with officials of his court, once with
the United States marshal. who, Judge
Speer alleged, threatened to shoot the
court. The trouble occurred in Au-
gusta. The marshal was removed.
Judge Speer has handled some big
cases during his career, probably the
best known being the Gaynor- Greene
Carter harbOr frauds at Savannah. All
of these men were convicted and large
sums were recovered for the govern
ment. The land frauds attempted
against the Dodge estate also came
before him. and the members of the
ring which tried to despoil the estate
of the New York philanthropist were
convicted.
Judge Speer is regarded as an able
lawyer and many doubt he has done
anything for which to he impeached.
but his political record has caused
prejudice against him. Years ago he
was elected to congress from the Ninth
Georgia district as an Independent
lDbIIlOtIdl. Tie al bIltt WIN
the house Republicans and when de-
feated for q second term was appoint
ed to the bench by President Arthur.
Judge Specr has always posed as
nationalist and has frequently used
the time of his court to lecture law
yers. jurors and audiences on the def
erence that should be paid to the
Stars and Stripes.
He caused a sensation in Macon
several years ago by denouncing the
people of the city for an alleged insult
to Old Glory. The people had rigged
up a piece of bunting at half staff be-
cause Of the defeat of local favorite.
Judge Speer thought the bunting was
the national emblem and spoke from
the bench for an hour in denunciation
of the supposed insult to the Stars and
Stripes.

CAREER OF JUDGE SPEER
Career Of Well Known Federal Juris'
in Review.

The New York Sun prints the fol-
lowing, under a Macon. Ga. date line:
Judge Emory Speer of the Federal
court for this district is facing the
hardest fight of his stormy career on
the bench in the inquiry which is be-
ing made into his record by an agent
of the department Of justice. He is
facing what may be called the climax
of charges and insinuations which
have been made against him ever since
he became a Federal judge years ago.
In fact. his old opponents are hopeful
that Impeachment proceedings may
result.
Hardly year has passed since
Speer went on the bench in which he
has not been involved in some episode.
Until recently, however. there seems
to have been no thought of impeach-
mcnt proceedings and the inquiry now
in progress probably would have not
been instituted but for n vigorous at
tack on Judge Speer by Col. w. A.
Huff, for years mayor of Macon and
for many terms u member Of the
Georgia legislature.
Colonel Huff reviewed Speer's rec
ord for twenty-eight years and pub
lished in pamphlet form every charge
that has been whispered against the
Judge in that time. Colonel Huff alleg-
ed that Speer for years had used his
court, especially in bankruptcy cases.
to make his followers: that many es-
tateS which were thrown into bank
ruptcy were kept there for years so
that Judge Speers favorites might get
rich.
Huff instanccd his own estate, which
was in bankruptcy fourteen years, and
charged that Judge Speer delayed its
settlement so that referees and certain
lawyers might profit. Huff said his
own case was but one of many in the
Southern district of Georgia. He al
legged that Speer was judicial tyrant
and generally hated throughout the
district.
Colonel Huff was recently declared
in contempt for sending this pamph-
let to Judge Spcer. He has taken an
appeal Ia the United States supreme
court.
Years ago Judge Spcer found the
people of Savannah so cold To him In
social way that ne removed his resi-
dcncc to Macon. In Macon he found
the same social cnldness. He bitterly
resented il. Several times he has at
tackled the people of Macon from the
bench. He has at times had trouble

SURPRISING A PANIC
How President Wilson Proved Him.
self Master of the Situation.


