QUIT EFFORTS To
GET HARL|N BAIL
Accused Realty Broker Remains
in County Jail After Confer
enCe of AttorneyS-Rumor
of Guilty Plea.

Efforts to obtain bail for Albert G..
Harlin. realty and loan broker. ar
rested Friday on charges of forgery.
were abandoned Saturday. 1t was
said this action was the result of a
conference Of attorneys representing
Harlin. who decided this to be the
best course.
A flood of charges, which it was eX-
pected, would follow those filed by
George Foster, would result in Har-
Inns repeated rearrest and ultimately
force him TO remain in Jail pending
the developments i'm his case, even
though he obtained the $4,000 bail
required on Fosters atfidavits.
Harlin spent a restless night at the
jail sleeping hardly any and pacing
his cell much of the time.
Preparations for the grand jury in
veStigatiOn we're being made Satur-
day by Prosecutor Montgomery.
Scores of witnesses are expected TO
be summoned in the probe and much
of the matter brought out I'm the eX-
animation of Harlin in bankruptcy
proceedings will be gone over.
Tt was rumored Saturday that such
an investigation might be unneces-
sary, that Harlin might take chances
with the court and enter d plea OF
gHilty His failure to enter a denial
or even a definite answer concerning
the signatures on the notes which he
is charged with having forged gave
color to this report.
1t was intimated that one reason
for the institution of criminal pro-
ceedings against Harlin was the hope
that he might be forced to turn over
money which it was believed. might
be secreted. Harlin strenuouSly de-
MED that he had any property secret
ed when asked if he did not have Sc
curieties in a safe deposit box in Chi
cago. He declared every dollar he
has is listed in his schedule OF as
sets filed in the bankruptcy proceed
ings
Several others had consulted with
Prosecutor Montgomery regarding
Harlin's case asking what they
could do" but Foster was the first
one who was willing to sign affidavits
The first consideration with many of
the complainants was 10 retrieve
their losses, but finding that the as
sets will pay bat a small percentage
of the claims against Harlin, they
turned TO criminal action.

Perkins carried the offer Of the
commissionership from Mayor Mitchell
10 Col. Goethals.
"Col. Goethals did not make any
promises. but j think ne viii accept, -
said Perkins.
That Col. Goethals was willing to
accept the place is said TO be due TO
two WOmen-Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt,
wife Of the former president, and Mrs.
GOethals. who IS tired of the isthmus.
When Mayor Mitchell went to Panama
last fall and asked Col. GOethals TO ac-
cept the invitation the colonel declin-
ed.
Soon after Mayor Mitchell left. Mrs.
Roosevelt arrived in Panama on her
way home from South America, where
she had accompanied Col. Roosevelt.
She was a guest of Col and Mrs.
AitcheTs offer and Col. Goethals dec
IinatiOn. she urged him to consider
and enlisted Mrs. GOethals on her side.
She told him Of the New York police
department from her experience while
Col. Roosevelt was commissioner and
of the position and its political possi-
hilities.
Mrs. Goethals became enthusiastic
anC promised to do all she could to
induce her husband to leave the
tropics and go to New York.
Two obstacles stand in the way of
Col. GOethals immediate acceptance:
First. he viii not consent TO leave
Panama to assume the duties until the
final completion OF the canal the lat
ter part of the year.
Second. he asks for an amendment

restore members of the police force
vino are dismissed for the good or the
service.
In statement sent to the mayor,
Col. Goethals said
Assuming that / will be allowed to

pleted. and that on application I will
be placed on the retired list. attrac-
tive as your offer is. / would be

SPEER HAS SECOND
SHOW Of TEMPER
Federal Judge Has to Be Re-
strained BY Attorney From
Insisting on Statement in
Own Behalf.

MACON, Ga. Jan. 2A-When the
investigation Of Federal Judge Speer
resumed Special Investigator Lewis
detailed the result of his researches
into the court records with regard TO
the fees paid TO A. II Hayward, the
sOn-in-law of Judge Speer and the
former Jaw partner of y. y. Talley,
the Judges ex-private secretary. This
record showed that Hayward as re-
ceiver. custodian or trustees and the
firms Of Talley and Hayward. and
Isaac Hayward had received several
hundred fees during the last ten
years, amounting to many thousands
of dollars. The charge is that Judge
Speer showed favoritism to them and
also awarded them, or approved, eX-
Cessive fees
The cross examination of Lewis
was featured by another manifesto
tion Of feeling on the part of Judge
Speer. The judges lawyers had ask
ed permission TO put into the record
two letters. The committee did not
think it proper.
The judge rose, his face indicating
the intensity Of his emotions

monstrate when Speer in response to
the insistence Of his counsel, sat
down.
Alexander Akerman. district attor-
nov told tho ifrHuafc hoh Nvfl
Mr.. Akerman swore that he believ-
ed Judge Speer used cocaine or some
other drug; that he would leave the
bench when he became irritable, and
go TO an ante room, that upon re-
turning in few minutes he would be
in fine humor and brilliant in his
demeanor. He testified that the Judge
woefully neglected the business Of the
court, going away for three, four or
five months each summer. He said
the judge only liked to try such GRIM
inal cases as attracted newspaper at
tention.
SIr. Akerman declared that in his
opinion Judge Speers mind had been
since June, 1907. He said
that on one occasion in that month
the judge who had always used chaste
language, indulged in a violent out
breaiy of obscene words, and acted as
if his mentality was tainted.
Wnen Mr.. Akerman teStlIled that
Judge Speer unduly influenced the
Frank Scarborough case III Albany,
Judge Speer arose from his seat de-
spite the objection of his counsel and
said:
your honors, I have stood this
thing as long as / can but / can't rest
under that statement or to any charge
to the jury. 1 have a charge and

man Howard, hadn't you better let

judge, "let me finish

"You had better not make a state
ment at this time. Please sit down,
