Washington, Feb. 1.-THE first
hearing on the impeachment pro-
Lands, Chicago. by Representative
Welty, Ohio, will be held by the judi
CARY committee next Tuesday, Chair
man Nolstead said today.
Two moves. have been made in con-
gress to impeach Federal Judge Kene-
saw Mountain Lands, who is also SUI
preme arbiter of baseball. Senator
Dial originated the first movement.
He seeks the impeachment of the
judge because of his act in releasing
on his own recogniZance youthful
bank employe who embezZled $96, 900
and his denunciation of the bank Off
GERS for paying the boy only $50 a
month.
High Crimes Charged.
Representative B. F. Welty. of Ohio,
would GUST Lands for "high crimes
and misdemeanors," charging him
with neglecting his official duties for
other gafnful occupations. The charge
all grew out of Lands acceptance of
the baseball job at $42,5O0 a year.
He draws $500 as judge. lands.
answering the attack, defies Dial to
permit a probe of working and wage
condition in DiaPs banks and cotton
mills.
mo doubt says the judge, Senator
Dial has hundreds of little girls as
young as IL years working for him.
What is he paying the fellows in his
banks and. those children in his cotton
mills? He couldn't stand an investiga-
ton of wage conditions in the insti-
tutions he owns. He is an owner of
an industry in South Carolina. And
it was this particular industry in South
Carolina which caused the repeal of
the federal child labor law
DRIVE Him from Bench
Dial has said that he would exert
his influence to have him impeached
and driven from the bench as a man
unworthy of the ermine.''

BRITISH WILL DELAY REPLY
Answer Mesopotamia "Open Door
Declaration Until Harding i'm Chair.

London, Feb. '47.-Great Britain s
reply to Americas note, which de-
manded in effect an open door,
policy in the Mesopotamian oil fields,
probably will be held up until after
the Harding inauguration, it was
learned from an authoritative source
today
The draft is completed. In fact. it
is said to have been ready to dis
patch to Washington for at least sixty
days. An official closely concerned
with preparation of the British note,
insisted that Sir Auckland Geddes, am
bassador to the United States, did not
have the communication with him
when he left on the Aquantania Tues
day.
Government officials would offer no
explanation for Withholding the note.
At the same time they preserved the
strictest silence regarding its contents.
1t is expected, however, to follow the
broad lines regarding the world oil
situation which have been described
recently in public speeches and state
ments by officials of the government
and leading British petroleum cor
por3tions.
These have disclaimed the alleged
richness of the Mesopotamian fields
and denied that Great Britain has any
intention of trying to dominate the
world oil supply.

Kramer has received reports that
in many cities women by hundreds

Hammond Would Use Siberia

pie Must Go Somewhere.

Washington, Feb. IA scheme
for diverting Japanese immigration
from the Pacific coast to northwest
ern Siberia and Russia, thus ending
States, was suggested today to the
house foreign affairs committee by
John Hays Hammond.
Hammond has been mentioned for
secretary of commerce in the Harding
cabinet. He is a world famous engi-
neer and an authority on Russian af-
fairs.
Japan must have an outlet for her
population" Hammond declared. II
do not want them in California. The
problem can be solved if Russia will
give Japan a large territory for col
onization and development, in return
for a large sum which Russia would
use to build a new railroad into China.
All the nations concerned would great
ly profit, the Far East would be de-
veloped and the United States would
be relieved of a perpleXing question
Hammond explained his scheme is
conditioned upon the fall of Bolshe-
vism and establishment of a stable
Russian government. He predicted
that the Bolshevist government with
in a few years would be succeeded by
"a constitutional monarchy, which
finally will evolve into a democracy.
There is already great disaffection
in Russia he said. Ninety per cent
of the people are against the Bolshe-
visit government. 1t is only main
tanned by military control"
Hammond urged that United States
trade development efforts be devoted
to Mexico and South America instead
of Russia.
Russian trade is not worth the ef-
fort now" he said. Our greatest op-
portunities are on this side of the
world in Latin America. After Rus
STA is restored we can get busy there"

guage difficulties, she was married 20
Benjamin Van Cleave, an American

yard of the village church at her home
In Montargin, in the beautiful valley
of Chrome in France, where she had
been known as Aimee Guiguillemont.
A cablegram was sent to the girls
brother by the local Red Cross chap
ter. saying that the body would be
sent home for burial.
A victim of influenza in serious
form. the French girl succumbed to
Tuberculosis. Her husband has been en-
ployed in various places. and recently
was a cobbler at Camp Funston. The
French girl was given expert sana-
torium care on the Recommendation of
