THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1913. 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. STATE CHEMIST BUTTLES FOR PURE MILK SUPPLY Dr, R, E, Stallings Begins Statewide Investigation of Dairies 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. Forty Perish When Ship Smashes on Alaska Rock AUGUSTA TO COLUMBUS Huff For Four Days Dog Lies Starving at Dead Master's Door (By Associated Press.)

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.

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.

(By Associated Press,) 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. jbmiSB.WW--'— Ranked at the Very Top D AVID RANKIN was a big farmer and he knew his business. He owned the largest corn farm in the world, about 35,000 acres down in Missouri. He ng.. ‘It is the most efficient money-maker on the place.” It’s warm praise to be ranked above all other farm machines, but it Is in keeping with what all the agricultural world has been recognizing. Soils rebel when crop after crop is taken from them, without return of fertilizer. Witness the abandoned worn-out farms of New England. Return every bit of manure to the soil by the spreader method. The I H C manure spreader will save you much disagreeable, hard labor, will spread evenly, and will make one ton of manure go as far as two tons spread by hand. I H C Manure Spreaders are built to suit you, to do best work for the buyer in every case, to convince him that he has made the wisest purchase. Every detail in the construction has a purpose, for which it was made after thorough tests and experiment. They have the maximum of strength and endur ance, and their construction bristles with advantages. 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 possible service. Tractive power is assured by position of the rear wheels well under the box, carrying nearly three-fourths of the load,' and by wide-rimmed wheels with Z-shaped lugs. These and many other things will interest you if you look the I H C spreader line over at the local dealer’s and will convince you that an I H C is the spreader for you to buy.

International Harvester Company of America (Incorporated) Chicago -USA 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. Fruit growers in the Arkansas river and Cow CMreek valleys near Hutchin* son, Kas., say they have saved thou sands of of dollars worth of apples and alfalfa by tapping the underflow ana taking water from the sand strata, through long strings of wells and Yes, that’s exactly what we mean.
