WELTY STARTS IMPEACHMENT
 JUDGE LANDS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 (by Asso- ciated Press).-Representative B. F.. Welty of Ohio, Democrat, yesterday filed impeachment charges in the house against Judge Kenesaw M, Landis, of the federal bench of the northern district of Illinois, charging high crimes and misdemeanors in connection with the judges accept ance of the position of arbitrator for organized baseball. The congress- man refused the request of Senator Dial of South Carolina to include his charge in connection with an all legged statement by the judge that directors of bank were responsible for an embezzlement admitted by one of it's clerks because they had refused the clerk a sufficient salary.
 The impeachment charges were re- terred to the judiciary committee, and should the house decide to insti- tue proceedings a formal trial will be held before the house.
 Representative Welty demanded impeachment on five charges. The first alleges neglect of official duties for another gainful occupation; sec ond, for using his office as district judge to settle disputes which might come into his court; third, lobbying before legislators for the passage of laws to prevent gambling on base ball results, instead of discharging his duties as judge; fourth, accepting the position of chief arbitrator of organized baseball while attempting to discharge judicial duties, nullify- ing in effect the judgment of the su- preme court of the District of Colam- bia in baseball gambling indictments pending; fifth, injury to the national sport of baseball
 There is little likelihood of any action on Congressman Welty's charges before the present congress will expire.
 Senator Dial later announced that he would prefer charges against Judge Landis with the department of justice in connection with the al legged bank case statements, the sen ator declaring the statements were "anarchistic and revolutionary"

Although the message is far from fin ished, considerable work has been done on it. The message will prob. ably be brief.
 It is expected that President Hard ing will touch briefly on the ques- tion of an International Peace Asso- citation and pledge the incoming ad- ministration to use it's best efforts to secure an agreement compatible with American interests.
 A portion of the message is also expected to voice friendship with Mexico and Latin America
 It is believed that statement of the taxation policy of the administra. -tion will be reserved until the spe- cial session of congress is called.

Comptroller Of Currency, John

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Prof-

by John Shelton Williams, comp
troller Of currency, in his annual re-
port.
by closing down mills and mines
the output of steel and iron, following
the armistice. was reduced approx
mately one-fourth for the purpose of
enabling manufacturers and operators
to obtain, because Of the insistent and
peremptory demand for coal and iron,
the exorbitant profits realized during
the war instead Of the more moderate
profits they would have to accept
If the maximum output had been
maintained" said Mr.. Williams.
"While the profits of steel manu-
facturers and coal operators were swol-
len, the country became poorer from
lack Of production, brought about by
the unnecessary closing down Of mills
and mines and the Incidental idleness
Of labor. AS steel and iron are so
largely at the very foundation of in
dustrial activity and business develop
ment, it is essential that the prices Of
these fundamental products should
come down to a fair, just and normal
basis If we are again to attain the
prosperity for which we hope"
The official repeats his charge.
made last summer, that small group
of New York bankers set interest
rates for call money, raising and low
ering them at their pleasure. In
answering to the claim that banks
should charge a high rate because Of
the risk involved, Mr.. Williams said:
IF the security TO-: these loans was
so precarious as to Justify such rates
Of interest, no bank had the right to
risk it on the money Of depositors.
II the security was good, the rates
were cruelty extortionate exactions
from the necessities Of borrowers, de-
moralizing in business, destructive Of
values, hindrances to prosperity and
dangerous to public place and well
fare"
