VOLUME XXXVI. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1921. "UBR3 JUDG[ K. M. LAIOI8 IMPEACHID IN H1OU8[ Representative From Ohio Charges High Crimes SENATOR DIAL COMES BACK dieiary Com:miftive of the House While )iIi Flays tihe Judge in hI le Senate ('hamblier. Washington, Feb. 1 I.--On charges of high crimieis an(1 inisdeieanorsi, Fed eral Judge Kenesaw M\otintain Landis, of Chicago, iwas inieached in . the House of Representatives today by Representative Welty, ilecmocrat, of Ohio, because of his acceptance of tile office of supreme arbiter of base ball while still serving on the bench. In taking this stup the Ohio mem ber swept aside an opinion by Attor. ney General Palmer that Judge Landis was within the law, and that there was no law making such accnptance a crime, either disdemeanor or felony. The opinion was renlered recently by the attorney general on the written request of Mr. Welty, who had ques tioned the judge's rig'ht to hold 1)oth pogitions. elfore proceeding to the floor of the House where his charges were read, Mr. Welty refused a request by Senator Dial, Democrat, of South Car olina, to include in the general Indliet ient statemncnts attributed to Judge 4andis in refusing to send to jail a young Ott2wa, Illinois, hank clhrk be cause of the belief that offielals of the bank were responsible for the clerk's speculation by failure to pay him a living wage. DiI to Mhe Clarge Senator Dial on r(ceiVing the Ohio representaliVe's refusal announced lie would file complaint against Jidge Landis with the department of justice and later in the day attacked the Chi cago jurist on the floor of the Senate, describing him as. a "freak" and a "crank." T:e South Carolina senator characterized Jidgi Landis' statement that the Ottawa bank clerk's enloy era were in a imeasu re respo-nsible for the youth's theft of $96,000 as "the most bolshevik doctrine I ever heard," and an"Yd that if the action taken by the judge in paroling the ' clerk amounted to cncoilragement of such acts as those of the clerk "It is strik ing at the foundations of our govern.. mIeit." There was no comment in the House when Mr. Welty concluded the reading of a formal indictment of Judge Landis. On his own motion, as is customary in suen pIroceedliig8, the; indictment vas referred to the j!dic ary conimittee, without debate. TLess than a third of the meilbers ipresent voted, and a number of scatterir' voices were lifted in Opposition. No .body -asked for a rising v'ote. llepre sentative Shemhwad, D~emoe rat, of Ohio, sitting on the front row, clap ,Ped his hands, but otherwIse there was no indlication as to bow the ilouse. feit. TIhe next step wil be by3 Mir. WVelty, -who will appear' ipossibly this weelk, before the Judiciary commnittee, with such witnesses as he sees fit to call, to ampliify his charges. The commit teo will then decide whether to go ahead ewith the case. It -has the pow or to dlismniss the charges, and so ire .Port to the House, and adoption of such a repiort would exonerate Judge Lanidis of the clharges preferred by t\Ir. WVelty. Aniswers Landis' Attaick Senatqr Dial answeredl the attack *made by Judge 'J,/indhis on him in a sopeech at iDes Moines last Saturday nig-ht, "Hie shows by his r'eply," the sona toi' tddoed, "'that lie is not constituted. by temnperamecnt to exercise tho du ties of judge." Declaring ho wvould not be "Aide tracked" b~y Jud~ge Landis' assertions whic'h he saild wci'e in~ error inisofar as the cotton mill with which ho wvas connected 'was aeccusedl of trying to upset .the child- labor iawv. A mill in another state, Senator Dial - nid, brought the invalidation suit,. .Renator Dial said that Jud go Landis was "itrying to bring dotyn iicule by attacking, im ipersona-lly, Sutch ani attaec.
