esrninu Cases Before Him.

Macon, Ca, Jan. % -The COMMITTEES
investigating the charges against Fed
eral Judge Emery Speer announced on
Tuesday that the attorneys for the
jnrist would be restricted in their
ton Of witnesses. y
5s It seemed to be the opinion Of the
committee that too much latitude has
been allowed Speers counsel in this
particular In consideration OF the fact
that this Is equivalent to a grand jury
inquiry and is not "a trial.
More than forty witnesses from va
8rious parts OF the state have arrived.
One of. them is Attorney General 7. s.
Fielder. The judges lawyers and
( friends are confident that the hrst
days probing did not hurt him. J.
w. Preston, ST., q retired attorney,
was the first witness. He said that,
4 In the John T: Roberts case and In the t'
Williams case Judge Speer had denied
the defendants a fair and impartial
trial and manifested an intent and
purpose to bring about thbir convic-
! ton. Y He said Judge Speer generally
took Sides In the trial Of all cases
before hing. He praised Judge speers
mental capacity and ability to preside,
but said the judge took personal
I. charge Of all cases and sought to
sway 1uries, attorneys and parties.
Preston declared that Judge Speer's
influence was empowering ana l
caused unjust verdicts. :" v
Minter sWimberly, ex-city attorney.
was called d to testify regarding the
Henry Jemison case. Wimberly was
an eyasive witness and 1t was only
after repeated questions from Chair
man Webb that he admitted that
Judge Speers was fully nformed OF the
Supreme court mandate In the Jemi!
son case and that Judge Speer would
mot act on the mandate for over seven
months ,iSsa
II. J. Simmons, managing editor 1of
the Macon News, testified that Judge
ESpeer frequently solicited publicity
,and often wrote articles about him
self and cases In court. Louis Pei
lew. druggist, testified that he sold
Judge speer about four ounces Of CO.
scaine per year for ten years or more.
Mr.Pellew also testified that after be-
ing summoned as q witness he had
consulted with Judge speer and his
attorneys that he had knowingly sold
the cocaine In violation OF law and
that he had been given receiverships

Quarrying Work
May BeFinished
In Tpo Weeks
AMOUNT OF STONE TAKEN FROM
cITY's LOT A BIG SURPRISE
TO ALL.
COAL ALSO UNDERLIEs THE SITE
FOR CONTEMPLATED
BUILDING.

With fair weather for the next two
weeks, it is expected that the quarry
work which was made necessary by the
contemplated addition to the city hall
will be finished. The amount OF stone
taken from the site has been greatly
in excess Of what was anticipated be-
fore hand, and even men who have had
years of experience in quarrying rock
say that they were badly fooled in maxi
ing their estimates OF the number OF
perches to be removed.
Besides the rock which is being saw
ed for the new building, a great amount
has been sold and the walls on Parks
avenue and McNeely street have been
built and still there may be some ex'
cess.
A great deal Of anxiety among the
city officials has been relieved by the
fact that the workmen have gone down
as deep as necessary in a number OF
places and still solid rock Is found.
Many Of the older Inhabitants OF the
city have claimed that the coal h;Al
been taken from beneath the surface at
this point, and that in making the ex'
cavations the old mine would be struck.
II this had been the case, a great deal
mre trouble would have been expert
enced before a building could have
been erected.

Statements
For Today

By ASSOCIATED PREss.1
BERLIN, vial The Hague and Lon
don, Nov. 1S.---An official war bulle,
tin given out in Berlin today sets
forth that the operations on the east
ern front are progressing favorably,
The Germans apparently are using
their victory at Wloclawek to the
greatest advantage. The Russian
army defeated near Lipne is today
probably in the vicinity Of Plock, and
the forces defeated near Wloclawek
are now near Kutno and Leschytea.
For the continuance of operations
the bulletin goes on to say, it will be
Of the greatest Importance for the
German troops, from the region OF
soIdau, to make further progress
against the right wing Of the main
Russian army. If the Russians intend
to retire behind the Vistula such a
retreat considering the extremely bad
conditions OF the road would be mos.
difficult. s5
Consequently, the Russians .probai
bly, will prefer to make q definite
stand when the Germans and Aus;
TRANS forces attack.

today, that the fan Of Belgrad serxia
