and admitted tina,
there were numerous details of the ex-
changes business he did not know.
when you were selected for presi
dent" said Magistrate MrAdoo finally,
'it was your reputation and respecta-
bility the exchange wanted. Isn't that
just it?"
Mr.. Graham formerly was North
Carolina Judge and later was IN charge
OF the enforcement Of the cotton futures
act in New York.
Prices Follow Other Exchanges.
Among the things Mr.. Graham did
rot know was the means oy which the
exchange got its information regarding
the general market prices of cotton,
further than such prices were fixed by
the business on the floor of that ex-
change.
Mr.. Graham admitted that the prices
of the New York and New Orleans Cot
ton Exchanges were those usually ac-
cepted as indicating the price of cotton
rather than those of his own exchange.
and that the quotations of the American
Exchange tickers varied but slightly
from those of the New York Exchange,
though usually slightly higher, which.
he said, was due to the heavier overhead
of dealing in ten share units. He denied
that any members of tho American Ex-
change, to his knowledge, had bucketec
orders or otherwise violated the law.
One OF the documents introduced was
a letter alleged to have been written
by w. B. Wilson & Co. 20 T. Holt Laird
OF Greensboro, N. c.. in which Wilson
& Co. said It had decided to withdraw
from membership in the American Cot
ton Exchange and could not CON
scientiously recommend" any member OF
that exchange.
