MAY HEAR WELTY
WITHIN FEW DAYS
Case of Judge K. NJ. Lands to
Come Up Soon.
HOUSE TO GET TESTIMONY
Judiciary Committee to Ask Witnesses
to Appear-Many Members Believe
That the Jurist Has Acted
Within the Law.

Washington, Feb. Impeach-
ment proceedings instituted in the
house by Representative WeIty
Dem.), Ohio, against Federal Judge
Lands of Chicago, remain in status
quo pending the fixing of a date by
the judiciary committee for a hearing
on the charges preferred against the
jurist by the Ohio representative.
Chairman Volstead announced that
Representative Welty and such other
witnesses as he may desire to call
would be asked to appear before the
committee probably within a week
Hits at Baseball Job.
Reading his charges against Judge
Lands on the floor of the house, Rep
resentative Welty moved his impeach-
ment because of his acceptance Of the
office of supreme arbitrator of base
ball while still serving on the bench.
Chief among the FIVE specific
charges presented was the allegation
that Judge Landis' acceptance of the
duties of baseball arbitrator meant
neglect of his official duties for San
other gainful occupation not connect
ed Herewith"
Representative Welty further de-
clared that if Judge Landis, whose
record on the bench he commended,
wanted to retain the respect and cons
fidence as judge. 'he must divorce
himself from the flesh-pots of illegal
combinations.
See Case Thrown Out.
Without comment by members or
a rising vote, Representative Welty's
indictment was referred to the ju-
dietary committee which is vested
with full authority either to dismiss
the charges or go ahead with the
case.
In the latter case, if the house
should indict on the evidence sub
mitted by the committee, its findings
would be transmitted to the senate as
the trial court. Many members ex-
pressed the belief, however, that the
case would be thrown out by the COM
mittee, in view of the attorney gen.
erals opinion that Judge Lands was
within the law in accepting the out
side duties in question.

GREAT REVOLT ON
IN BRITISH INDIA
Starts In the Indian State of
Tonk, Is Report.
TROOPS FIGHT WITH RIOTERS
Dispatch From Allahabada Says Peo-
pie Are Fleeing Toward British
Territory-New Vicercy Faces
Trouble at Every Point.

London, Feb. 16.-Ihe new storm
center within the British empire is In
dia, where 1t is admitted the govern
ment is face to face with graver stu
alton than that which preceded the
Indian mutiny more than sixty years
ago. Allahabada dispatches say rev.
olution has broken out in the Indian
state of Tonk. Troops battle the riot
ers as the people Zee.
Whitehall officials say that Ireland
with it's unceasing conflict will soon
be eclipsed in the public mind by UNI
precedented turmoil in India.
The demand for self-government
has at last taken an aggressive form
and at the India office in London 1t
is admitted that if Earl Reading, the
new viceroy, is to avert an appalling
catastrophe he will need to show the
highest qualities of craftsmanship.
Like Smoldering Volcano.
The country has the appearance Of
quiet, when viewed from a distance,
but actually its quiescence is that of
a smoldering volcano.
National consciousness has been
awakened by Ghandi and other lead
ers of the self-government party who
have been operating in nearly every
corner Of the dominion. There has
been much sporadic rioting and blood
shed already. Authorities fear the I'M
rest will lead to a great national up
heaval.
Anglo-Indian business men share in
the alarm. One who has just returned
TO London from India says:
THE real danger at present is not
from the mob When India really
starts violence it will be on the prin-
ciple of guerrilla warfare and IL the
movement for anarchy spreads, indi-
vidual Englishmen and representatives
of the government will be helpless.
Move for Direct Action.
"A great national labor movement
has recently been organized and Of
fers the powerful weapon of direct ac-
ton. The federation, which will soon
number millions is under the leader.
ship of extremist politicians. When
such bodies as railway workers are
completely unionized they viii not hest
tate to use their power for political
ends.
There is a powerful section in In
iia that deplores the countrys polit-
teal condition and has no faith in the
intentions of the Indian government.
The Dyer massacre in the Punjab and
the lenieney with which those respon-
sible were treated are still being held
up to the people as an example of
British cruelty and oppression"

United States Stand
On Peace Made Clear

Continued from Pase OneO
pushed to vote at the earliest posi-.

Official announcement of this pla;1
may be expected within few days
The resolution will be amended in
one important particular. There will
be new section added to serve no
tice upon the world that the United
States stands ready to fight when
ever, in the Judgment of this govern
ment, the civilization of the world,
is imperilled.
Text OF New Section.
The new section will read as fol-
lows:
That finally, it shall be the de-
clared policy of our government, in
order to meet fully and fairly our
obligations to ourselves and to the
world, that the freedom and peace OF
Europe being again threatened by
any power or combination of pow
ers, the United States will regard
such situation with grave concern as
a menace to Its. own to peace and
freedom, will consult with other pow
ers affected, with view to devising
means for the removal of such men.
ace, and will, the necessity arising in
the future, carry out the same COM
plete accord and cooperation with
our chief co-belligerents for the de-
fense of civilization"
1t has been proposed that the reso-
luton be further amended to express
the attitude of the administration
with regard to German reparations.
Such a suggestion was put forward
by the French government, it be-
came known today. 1t was learned,
however, that M. Viviani has been
satisfied by Senator Knox that such
a declaration would add nothing to
the frmness of the administrations
policy and that, if such action be-
comes necessity, it might be taken
in a separate resolution.
Viviani Pleased.
M. Viviani, in conversation with
senator's who have conferred with
him during the past few days, has
expressed satisfaction with the
American peace program. He is
convinced, it was stated, beyond
a shadow of doubt that the United
States is determined to remain aloof
from the entanglements of the Ver-
sailles pact, but he is pleased to
note the almost universal feeling
in Washington that Germany must
not be permitted to escaped just
punishment for precipitating the
war. The prejudice he entertained
against the Knox resolution when
he came to the United States has
given way to a belief. it is stated,
that the passage of such measure
in the amended form suggested,
could not fail to improve the posi-
ton of the allies.
M. Viviani had a further oppor-
tunity of acquainting himself with
the peace program at dinner given
by Senator Mccormick of Illinois
tonight, at which the French envoy
met members of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations.
