HOUSE URGED TO UV. & A. EARHIINGS PRODUCERS VISIT DRV, HOT WEATHER
AS UNFIT
Georgia Judge Arraigned for Mis
conduct by Report of Judicial
Investigating Body.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—A reo-
ommendatlon that the Hous© of Rep
resentatives 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
peramental 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
$1,000,000, 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 were 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 th© members of
the delegation th^n 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 w T ill 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 Cordill on cen
tral and northwest Texas and Okla
homa. bringing out considerable buyjng
and caused heavy short covering. Spot
interests were also buyers. As a result
of this class of buying the entire early
decline was wiped out and prices during
the la>.e forenoon stood 4 to 6 points
better than 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 tnis 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 11.56 for
December.

LETTER
i*. 21.—The
weather map shows very favorable de
velopments overnight, with cloudy
weather and scattered showers over the
central and eastern Stares, where re
ports expressing fear of damage by the
dry weather were beginning to be felt.
It Is partly cloudy in the western States
and prospects are much brighter for
precipitation and oooler weather In Ok
lahoma and Arkansas. Cloudy, unset
tled weather and scattered showers In
the rest of the belt.
Our market advanced a little at the
opening, but soon dropped 12 points
when official forecasts promised showers
for the central and eastern States and
Increasing cloudiness In Oklahoma and
Arkansas.
Trading settled around 11.55 for Octo
ber. Visible supply changes Friday are
expected to be bullish on account of the
slow appearance of new cotton.

A reliable party in Austin, Texas,
writes: “This Is the first year in five
that we had good rains in August. 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 reoelved from
San Antonio: "Scattered rains in this
section have been of absolutely no ben
efit to ootton; the only result Is to lower
grade and delay picking. There Is lit
tle chance of ootton taking on new
growth here now and making anything,
for the weevil would 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 less than
last season. If the bears could make
delivery as needed of the rains, they
have sold in Texas the past month, we
would be assured of a season for the
next ten years to oome.”
• • •
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Many reports of ootton crop de
terioration came In from the West
yesterday, and the bull party developed
more steam than the cotton market has
known 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 weather, 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
falls to confirm. Thus the basis of the
Information bearing on Texas Is
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 lr Texas." Other cor
respondents. with every show of confl
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 “Clarke rider”
has not yet been killed, and the unfa
vorable reports coming from some of the
foreign spinning centers.
“Texas sold some hedges In the local
market, but they were readily absorbed
In spite of the reports from Galveston
to the effect that ocean freight room Is
being relet. This reletting of freight
room at the Texas port is explained as
due to heavy engagements some time
ago and to the small number of bales
now showring up. Root demand, how
ever, Is rather keen.

The Chicago Inter Ocean say»: "Most
wheat traders say that there is a large
sized sleeping short interest which is
likely to wake up any day, and should
foreigners come in and buy a lot of
wheat shorts would not find it easy to
cover.
‘The majority of local traders in oora

the market Is in Btrong hands and re
