SECRETARY STATE
LANSING RESIGNS
LANsINe's RETIREMENT WAS vlR-
TUALLY REQUESTED BY
THE PRESIDENT.
CHARGE HE usURPED POWER
His Calling of Cabinet Meetings Re.
scented BY Wilson, Who Felt That
Secretary Tried to Forestall
His Judgment.

Washington. Lansing ended
bis career as secretary of state after
President Wilson had accused him OF
usurping the powers of president by
calling meetings of the cabinet during
Mr. Wilson's illness.
Mr.. Lansing denied he had sought
or intended to usurp the presidential
authority. He added. however, that
he believed then and still believed
that the cabinet conferences were "for
the best interests of the republic;"
that they were proper and necessary"
because of the presidents condition
and that he would have been derelict
in his duty if he had failed to act as
he did.
As the record stands, Mr.. Lansing
rendered his resignation and Mr.. VIII
son accepted it. he resignation was
offered, however. only after the presi-
dent, under date of Feb. 7, had writ
ten asking IL It were true that Mr..
Lansing had called cabinet meetings
and stating that IL such were the case,
he felt 1t necessary to say that under
our constitutional law and practice,
as developed hitherto. no one but the
president has the right to summon
the heads of the executive depart
ments into conference"
Mr.. Lansing answered two days la
ter saying he had called the cabinet
conferences because he and others of
the presidents official family felt
that, in view of the fact that we were
denied communication with you, 1t was
wise for us to confer informally to-
gether on matters as to which
action could not be postponed until
your medical advisers permitted you
to pass upon them"
The secretary concluded by saying
that IL the president believed he had
failed In his loyalty" to him, and IL
Mr.. Wilson no longer had confidence
in him, he was ready to relieve you
OF any embarrassment by placing my
resignation in your hands"
The president replied that he was
"much disappointed by Mr. Lansing's
letter regarding @the so-called cabinet
meetings" He said he found nothing
In the secretary's letter (which justi-
fies your assumption of presidential
authority In such matter" and added
that he must frankly take advantage
Of your kind suggestion" to resign.

LUMBER MEN FACE
VERY GRAVE CHARGE
CONSPIRACY CHARGED TO PRAc-
TlcALLY ALL HARDWOOD
CONCERNS IN SOUTH.
SAY PRODUCTION RETARDED
Concerns From Illinois to Louisiana
and From Missouri to Atlantic
Coast Line Affected BY Ac-
tIon of U. s. Attorney.

Memphis, Neutrality-suspicious. con-
Quoted for some time by the United
States Department of Justice, here
and elsewhere against alleged prof.
teering, brought forth the first tan
gible charge in this section when q
bill seeking an injunction was filed in
the United States court by District At
torney w. d. Kyser, against 1893 firms,
corporations and individuals engaged
in the hardwood lumber industry.
While the word "profiteering" does
not appear in the bill, the charge
plainly carries this meaning, as II
states that the defendants have en-
tered into a combination and con.
spiracy in restraint Of trade and com
merce in hardwood lumber among the
several states" and further claims that
by holding down production the de-
PENDANTS have sought to maintain the
prices of hardwood lumber at and en-
nance them beyond their present alb
normally high levels"
The bill is specifically directed
against the "open Competition Plan"
Of the American Hardwood Manufac.
turers' Association, and practically
every firm or individual lumber dealer
named in the bill is a member OF this
association. However, the organiza
ton as whole is not made defendant
to the charges.
r. M. Carter, of Sardis, Miss, Is
president of the association, and
James e. Stark, of Memphis, is chair
man of the executive committee. ]. M
Pritchard is secretary-manager and q
number of the directors are residents
Of this city.
Practically every firm engaged In
the hardwood lumber business through
out the entire south Is involved in the
bill, from Illinois to Louisiana, and
from Missouri to the Atlantic coast
line.
All OF the large hardwood lumber
dealers of Memphis and the surround
ing district are included in the list OF
defendants, and F. r. Gadd. district
manager of the association, with head
quarters in Memphis, is FAMED In the
bill, and is described as the 'so-called
Manager OF Statistics.
Through Mr.. Gadd the executive
board of the association vigorously de
MED all the charges contained in the
bill, and stated that the members wei
come the fullest investigation from
the government.

Altogether, Secretary Houston de-
clined to agree with the pessimistic
view of some public men who fore
cast financial crash. and asserted
that while there were many difficulties
still to be overcome, there was nothing
in the situation to be regarded as en-
tremely grave.
