Impeachment Articles May
Be Entered Against Judge
Emory Speer, of Georgia
Resuk of Investigation of De
partment of Justice Present
ed to Housfe Committee in
.Secret Session
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—That a
move is under way which may result
in an attempt to impeach Judge Emory
Speer, of the United States district
court for south Georgia, was learned on
good authority today. It is believed
probable that when the house meets
next Friday a resolution may be intro
duced reqcesting the attorney general
to submit to the house the report of
a recent investigation of Judge Speer
by special agents of the department of
justice. ,
. Attorney General McReynolds declin
ed to discuss the Speer case in any of
its phases when seen this morning. He
would neither confirm nor deny that
the report of special inspectors^ had
been received and considered by him.
It was learned, however, that the re
port is in, and that President Wilson
has been apprised of its contents by
the attorney general.
It was impossible to get in commu
nication today with Congressman Henry
D. Clayton, chairman of the house Ju
diciary committee, who will initiate the
movement in the house, if it has been
finally determined to proceed against the
Georgia jurist.
The report of special inspectors who
investigated charges against Judge Em
ory Speer has been filed with the depart
ment of Justice, and it was learned un
officially this morning that the attor
ney general intends to bring the mat
ter to the attention of congress with
the consent of President Wilson. Im
peachment proceedings may follow.
The proceedure in this case has been
the same as that followed in the early
proceedings against Judge Robert W.
Archbald, of the United States com
merce court, who was impeached and
removed from office at the last session
of congress. The charges against Judge
Speer cover a number of years.
The more serious single set of charges
refer to the manner in which bankrupt
cases have been handled. The depart-
' ment of justice investigator alleges that
Judge Speer appointed his son-in-law,
an attorney named Hayward, in many
cases, and that Hayward has dissipated
estates and charged unfair fees for
his services. The report of the inves
tigator charges further tha,t Hayward
has become relatively wealthy through
handling this class of litigation.
There are numerous allegations In
volving officers of the court. The in
vestigator charges that they have been
allowed to receive unduly high fees
from litigants, through their friendship
with Judge Speer. He reports also that
Judge Speer show’ed undue preference
to clients of his son-in-law, and that
the combination thwarted justice in nu
merous cases. The report declares that
Judge Speer is temperamentally unfit
to perform the duties of his office.
Judge Speer was appointed to the
bench in 1885 after having served sev
eral terms in the .house of representa
tives, where he was a member of the
ways and means committee. He was
elected to the house as a Democrat, and
re-elected as ari independent. He finally
went over to the Republican party and
voted with the “standpatters” for high
tariff.
The house judiciary committee assem
bled in a secret session today to hear a
report of an investigation by the de
partment of justice upon the conduct of
Federal Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia,
,the Fifth circuit.
Various charges against the judge
have been brought during the last
three or four years, but the investiga
tion of which Attorney General Mc
Reynolds was to present a report today
has been conducted during the last
year by special agents.
Judge Speer, in a recent speech, de
nounced what he characterized as the
espionage of federal agent® upon judges,
and Senator Borah recently charged that
federal agents had harrassed judges by
investigations to influence their action
in cases in which the government was
interested.
Charges Are Outgrowth
Of Trial of Colonel
(By Associated Press.)
MACCCL Ga., Aug. 21.—The charges
against Judge Speer were the outcome
of the contempt proceedings against
Colonel W. A. Huff, an aged citizen ot
Macon, whose entire property has been
in litigation in Judge Speer’s court for
many years. Colonel Huff wrote a sen
sational letter to Judge Speer making
serious charges against .Speer who haa
him arrested for contempt.
When arraigned Judge Speer de
clined to hear the case but said he
would get another judge. The matter
was in statu quo for a year and when
Colonel Huff threatened to write the
judge another letter, Judge W. 1.
Grubb, of Birmingham, was ordered
here to try the case. He declared Col
onel Huff guilty of contempt of court,
but has never yet passed any sentence
on him.
Shorty after the Huff trial R. C.
Lewis and several other agents of the
department of justice came to Macon
and spent several weeks going over
Judge Speer’s record, interviewing liti
gants in the courts and other attorneys.
Judge Speer at present is at hi® sum
mer home in Mount Airy, Ga.

