SAY SPEYER WAS
 FRIEND OF MUCK
This and Other Reasons Given for Revocation of
 Naturalization

London, Jan. 6. - (By Associated press)-A legations as to association with Karl Muck, formerly director of the Boston symphony orchestra, are sued today, explaining why the natu- realization of Sir Edgar Speyer was revoked. Among the allegations are a loan of S5,oo0 to a man named Ware for the benefit of the non non extinct Boston Journal; Sir Edgar's association with John <ercns; his tlafncking and combination with enemy subjects and his evasion of the British censorship.
 The report made to the home sec rotary by the certificates of natural i2ation revocation committee enumer- ates against Sir Edgar eight charges of improper conduct
 New York, Jan. 6.-(By Associated Press) In the course of a statement here today, Sir Edgar Speyer said he had been criticized in a British gov crnment report for his social ac- uuaintancc with a great musician, a citizen of Switzerland and of world wide renown. with whom a man of such undoubtnd patriotism as the late Col. (Maior?) Eligginson of Boston and many others even after America had entered the war, did not hesitate to meet in friendly intercourse
 I,6crar aid bc pronoSp1 'ip self defense to exhibit in their true light the origin, history and purpose of the proceedings' against him.
 "The decision of the commission" " he said 'is based on three great grounds, equally tcnuous and unten- able" What the committee charac- terizcd as trading with the enemy, he said, consisted of trifling transactions in arbitage and exchange with rep utabe Amsterdam banking house, as though it were disloyal to deal with Holland during the war as most British banking houses, including ours were doing with the full knowl- edge of the government,
 The second of the allegations he pointed out that of communicating with the enemy, consisted solely of his 'communicating with my sisters and their families in an entirely inno- cent way"
 The third count. he said was really that of "evading the censor with the full knowledge of the censor and in sisting upon the right to do so, in matters all of which were legitimate and innocent"
 "'Thc whole thing is neither more or less than the elimination of years of political persecution he said. "A perusal of the report convinces me that it is the work of men who, how ever learned in the law they may be, are entirely out Of touch with, and ignorant of business matters and who accordingly have reached unjust con- clusions on insufficient evidence. The home secretary simply dared not give me the vindication to which I was en- titled. l challenge the government to point to a strip of material cvi- dence that would induce any fair minded man to support the monstrous conclusions of this report"

COURT DECIDES
AGAINST HENRY
GOVERNOR HAS RIGHT TO sUS
PEND STATE OFFICIAL
OFFICIAL.
WILL GO TO HIGH COURT
Right to Appoint Successor to lnsur.
ance Commissioner Henry Also
Upheld by Judge Potter in
Court at jackson.

Jackson, Miss.-Judge Wiley H.
Potter has held that Gov. Russell had
the right to suspend Insurance Com
missioner T. M. Henry and to make
a temporary appointment to fill the
office. A statutory appeal with SUI
persedeas was allowed to the supreme
court, where the case will be made a
preference one.
This e that Commissioner Hen
ry will continue to bold the office
and Excel Coody, the governors
temporary appointee, will have to
wait until the supreme court passes
upon the matter.
When the court met the attorneys
for the insurance commissioner filed
a motion asking leave to plead furth-
er and submitting two pleas setting
up the defense which would be Of
fered on an issue of fact. After ar.
gument of the motion Judge Potter
overruled 1t, holding that the de-
murrer had covered both the law and
the facts, admitting the latter and
submitting the former.
This case grows directly out OF the
proceedings Of the revenue agent
against Commissioner Henry, charg~
ing him with failure to settle certain
taxes due the state.
Commissioner Henry paid over
some $4,000 to the revenue agent
on his claims and a suit is pending
in the circuit court for a further
amount claimed to be due the state by
the revenue agent.
When the matter was brought to
the attention OF the governor he took
action under the provisions OF the
statute authorizing him to suspend
any tax collector found to be in do
fault. Acting under this statute the
governor issued the order suspend
ing the insurance commissioner from
office and appointed Excel Coody to
take his place.
The whole matter will now 20 to
the supreme court and as a prefer
case should come up at an early
day.
