PUNISHMENT WITHIN BOUNDS.
JUDGE SPEER'S APPEAL FOR THE
LAW AND THE COURTS.

Says the Law Which Prohibits
Judges of Superior Courts From
Expressing an Opinion should he
Observation-Disclosures That Awful
Crimes Are Foreign TO the Negro
Race-NegrOes Must Help Run
Down Outcasts.
Macon, Ga, June THE baccalaureate
address delivered to the law class of Mer-
Ger University this morning by Judge En-
cry Speer was remarkable in the selection
of the question dealt with before such an
audience.
Judge Speer devoted his whole time for
half an hour to an annunciation of his
views on the attitude of the white people
of the South, and especially of this state,
toward the negro as a result of the COM
mission of the many awful crimes against
white women.
The speaker said that the punishment
of the criminal must be kept within the
bounds of civilization and within the pale
Of the law and the courts The contrary
course. he said, is debasing and effective
only in delaying final correction and pre-
vention.
In emphatic tones and gestures Judge
Speer said:
Il solemniy assert before this distin-
guished audience, with full knowledge of
the import of what I say, that the crimes
that have so infiamed the white people Of
this country against the negro race and
known and loved since my childhood, and
whom 1 viii know and love until my eyes
are closed in death.
THE negroes themselves" he said, must
assist the whites IA hunting down and ar
resting the outcasts in order that they
may remove the onus of the charge that
they are in sympathy
The constabulary force of the state in
the country districts should be made ef-
fcient.'
''The judges of the Superior Courts
must be selected from the highest intel
ligence and moral character of the state
Rewards should be promptly offered, and
above all things" the speaker said "that
section of the code which provides against
any expression of opinion by a judge in
charging in criminal cases, and which ex-
preston constitutes an error on which
the Supreme Court must grant a new
trial, should be repealed"
In conclusion. Judge Speer said that the
cunning of the law represented by the
young men just graduated must find a
way to remove the only cloud that now
obscures the sunlight of happiness and
prosperity in which the state could other
wise be bathed d.

WHAT A CLEAN BREAK MEANS.
DOth the Mig Fighters Are in Good
Shape for Battle.


New York, June 7.-Fitzsimmons and
Jeffries have both eased up in their train
ing for the pig fight Friday night. They
are merely doing enough to keep them out
of danger of going stale.
George Siler, the referee to-day had a
talk with Fitzsimmons on the interpreta-
tion Of the a "clean break" clause of the
articles. Fitzsimmons said he was quite
satisfied with siler's view that the men
should step back one pace at the word
Break from the referee after they had
clinched. Sler will see Jeffries to-mor-
row on the same subject, and ii is thought
the Californian will readily agree TO this
arrangement.
Both the training quarters were visited
by many prominent sporting men to-day.
Fitzsimmons spared very lightly and
tossed the medicine ball. while Jeffres
skipped rope, wrestled and took a long
swim at the beach. Both men claim to
be in excellent condition.