Inst as the New Jersey bosses dis
covered that they were dealing with
new kind of governor in Woodrow
Wilson. so Wall street discovers that
it is dealing with new kind Of pres
idcnt.
For wears the governments estab-
Iished policy in the matter Of financial
depression has been simple ana fatal
Washington waited until the panic had
begun, until confidence and credit
were undermined, and then turned the
United States treasury over to wall
street, while the stock gamblers SAL
vaged what they could from the wreck
The Wilson policy is to suppress
panic at the start and not at the mn
iSh
Nothing could have been more
timely than Secretary McAdoos an
nouncement that he was prepared to
issue $500, 900, 900 i'm emergency cur
rency under the Aldrich-Nrceland act.
Wall street recovered Immediately
from its hysteria and its bankers with
characteristic PATRIOTISM began to de-
nounce the secretary for his absurd
offer"
The fact is now pointed out with a
wealth of detail that there is plenty ol
currency in circulation and that no
emergency currency is necessary. but
forty eight hours ago Wall street was
pointing out with an equal wealth. oI
detail that one of the disturbing eie-
mcnts in the situation was the neccS-
sity that would exist in Il lew weeks
for immense sums of money to move
the crops.
The truth is that there was plenty
of money all the time. and except lor
the condition of the European money
market. there was no reason Whatever
for Wall streets attack Of nerves.
Proving it is the most imp"rtant
service that the treasury has rendered
by its offer of emergency currency
wall streets hysteria was rapidly IN
oculating the entire country. and the
Wilson administration has stopped the
nonsense before it became serious.

Bichloride Of Mercury
 Is Painful Poison
Physician Declares it is Most Horrible
 Way to Commit Suicide.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 19.-'"I should advise any one seeking flower strewn path to the Great Beyond to leave bichloride of mercury alone. can conceive of no more horrible death than from the effects of bl- chloride"
 Dr. l.. M. Van Mater prominent Denver physician, today issued this warning to ''would-be suicides through the United Press. In doing 60 he admitted that the increase in the number of persons taking this means of ending their lives, is giving medical men all over the country. much concern. The use of bichloride, said Dr. Van Mater, has alarmingly increased following the death of G. Sanders Walker, millionaire banker of Macon. Ga, who took the poison by mistake and lived for several days aft erwards with full knowledge of his ap- preaching end.
 "lt is an erroneous opinion that death by biChlOride is painless" said Dr. Van Mater today. Violent pains follow the spreading of the poison through the system. r. is a corrosive poisoning and naturally it is hotly ir- ritant There is no known antidote after the poison has had a fair start. except albumen-usua!ly t!,a white of an egy--wh;ch surrounds and holds inactive the poison if it is gwen soon enough and if the quantity of the pois- Oo taken is not too large.
 "rhe reason that there is no means of coping with this terrible poison aft CT it has left the stomach is that the mercury dissolves and permeates the system so rapidly. In action it is very much like arsenic but far more pain full The effect of mercurial bichlo- ride is much similar in some respects to the effects of an overdose of calo mel. In some eases the.teeth are loos-. ened. the sufferer undergoes violent paroxysms of pain, vomiting spells and convulsions.

County Will Extend East Barraulte
 Through NichUl and COckrill Places, East of the City.

County teams will begin work this morning of opening East Barraque street to and beyond the site of the new plant of the Arkansas Packing Company. County Judge qPhiipot has consented to build road for the con- venience of city and country residents, who find it necessary to drive east from or, west into the city and are now forced to go some distance out of their way in getting into the roads east of town. through Sixth avenue The old road has become dangerous as result of the building of many I side tracks to the packing plant. the new compress and other industrial plants in that part of the city. The new road. which will run through the Nichol and Cookrill places, will save more than mile. compared with the trip over the old road which led into East Sixth avenue. It is expected that the new road will be opened and ready for traffic in two or three weeks.

FREE BRIDGE WORK

FINANCIAL TROUBLES OF ROEM. HELD co. HAVE CAUSED BIG
 FIRMS TO WANT CONTRACT.
Bridge Commissioners Say Board is Amply PrOtected.-kavanau x
 Jackson Negotiate With Others.

It is reported that the Romeheld Construction Company of Chicago, which has the contract under Jackson X Kavanaugh, general contractors, to build the super-structure of the Free Bridge here, had been placed in the hands of a receiver, due to it's inability to collect on several contracts.
 Messrs. Jackson & Kavanaugh, when called up by long distance tele- phone yesterday stated that they had been advised of the financial trou- bles of their sub-contractor, but that the receivership would not affect the building of the bridge in any way. Negotiations are now pending with three of the largest bridge contrac- tors in the United States all of whom desire to take over the Romeheld part of the contract and it is quite probable that the contract will be transferred to one of them in a few days. In that event work of construction may again be started at once.
 Several members of the Bridge Commission, when interviewed by a Graphic representative. stated that they knew none of the particulars about Romeheld trouble, but that they were not worried as the board is amply protected, and they feel confi- dent that Jackson & Kavanaugh will be able to carry out their contract.

