GUARDSMEN WORKING
HARD TO MAKE THEIR
TOURNAMENT SUCCESS

The national guardsmen are putting
the finishing touches on their work
of preparation for the military tourna-
ment that is to formally open the new
armory Friday night, with a second
exhibition and finals of events on Sat
urday. 1t has been a big task for all
the companies to get squads ready for
the various events, owing to the fact
that besides having three entirely new
companies in the regiment, all the
other companies have been recently
recruited up to strength, making it
necessary to devote a lot~of time to
straight company drill in order to
make any sort of showing in the mill.

adjusting the bottom in other ways.
The expense incident is quite large.

quired. p -. p
I, 1t was the original intention of the
secretary of the navy to utilize i'm
mediately the plans presented by Mr..
Noble. He proposed appearing before
the proper house committee, state the
circumstances and urge an appropri-
alton of the needed funds. The exc
cution of this determination was pre-
vented by the opinion Of Attorney
general McReynolds, holding that the
contractors would thereby be released
from all responsibility and liability.
1t Is explained by Secretary Dan
iels that there is no purpose Of aban-
doning the dry dock at Pearl Harbor.
If completion along present lines is
impossible the Noble plan will be ta5
ken UP. The suggestion of a drydock
on the Pacific coast is only in addi-

as o substitute for It, Naval officials
believe there should be a drydock at
some suitable Pacific coast point for
use in the event of Pearl Harbor be-
ing cut off during hostilities with

Judge Emory Speer. federal magis-
trate of the Southern district of
Georgia, is severely arraigned in a
report which was filed by the house
judiciary committee today. The judge
is charged with the misuse of his
high authority as an official of the
United States, and while there is no
doubt. in the minds of the investi-
gators, of the guilt of the jurist, the
evidence Is considered insufficient to
warrant the institution of impeach-
ment proceedings The committee
men believe that 1t would be impos-
sible to secure a conviction In the
senate.
Judge Speer was appointed to his
present position In 1885. He was
elected to congress in 1879 as an

as an independent. afterwards attili
