GAVE HISTORY OF
INTERESTING CASE
Witness Said Corporation
Had Been Paying Divi-
dends For Long Term of
Years When Judge Issued
midnight Order Nam
ing Receivers For the
Company.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 27.-Charges
that Federal Judge Emory Speer
wrecked the Central of Georgia Rail
road and banking company in 1892
today We're made before the congress
sional committee investigating charges
of official misconduct against the jur-
list, by A. r. Lawton, vice president Of
the Central of Georgia Railroad.
The witness testified that the corpo-
ration had been paying dividends for
4, 1892, Judge Speer issued a mid
night order naming receivers for the
company. At the time, according to
the witness, the par value of the cor
poration's stock was 500 and its
market value S110.
The naming of a temporary receiver,
which was made permanent a few
days later Mr.. LaWton testified, alb
soluteIy destroyed the credit of the
company. The witness claimed that it
was impossible to reorganiZe the COM
pany for more than two years. and
that when the reorganization finally
was effected, a competing company
became the beneficiary owner.
Judge Speer interrupted the pro-
ceedings again today during the tes-
timony of H. w. Meldrirn, a local at
the trial Of the Greene Gaynor case he
called the judges attention to certain
exceptions.
IS Judge Speer replied" Mr.. Meldrin1
continued, "I have long known your
peculiar views and I cannot reconcile
them with the oath you took when
you began to practice in this court
In reply to queries of Judge Speer's
counsel Mr. MeIdrir1 said:
VIEWS OF A DEMOCRAT.
My views were those of a Southern
gentleman, a democrat and one who
is loyal to his state and I was griev-
ously insulted at the cowardly remarks
of Judge Speer."
Judge Speer sprang from his chair
and asserted the insolenCe of the
language of this witness should be
checked 1t Is inconceivably wrong
that you will permit a witness to
speak of my conduct as 'cowardly.' 1t
should not be permitted
Chairman Webb raped repeatedly
Tor order and announced finally that
more temperate language must be used

POSITION ON THE
TOLLS QUESTION
Senators Who Have Talked
With Mr.. Wilson Said
That His Views Incline
Toward the Contentious
of Great Britain and That
He Would Make Public
His Attitude Soon.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Jan. 21.-That Presi-
dent Wilson is opposed to the eNemp-
ton of American coast-wise ships
from Panama canal tolls, was fatty
asserted at the capitol today by those
who know what took place at the con-
ference last night between the presi-
dent and senate foreign relations com
mittee.
Senators who talked with the presi-
dent said today that Mr.. Wilson fully
explained his position on the tolls
question, thac his views incline toward
the contentious of Great Britain and
that he would make public his atti-
tude soon.
Several senators expressed surprise
that, in view of the presidents posi-
tive attitude, he had not urged some
action at the extra session of congress.
What the president may recommend
was not disclosed in today's reports
of the White House conference, but
it was pointed out that two ways
might meet the views of the president.
One NouId b5 to repeal tI4e exeTnp-
ton provision of the act. The other
would be passage of the Adamson res
olution to suspend for two years op-
Grafton of the exemption clause and
thus demonstrate whether the canal
could be seIf-sustaining WithuOt tolls
from American ships.
1t was said today that the president
was not opposed to toll exemptions as
such, but that he was strongly of the
opinion that they would be a discrimi-
nation which would not agree with the
provisions of the -Pauuceforte
treaty.
WHERE DISPUTE TURNS.
The dispute between the United
States and Great Britain turns on the
construction Of article of the Hay

assertions, from those ex-ranehneu
whom she terms "shyster lawyer,

and general law breaking yrafters.
Since they did not deem it worth

Weber, although i am very we'll &c
q,saanted with several thoroughly hon
e-t and respectable formers who have
moved to Glenwood simply because
they were tired of ranch life, mot even
using the excuse Of schooling their
children.

1t is not so with Mrs. Weber. She

We must allow for different disposi
