She went on:
I'VE who worked so hard to ad-

the Legislature of 1914 would like to
try again to put it on the statutes.
We did not ask for this hearing and
we were surprised when we heard of
it."
Mrs. Beckinridge was introduced by
Mrs. Colby, She said she believed
some states will stay out of the suf-

Rabbi Wise said the voting privi-

Some women ask Why should we

TEST|FIES SPEER
COERCED CLIENTS
Georgia Attorney-General Says
Judge Often Intimidated Wit
nesses in Court.

SAVANNAH, Jan. 2S.-Thomas S,
Fielder. attorney general of Georgia,
was the first witness today before the
congressional committee investigating
charges against Federal Judge Emory
Speer. He testified that the judge
had on occasions attempted to intimi-
date his clients.
I'm the peonage case of Chauncey,
of Pulaski county" testified Felden,
Judge Speer apparently sought to
coerse my clients into pleading guilty.
We had many character witnesses on
hand. but Judge Speer would allow
only a few of them to testify.
I'm overruling my motion to direct
q verdict for the defendants, Judge
Speer dissertated on the sweetness of
liberty, the American flag, etc, and
at the end of his remarks he said,
in the presence of the jury, that If
there ever was case of peonage, this
Is one
Judge Speer took me to task be-
fore the jury for using the word
'nigger' and even threatened to strike
my name from the list of attorneys
authorized to practise in his court.
All this, believe, was done to infiu-
ence the jury against my CLIENT he
said.
Mr.. Fielder testified that the jury
In the case acquitted his clients and
a few weeks later citizens of Pulaski
county arranged TO give a barbecue
to celebrate the acquittal. ut was
printed in the papers" the witness
added. that the jurymen would be
invited. Judge Speer caused a warn
ing to the jurymen to be published
that If they attended the barbecue
they might be held in contempt of
court" The barbecue was not given,
Mr.. Fielder said
Referring to another case tried be-
fore Judge Speer the witness charged
that the jury was not selected in
accordance with the law. Just be-
fore the trial of the case, Mr.. Fielder
stated that he obtained a list of
jurymen and found that all were
from Macon. 81 Immediately became
suspicious" added Mr.. Fielder, "be-
cause | realized that if the jury had
been legally drawn in open court by
the Judge from the jury box. all the
jurors would not have come from
Macon. l found that the jury in the
case was selected by Marshal White
from among the names of the jury
list"

suffragette women suffer just as
much from modern unrest as do the
women suffragists. This unrest con-
quered and fused into serenity of
spirit makes for the permanent
quality and value of home and the
race. Such quality and value would
both be seriously impaired by our
entrance into political life"
Every train that entered the city
after the early forenoon carried a
quota of advocates of the cause" and
"antis." The women came from all
directions, and not alone from this
State, for each side saw the efficacy
of numbers, and had mustered in all
the supporters possible, no matter
where from.
Particularly were the suffragistS
anxious to present strong front.
The obtaining of today's nearing was
much in the nature of victory for
the "antis,'' who, learning the vote
seekers did not intend to ask for a
hearing on the suffrage resolution
this year, asked for and obtained a
hearing themselves. To offset any
good this stolen march might do their
enemies, the suffragists determined
to outnumber the foes of the equal
ballot at today's hearing. after they
had obtained the consent of the
Legislature to making today's ses-
sion a joint hearing.
The suffrage measure was reported
| favorably by the House judiciary
committee Monday night and passed
| its second reading. Under the rules
the resolution will have to lie over
ten days before coming up for final
passage.
Last year the Legislature passed a
resolution to submit the suffrage
question to a vote of the people and
it was to have been passed at the
present session, under the provisions
of the constitution, and submitted to
erly advertise the resolution, how
ever, nullified the action of the last
Legislature and the resolution will
have to be passed by the present and
the next Legislature in 1915 before
it can, be voted upon by the electors.
Among the Newark suffragists here
are Mrs. w. w. Oppenheim, Mrs.
Charles Boni. Mrs. Victor Parsonet,
Mrs. L. H. Rollin, Miss Emma Rich
Mary Hussey, Mrs. E. f. Feickert,
State president, and Mrs. Mary K
Colvin, vice-president; Miss Gertrude
Helm, Mrs. R. M. Laird, Mrs. Louise
Lesser, Mrs. Frances Cingeo and Mrs.
William Fairlie, of Newark; Mrs.
Esther Ogden, president of the Eliza

NAME CONNERS IN
BAGMAN INQUIRY
Former New York State Demo-
cratic Chairman Conferred
With Contractors.

ALBANY. n. Y, Jan. 2s.-Com-
missioner Osborne, commenting on
the evidence presented by Daniel l..
Mott. a Utica contractor, at the in
quiry today remarked: THE close
connection between politics and the
highway department I consider one
of the rottenest conditions in the
State. I am going to have a law
pjassed that will make it a misde-
meanor for any contractor, who has
State highway contract or who is
expecting one, to make any contribu-
ton to any political party"
Mott said that he was invited in
1908 by William ]. Connors, of Buff
falo, Democratic State chairman, to
attend a meeting of contractors in
New York city for the purpose of
discussing political and contracting
prospects. "Connors told me over the
telephone ne said. that the matter
to be discussed would be of vital in
terest to me and to all contractors,
as it would relate to future contracts.
I went and met this Democratic
chairman He told me the Democrats
expected to elect their ticket and eN-
pected to make road work easier and
more lucrative for contractors. I
told him l wasn't in sympathy with
him. He seemed to lose interest in
me and I returned home"
In 1911 Mott said he was invited to
another conference" this time with
Everett P. Fowler. who has been
termed the "bagman" of the Demo
cratic State Committee
Il was invited" said Mott, ITO come
to Syracuse on a matter of great i'm
portance. 1 thought l was to be
asked to contribute. and although l
felt that a contribution mihgt help
me in getting highway business, |
sent my regrets
In the same year Mott said his pay
on a $50 600 contract was held up nine
months
