THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. f FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1913. JUDGE SPEER SUBJECT BF 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. • WILL RE-ENACT CHARGE UP MISSIONARY RIDGE United States Troops Will '‘Oppose" Troops of Grand Army of Republic 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.* (By Associated Press.) 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. AMERICAN REFUGEES READY TO SET SAIL ARMY OEEIGERS ARE L REFUSED LODGINGS STOCK TAKES SLUMP RACE FOR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF G. A. R. PROMISES TO BE HOT Secretary Garrison Gets Let ter Which Makes Him Think People Dislike Army New Low Record Set When Shares Drop Two and One-Half Points Five “Favoite Sons” , Already Are in Race and Each Is a Popular Entry-Private As pires to Coveted Title ITHAM MERCHANT KILLED IN AUTO CRASH BY NAVAL STORES MEN (By Associated Press.) 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. (By Associated Press.) 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. WANTS WOODEN COACHES PUT ON BLACK LIST (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Represen tative Allen, of Ohio, has been provid ing for the compul^Dry retirement from service of all wooden railroad coaches in five years, 20 per cent to be retired each year.

MACON, Ga., Sept. 18.—Despondent over domestic troubles, Mrs. Charles Barksdale, of 108 Arlington street, East Macon, swallowed poison yesterday aft ernoon after she had locked herself in her bedroom.

Physicians were hurriedly called and Mrs. Barksdale was rushed to the city hospital. Physicians stated this morning that she may recover, or she may gradually grow worse as the poison takes effect. The doctors believe that she will recov er, as they ejected the poison from her stomach shortly after she swallowed it. There are three small children in the family. The renewal of domestic trou bles yesterday is- said to have caused Mrs. Barksdale to attempt her life.

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. 121 INGRES OF RAIN 1,17 Fell Monday Night-City Flooded and Forecast Is for More Downpours MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 16.—The total precipitation for the seventy-two-hour period, ending at 7 o’clock this morning, was 12.60 inches, according to the rec ords of the United States weather bu reau.

(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.
