WILSON FIRES
LANSING FROM
PREMIER POST
Angry at Cabinet Meetings When
He Was iii.
PRESIDENT is EXCITED
Finds That During Sickness Sec
retary of State Was Trying to
Help Conduct Business
Without His Orders.
tAssoeisted Press)


Washington. Feb l4.-Roberi
lansing ended his career as secre-
tary Of state yesterday after Presi'
dent Wilson had accused him OF
usurplng the powers Of President by
calling meetings Of the cabinet dur
ing 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 Repub-
|Hc,v that they were proper and
necessary" because Of the Presi-
dents condition and that he would
have been derelict in his duty If he
had failed TO act as he did
Persons on the inside say the real
reasons 20 back many months and
are due TO fundamental differences
OF opinion on policies. These differ
ences developed chiefly during the
peace conferences when Lansing fa-
vored the separation Of the league of
nations from the peace treaty.
Another incident toward the break
was the testimony Of William Built
before the senate committee quoting
Lansing as saying in Paris that
Americans would not ratify the
treaty If they knew its full import.
The first cabinet meeting after
the presidents illness is described
as intensely dramatic 1t was not
then known that the president had
partially lost the use of his left arm
and leg because Of blood clot in the
brain. The presidents physician
was sent with a message from the
president and replied to Lansing's
inquiry as to the state Of the presi-
dents health saying the president
was doing as well as expected and
had directed an inquiry as to on what
authority the cabinet meeting was
called and what business might be
transacted without the presidents
participation.
1t is believed possible that The
president was not Informed until re-
Gently of subsequent cabinet con
ferences. Wilson and Lansing also
differed on the Mexican policy and
friction between Lansing and Tu-
multy and Secretaries Daniels and
Baker are also rumored.
No information is available at the
White House as to the probable sue
cessor Of Lansing but an appoint
ment is expected soon. Ambassador
Davis at London ana under Secretary
Polk are being discussed.
Commenting on the Lansing resig-
nation Chairman Porter, Of the house
foreign affairs committee said there
is nothing in constitution which pro-
hibits members Of the cabinet from
meeting and discussing army de-
partment Matters"
