old folly of heraldry likely to con-
tinue? To a coat-of-arms no man,
literally speaking, has pretensions
who is not the representative of
somebody that bore arms in the old
English wars; yet even today, on the
payment of small sum- the obliging
gentlemen at the Herald's College
will put on their spectacles, turn over
their books like astrologers, and find
that you are deserving Of a lions paw,
or entitle you to clap three puppies

Heralds, indeed are of great an
tiquity, in the sense of messengers of
peace and war, but in the modern
sense they are no older than the
reign of Edward III. AS to their keep
ing records of all the old blood in the
kingdom they may keep them, or not,
as they have the luck to find them;
but the blood was old before they
had anything to do with it. Men
bore arms and crests when there
were no officers to register them.
Arms were not originally given;
they were assumed. Men in battle,
clad, as they were, in armor from top
to toe, found it necessary to have
their persons distinguished, and ac-
cordingly they put some device on
their helmet or shield which would
serve to mark out the bearer.
A cOat-of-arms is nothing but a
representation of the knight him
self from whom the bearer is de-
scended; the shield is his body; there
is the helmet for his head, with the
crest upon it; the flourish is his man
tie; and he stands upon the ground
of his motto. The supporters, if he
is noble or of particular class of
knighthood, are the pages that wait
ed upon him, designated by the fan
tastic dress of bear, lion, etc., which
they sometimes wore.

FIRST TIME SINCE AN INVESTIGA-
TlON HAS BEEN HELD
IN THIS COUNTY
JUSTICES MAY Be INDICTED
AFTER Thorough Investigation 1t Is
Expected That the Jury Will Com
plete Work Today and Report Tues
day to Superior Court.

An investiga lion is now being con-
Quoted before the Glynn county grand
jury which is probably the first OF
the kind ever held in this county. II
Is unusual in many ways, particularly
ihasmuch az it Is a trial, rather than
an investigation, in which those who
are under fire are, under law, given
the right of Offering q defense, employ
ing a lawyer and fighting the case Just
as II 1t was on trial before q court In
all other cases, as is well known. a
grand jury investigation is decidedly
a one-sided affair, the defendant new
er being given the privilege of repre-
sentation.
The trial in question is the investi-
cation of charges against the two JUS
tees of the peace in Brunswick, Judge
j. T. I.ambright and Judge J. r. Rob-
erson, and the cases are proving UNI
usually interesting.
Charges against these two officers
were lodged with the grand jury some
time ago and an investigation started.
The jury went into the cases before
1t adjourned earlier In the month and
1t was resumed when the body met
on Monday. While the two justices
are not being tried together, the cases
are progressing together, evidence in
one case being tried for a time and
then the other. The investigation is
private, no one being present except
the members of the jury, the attorney
and the Witnesses.
1t was staded yesterday that the in
vestigation into the case of Judge
Lambrlght had been practically com.
pleted, with the exception of one wit
ness, who will appear before the jury
today. The case of Judge Robertson
has also been nearly completed and by
late this afternoon 1t Is expected that
the jury will arrive at a decision In
both the cases.
In the event the jury finds that
these two justices are guilty of the
malfeasance in office, true bills will
be returned to the superior and again
the cases will be fought. Howeper, in
the event the charges are false, then
the matter will be dropped.
AS stated, Ii Is the first instance, as
far as Is known, that such case has
been up before the grand jury. Both
of the justices are represented by
Attorney J. r. Colson 1t is under
stood that some of the witnesses who
have appeared before the grand jury
have given strong evidence and it
would not be surprising if true bills
were returned against both of the Off
GERS.

vOLSTEAO GIVEN
MINORITY REPORT
ATTACKS THE METHODS OF FIND
lNGS OF THE MAJORITY SUB
COMMITTEE &

Washington, June 23.-Representa-
tive Volstead, Republican, of Mime
sofa, member of the judiciary sub
committee submitted minority re-
port which recommended a complete
eNoneration of Judge Speer and at
tackled the methods and findings of
the the majority subcommittee. who
held that the evidence did not warrant
Impeachment but criticized certain
acts of Speer.
Nolstead said that he did not crit
iciZe the motives of his associates,
but the methods employed in the in
vestigation he termed 'cruelly unjust
and unfair" No effort was made to
protect the judge against mere sian
der, abuse that could serve no other
late him. He declared that every en-
emy made in the 29 years on the
bench not only was invited but eag-
erly encouraged to heap innuendoes,
insinuations and insulting opinions, ut
terly illegal as evidence and incompe-
tent Tor any proper purpose.
He termed the evidence introduced
as "hearsay or secondary. He pre-
sented statistics to disprove the
charge that Speer had dissipated
bankruptcy estates by allowing eX-
cessive attorney fees. The average
cost in the United States districts of
the other members of the sub-commit-
tee from 1889 to 1872 was 1872. In
Speers' district it was 81.
The minority report in concluding
said: Judge Speer will be remem-
bered with pride by the people of
Georgia, not only for his ability, and IN
tegrity, but especially for what Mr..
Wimberly calls his many beautiful
acts of mercy to the poor and OPP
pressed"

New Orleans June 23-Carranza will
not accept the invitation OF rhe Uni
ted States government to send repre-
sentatives to meet informally with
agents of Huerta in an endeavor to Sc
lect a provisional president of MeXi-
co, according to statement here to-
day by Alfredo Breceda, private sec

