WILFLEY'S CASE
IN THE CABINET
CATHOLICS SATISFIED WITH THE
JUDGES EXPLANATION AND
OTHER CHARGES FAIL.

WASHINGTON, February 2S.-The
cabinet meeting today considered the
case of Judge L. r. Whitley, the Unit
ed States judge at Hongkong, China,
who is under charges filed in the State
Department, and whose threatened i'm
parchment is before a committee Of
the House. The matter came up
through the presentation of the de-
Tense of Judge Whitley, who is in
Washington, and especially by reason
of a statement he filed with the Presi-
dent explaining a decision made by
him that proved hffensive to the Cath
Ollie church and It's dignitaries. So far
as practically all the charges are con-
cerned Judge Whitley stands eXonerat-
ed in the eyes of the administration.
He is highly regarded by Secretary
Root, Assistant Secretary Bacon and
all the officials of the State Depart
ment, They feel that he accomplished
immense good in Hongkong in Kidding
that city of a number of undesirable
Americans, whose crimiality and cor
ruption had brought disgrace upon tne
name American. He was picked out
because his square jaw and determined
face indicated that he would do what
was wanted by the administration.
Except for the decision which is OBJ
jected to by the Catholic church the
administration has exonerated Judge
Whitley and Will stand by him. His
cabinet today dwelt at length upon
the decision. 1t pointed out that in
passing upon a probate case before
him it was NECESSARY to review the
common law and its history for many
years back This review necessitated
quotation from Blackstone, who said
some harsh things Of the Catholic
church and its head Judge Wiley
explained that his whole jurisdiction
in Hongkong is founded upon the
common law, as there is no statute
law applying to his court. Consequent
ly, in determining whether he should
take jurisdiction of a probate case, hi
entered into the common law at grea
length.
He assures the President and Score
tary Root that he had no intention o
offending the Catholic church or per
sonally attacking it, realizing that tn
court has no ground for religious at
tacks.
1t is pretty well understood that tn
statement, or apology, will be salts
factory both to the church and to tn
administration. Representatives Dris
call and Bourke Cochran, both of New
York, have been in conference with tn
President and Secretary Root and hav
been disposed, it is said, to accept al
explanation from Judge Wiley alonI
the lines indicated.
