UPRIGHT JUDGE.
Roosevelt and Root Give Their
Unqualified Approval
To the Course of Whitley in Ad-
ministering Justice.
DESERVING OF PRAISE
DESERVING OF PRAISE
Rather Than Censure Declares
the President.
Selfish Interests Behind the
Attack on Him.

Washington March 2.-President
Roosevelt's defense of Lebbeus R. Will
fey, based on an analytical review by
Secretary Root of the charges against
him, was made public today. The
charges were preferred by Lorin An
drews and have been repeated by him
before the house committee on judi
ciary as the basis of impeachment pro-
| ceedings. They relate TO Judge Will
hey's administration of the United
States court for China at Shanghai.
After disposing Of each Of the seven
them is the proper basis of criticism
against Judge Whitley. Secretary Root
reviews conditions in the foreign
quarter of Shanghai, showing that be-
, cause of the heretofore TAX American
administration Of justice there affairs
had grown disgracefuI Judge Wiley
was sent there for the express purpose
of reversing these conditions. Secre-
tary Root concludes:
1.-THE circumstances thus presented
exhibit a motive for the attempt to
drive Judge Whitley from his position.
They present strong probability of
misjudgm ent and distortion of facts by
the present lawyers who have person
ally suffered from the changed condi-
tions. They make it clear that upon
no trif1ing grounds should our govern
ment incur the public misfortune
which would be involved in putting
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 dismissed"
President Roosevelt's vindication is
contained in a letter to Secretary
Root:
He first comments that n anneare
that Congressman Waldo IN. "
stands sponsor for the charges. "I
cordially concur in your findings" he
continues. (which are to the effect
that Judge Wiley Is not only inno-
cent, but Is attacked solely because of
the fearlessness and integrity with
which he has stamped out vice and
crime in Shanghai.
"It is clear that Judge Wiley has
been attacked not because he has done
evil, but because he has done good
The assault on him is simply an i'm
| peachment of decency and zeal for tn e
public good and If successful would
| tend to COW and discourage every hon.
! est public servant who dares to with
stand the forces banded together for
evil and would do grave damage to the
/ honor and interest of our country in
| the Orient.
| "If the attack were to succeed, the
beneficiaries would be every keeper OF
a house Of prostitution, every swind-
| ling lawyer, every man who lives by
blackmail and corruption in the Cities
| Of the far east. These are the people
whose hopes have been revived by the
effort to overthrow this upright and
| fearless judge who has already done
in China. 1t is not too much to say
| that this assault upon Judge Wiley IN
| the interest Of the vicious and crimina,
classes Is public scandal

Her own comment on her success is
characteristic. There was Tuck. lot
of hard work, and perhaps some tall
ent,'' said Mrs. Campbell in the only
biography she has even been known to
give to an interviewer.
Mrs. Campbell, by the way, holds
interviewers in horror, and one time
went SO far as to tax them SIS for a
call, in the interest of quiet and char
ity. Mrs. Campbell is, however. far
from being an eccentric person, which
certain writers would have us believe.
She is a woman who fascinates both
before and behind the footlights. and
even the venerable William Winter,
who hates problem play above every
thing else, has paid her tribute.
Messrs. Liebler & Co., who have a
way of doing big things in big way,
have brought Mrs. Campbell and her
company to this country, making them
Independent of hotels by providing
most perfect private cars for the whole
tour.

There can be no question that all So
ciety will be there.