ELK'S HOME GOES
 TO BEDFORD, INDIANA
HOT SPRINGS LOSES OUT IN ITS CHAMPAIGN FOR NATIONAL
 HOME FOR B. P. 0. Els.
Will Be Given 400 Acres and Income of $1O,OOO By Aged Residents
 of That Place.

Hot Springs, Aug 19.-The Elks' national home will be located at Bed ford, Ind. This is the news brought back by Tom Doherty, who has re- turned from Cincinanti, where he at tended the Moose convention. Mir. Doherty visited New York and De- troit while away Hot Springs was bidder for the home.
 Garry Hermann, chairman of the national home committee, told me three days ago the committee had de- cided to locate the home at Bedford, Ind, on account of the extra good in- ducements made there," said Mir. Do herty. "They wanted to favor Hot Springs but the Bedford proposition was so much better they took that"
 According to Mr. Doherty two old people, each 90 years old, have agreed to give the Elks 400 acres of land which brings an annual income of $2O,O00 year provided they are kept ct tHC iiOIIlc IOI luc lCoC VI CHSIl liN Co. On this land is located fruit farm that brings an annual rental of $10,000 year and granite quarry that rents for $1O,O01 year.
 This same proposition was made at the Rochester meeting of the Elks lodge and it was for the purpose of in- vestigating it that the committee was appointed. Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Bedford City. Va, were the other two bidders.
 Bedford. Ind, is an ideal location. It is just a few miles from Chicago, and not very far from St. Louis. There are three railroads running through it.
 The home is at present located at Bedford City, Va. It is a mile from railroad station and only thirty peo pie have gone there during the past year. The Elks will be able to build one of he beat homes III the country q. the new location. The income of l $2O,000 a year will be ample to keep it up.

SEPTEMBER 3-4
 GOOD ROADS DAYS
{ Governor Hays Issues Proclamation Setting Aside Days On Which All Roads of State Are Expected
 to Be Worked.

Little Rock. Aug. 19.-Arkansas stepped into the front rank of road building states when Gov George w. Hays on Tuesday morning issued a proclamation setting aside Wednesday and Thursday. September and 4, as Good Roads Days" throughout the state.
 On these days every citizen of the state of Arkansas must aid the good roads cause, either by working the roads himself. contributing to the inn provement of the highways, by holding institutes at which good roads will be taught, or public meetings at which plans for future good roads throughout the state will be laid
 The governors proclamation is as follows:
 Whereas, There is no matter of a greater public or private interest than the development of a system of good roads throughout the state, and
 Whereas There has been notable awakening of interest everywhere manifested ill the numerous mass meetings. in the expressions of the press. and in the enactments of the recent legislature. all of which will go to prove that there is a growing real .Ssya@;o, <.F tbo ,;tol ;,,,,O,t o,,oo <,f Duh lie highways of the highest class ready to be crystalized into a statewide concerted effort at road improvement, and
 Whereas, This is a matter deserv- ing not only the attention of farmers and business men, who have need for the roads, but. also of the chief execu- tive of the state. who is charged in directly with it's welfare. and
 Whereas, No better method occurs to me for furthering the cause of gooC roads than the setting apart of day or days to be. dedicated to the study discussion and practical advancement, of good roads;
 Now, therefore. l. Geo. W. Hays governor of the State of Arkansas, do hereby set apart and designate the third and fourth days of September A. D. 1913, being the first Wednesday and Thursday of said month. as Good Ac Af which days all persons interested in this cause are requested to contribute in whatever manner may seem most appropriate for the advancement ot good roads by holding institutes, pub lie meetings, road workings, or in any other manner best suited to each re- spective locality.
 ''In testimony whereof. l have here unto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state this 16th day of August 1913. Il think good roads will do more to advertise the state than anything else" said Governor Hays. "and l will lend all aid to their building while am governor.
 It is thought that the various coun- E ties throughout the state will get to- gether on the proposition and that roads will be built to put the whole state on a s!rm basis so far as road
 hliIdiug is concerned
