Literary Digest Carries Page
Story on Investigation of
Georgia Judge
JUDGE COBB SCORES
TREND TO MOBOCRACY
The Literary Digest of September 13
carries a page story on the recent agree
ment of the house judiciary committee
to investigate the official conduct of
Judge Emory Speer, of the United States
Court of Claims of the Southern district
of Georgia.
The Digest takes no editorial stand
in discussing the matter, but presents
the opinions of a number of the lead
ing newspapers of the country.
The article begins by quoting, from
the SpringfieTd Republican, reminders
of a speech made by Judge Speer last
June at the annual meeting of the Jowa
Bar associattion in which he denounced
“arbitrary espionage of federal judges
by goverriment spies.”
“According to the press,” continues
the article, “Judge Speer said also that
ne was the object of such espionage,
which he characterized as maltreat
ment of American judges with cruel and
apparently callous indifference to their
reputation and good name. He asserted,
further, that it was wrong and intoler
able for the United States attorney gen
eral to have inquisitorial power over
federal judges, and argued that it put
the judges at the mercy, not only of
the chief, but of the subordinate of an
executive department. Judge Speer has
unquestionably been the object of in
vestigation, remarks The Republican,
which addq; that it was begun under the
Taft administration evidently. Proceed
ing, it asks, now that the case is finally
submitted to the house judiciary com
mittee, and it is the house that insti
tutes impeachment proceedings, are we
to lose another federal judge by this
process? .
“If impeachment proceedings are
pushed against Judge Speer, in the view
of the Providence Journal, the case is
likely to be a celebrated one, for, it
observes, important cases over which he
has presided have given him a national
reputation. While professing no sort
of personal satisfaction in the movement
to impeach the judge, the Augusta, Ga.,
Chronicle pretends no sort of patience
with his high-handed record as a judge
or his insufferableb earing as a man,
yet it calls strict attention to the fact
that—
“ ‘If Judge Speer i£ to be impeached
at all, it must be solely upon his rec
ord as a judge; the indelible record, s
written down by himself during the
twenty-eight years he has been on, the
federal bench. No one may change or
alter that record. If it shows against
hi official acts that call for his im
peachment, he will be impeached; and
if it does not, he cannot be impeached.
In Address at University’s Op
ening Judge Makes Im
pressive Speech
ATHENS, Ga., Sept. 18.—The Uni
versity of Georgia formally opened its
1913-14 term Wednesday morning with
most impressive ceremonies. The entire
faculty of the university was present
upon the historic rostrum of the old
chapel in cap, gowns and the full in
signia of their various degrees of learn
ing; and, for the first time, the exer
cises were marked with much of the
striking dignity of the famous com
mencement procedure.
The feature of the morning’s exercises
was a vigorous and striking address by
Judge Andrew J. Cobb, in which he
played the present tendency toward
mobocracy and deviation from the true
dictates of the American constitution,
as manifested in the modern movemeifts
toward the election of United States
senators and judges of all sorts. In
brilliant terms he brought forth that
‘the cringing to popular passion which
characterizes our governmental changes
of today is threatening the degeneration
of a representative government into a
hotbed of v anarchy. Turning to the as
sembled faculty, he called upon them
with intense dignity to exert their pow
erful influence in checking this modern
tendency; and he stated that he believed
that the higher education of the indi
vidual of the masses was the only true
means of salvation from the evil he set
forth. •

WILSON’S CHURCH SOLD
-TO NEGRO CONGREGATION
Join Some Other Presby
terian Church Until New
Building is Finished
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—President
■Wilson is without a church, the edifice
in which he has been accustomed to
worship since he entered the White
House having been sold to a negro con
gregation. The sale was completed to
day when the Mount Carmi Baptist
congregation took over the edifice of the
Central Presbyterian church. The lat
ter congregation will build another
structure in a • more desirable neighbor
hood. y
The church, which was established in
1816, for .some time had been losing in
membership because of its location.
Situated in what originally was the cen
ter of the residence district, it lived
to see its members gradually crowded
out of their homes and remove to dis
tant parts of the city. The 6ale then
was inevitable.
President Wilson, it was reported to
day, probably will join some other Pres
byterian congregation until the Central
church is established in its own home,
when he will renew his membership.
Work on the new structure, which will
be erected in a fashionable residence
section, will be commenced at once.*

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 18.—Al
though a light rain was falling during
the ekrly part of the morning, indica
tions were that the official program of
the Grand Army of the Republic, in an
nual encampment here, would not be
seriously interfered with. Shortly after
9 o’clock veterans began to assemble
at designated posts for the annual
parade.
Missionary Ridge will be the objective
point of a majority of the veterans
and visitors this afternoon. The famous
charge up that eminence fifty years ago
will be reproduced as accurately as pos
sible with the aid of the Seventeenth
United States infantry and companies
of the national guard of Tennessee.
The maneuvers are scheduled to take
place on the west slope of the ridge,
the crest of which will be held by the
national guard und.er command of Major
C. Fred Brown. United States troops
will advance from the vicinity of Orch
ard Knob, where Commander-in-Chief
Beers and staff of the Grand Army of
the Republic will witness the maneuv
ers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Secretary
Garrison is wondering today whether
the country is so fond of the army as
he was led to believe on his recent in
spection trip. Everywhere the head of
the land-fighting force went he was as
sured of the party administration that
the army commanded. Today a letter
has awakened a suspicion in his mind
that he may have been the victim of a
general desire to please him. /
The communication was from a resi
dent of Minneapolis, detailing how three
army officers from Fort Snelling were
refused accommodations by the hotels
at Rochester, Minn., because they wore
the service uniform. The writer said
he merely passed along the information
because he had been present at the re
ception accorded the secretary in Minne
apolis, and had listened to the declara
tions of fealty to the army, and its
popularity with the people of Minne
sota. Secretary Garrison is anxious to
discover whether the incident is an iso
lated one.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—A. break of
2 1-2 points in the stock of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
on the stock exchange today carried the
price down to 85 1-2, a hew low record.
