Savannah, Ga, Jan 26.-When the
congressional investigating committee
of the United States congress met
here this morning, Alexander Law
renee, one of the most prominent at
torneys in Georgia, was the first wit
ness called by Chairman Webb. Mr.
L,awrence's testimony was to the effect
that Judge Emory Speer, who is under
investigation, never drew a jury leg
ally. that he packed the Greene and
Gaynor jury, that the judge never DIRE
a jury in open court, as the law re
quires, that the judge only drew men
on the juries that he knew would con-
Wet parties he wanted convicted, that
the Judge was bloodthirsty, that bank
rupts had no chance in his court, that
the Judge would make deals with law
yers to have their clients plead guilty,
that the lawyers in various parts of
the district were greatly inconvenience
ed by having to run to Macon, Nj.
Airy or Highlands, N c., to get their
matters before the court, that Judge
Speer disobeyed the mandate of the
United States circuit court of appeals,
that the judge only appointed his fay
orites as receivers in bankruptcy cases

EGYPTIAN WOMEN
REFUSES TO WEAR VEIL

Cairo, Jan. 26.-Abolition of the
veil is vexing the souls of eastern wo-
men, who feel it represents a semi
slavery This is true, particularly OF
Egypt, where Moslem women have
more opportunities of studying the
ways of the western world by reason
of the large number of European wo-
men inhabiting this country, with
whom they come in frequent contact.
Their attire is becoming more and
more like that of Europeans.
The veil is a stumbling block. In
modern times it has been made so fine
that girls beauty is not very difficult
to see through the mist of muslin But
it is the sense of liberty that is lack
ing. Moslem priests insist on thu
wearing Of wells by women.

There is no particular development

the president explained today, which
had caused him to call the senate for
eign relations committee into confer

tation on foreign affairs was the reason
given for the meeting.
The American government, it is un-
derstood from the white house, is on
the way to satisfactory settlements
with Colombia for the partition of Pam
ANA. No immediate recommendation
to congress is in contemplation by the
president in connection woth the Pam
anna canal tolls question, but it will be
one of the subjects taken up at to-
nights conference. The unratified ar
bitration treaties, the president also
expects to talk over with the senator's,
as well as the Japanese situation.
1t was learned in that connection
that although the question Of new
treaty with Japan has been discussed
informally, no formal suggestion has
come from Japan.

Mr.. James {, Denham has assumed
the duties of foreman of the Americas
shops OF the Seaboard Air Line, sue
ceeding Foreman ELAN Mauk, who has
held that position during several years.
The appointment of MIR. Denham came
in the nature of surprise in local
railroad circles, as it was not gener-
ally understood that any such change
was contemplated. Mr.. Mauk has
served in that capacity a long while
and, apparently, with satisfaction. Mr..
Denham was for eighteen years con-
nected with the Americas shops, and
at the time the forces there were re-
duced several months ago he was fore
man of the boiler-making department
but was later transferred to the COM
panys shops at Savannah. His family
continued to reside here, however, AMI
his return to Americas is a matter
q congratulation among his friends.
