Park To Be Advisory Counsel in
Case of Impeachment.
MACON. Sept. 3.—Information
brought to Macon by attorneys re
turning from Mount Airy, Ga., is to
the effect that Judge Emory Speer
will conduct his own defense in the
investigation of his judicial record by
a subcommittee of the House Judi
ciary Committee late in the fall. In
the event that the committee should
recommend impeachment proceedings,
it is understood also that Judge Speer
will still act as his own counsel.
Lawyers who will act as advisory
counsel are Judge A. J. Cobh, of
Athens; Judge Enoch Callaway, of
Augusta, and Orville A. Park, of Ma
con, all close personal friends to
Judge Speer.
Before going to the bench Judge
Speer was celebrated as an advocate,
and as District Attorney he made a
splendid reputation. On account of
his striking ability along that line, his
friends here are gratified that he is
going to be his own lawyer. Judge
Speer will not return to Macon until
about the middle of October, as he has
hay fever and never leaves the moun
tains until cold weather begins.
In a letter received by a Macon cit
izen from a member of the Georgia
delegation, the statement is made that
when the subcommittee begins an in
vestigation in Macon in November
any citizen will be privileged to ap
pear before it and testify against
Judge Speer. That is. the investiga
tion will not be confined to the
charges already cited against the
Judge.

an ordinance ebpowering this body

to inspect every film and to say which

The ordinance, offered as a substi

strikes the provision recently urged,
prohibiting tights or short skirts.
The Council refused to legislate on

trains over, the various divisions un
der shortened headway are strenu
ously denied by the road, but will be
the subject of investigation. An
nouncement was made a few days be
fore Labor Day that many extra
trains were being put on to accom
modate the heavy traffic and all the
details of these special schedules will
be demanded by the investigators.
Meanwhile the railroad officials,
Coroner and Engineer Elwell have
been hearing the stories of the rail
road men who are tentatively held
responsible for the disaster, Engineer
Miller and Flagman Murray. Accord
ing to their statement, the Bar Har
bor express had passed Into the block
past the banjo signals, which would
have warned the White Mountain
express 3 miles back, had it been
set.
Sixty-Mile Speed Charged.
The Bar Harbor express stopped
just outside the signal, but later
started again and calling in the flag
man, gave the succeeding train the
right of way over 3 miles of track,
which, under 60-mile headway, which
many passengers say was'the speed
of the train, would have brought it
to the scene of the collision in just
three minutes, not enough time to
permit the preceding train to get out
of the way.
Flagman Murray's signals were un
doubtedly set, but they were abso
lutely useless, according to the testi
mony, as the approaching train was
already bearing down upon him with
in the block, even as he set his tor
pedoes. The charge tentatively laid
against him is that he failed to set
off a coston signal, as it is claimed
was his duty in the fog that pre
vailed.
Say ^Engineer Was Warned,
That Engineer Miller received
warning that he was closely follow
ing the Bar Harbor train at Meriden,
miles beyond the scene of the acci
dent, is the evidence of C. J. Dana-
her, a lawyer of that city, who yes
terday told of hearing the two trains
pass his home and hearing the White
Mountain express explode two tor
pedoes of warning.
The evidence of L. G. Morse, of
Chicago, a passenger on the Bar Har
bor express, is a severe arraignment
of the trainmen in charge of that
train. Mr. Morse says emphatically
that the brakes on the Bar Harbor
express were set at the time the
wreck occurred. Having been a
brakeman on the Boston and Maine
Railroad at one time, he lost no time
when the train stopped In getting off
to see what was the cause of the
stop.
Passenger Accuses Brakeman.
At this time he says he saw the
brakeman. who, he supposed, was
flagman, standing at about the thir
teenth car on the train whistling and
tossing pebbles into the bushes be
side the track. He walked toward
the engine and had taken but a few
steps when he heard the crack of two
torpedoes followed almost immediate
ly by the crash. The grinding of the
huge locomotive through the cars was
followed by the screams of the dying
and wounded.
“The torpedoes were entirely too
near the train to have given any ade
quate warning of danger,” said Mr.
Morse. “The brakeman should have
gone back to signal the following
train. We had been at a standstill
fully six minutes when the crash
came, ample time for the train behind
us to have been stopped.”
Mr. Morse was also emphatic in his
criticism of the construction of the
cars.
Attacks Car Structure.
“Mr. Mellen testified before the In
terstate Commerce Commission," he
said, “that all the trains were equip
ped with steel eye beams. On our
train there was not a single eye
beam.”
President Howard Elliott, whose
ghastly introduction to the manage
ment of the New Haven road, has
given him a careworn look, declines
to add to his statement that every ef
fort would be made to give the public
every detail of evidence as the facts
were developed.

“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It would only be a wild guess now to say w r ho will
win the first fifteen ears and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At
lanta, but' in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have w r on Pedalmobiles may be seen
-distributing their papers in them. All these ears are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or
girl w r ho is fortunate enough to w T in one.
These ,ars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor lee
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of boys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little ears. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile.
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be'mailed you at once.
