Two reports were submitted by the sn!;-committee, that of the majority, signed by Chairman Webb and Repre sentative Fitzhenry, recommending,the dismissal of proceedings, but embody ing detulled criticism of certain al leged acts of Judge Speer, and that of thc minority presented by Represen tative .Volstead, holding that the accused jurist be completely exoner ated The meeting of the committee today last?ti suerai hours.

"While I concur in the recommenda tions made In the majority report that no further proceedings be had upon the charges against Judge Speer, I desire to express in as emphatic lan guage as possible my protest against the methods that have been pursued," says Representative Volstead in his report. "1 desire to have it distinctly under stood that 1 do not critic'.:: . the mo tives of my associates, fer v. hom I have the highest personal rf-ard; but thc proceedings in this in v> Ligation have been marked by acts cruelly un just and unfair. No effort was made lo protect the judge ugainst mere dander and abuse that could serve no other purpose than to disgrace and humiliate him..

INTIMATES CONTEST Claimed to Have Said German In terests Are to Bid for Canal ' Rights in Country (By Associated Press) Washington. June 23,-Attempts by German interests to outbid the United States for rights to construct an In teroceanic canal across Nicaragua were revealed today to the senate for eign relations committee by Nicra guun minister Ch3inoro# The minister said Germans hud urged that the $3.000.000 offered by the United Stat es for canal' rights and other conces sions was not enough. Senor C'hamorro's statement was re ceived-with much surplso and led to much speculation among members of the committee after he had left the capitol.' Some members understood him. to mean that Germany officially had approached thc. Nicaraguan gov ernment,.'and the minister's difficulty tn speaking English prevented his statement from being entirely clear. Members of the committee who did not believe Germany bad made any official suggestions to Nicaragua were inclined to the opinion that represen tatives of German bankers were re sponsible for anything that had been done or even that Nicaragua might not be averse to playing the American game of bluff Senor Chamorro was not specific about thd German offer, but he tried to make lt plain that whoever made lt took pains to ?how Nicaragua that the United States was to get much more than *she was entitled to for $3,000,000. He appeared before the committee particularly to speak of the political effect upon Nicaragua of the provisions in the treaty by which the United Stat ea would assume a pro tectorate over the country and guar antee fair elections there as In Cuba. The minister was questioned at ?onie length about the American ma rines now In the republic. He answer ed a direct inquiry by saying that no request had been .made to him to send the marines to Nicaragua some time ago. He added, however, that he believed their presence might-be de sired by the- Nicaraguan pr?sident. Adolfo Dinz.

The feature of the meeting today was Pollock's scathing rebuke to what he icnued the chief executive's eti coutr.f.er.ient of lawlesshseBS. This was characterised by thc most violent utterance of the campaign so far winn he referred to Portland Ned, tho yegg, who so mysteriously disappear ed frein the governor's private office, while a United States marshal was wailing outside with a warrant. "Whoknows." Mr. Pollock said. "bul. thei this outlaw might have gone out in a suit of clothes similar to the f-oveniors, with one or the famous flo'ich hats on his bead, and hts lace graten with a drooping mustache." This speaker also* referred to Sen ator fm lt h as a "piker" or a "bag of hot ;iir."

Because 1 have kept the faith" Then he atjded, " but 1 have not completed my course by a doggone long sight."
