New York, Oct 25.-At the session
Of the legislative committee invesu-
eating the insurance companies the af-
fairs of the Mutual Life Insurance
company were under consideration,

a number of vouchers for the payment
of this work, and these aggregated
$1,000. with more bills TO come in.
He thought the amount TO date would
reach $4,000.
Mr.. Smith wrote these reports and

JUDGE sPEER REVERSED.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States has added another 10 its long
list Of anti-Negro decisions. This
time Judge Emory Speer Of the
Southern federal district of Georgia
has been reversed in the Henry Jam
ison case. The prisoner was a col
ored man, an old family servant
who was arrested March 18th, 1904
upon the charge OF being drunk and
disorderly. He was fined sixty dol
lars and in default OF the payment
thereof was committed TO the coun-
ty chain-gang for 20 days.
In this case iron manacles we're
rivetted upon the legs Of the prison
er and ne was made TO wear the
striped clothing of convict. Judge
Speer held that he had not been con-
victed by due process of law and
that infamous punishment was in
fiicted upon the prisoner for a mis-
demeanor and without according TO
nm JUL II Aot eto ouNn HInlhlluCuL
could not be legally inflicted save
upon conviction for a felony.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States, contrary 10 its usual custom
reversed Judge Speer without even
giving a written opinion and there
by consigned Henry Jamison to fur
Their punishment at the hands OF
the chain-gang officials of Georgia.
We re-iterate in view Of the present
composition Of that Federal tribu-
nal, that justice that we cannot get
from our state Supreme Court, we

an appeal from the state courts of
Kentucky, but If he were a Negro,
he would have no more chance of a
favorable decision than would "a
