ATTACK ON HARDEMAN RESENTED
Mr.. Thomas of Clarke Makes an At
tncI1 OH the Attorney General.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 16.-The great strug-
gle in the House tonight, aside from the
hitch with the Senate over the convict bill,
occurred over the report of the special COM
mittee appointed to investigate into the
question of fees received by the late Treas
urer Hardeman. No fight during the ses-
sion has resulted in a more spirited tilt
than this effort, as it was openly designat-
ed on the floor tonight to cast stain up
on the memory of one of Georgia's most
honored sons one who had illustrated
Georgia in both public and private life. A
good deal of feeling was injected into this
fight and about forty members arose to ex-
plain their votes. the speakers on each side
emphasizing the fact that they we're ''con-
scientious" in their positions.
The most significant utterance among
the explana lions was that of Mr.. Thomas
of Clarke. What he said was of peculiar
interest to the solons and the people of
the state, because of the insidous, it rath-
or might be said, open thrust at one of
the aVOwed candidates for governor. He
said that the Blalock committee had re-
ported that a shortage existed upon the
statement Of Attorney General Terrell.
some members mad said II was JUDICIAL
question, yet the majority of the legal
members on the special committee had re-
ported saying il was absolutely legal for
the treasurer to derive the insurance fees,
the fees then under contro-
versy The Blalock committee
was not body of legal men
as a whole. or as much as the special COM
mittee He did not indorse the idea of
calling a faithful servant Of the state
thief after the sod had been thrown upon
his grave. Mr. Thomas spoke with much
feeling. Members Of the assembly, at the
time the bill was passed, said it was the
intention of the law that the treasurer
should receive these fees. Tho cutting
point made by Mr.. Thomas was that the
attorney general had known from 1891 to
1897, six years, that the treasurer was re-
ceiving these fees,ayet waited till he died
to cast this asperson on his character and
to bring humiliation to his family. He
also said that succeeding legislatures had
examined the treasurers books, and that
these items were on his books, as all his
acts were on record, and that they had
Endorsed the receipt of these fees. The
House voted by large majority to sus-
tain the report allowing the fees.
