Frees Boy Who Found
Gun of Toting Charge
That a person may carry uncon
cealed a weapon not his own when
no malicious intent is shown was the
opinion handed down by Justice Rus
sell. of the Court of Appeals, in the
cam- of <’asper against the State.
The defendant, a boy 18 years old,
picked up a pistol on the road and
carried it homo unconcealed.
The Jury returned a verdict of
guilty on the ground that the boy was
“carrying a dangerous weapon with
out a license." The court reversed
this decision on the point that the
gun was carried openly snd uncon
cealed and apparently without mali
cious intent.

Republicans Block Clayton’s Move
to Hasten Investigation of
Georgia Judge.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26—A rpso-
lutlon to investigate the charges
against Judge Emory Speer, of Geor
gia, was introduced in the House to
day by t’halrman Clayton, of the Ju
diciary Committee.
An effort to have It considered Im
mediately .ailed, on the objection of
Minority Leader Mann, and the reso
lution went over until to-morrow.
In presenting % the resolution Mr.
Clayton said:
"The committee reached the unani
mous conclusion that the charges
were of such grave nature that fur
ther investigation was warranted. I
may say that not only members of the
Judiciary Committee, but other mern
hers of the House, have given this
subject carefu! attention.
"No member of the committee has
had opportunity to talk with the wit
nesses, and so the committee did not
feel like voting to impeach Judge
Speer.
Urges Fair Inquiry.
"If Judge Speer is not guilty of tho
wrongful conduct alleged against him.
a committee of this House ought to
vindicate him. If it reaches the con- !
elusion that he should be Impeached I
and removed, the House owes it to the I
people to take this course.
"Several members of the committee j
have expressed the hope that this !
Judge Is not guilty, but we felt it was
only fair to the country to bring in
this resolution.”
Minority Leader Mann said he had ;
never heard of a similar case being
started in such a manner, with no i
one making an actual charge on the
floor of the House.
“I doubt the propriety of the Hous *, j
having no charges before it. author- !
i/.ing a committee to proceed with an
investigation,” said Mr. Mann. "I
have seen no charge in the papers
worthy of investigation."
"Does the gentleman think I ougnt
to give out the charges at this point?”
asked Mr. Clayton.
“I think the House ought to be in
formed,” said Mr. Mann.
Representative Bartlett, of Georgia,
pointed out that some of the most im
portant charges, those made by Colo
nel Huff, had been thoroughly aired.
Bartlett for Quick Action.
"Justice demands this investiga
tion,” said Mr. Bartlett. "You should
be careful; you should be quick io
allow a quick investigation of charges
made by renutable citizens. I hops
no member will be so unjust to the
people of that district as to do any
thing to impede an investigation."
Mr. Mann persisted In his objection,
and the resolution w- nt over.
The procedure kfl|n ir. this case,
so far as the resolution £or an in
vestigation Is concerned, i the same
as that in the impeachment proceed
ings against Judges Swayne, Hanford
and Arch bold.
The resolution set fort! that the
charges made against Judge Speer
were of such a grave nature that they
warranted further investigation, and
provided that the Judiciary Commit
tee be authorized to proceed with the
inquiry. If the committee finds thnt
further steps are justified, it will rec
ommend the Impeachment of Judge
Speer, it is declared.

ganization. will shortly begin a cam
paign for funds to erect a modern

Atlanta and wish to be aided in find

No. 16 Ellis street, and also a course
in millinery and dressmaking will be
inaugurated. Competent teachers
have been arranged for, and the