Rejection of Plan Presented by
Envoy Places Burden of
New Proposals on U, S,
MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Aug. 21.—
Further negotiations looking to a peace
ful settlement of the Mexican situation,
in the wake of Provisional President Hu
erta’s rejection of President Wilson’s
proposal ns submitted by his personal
representative, John Lind, would appear
now to depend upon Washington. If the
United States government were willing
to reopen the controversy, there is every
reason to believe that the Mexican gov
ernment would be willing.
An official statement from Frederico
Gamboa, Mexican foreign minister, says
that negotiations between Mr. Lind and
the Mexican government have not been
entirely broken off but that they *re
"being continued confidently.”
This statement was given to represen
tatives of the Mexican newspapers for
local publication this morning. It was
the first news given to the local press
since Monday morning.
Mexico's reply to the United States,
while couched in diplomatic language,
was a definite rejection of # President
Wilson’s proposals as presented by John
Lind.
Unless the Washington government
sees fit to submit new propositions, it
is considered here that the negotiations
will be closed. What the Mexican gov
ernment may do appears largely a psy
chological problem.
URRUTIA’S STATEMENT.
The statement made by Dr. Urrutla.
minister of the interior on Monday
night and subsequently denied, that the
United States had been given until
Tuesday night to recognize the Huerta
administration, is taken to indicate the
attitude of at least a portion of the
Mexican government. But the con
servative element appears to have won
the upper hand and is showing a ten
dency to continue friendly relations with
Mr. Lind.
President Wilson’s envoy today is
awaiting: instructions from Washington.
He still is optimistic and believes that
the Mexican government may yet elect
to entertain President Wilson’s peace
proposals.
Regarding the character of notes ex
changed between the two governments,
Mexican officials refuse to enter into
any discussion.
The Mexican government has sent to
each of the foreign legations in Mexico
City a note in which it was stated that
the negotiations with Mr. Lind were con
tinuing In a cordial manner and denying
that Minister Urrutla had made any
statement which might be regarded as
an ultimatum to the United States.
Personal relations between President
Wilson’s emissary and the members of
the government here are friendly.
Mr. Lind last night 3ent the Mexican
foreign office a message of condolence
over the loss of life in the explosion at
Tacubaya where nearly 100 persons were
killed.

A state-wide investigation of milk in
order to secure a pure supply has been
institued by Dr. R. E. Stallings, the
state chemist. He has taken up first
the dairies of Atlanta and the neighbor
ing small towns that supply milk to the
city, and is making rigid tests to find
out whether or not the milk complies
with the requirements of the pure food
laws of the state.
When the survey of Atlanta and the
neighboring towns is completed, an in
vestigation will be started in each of the
smaller towns and cities, and every
dairy which does not comply with the
rules of sanitation and the milk stand
ards will be ordered to clean up and
supply better milk. If the order is not
obeyed the owners will be prosecuted.
That the improvement may be perma
nent, a periodic inspection will be made,
and samples will be regularly tested
from all the dairies.
This is the first work that has. been
done in the new bacteriological labora
tory which has been recently added to
the chemist’s facilities'. The in
vestigation of the milk is under the im
mediate direction of K. W. Atkins, a new
member of the chemist’s staff. life has
many samples which would be of inter
est to the housewives and mothers of
the city, and on request the samples and
results of the investigations will be
shown.
That there was need for this com
prehensive test of the milk supply has
been proved by the findings even in the
beginning, the experiments showing dirt
in milk, watered milk, and a high bac
terial count.
Ordinarily the bacterial count in milk
should not run higher than 100,000 to a
third of a teaspoon, says the milk spe
cialist, and some of the samples have
shown a bacterial count as high as
22,000,000.
The new laboratory is splendidly
equipped, and is one of the best in ex
istence.
T; J. Bryan, who was state chemist of
Illinois until his resignation at the flrsi
of this month, was in the city Tuesday.
He went over the new laboratory, and
praised the equipment highly.
Mr. Bryan is making a tour of the
southern states.
Proposed Line Will Run
Through Some of Richest
Sections of State
COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 21.—A new rail
road line across the state, connecting Co
lumbus with Augusta, is now proposed,
and those back of the movement are
quite enthused over the Idea, in view of
the fact that the proposed line is to pass
through many of the rich counties of
the state.
Tt has just been learned that the trade
bodies of Columbus, Augusta, Talbotton,
Thomaston, Forsyth, Monticello, Eaton-
ton, Greensboro, Washington and other
points have been in correspondence re
garding the feasibility of constructing
such a line, and they have taken up the
matter with R. L. Williams, an attorney
of Macon,who has been urging the im
portance of building the new road.
In the letter of Mr. Williams, he gives
interesting data regarding the richness
of the country through which the new
road would pass and calls attention to the
fact that the road would not run parallel
to any existing railroad in the state.
According to the figures of Mr. Wil
liams, the road would be about 240 miles
in length. He calls atention to the fact
that the proposed route would cause the
railroad to cross the Ocmulgee river at
Juliette, where the largest grist mill in
the country is located. This mill has a
capacity of 10,000 bushels a day. It is
also rioted that granite and marble quar
ries are contemplated at the vast deposits
at this point, which, with the railroad,
could be developed into one of the larg
est in the world.

