MAY IMPEACH
WICKERSHAM
House Committee is InveSti-
eating the Department
Of Justice
CALLING FOR PAPERS
In THE WILEY CASE
I'M The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-With half
score of serious charges in hand
and joy in their hearts, the Democrats
of the House today took up their at
tack on Attorney-General Wicker
sham with impeachment proceedings
as the possible outcome. Three house
committees settled down to probe the
Department of Justice, with the new
charges filed with the Judiciary Com
mittee as the centre of attraction.
The judiciary Committee decided to
report to the House a resolution call
! ing for all documents in the case Of
Capatin ID. H. Jarvin, agent in Alaska
for the Guggenheims. During hear
ings on the resolution the Delegate
OF Alaska asserted that over a year
ago he furnished the Attorney-Gen-
eral with information warranting an
Indictment against Jarvis. He charg-
ed that the Administrations legal Off
Ger deliberately allowed the statute OF
/ limitations to run against the office.
Jarvis committed suicide the day
after the resolution calling for the
/ papers was introduced.
Says Government Was Defrauded.
Delegate Wickersham produced an
affidavit showing that through the
connivance Of Jarvis and John H. Bull
lock for the John ]. Sesnor Coal Com
pany, the Government was detrauded
out of $4,000 on coal contracts. The
two men formed an agreement be-
tween the competing coal companies,
the delegate charges; increased the
price on coal and, having a monopoly
forced the Government to buy. Under
All agreement the companies then di-
vided the profits.
House Democrats significantly
pointed out today that the Judiciary
Committee is the body which must
Originate all impeachment proceed
ings against Government officials.
Probing Expenditures.
Chairman Morris, Of the House
Committee on Expenditures in the De.
partment Of Agriculture today began
his preliminary examination Of thi
papers in the case of Wickershan
against DR.. Wiley. The pure food ex
pert is hard at work aiding the CON
mittee. which Is distinctly Favorable
TO Elm.
In the meantime the House Com
mittee on Expenditures in the D"
paTtment of Justice is developing evi
dence. Chairman Beall (Dem. Texas
has already discovered that the At
torney General paid his high pricel
special attorneys, in practically tn
same manner as that for which h.
ccndemned Dr. Wiley in employing
DR. Il. H. Rusby. On this point, Beal
will work with the Committee on Ex
penditures in the Department of Agri
culture.

LITTLE WILLIE WILL
Be OVERLOOKED BY
DR.. W|LEYSLATEST
Ruling Against Artifcially
Ripened Oranges Will Save
Use of Paregoric.

Paregoric will not have to be adminis-
tered to little Willie so often in the
future. DR.. H. w. Wiley and the other
members of the board of food and drug
inspection have prescribed a substi-
tute. The recipe is given to the fruit
raisers first, and here it is in sub
stance:
Don't pick the oranges when they are
green" a.
In discussing one of the causes Of
little Willies trouble with professional
dignity, the doctors decision says:
Further, there is evidence to show
that the consumption of such immature
oranges, especially by children. Is apt
TO be attended by serious disturbances
Of the digestive system"
The decision against the picking of
green oranges and ripenins them by
Sweating" is causing considerable wor-
ry among the big raisers and shippers Of
the country. Representatives of two
of the biggest shipping Companies in the
nation were here this week for con-
ference with the pure food experts.
The experts hold that oranges, unlike
most other fruits, do not ripen when
picked green and kept in warm tenn
perature Though the skin changes
from a green to a. yellow color, there is
no more sugar found in the artificially
ripened orange than there was when 1t
was green. When left on the tree the
same oranges increased markedly in
sugar content and decrease in acid con-
tent"