Der of the latest commission Carranza
is sending to Washington.
Fernando lglesias Calderon is en-
route to Washington to confer with
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an, not as a representative of Carran-
"a but as leader of the liberal party.
With Alfredo Breceda, private secre-
tary to Carranza, and II. F.Villapicen-
tillo, he arrived here late yesterday
from the west. He expected to leave
for Washington last night, but the
start was postponed. The party prob
ably will leave tonight.
Calderon, who conferred with Car
rama just before ne left Mexico was
emphatic in his declaration that the
would not represent the constitution
alists in any negotiations that he
might enter either at Washington or
at Niagara Falls. His travelling com
pinions, however, stated that Calderon
might act as go-between for the con

than that the three Mexicans would
not discuss or say whether their jour.
ney would carry them farther than

,SPEER REPORT SUBMITTED

where the cases in which they were
committed have been reviewed by the
courts of appeal, while in others liti-
gants were unable, financially to pros
ecute appeals. That the power of the
court has been exercises in a despotfc
and autocratic manner by the judge
cannot be questioned.
The Jamison case is one of many
instances shown by the record where
the judge, without faint of individ-
ual corruption and with the apar-
emily laudable purpose of purifying
the community and inaugurating a
civic reform, disregarded the law
and apparently considered that the
end justified the means.
Forced Pleas of Guilty
The record shows instances where
the judge sitting in the trial of Grim
inal cases apparently forced pleas of
guilty from defendants or convictions
and there is strong evidence tending
to show that in one case, at least he
forced innocent parties oenter such
pleas through fear of the conse-
quences in the event of an unfavor-
able verdict at the hands of a jury
presided over by the judge in the
manner peculiar to himself.
The subcommittee regrets its in
ability to either recommend COM
plete acquittal of Judge Speer of all
culpability 50 far as these charges are
concerned, on the one hand, or an i'm
peachment on the other And yet it
is persuaded that the competent legal
evidence at hand is not sufficient to
procure conviction at the hands of
the Senate. But it does feel that the
record presents a series of legal op-
pressions and shows an abuse of jul
dicial discretion which, though fall
ing short OF impeachable offenses, de-
mand condemnation and criticism.
IF Judge Speer's judicial acts in
the future are marked by the rigOr-
GUS and infleXible harshness shown
by this record, these charges hang
impairing his usefulness, impeding
the administration of justice, and
endangering the integrity of Ameri-
can institutions.2

MERCURY GOES
TO CENTURY MARK
YESTERDAY THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEEN HOTTEST DAY OF
THE SUMMER

Flirting with century mark most all
of yesterday, the mercury refused to
even drop very much after the sun dis
appeared and the day went down as
probably the hottest of the present
summer.
While various people swore that
the thermometer at their homes aLl
Offices registered as high as lQ6, it
is understood that the highest the
mercury really climbed was 10f. This
was registered by the thermometer at
the post Office building. It was noon
day, characteristic of this section,
however cool a while and then hot,
but from time to time the sun put in
its appearance early yesterday mo IL
ing until 1t disappeared, it was a
roaster. And even last night the Us
ual delightful sea breeze was missi *
and sweltering humanity found relief
only under the little electric fans,
which was worked overtime during
the entire day.
The hot weather was not confn ID
alone Of this section From elery
quarter last night came the report
that the day had been an unusually
hot one.
The weather man promises but 1t-
tie relief today, though it may be
slightly cool 1t Is to be hoped, how
ever, that the mercury will take a fall
from the 100 mark.

CHARGE IN DETAIL

Washington, June 23,-The report
tales up the charges in detail and
comments on them at length. 1t in
cludes these findings:
A reading Of the record makes it
plainly evident that throughout the
long period of his service Of almost
thirty years, there has feen an utter
lack of harmony between the judge
of the United States court for the
southern district, as we'll as the pee
pie. The committee found revenge
full spirit evidenced frequently by the
testimony of witnesses toward Judge
Speer and on the other hand a super
rlor consciousness of the great power
of the judge over all matters coming
before him and the rights Of the peo-
pie of his district.
"An examination of the record in
this. case is suggestive of the fact
that early in his judicial career Judge
Speer ascertained the limit TO which
he could go before liability to i'm
peachment for official conduct accrue
and went as close to the line upon
many occasions as safety would per-
nit. r
Used Opportunity to Punish Counsel.
Having literary attainments, ora
torical ability, and a keen intellect,
knowing the privileges of Judge
sitting in the trial of cases before
inv inhpnd thnf
jury was permitted to return YER
dict contrary to his wishes, regard
less of all the facts. The right rec
ognized in the jurisprudence of Uni
ted States judges to sum up the facts
in jury cases has been used with ire
mendous effect by the Judge. A mo-
tion at the close of plaintiffs testi-
mony, or of the governments evidence
to instruct the jury, has frequently
been made to afford an opportunity
to deliver speeches prejudicial to the
rights of the parties to the case. In
this manner the sitting judge was EN-
abled to repeatedly punish counsel
whom he did not like, as we'll as It'll
gants. These practices have been in
dulged in with frequency as to lend
color to the charge frequently made
made among members of the bar of the
southern district OF Georgia to the eff
feet that the right of trial by jury h as
practically been suspended for more
than a quarter of a century.
Fees to TalIey G. Hayward Setween
$4,000 and $4,000.
''In all of the testimony there Is
no evidence of any direct appointment
by the judge himself OF Mr.. Heyward
the judges son-in-law, to any official
position. The appointments ran TO
j. n. Talley, who was Mr.. Hayward :
partner; that is where made by the
judge. Frequently, however, he was
employed for an attorney for receife
and trustees, but In those cases the
fees were allowed, where they were
allowd directly to Mr.. Hey yar', by
.receivers in bankruptcy, trustees or
special masters, and where Mr. il2y-
wa1d would be allowed a fe+ as re-
reiy1r or trustee, this fee would first
be fixed by the master in chancery
or special master, as the case might
be. The fees and en- oluments to Tai
