DEFENDS WILEY
Judge Of the United States Court Of
Shanghai, China, Strongly Com
msndsd by President.
CHARGES WERE NOT PROVEN
Conditions Were Discraeeful When He
Took charps--Has Stamped Out
Vice and crIme-Why
He Was Sent

Washington, Mar. 3.--President
Roosevelt's defense Of Lebbeus r. VIII
fey, based on an analytical review by
Secretary Root, OF the charges against
him, was made public Monday. The
charges were preferred by Lorrin An
drews and have been repeated, by him
before the house committee on the
judiciary as the basis Of impeachment
proceedings. They relate to Judge
Wilfey's administration of the United
States court for China at Shanghai.
After disposing of each Of the seven
charges by showing that neither of
them is the proper basis Of criticism
against Judge Whitley, Secretary Root
reviews conditions in the foreign quar-
ter of Shanghai, showing that because
of the heretofore lax American admin
istration Of justice there affairs had
grown disgracefuI. Judge Wiley was
sent there for the express purpose of
reversing these conditions. Secretary
Root concludes:
1.-THE circumstances thus present ex-
hibit a motive for the attempt to
drive Judge Wiley from his position.
They present strong probability OF
misjudgment, legislation and distor-
ton Of facts on the part of the law
yers who have personally suffered
from the changed conditions. They
make 1t clear that upon no trifing
grounds should our government incur
the public misfortune which would
be involved in putting the stamp of
disapproval on the work for decency
and righteousness that the United
States court for China has done.
my opinion is that Judge Wiley
Is entitled, not to condemnation but
to commentator and high credit for
his conduct in office and that the
charges against him should be dis
missed"
President Roosevelt's vindication is
contained in letter to Secretary Root.
He first comments that 1t appears that
Congressman Wade of New York,
stands snonsor for the charges. II