At 85 1-2 the stock showed a loss of
6 points since the close of last week.
It was 44 3-8 points under the high
price of the year, reached January 10.
The depreciation in market value repre
sented by this decline is nearly $70,-
000,000.
The stock rallied a point after touch
ing 85 1-2, and no more offerings were
pressed for sale.
The long decline in the shares, ex
tending back more than a year; grew out
of various difficulties, financial and oth
erwise, of the New Haven system and
the reduction in the dividend from 8 to
6 per cent. The intimation given recent
ly by Howard Elliott, newly elected
head of the system, that a further re
duction might be deemed advisable, is
believed to have been a factor in the
renewed decline.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Fifty
American refugees, mostly women • and
children, traveling from Torreon to em
bark on a Pacific steamer for the United
States, were reported safe today at
Zacates City.
From Durango it was reported that
after several days’ fighting, rebel forces
under Generals Contreras and Pereyra
were expelled from Gomez Palacio by
the Torreon federal garrison. The losses
were reported heavy.
Uneasiness Caused
By Indian Outbreaks
(By Associated Press.J
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Sept. 18.—Official
reports of new outbreaks among Yaqui
Indians south of Guaymas and in the
Yaqui river valley, which reached here
today, created considerable uneasiness
among Sonora state authorities. The
report stated that the Yaquis are en
gaged in continuous warfare against
the Mexicans, although they have not
molested Americans.
A prolonged battle was reported at
Buena Vista, over the possession of a
railroad connecting Toniehi with the
coast. The result is unknown. It also
is said a Mexican garrison at Ceoorit
is besieged by Indians.
AUGUST EXCAVATIONS
SHOW SMALL DECREASE
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Although
August was a busy month for the
workmen on the Panama canal, yet the
figures for excavation, just received
from the isthmus, show a smaller output
than for the preceding month. The
total .for August was 2,658,785 cubic
yards, compared with 3,241,968 yards in
July.
The explanation is found in the fact
that as the canal approached comple
tion the width of the prism remaining
to be removed rapidly diminishes and
fewer steam shovels can be operated in
the restricted space. Another factor
causing delay was the greatly increas
ed rainfall in August.
The amount of concrete placed during
August was also less than in July, for
the reason that the great lock approach
es and chambers are practically com
plete and the work now going on is
simply closing up openings left for the
convenience of the workmen in the
earlier stages of the canal’s construc
tion.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 17.—
Every indication points to a battle royal
at the Chattanooga encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic for the
position of commander-in-chief. Five
states already have entered favorite
sons In the race, and each entry is a
popular man. The states already in the
contest for the prize are Indiana, Mich
igan, Nebraska, New Jersey and South
Dakota.
The department of Indiana has in
dorsed Comrade O. A. Somers, a private,
in the ranks. .Mr. SomeVs lives at Ko
komo, and is a popular member with
the comrades of the Grand Army. He
has the active and undivided support
of his state, and is counting on help
from a number of strong states in the
central west, and from every member of
the Grand Army, to use the words of a
friend and supporter, “who believes
that the time has come when a private
soldier should be honored.”
Comrade Somers is a charter member
of his post, and has acceptably filled its
various offices. He was the very active
and efficient commander of the depart
ment of Indiana in 1909-10. He is of
unimpeachable character, patriotic, vig
orous and capable. He has to his credit
an honorable record of more than three
full years in the Thirty-Ninth regiment
of Indiana volunteers, the Eighth In
diana cavalry, 'a regiment famed in his
tory for its battles and dosses as one
of the “three huVdred fighting regi
ments.” He is at present correspond
ing secretary of the Society of the
Army of the Cumberland.
Nebraska has entered the lists with
Colonel C. E. Adams, a banker and
farmer, of Superior, Neb. He is indors
ed by his state department, and has a
war record linked with the history of
the Fourteenth army corps. Colonel
Adams won distinction on many fields,
is loj^al to the interests of the Grand
Army, and is a successful man of af
fairs.
Michigan will come to the encamp
ment carrying the flag of Washington
Gardner, of Albion, the well-known edi
tor-statesman, and will enter him as a
candidate for the honor. Colonel Gard
ner’'enlisted for the service when only
sixteen years of- age, and was with
General Sherman during the campaign
from Chattanooga to Atlanta, sustaining
a serious wound at Resaca, which ne
cessitated his retirement on an hon
orable discharge. He was a member of
congress from Michigan for ten or a
dozen years, serving with high honor
on a number of important committees,
during which time he made a national
reputation as one of the Republican
leaders. ^
New Jersey’s candidate for the honor
is Colonel Ralph D. Cole, a popular
Grand Army man, who has a creditable
war record. He has the indorsement of
the New Jersey department of the G.
A. R., and is regarded as the candi
date of the eastern section, though na
tionalism plays little part in the se
lection of the commander-in-chief.
South Dakota has indorsed Captain
N. H. Kingman, of Selby, and will come
to Chattanooga determined to land him.
Captain Kingman organized a company
of Thirteenth Wisconsin regiment, and
served with that organization until the
close of the war. He has been one of the
prominent figures in the Grand Army of
the Republic since its organization, and
his strength is general. Colonel King
man’s war record is of the finest. He
has the distinction of having veteraniz
ed his regiment, being the only original
captain who stayed with his regiment
throughout the war.
With five strong candidates, said to be
the greatest number ever to be pre
sented before a national encampment,
the fight for the honor promises to be
spirited and full of interest.
