ATTACK BY LAWYER
CAUSED TROUBLE
Chairman Webb Declined to
Allow Judge Speer to Pro
ceed With Personally Con
Quoted Argument, and
Judge Tried to Make Com
mittee Read Charge Wit
ness Criticized.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Macon, Ca, Jan. 25.-Smarting un-
der the testimony of District Attorney
Alexander Akerman, Feoeral Judge
Emory Speer, today for he first time
since the investigation OF his official
conduct was begun by a. congressional
committee. attempted to address the
inquisitors. The jurist sprang to his
feet with his attorneys plucking at
his coat sleeves and admonishing him
to be seated, and said your honors,
if you please, have sat quietly here
and listened to Misrepresentation
which have been heaped upon me. Just
a minute
Judge broke in Chairman Webb,
Il suggest that you have your coun-
sci make any remarks you wish made
Il am d lawyer myself" replied
Judge Speer, ''and just wish the priv
ilege of reading the charge which Mr..
Akerman has just attacked"
Chairman Webb declined to allow
the jurist to proceed, but stated that
the committee would take the charge
and read it.
The scene was precipitated when Mr..
Alderman in his testimony accused
Judge Speer of delivering a charge
which was anita agonistic to the govern
ment.
THE oath WITNESS.
United States District Attorney AL
exander Alderman today appeared as
the Gath witness before the sub-com-
mittee of the house committee on ju-
dietary in the congressional investi-
cation OF charges of official misconduct
against Judge Emory Speer, of the
United States court, southern district
of Georgia.
Mr.. Akerman testified that the legal
firm of which he was member rep
resented Henry Jemison, said to have
been in the employ Of Judge Speer,
at the time Jemison was convicted of
a violation of a city ordinance and
sentenced to the chain gang. Jemison
later was released by order Of Judge
Speer in habeas corpus proceedings.
On appeal of the city of Macon to
the supreme court of the United
States, and the reversal of the de-
cision of the lower court, Mr.. Aker-
man said he carried the mandate of
the higher tribunal to Judge Speer's
along with order prepared by the city
recorder Of Macon. The order if
signed, he said, would make tn man
date of the higher court effective.
Judge Speer declined to sign the or
der, and the following day 1t was again
presented to him and he again de-
clined TO sign 1t.
NO DRUG FtEND.
do you know anything concerning
the charge that Judge Speer is ad-
dicted to the drug habit?" asked Chair
man Webb.
Not of my own knowledge" replied
the witness. Il can only give you the
opinion of q lawyer. have frequently
observed the judge grow irritable, rest
less and impatient; that on such &C
casions he would recess his court and
go to chambers for i've or ten min
utes, when he would remount the
bench with his old-time viogr.''
That Judge Speer would leave his
judicial district every year from July
1 to November was also asserted by
the witness.

, they always came out all right. But
times have changed, and plans and
methods must alter with them.
For the 1916 Olympics a much
larger team will be sent from our
shores than ever before. They will
be sent sooner and will stay longer;
and there will be more trainers and
coaches to accompany and work
with them. All this means a much
larger expense list than heretofore,
and if we are to carry present plans
through we will have to make an
| early start to make sure of the &C
emulation of the wherewithal.
The executive affairs of the team
will be in the hands of a committee
of 121, representing all sections of
the country. Some sixty prominent
individuals will be asked to act as
vice presidents, including our Min
lister to Germany and Germany's
Minister at Washington. This is a
nice courtesy for our A. A. t. Off
