.HUNDR -DS PETITION
CONGRESS CONGRESS TO INQUIRE
into JUDGES REGIME
Ask That Charges Brought
Against Emery Speer Be
Investigated Thoroughly
JURIST MAKES DEMAND
Former Mayor Claims Settle
ment of Estate Has Been
Held Up 13 Years
JURIST MAKES DEMAND

MACON. Ca, Aug. Hundreds OF
signatures had been obtained today
TO petition demanding that congress
take up the charges upon which Col
w. A. HUFF, for 10 years mayor and
one OF the most popular residents OF
this city, demands the impeachment
OF Judge Emery Sreer, OF the United
States district court. The petition
points out that Col. Huff's character
is uniInpeachable and that his charges
are so serious as to reflect both upon
the moral and professional conduct
OF the Jurlst
Judge Speer has announced that
some other federal judge will pass on
the contempt proceedings he has
brought against the former mayor.
Meanwhile Col. HUFF Is out on bail.
He stated today that he had received
offers OF unlimited funds for his fight
from friends here. He positively re-
fused tc withdraw or modify sAglS
allegation made against the federal
jurist, despite the fact that Speer,
with tears streaming down his
cheeAs, denied each separate allega-
.tion from the bench and asserted that
Huff vas in conspiracy to ruin him.
While Judge Speer was passing to
his place on the bench great crowd
filed his court room and many tried
TO get close enough to Col. Huff to
shake hands with him and assure
him of their support Speer sat glum-
ly in his chair for savaral minutes
while this was going on. He then
arose and emphatically denied each
OF the allegations his accuser had
brought against him. The Judge de-
noancsd the newspapers for printing
the charges and the newspaper cor
respondents for sending them broad.
cast throughout the country.
He asserted that the Hun estate
had doubled during the Is years that
it has been in the custody OF the
court and, while admitting this seem.
cd a long time for such an action to
remain unsettled, insisted there was
o good reason for IT, He denied he
had gone to Eagle River, Alaska, al
the expense OF the estate. that q
valuable bear skin rug had been pur
chased from estate funds or that he
had appropriated for his own use
mining stocks that should have gone
10 the estate.
Last evening a large crowd headed
by :. band proceeded to Col Hun
home and serenaded him. Some of
the more radical wanted to proceed
to Judge Speer's home and hang him
in effigy, but the leaders persuaded
them not to do so. Judge Speer Is
going to Nova Scotia for four.
months vacation and unless congress
acts there will be nothing done about
the case until he returns.

ARREST OF INNOCENT
ALDERMEN Moi FAULT

Official Says Assistant Jasnow-
ski Telephoned Police Only
Names of Men Wanted
MAYOR SEEKS SPOTLIGHT
Only Official Who Continues to
Discuss Graft Probe-Tells
of Another Alleged Deal
MAYOR SEEKS SPOTLIGHT

why all this fuss because a few
of the aldermen not involved in the
graft prosecution were arrested by
mistaken" asked Prosecutor Shep-
herd, Wednesday, referring TO Mayor
Thompson's insistence that Police
Commissioners Croul make a public
inquiry into the cause.
For the politics back OF II, that's
why" continued the prosecutor, an
swering his own question. The mat
ter Is comparatively trivial and could
be explained easily. The prosecutor
Office was not responsible for the ar
rest OF any one OF the aldermen. MY
assistant, Mr. Jasnowski, telephoned
10 Capt. Palmer, of the police depart
ment, from the office OF Detective
Brennon in the Ford building, Friday
afternoon, and read him the names
OF eight aldermen whom he wanted
taken into custody and brought TO the
prosecutors ONCE. Aid. Gilman and
Eddie" Schreiter were already III
custody OF the detectives. The other
eight men are those now under ar-
rest.
Mr.. JasnoWski tells me that he
telephoned only those names, all at
one time, and they were put down
and read back TO him for verifca-
ton. He did not telephone the other
names which resulted in the arrest
OF men not wanted. | believe Mr..
Jasnowski's statements. There were
several other men In the detectives
Office at the time, and, no doubt, In
the excitement some one telephoned
the other list TO the police. Who II
was is a mystery to this ONCE. Mr.
Jasnowski simply asked the police TO
bring in the eight aldermen he
named, the intention being to quiz
them in the prosecutors office before
formally ordering their arrest. But
the police arrested them before they
brought them In"
Mr.. Shepherd seemed annoyed that
the mayor should attempt to make
mountain out OF a mole hill. Among
those in Detective Brennon's Office at
the time the names were telephoned
was a young lawyer who is personal
friend OF the mayor, and there is an
intimation that he may have tele-
phoned the second batch OF names.
Another indication that the mayor
intends TO capture all the glory
there happens TO remain in the ex-
pose Is evidenced by the fact that he
is the only one now talking about the
probe and what II revealed.
Prosecutor Shepherd and | have
agreed that no more information shall
be given out concerning the inyesti-
cation except by the prosecutor" said
Detective Brennon to The Times,
Wednesday afternoon. There has
been altogether too much talking
Mr.. Shepherd and | have agreed that
anything for the public must come
through the prosecutors Office"
And you can absolutely rely on
that statement of Mr.. Brennon's,
said Mr. Shepherd, pointing TO the
detective, who was in his office at
the time for a conference. Certain
persons have talked too much. They
