Hotel Force Too Late
To Save Printer Who
Sought Death by Gas

II. S Styron made sure Of death
when he determined Saturday upon
suicide in his room at the Gate City
Hotel, No 1903 1-2 South Forsyth
street He shut down the windows
tightly and plugged up every open
ing through which the gas could es-
cape from the room.
Then he wrenched loose the gas
fixtures at one side Of the room and
pulled down the small chandelier sus-
pended from the ceiling. Next he
calmly lay down on his bed to die.
In spite Of his careful prepare .
tions. the odor Of gas found its way
into the hall, and hotel attaches
forced their way in. Styron was still
alive An ambulance surgeon from
Grady Hospital worked over him half
an hour, but Styron died as he had
planned.
Financial difficulties arc supposed
to have caused the deed. Styron had
been at the hotel several months, and
had worked part of the time as a
linotype operator

fined $40 for excepting to one of the
judges statements.
MIR. Jones said the judge was too
quick TO appoint receivers without
notice, on eX parte hearings, and had
been several times censured for 1t by
the Appellate Court.
Colonel w. A. Huff went back on
the stand to elaborate his previous
testimony. He declared that in his

ney was "bulldozed" and inundated
by Judge Speer until he withdrew
from the case
Says Soul Diseased
Harry Stilwell Edwards noted au-
thor and former postmaster of Ma
con, in tetifying as to Judge Speer's
varying moods with regard to his
mental condition, described the
judges trouble as follows:
Destructive spirituality embraces
those emotions which we classify I'M
der jealousy, envy, malice, hatred,
self praise, love of praise and desire
ter public APPRECIATION. Those cover
destructive spirituality. They are IA
tai to the soul of any man that will
entertain them long enough. I think
they have Judge Speer in their grasp.
That is my opinion of Judge Speer."
Mr.. Edwards was the most interest
ing witness before the investigators
Friday afternoon.
Shift to Savannah.
After to-days sitting the probe
into the charges against Judge Speer
will shift to Savannah, where at least
4 week will be spent.
Judge Speers lawyers regard the
testimony of Friday of the most Sc
rious brought out. but they have an
explanation or reconciliation for every
feature of il.
A feature of the Friday afternoon
session was the introduction of an af-
fidavit from Harry Burns. a former
bailiff, in confederation of the charge
made by District Attorney Alexander
Alderman as to Judge Speer's alleged
manipulation of a jury at Albany in
the trial of a banker.
Kept Jury Walking.
This jury stood ten to two for con
viction, and the fact was reported to
Judge Speer. The District Attorney
swears that Marshal White stated
that he (White) had ben ordered by
the judge not to let the jury DELHI
crate any more, but to keep them
walking from supper to bedtime.
The affidavit from Bailiff Burns Is
to the same effect, and also that he
did walk the jury until 10 o'clock.
The next morning he brought the jury
into court, and a mistrial was de-
clared.
It is claimed by Judge Speer's at
torneys in regard to the jury episode
that he merely wished to give the
jurors plenty of exercise.

ABROAD

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Jan. "a
The Administration proposes to lend
its strength to expansion of the for
eign trade of the United States, said
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld IN
addressing the Chamber of Commerce
here day. He declared that the
days of Misunderstanding between
big business" and the Government
were at an end.
Il am not here" he said, ito arouse
the business conscience or to raise
the banner of revolt against business
procedure, and certainly not to de-
nounce or destroy. The sense of what
is fit, the knowledge of what is due
to their own honor, is low SO keenly
alive among the business community
that when the, achievements of our
recent discussions shall be wrought

Aim to Aid U. S. Trade.
The Department of Commerce has
for its chief-indeed, its sole-purpose
to aid in the growth of all our com
merce till it shall enter every land
and till its product shall be borne Oh

ment rests on confidence in the ability
Of the American business men to meet
without fear and upon equal terms
and with profit the men of any ma.
ton.
Let US ignore the evil prophets
who for political purposes preach ma
tiona panic. Let us see whether the
cry of business depression is true
America suffers from no disaster. She
is better off, when the worst Is said
than her sister nations. From tde'
bottom. which is not deep, she has al
ready arisen far and is rising. The
reaction from the Balkan war, which
tied the purse strings of Europe and
shut down its mills, was naturally re-
Elected here to some small degree. But
It was not serious.
at was perfectly proper that busl-
ness men whose output was affected
more or less by the new tariff should
give thoughtful heed how to adjust
themselves to it. They would have
been foolish had they done other
wise.
Day of Uncertainty Past.
TT was quite natural that men
should wait and wonder while the
currency bill was under discussion
They might fairly ask whether tae
old inhexible system was to continue,
so that in time of strain men might
not know what would happen.
These things are past. This is no
longer the DAY of doubt, but the hour
of hope. There is now pending III
Congress a reorganization of the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce in our department. 1t is TINS
great bureau which desis chiefly with
commercial affairs, Officers or TINS
bureau have been established in many
cities. The agents of the bureau
travel over the earth, each studying
his special subject. All of these ce-
ports are for the use OF the American
business man
'I do not wish you TO think the De-
psrtment of Commerce looks only
upon the foreign commercial field. But
we believe that much can be done FOR
the American business man there.
