SPEER ASKS FOR DELAY.
Dangerous for Accused Jurist to
Come to Washington Now.

Federal Judge Speer at Macon. Ga.
has forwarded TO the House committee
on judiciary a sworn affidavit from his
physician, DIR. S. K. Rodgers, stating
that while Judge Speer has fine general
health it would be dangerous for him
as hay fever sufferer to come to
Washington at this time.
The affidavit AYERS that Judge SpeeT
who is under charges of official miscon-
duct and the subject Of investigation by
both the Department of Justice and the
House judiciary committee, has no habits
which would receive the disapproval o.
his MUSICIAN. This declaration answers
charge of alleging personal. haDit
which figured among the accusations
brought against him.
The judiciary committee probably viii
meet tomorrow and probably will accede
TO the request of Judge Speer so that the
examination of witnesses Will not begin
until late autumn. This Is not only as a
personal accommodation Oh account OF
his health, but also is due to pressure of
pending legislation in Congress

HELD Discussing OFFICER.
District Register Of Wills Must Place
Funds in u. S. Depository,


The register of wills of the District Of
Columbia is disbursing officer within
the meaning of the law. and should be
required to pace public funds in his
ha nds in United States depository. This
is a ruling of the controller of the Treas
ury. made public today.
The Secretary of the Treasury inquired
whether the register of wills Of the Dis
trict of Columbia is disbursing officer.
and whether there is any statute which
would prevent the application of circular
5 to his accounts. Circular 5 requires
that public funds in the hands of a
discussing officer shall be deposited in
United States repositories.
The controller finds that the register OF
wills Is both receiving and disbursing
officer. and that it is proper that the
public funds In his custody, which are
the receipts Of the office, shall be placed
In a United States depository.
