Ohio Representative Makes
Charges Against Baseball
Arbiter of "High Crime"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Accept-
snce by Federal Judge Lands OF
Chicago of S42.500 as supreme arbi-
ter on baseball while serving on the
bench might go unchallenged If
the motive back of 1t were not so
apparent Representative Welty,
Democrat. Ohio. declared today be-
fore the House judiciary committee
in demanding impeachment of the
judge for high crimes and misde-
meanor."
Calling attention to the action of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia in assessing damages of
$4,000 against the big league base
ball association in suits brought un-
der antitrust laws and indictment
of players in Chicago for throwing
games, Mr.. Welty said:
while these matters were pend
ing in the court this illegal trust
and why should they suggest a fed
eral Judge? Was it because they
wanted to tell the people we are
not an unlawful trust because Judge
Lands is at our head? Was It be-
cause the baseball maenates wanted
TO create favorable sentiment With
the hope that the supreme court oi
the District of Columbia would be
reversed"
In this connection Mr.. Welty read
letter quoting baseball magnate
as saying that Judge Lands as a
lawyer meant nothing to organized
baseball but that Judge Landis as
a federal judge was worth any price
he might wish to ask.
IF there was the intent" Mr..
Welty declared, docs the act not
bring Il within the law of bribery.
If the magnates who were fined are
permitted to employ Judge Landis,
what would prevent the indicted
players employing him ?"
A somewhat stormy scene oc-
Cured when Mr.. Welty read his
charges as outlined before the House
last week. He was subjected to a
cross-fire of questions and several
members of the judiciary committee
insisted on facts on which an in
dictment could be drawn.
Give us facts and don't make
SO many speeches." admonished
Chairman Volstead after Mr.. Welty
had stated that when you are try
ing to catch rabbit you have to
follow his tracks," adding that he
was trying ito unburden himself
II am going to show that these
baseball players are guilty of brib-
ing Judge Landis." Mr.. Welty de-
clared.
This-statement was made in con-
nection with indictments with
throwing games. but the questioning
quickly changed to other subjects.

BURN SEATS TO KEEP
WARM IN STRANDED TRAIN

Among the thrilling experiences
of the storm there is perhaps none
which equals that of passengers on
train from New Brunswick, which
was held up by snowdrift. the lights
and heat in the cars failing and then
being rammed from the rear by an
ether locomotive.
This incident occurred on the Jer-
sey meadows. when train from
New Brunswick after struggling
for several miles through the deep
drifts. came to standstill in the
middle of the meadows. The lights
in the cars fiickered and died and
the heating apparatus failed.
Among the passengers were many
women who became hysterical. In
order to keep from freezing the
calmer of the passengers tore adver-
tising cards and cane seats from the
coaches and used newspapers for
fires.
While the train was in darkness,
it was rammed from the rear by
locomotive and although none of the
passengers were injured several of
the women tainted.

Cork. who came here six months ago
as q stowaway to testify before the

to Ireland. The lord mayor was given
classification in this country as . sea-
man and allowed until midnight next

had every reason to believe that be-
fore the time limit allowed O'Cal-
laghan to leave he will have shipped
aboard another ship"
"As q matter OF fact" said Mr.. Hen
ming. I'VE believe that he is already
safely back in Ireland. although we
have no ofncial information to that
effect. His attorneys assured US that
he would leave the country according
to the ruling Of the Secretary. The
last that I have heard of him was
through newspaper reports that he
was in Chicago April 81
Pointing out that friends Of the lord
mayor claimed that there was q prob
ability that British authorities might
undertake to arrest him on his return
