Conceit,' Who Courts Noto-
riety' and Evades Justice.

SAVANNAH, Jan. 29.-When the
Speer inquiry was resumed here this
morning w. ". Osborne, law partner
of A. A. Lawrence, the first Savan-
nah witness, went upon the stand. He
declared that Judge Speer was czar
and that reform is necessary in the
district presided over by the judge.
Judge Speer is a good lawyer, Mr..
Osborne said, and he is literary
man, but he is also an unfair one. He
has a colossal conceit. loves the spot.
light, courts notoriety and runs a
court in which there is little Justice,
said the witness.
What we reed -hsSlsanussa SO ~. !Qss
borne, sis a judge and not a car. A
good judge and good court in this
district would do much toward max
ing the American flag loved and re.
spected here, but this will not be the
case while Speer is judge. l think 1t
is incumbent upon the Department OF
Justice to take some steps to relieve
the situation" /s
Mr.. Osborne read from the stand
the affidavits he gave the Govern
ment inspector who was here several
months ago getting evidence against
Judge Speer.
Judge Speer was not in court dur
ing the morning session. His counsel
said he was in his chambers prepar-
ing his defense.
To Expedite Hearing.
The Speer investigating commit
tee to-day decided to expedite mat
ters as much as possible by calling
nothing but entirely new witnesses
and to limit them to matters thu;
heretofore had not been touched upon
With half the week gone, only a small
portion of the witnesses to be exam
ined in Savannah have given testi-
mony, and unless matters are rushed
the committee. will not be able to fin
tsh by Saturday, the time set for the
adjournment here.

whose evidence is known to be some

Judge contended that he displayed IA
voritism in naming clerk for the
court in Savannah whose home was In

Committee Divided.
Already the possible report of the
committee seems to be shaping itself
In the line of questions asked by the
three committeeman it has been pref
ty clearly indicated Congressman A
j. Volstead, OF Minnesota, is not in
sympathy with congressman Webt
and Fitzhenry. Several times wher
witnesses have given testimony dam
aging to Judge Speer he has very
closely questioned them in an effort
to show Judge Speer was merely try
ing to conserve the best interests Of
the people and operate his court al
the least possible expense.
Congressman Volstead is a Repub-
lican and the other two members are
Democrats. 1t is reliably reported
that he is in sympathy with Judge
Speer and thinks the Impeachment
proceedings are nothing but politi-
cal attack. He Is not so very intimate
with the other two members of the
board and takes little part in the
bench conferences,

EXPECT BIG MEETING.
Friday Night When Hotel Exemption
Case Comes Up.

In the arguments for and against the
proposed exemption of the new hosiery
which the recently incorporated Barre
Hotel company says it will erect the
coming summer if taxes on the property
will be abated for period of five years
a question has been raised as to whether
the city meeting Friday night may be
properly called an annual or a special
meeting in its relation to the article on
hotel exemption. So far as the ineor-
porators of the Barre Hotel company
are concerned, il is to be held as a spe-
cial city meeting and in order TO avoid
any possible legal entanglements in the
future, they contend, il cannot be con-
sidered in any other way. A vote that
is entirely legal at special meeting
would also be legal in an annual meet
ing and to avoid any controversy, they
continue, Fridays gathering of the vot-
ers at city hall should be considered
only as special meeting.
Meanwhile the hotel and exemption
article are being linked with each other
in all quarters where local topics are
discussed. That the hotel under any
circumstances cannot be considered in
the light of probability unless the ex-
emption is secured seems to be set
tied conviction among those who have
interested themselves in its success as
well as those who challenge the wisdom
of extending exemption to any enter
prise. Out of the miscellaneous reasons
that are advanced on both sides there
energies, apparently, the perfect under
standing that the fruition of new hotel
plans in Barre hinges on the verdict Fri
day night Indications point to one OF
the most largely attended meetings in a
number of years. Several important
articles are to be considered, but it is
conceded that the proposal TO
exempt the hotel occupies the limelight
Just now and there is reason to be-
lieve that the article Incorporating that
is the lodestone that viii at

Governor Willing To Act.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. l6.-A re-
ward of 5000 was offered by Cover
nor James B. McCreary for the APP
prehension and conviction of pos
sum hunters" who have been terror
izing four western Kentucky coun-
ties during the past few weeks. .Coun-
ty Judge j j. Rice and County At
torney w. H, Gray, of Muhlenberg
county, called on the governor and
urged the action. An additional re-
ward of 5000 is offered by the county.
The county officials decided on the
step following the lynching of Henry
Allen, at Hillside, KY, Thursday
night. Sheriff Robert Wickliffe and
deputies have armed themselves with
shotguns and mean to engage the
regulators" if they show up in Muh-
lenberg county again.
Gov. McCreary said he received
his first official notice of the outrsges
in the coal fields Saturday. He was
not requested to order out troops,
but expressed his willingness to meet
the emergency with the whole state
militia if the step is deemed necessa-
ry. The governor said that he had
been informed by Judge Rice that
conditions as reported had in no wise
been exaggerated.
w. H. Kingston. of Morton's Gap,
Saturday wired the governor that
"possum hunters" had threatened
him with death unless he immediate
ly placed more men at work in his
mines. The warning also sta ed that
the mines would be destroyed.
