two minor mutters "
. Independence Essential.
"If judges are to .bc subjected to
tbe treatment' accorded Judge Speer,"
concludes the report, "bow cap they
be expected to maintain that spirit
of independence so essential to the
just administration of the law?
"It ia not .necessary to say anything
in commendation of Judge Speer. The
laet line of the majority report, re
commending no further action upon
thc charges is, despite all criticism
to the'contrary, a complete vindica
tion. It would not have been written
if the evidence had pointed to any
thing worth/ of real crltisicm. (n
conclusion let me add that the day
will come when Judge Speer will, be
remembered with pride by the people
cf Georgia, not only for bia ability
and integrity, but especially for what
JVlr. .Wimberly called his many beau
tiful acts of mercy to the poor and
oppypzscd;
i .Majori! j Pep ort.
"The subrcomniiitee regrets its in
ability to either recommend a com
plete acquittal of Judge Speer of all
culpability so far as these charges
are, concerned, cn the one hand, or
an Impeachment, on the other bund."
This was thu conclusion submitted to
the house' Judiciary committee-by tho
.special.sub-committee that fur months
bifj been investigating charges of of
ficial misconduct filed against Emory
Speer of Macou, federal judge for the
southern district of Georgia.
The report, after an exhaustive re
sume of evidence with severe com
ment ?, held thal some of Judge peer's
official actions "tend to approach a
condition cf tyranny and oppression."
|>ut .recommended that no further pro
ceeding be had by the house.
These conclusions now reBt with the
full committee on judiciary, which
ls expected to report on them to the
house for final disposition of the case
before tho adjournment of the present
session of congress. The sub-commit
tee comprises Representatives Webb,
North Carolina; Eitzhenry, Illinois,
.democrats, and Volstead, .Minnesota,
republican.
Nineteen charges were filed with '?
committee. They alleg .?'
ether things, that Judge
tallied matters tieyond
ri! diction, allowed excessive
fess to u personal friend, used h.
ficiul position for preferment ot his
son-in-law, A. ri. Heyward, abused lils
authority by domestic use of govern
ment paid court employes, violated
laws regarding drawing of jurors,
and dissipated b^jikrupt estates by ap
pointing unnecessary ollieials and al
low In.- excessive fees.
Another charge was that in the
case'or Henry Jamison, a Macon negro.
Judge Speer defied: the mandates of
the supreme court of the United States
and' the circuit court of. appeals.
: The' sub-committee's conefjusioni
follows :
."The conclusion of the sub-commit
tee deduced from the evidence taken;
and fr cm the. construction, of the pre
cedents of impeachment.trials, is ?hat
at the present time ' satisfactory evi
dence sutil cient to support! a convie-.
Hon upon a trial by the senate is not
obtainable.
"In.the conduct of the hearings the;
committee was extremely liberal and
did not confine the Witnesses to. ?lie
giving of technically legal evidence.
Much evidence bf a~ hearsay nut u re
war. received!". Thc committee. felt]
justified in such n course in the light
of 'the fact that lt came to the' at
tention of the conTmlttee. that many
wltne-jaer .we're apprehensive of tho
Cons?quences of givling evidence
against Judgf Speer Sp the" l?vent
ol' his acquittal. This feeling and the
general disposition on the ph ii of In
di vldnula ;. to , .protect themselves]
against what .was termed the '.wrath"}
of' Judge Speer k'bpt from the com-j
mittee the'namcs of the witnesses and
0 knowledge of the facts in their pea
ses E ion. Many witnesses, whose testi
mony would be .absolutely necessary
to sustain some, ^f ftho charges
are,.dead. Others have' moved away
and their whereabouts are ujiknown.

which have' been ..frequently criticised*
where.the cases.in which they ?were
committed have, been " reviewed by
the courts of' appeal, while in others
litigants were unable :financially to
prosecute appeals. That, the power of
the court 'has beep exercised in a
, despotic nihl autocratic manner by tho
Judge cannot bo questioned.
~:'.Th?, Jamison case. Is one of many
instances shown. in j the record .where
the judge, without. taint of. in di vid ua 1
corruption .and with the apparently
laudable purpose fot: ??irlf?in<c tho

Washington, June 23.-Seventeen

liabi? under the decision of the Unit
ed States Supreme court 1n the no
called inter-mountain cas?? for mil-,
lions in reparations pu shipments
made since the .institution of.the.casr
es. The precise amount involved in
claims already flied with the Inter
state Commerce 'ommisslon approxl
fates $12.000,000. One batch aggre
gates more than $2,000.000. Seoras of.
cases involving amounts ranging from
a few hundred dollars to hundreds"ot
thousands, have been tiled ;by'individ
ual shippers and by commercial and
shippers' organizations acting for
their .inumbers. ,
Neither,in the original order of-thei
