THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 15 IMPEACH SPEER ISENDS COTTON OP IS Georgia Judge Arraigned for Mis conduct by Report of Judicial Investigating Body. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—A rec- ommendatlon that th* House of Rep resentative* proceed to impeach Judge Emory Speer, of the Fifth Georgia District, was included in the report submitted yesterday to the House Judiciary Committee, accord ing to the highest authority. It also is understood that the De partment of Justice has indicated to the House committee that Judge Speer is “unfit” to serve on the bench, for two general reasons: First—For misconduct on the bench. Second—On account of tem- permental traits and physical habits. Under the first heading come the charges that have already been out lined, including those made by Col onel W. A. Huff, of Macon, who al leged that his property, worth about 11,000,000, had been sold under the court's direction and allowed to waste away. This charge is regarded as one of the most serious made against Judge Speer. Second Grave Charge. A second important charge to which members of the House committee are giving close attention is that Judge Speer was in the habit of appointing Max Isaacs, a lawyer of Brunswick, Ga», to receivership cases, with an un derstanding that Isaacs would asso ciate with him Judge Speer’s son-in- law, named Heyward, and divide the fees with the latter. An angle of this charge is that Judge Speer had full knowledge that his decisions would affect the fees received by his son-in-law. It further is charged that Judge Speer did not give sufficient atten tion to his office, and that among other things, shippers wer© compelled to go to New York with cases under the admiralty law. Members of the Georgia delegation are greatly interested in the charges, and it can be stated that the prevail ing impression among the Georgia members Is that impeachment pro ceedings will be asked. The procedure in the handling of the case has already been determin ed upon. There was some chance that the Judiciary Committee to-day would submit the charges to the members of the Georgia delegation for their consideration. Bartlett May Press Charges. A sub-committee of the members of the delegation then will be appointed to go over the charges and confer with the Judiciary Committee. It has not been decided who will be appoint ed on this sub-committee. As the Judiciary Committee will not meet again until next Monday, It Is likely that the delegation will be in a posi tion to report with recommendations In time for that general meeting. A feature of the proceedings is that It has been decided, in case the House is asked to impeach Judge Speer, that Representative Bartlett, of Macon, who at present is ill and unable to attend his office, will pre sent the resolution to the House. Mr. Bartlett was interested in simi lar proceedings against Judge Speer Instigated about eighteen years ago. Shorts Covering and Bull Leaders Buying Help Prices Reach New High Ground. NEW YORK. Aug 21—Although Liv erpool was influenced by early reports of rains in the Southwest and was low er than had been expected, the local cotton market opened steady with prices showing Irregularity, being unchanged to 2 points lower to 3 points higher than the previous close. Selling developed soon after the open ing, based on the Government’s fore cast for increasing cloudiness and the map showing good prospects for rains and cooler weather in Oklahoma The forecast was for showery weather in the central and Eastern States. The selling appeared to come mainly from those who had purchased at yesterday’s low point. Prices at the end of the first half hour showed depression of 3 to 6 points from the opening. While there were scattered rains re ported over portions of Texas and Okla homa. this Influence was offset by a very bullish report from Cord ill on cen tral and northwest Texas and Okla homa. bringing out considerable buying and caused heavy short covering. Spot Interests were also buyers. As a result of this class of buying the entire early deollne was wiped out^md prices during the laie forenoon stood 4 to 6 points better ihan last night's close The detailed weather report, which was posted at noon for yesterday on the western belt, showed very high tem peratures in Texas and Oklahoma, with no rain. This brought out further buy ing orders, and some of the bull leaders were in the market and apparently very little cotton was for sale It is generally believed that the short interest has been reduced consid erably on tnls advance, some of the local weather experts are now predict ing general rains in the next forty-eight hours, which encouraged some selling and profit-taking, but prices held steady around 11.58 for October and 11.55 for December.

We made a big crop in this county last year without rains People that say it can not rain In August must take a back seat, as we had already three good rains and a good crop made.” The following letter was received from San Antonio: "Scattered rains in this section have been of absolutely no ben efit to cotton; the only result is to lower grade and delay picking There is lit tle chance of cotton taking on new growth here now and making anything, for the weevil w’ouhl be found waiting for any such development. They have already done much more damage than is generally believed, and it is possible for southwest Texas to make as much as last year, even with an admitted in crease of about 10 per cent, and the yield will be 10 to 15 per cent leas than last season. If the bears could make delivery as needed of the rains, they have sold in Texas the past month, we w'ould be assured of a season for the next ten years to come." • * • The New Orleans Times-Democrat Rays: “Many reports of cotton crop de terioration came in from the West yesterday, and the bull party developed more steam than the cotton market has knowm in many a day. The Oklahoma crop is undoubtedly suffering severely. Regarding the Texas crop, there is a world of adverse opinion. "Day after day. the official forecast calls for fair w’eather. and the official report reveals a few light, widely scat tered showers. Meanwhile, private cor respondents. day after day, report ben eficial showers of a more or less gen eral character, which the Government fails to confirm. Thus the basis of the information bearing on Texas is so badly mixed in the minds of the talent as to color crop condition reports in both directions. “Yesterday one reliable correspondent wired: “Drouth not relieved and it is now too late for rains to help much over a large area in Texas.” Other cor respondents, with every show of confi dence in their own information, asserted that most sections had received some beneficial moisture; that over-fruited plants had lost the excess only and had deteriorated no more than normally and the Texas crop promises to be as large as that of last year But the constant reference to drouth damage in the ad vices reaching Europe has awakened some fear as to the size of the outturn, which, -for the moment, at least, has overshadowed the scarcity of forward demand, the fact that the "Dlarke rider” has not yet been killed, and the unfa vorab’e reports coming from some of the foreign spinning centers. “Texas sold some hedges in the local market, but they w r ere readily absorbed in spite of the reports from Galveston to the effect that ocean freight room y* being relet. This reletting of freight room at the Texes port Is explained as due to heavy engagements some time ago and to the small number of halos now showing no. Spot demand, how ever, is rather keen."