Baseball Scores
Rival Mexico in
President’s Mind
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Not even
the tense situation in Mexico avails to
dull President Wilson’s keen interest in
the tense situation in the baseball strug
gle. After spending a busy day over the
Mexican situation the president last
night suddenly realized he had hot
learned the scores—especially the result
of the Washington-Cleveland game.
“Let us go and find out,” he Is re
ported to have said to his physician, Dr.
Cary Grayson, at the same time reach
ing for his hat. The two left the White
House and strolled down Pennsylvania
avenue closely followed by the secret
service men.
The president led the way to the score
board in front of a morning newspaper
office and studied the baseball results.
When he discovered that Washington
had defeated Cleveland after a ten-in
ning struggle he smiled his satisfaction.
The little group then strolled back to
the White House. The president wore
his famous white linen suit and jaunti
ly swung a cane.
PERRY’S FLAGSHIP IS
VIEWED_BY THOUSANDS
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Commodore
Perry’s reconstructed flagship Niagara,
which was brought to Chicago last Sat
urday as the central figure in the Perry
centennial celebration and water car
nival, was towed from its anchorage off
Grant park to a dock at the foot of
Randolph street today to make it more
accessible to the public, and visitors
were admitted to the boat free. Thou
sands of school children inspected the
flagship today.
More than 80,000 visitors have visit
ed the craft since its arrival in the
Chicago harbor. One of the most inter
ested spectators of the ceremonies is
Mrs. Lynn J. Browning, 472 West End
aevnue, New York City, great-great-

from New York to inspect the restored
vessel.
DESERTED BARK IS
REPORTED BY CREW
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Deserted
by her crew as unseaworthy, the bark
St. Catherine lies at anchor in an iso
lated harbor on the Atlantic coast. The
revenue cutter service has been ap
prised of this by radiogram from Cap
tain W. E. Reynolds, commander of the
Bering sea fleet.
The fact that high wages could be
obtained in the salmon fisheries at
Ugaship, Alaska, is believed to have
lured away the crew of the bark. Her
owner, unable to sign another orew, ap
pealed to the revenue cutter service for
aid. A cutter with a commander and
United States marshal has been ordered
to investigate.

SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 21—Fifty-four
passengers who sailed from Seattle on
the steamer State of California last Wed
nesday night were booked for Juneau and
Skagway, and presumably were on the
ship when it struck a rock and sank in
Gambler bay, Alaska. Sunday morning.
Twenty-two passengers were taken on
board at Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Pe
tersburg, jWrangele and other points, and
these also were on the boat at the time
of the disaster, making a total of seven
ty-six passengers. Forty-three passen
gers were rescued and taken to Juneau
by the steamer Jefferson, leaving thirty-
three, who probably have perished. Sev
en of the crew are dead, making the to
tal dead forty.
These figures were given by the Pacific
Steamship company. They cannot be ver
ified by the purser, who lost all his rec
ords. It Is possible that some of the fif
ty-four passengers booked to sail from
Seattle changed their minds at the last
moment.
D C. Perkins, the first wireless opera
tor, who is among the lost, was the son
of a wealthy San Francisco family. He
took up the study of wireless because of
the opportunities it afforded for adven
ture and a chance to see the world. \
Those who survived escaped with only
the clothes they had on when the
steamer struck. Many were in their
night robes.
The loss of life was caused more by
wreckage than by drowning, according
to Captain Thomas H. Cann, Jr., the
master, who said the upper works of the
ship broke up and caught many people.
It was in this way that Miss Lillian
Ward, daughter of Edward C. Ward, of
Seattle, assistant manager of the Pacific
Coast Steamship company, lost her life.
A mast falling as the upper works were
carried away struck her as she stood
on the deck. She was taken off in a
small boat and later put aboard the
Alaska Steamship company’s steamer
Jefferson, but died before that vessel ar
rived here Sunday night.
So quickly did the ship sink after she
struck the rock that Captain Cann bare
ly had time to run her toward the rock
beach at Bambier bay before she hit
the bottom. The wireless operators did
not have a chance to summon aid, but
boats from a cannery put out from
shore and assisted the crew of the
wrecked steamer in picking up the peo
ple floating among the wrecKage.
Two gas boats were obtained from
the cannery ahd were sent to Peters
burg for aid, while the other headed to
ward Juneau, meeting the Jefferson,
which proceeded to the scene of the
wreck and picked up the survivors.

You will find all styles and sizes in the I H C spreader line. They
will cover the ground with a light or heavy coat, as you choose, but
always evenly, up hill or down. There are high and low machines,
with steel frames, endless or reverse aprons, but always giving best

MOUNTAIN ACREAGE IS
IN EXCESS OF SURVEYS
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.—More land
actually is tucked away in southern Ap
palachian and White mountain regions
than hitherto has been suspected, the
forest service announced today, basing
its declaration on reports from its sur
veying "parties in the field. The sur
veys are being made with a view to the
purchase of the lands by the govern
ment for forest reservation purposes.
The acreage, on the whole, exceeds by 1
per cent the estimate placed on the
tracts offered for sale.
“In certain instances,” forest serv
ice officials declared, “the discrepancies
of the old surveys, made generally with
a compass and by surface measurements,
are much more than this amount. Such
an instance is that of a tract in north
eastern Tennessee, supposed by the own
ers to contain 850 acres. The survey by
the forest service made with a transit
and by horizontal measurements, credits
the land with 1,482 acres.”
Antiquated methods of measurement
were so Inadequate that the government
surveyors found frequent underesti
mates of frdm 6 to 8 per cent.
MIDDLE WEST FRUIT IS
KILLED BY GREAT HEAT
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 21.—Fruit
growers of Northeast Kansas and
Northwest Missouri say the apple crop
which had promised to break records
will be little better than a failure, be
cause of heat and lack of rain. Scat
tered showers in some sections have
given the corn a chance to mature but
yesterday’s temperatures in many parts
of Kansas were still above a hundred
and promised to pass that mark again
today.
Despite circumstances, reports reach
ing Kansas City and Topeka show only
few cases of discouragement among
the farmers. In many instances corn
had been ruined but there is the wheat
crop and a cutting or two of alfalfa
safely stowed away before the drought
developed.

pistol and shotgun fight between the
two men in which Claude McDonald
killed Hinton McDonald. It is said that
Hinton claimed to be a half-brother of
Claude, kinship which the latter denied
There had been ill feeling between the
two families some time, intensified by
Claude’s dog chasing Hinton’s calf, over
w’hich the two fought last ’night.
There were two periods of shooting,
in the first of which either was injur
ed. Hinton, having exhausted his pis
tol ammunition, got a shotgun. Return
ing, he emptied the shotgun at Claude
without effect, and Claude returned the
fire with his revolver, killing Hinton.
Sheriff Moreland went to the scene
from JLeesburg last night, and Clauda
surrendered. A coroner’s jury held an
inquest last night and this morning, re
turning a verdict o finvoluntary man
slaughter. Claude Hinton is in jail at
Leesburg, but will probably be released
under bond today.
The killing occurred on E. J. Stocks’
place, six miles from Albany.
