The conduct Of these cases by Judge
Speer, as well IS other cases which came
to his court during many years prior,
has had the effect Of destroying the
usefulness of his court to the people
Whether justly or unjustly, the people of
the southern district OF Georgia have
ceased to feel that the United States court
for the southern district Of Georgia is
forum in which their constitutional rights
and liberties can be INDICATED and their
property protected. He has, by his con-
duct, made his very high and honorable
position one to excite the fear and sus-
picion, rather than to command the re-
spect and confidence Of ntigants.
That he allowed his personal friends
very liberal fees in bankruptcy cases
there is no question. He violated the
laws with reference to drawing Jurors
for which he was criticised by the circuit

Cruelty Unjust and Unfair.
II desire to have 1t distinctly under

tives of my associates. but the pro-
ceedings in this investigation have
been marked by acts cruelty unjust

protect the Judge against mere Islander

purpose than to disgrace and hu-

There are some suspicious circum-

in its Judgment would enable the Senate
to sustain articles Of Impeachment based
upon the conduct Of the Judge in these

PLANS PERMANENT
HOME IN CAPITAL
American College of Surgeons
Raises $125, 900 Of ST, 000,-
600 Endowment Fund.

PHILADELPHIA. June 23.-More than
$125ooO toward a permanent endowment
fund of $1,000, 900 was raised in few
hours yesterday at the second annual
convocatton Of the American College OF
Surgeons, held at tho Bellevue-stratford-
At the afternoon session the board OF
regents announced that permanent
home for tho college eventually would
be established at Washington, and that
a fund Of 100000 would be neces-
sary to carry out the plans Of develop
ment determined upon. Independent OF
the cost OF constructing the proposed
Washington home. No provision was
made for a building fund.
President j. NJ. T. Finney laid en-
phasis upon the fact that the college
was not close corporation, and that
the benefits to be derived from it would
accrue to future generations Of both
the patients and surgeons, by the rails
ing of professional standards and in
creasing the efficiency of the profession.
Speaks Of Opposition Met
President F1nney spoke Of the opposi-
ton that the college had met with from
the moment of its inception and said
that II, in less than TWO years, the Or
ganization could get the support and
membership Of 1000 surgeons Of the high
est standing in the country there was no
fear of it's future.
The raising Of the endowment fund and
the selection Of Washington as the perma-
nent home Of the college came as a
surprise at the mass meeting in the aft
ernoon. President Finney said the Ma
tional Capital afforded neutral ground
where the college could work without sus-
pcion of influence from any institution
Of medicine. The call for an endowment
fund met with applause
1t was unanimously agreed that no help
from outside the profession would be re-
ceived either for the endowment fund
or for the erection of the Washington
building, The headquarters as planned
now, will include national library, a
museum, a convention hall and quarters
for the general officers.

In the year recently ended we have
seen the last word In modern ship
building appear in New York harbor.
and 1t would perhaps be Interesting to
consider the strides made In this cen.
tury. In 1900 the twenty-thrce knot
Deutschland won the blue ribbon Of the
Atlantic, and when the Cunarders with
twenty-six knots to their credit obtain
ed the place It was prophesied that in .
few years the four day thirty knot boat
would be seen; but. though the sizes Of
ships have increased and shortly the
giant Imperator will no longer be the
mammoth Of the seas, the speed has
dropped. Economy In space, in fuel, In
cost Of operation. has compelled halt.
and we seem to have reached for the
moment the practical, highest speed Of
a transatlantic boat.
That the limit Is actually reached n
hardly possible, but the burden Of In
creased speed lies now not with tho
ship designer. but with the engine de-
signer. A smaller engine Of higher
speed with some az yet unknown re-
duction gear and we shall have the
