HEARING OF lands
CASE OPENS IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Investiga-
tion of the impeachment charges brought
against Judge K. VI. Lands, of Chicago,
By Representative Welty Of Ohio, started
before the House judiciary Committee
today.
Welty told the committee that lands
should be removed from office because
he holds the office of Federal Judge and
arbitrator Of organized baseball. He
charged that bribery was the motive Of
baseball magnates in employing the Judge
and that his holding both offices tends to
nullify prosecution of Chicago players
for throwing world series games and
the S24OOOv Judgment obtained by the
defunct Federal League against the
American and National Leagues in anti
trust proceedings. The only witness to
be heard today was Welty.

DENNY BUSH is
AT PENAL FARM.
NOT BY CHOICE
Regrets He Is Unable to Play
Accustomed Part in City
Primaries.
OLD FRIENDS VISIT HIM
Bv STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

PUTNAMVILLE, Ind, Feb. 21.-
The rumor that Dennis J. Bush, for
mer street commissioner of Indian
apolis, is not at the penal farm to
which he was sent recently, but is
sojourning in Terre Haute, may be
set down safely as a mere rumor
not based on facts.
Dennis still is playing the horses -
but the horses are not the blooded
kind that romp around the race
track. They are the stolid type that
pull wagons loaded with bricks and
other products of the convict oper-
ated industries at the State farm.
Dennis is a handy man about the farm
stables. and If there is any credenCe to be
placed in the penal farm authorities and
a lot OF the other prisoners, Denny has
not been roInping around Terre Haute
recently.
Bush, II viii be remembered, was sent
to the penal farm for participation In a
bit of election sIugging that took place
while Samuel RaIston was governor OF
indiana. For about six years Denny de-
layed his Incarceration and achieved for
himself the distinction of being above
the law" Finally, after he had received
favor after favor from Official after Of
fetal. he landed at the farm. from which
now he is looking out with longing eyes
and expecting a parole shortly after
the end of this month. Rumor has it
that Denny has good reason to believe
certain officials in the capital will
spring" him along about that time.
BELIEVES HE
CAN GET BY"
Penal farm Incarceration has not
shaken Bush's idea that he can get by"
1t has not altered his view OF the law
as q thing to be circumvented He has
faith still in the ability OF certain poll
teams Ito take care" of him and still
feels that 1t Will be best for these same
politicians to take care" Of him before
he gets too tired Of the farm.
T he report. carefully circulated before
Denny eventually went to the farm, to

Ten Deaths Reported in New
England in Storm.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Buried under a
twelve-inch blanket OF snow. New York
struggled to carry on business as usual
today, although traffic was partly blocked
and much suffering was caused by the
storm.
No less than ten deaths, scores of accl-
dents, delayed trains and belated COM
muters were the net result. The storm,
1t is estimated, will cost the city about
a million dollars.
Thanks to the holiday tomorrow
Washington's birthday-san army Of more
than $4,000 snow shovelers will have lee
way to dispose of the heavy snowfall,
which set record for the speed with
which it smothered the metropolis.
The storm also caused difficulties to
shipping. Three freight vessels, outward
bound, were reported In trouble.

The Governor intends to make only
emergency appointments until after the

pected he will announce the makeup OF

State board Of accounts, until all Of the
appointments are announced.
There is no doubt, however, according
to those close to Governor McCray thst

HdUe WrdngLe
on Purchasing
AGENT s POWer
Mayor and Board of Works
Said to Hare Opposed
Ritter in COHfdb.

Conflicting reports of conclusions
reached at a conference In the board of
public works private office attended by
the board. Mayor Charles w. Jewett, Rus
sell Wilson, president Of the city coun-
ell, and Dwight S. Ritter city purchas-
ing agent, were adoat today.
The reports agreed in only one par
ticular, that the question discussed was
the relation of the city purchasing de-
partment to the board of public works
and the city council IN the matter OF
important purchases of equipment. The
purchase Of several thousand dollars
worth Of street repair equipment is now
under way, and It WAS to get a clear
understanding of procedure that the con
ference was called 1T Is said.
FEAR ANOTHER
CONTROVERSY.
Mr.. Ritter and the board Of works en-
gagged In a long and heated controversy
recently over the type of motor trucks
to be purchased for the city ash hauling
department Foreseeing difficulty of the
same nature I'm the coming equipment
purchase, the officials sought to iron out
the differences in advance.
According to one account Of what took
place In the meeting, the board Of works
and the mayor took sides against Mr..
Ritter and attempted to make him see
that the board does not consider him In
the light of a rubber stamp clerk" as
he had been quoted as having said, but
the board believes, however, 1T has the
final authority to decide on equipment
contracts under the law, the purchasing
agents power extending only so far as
to render expert advice. This report also
had it that the purchasing agent was told
he can not hope to run the city purchas
ing department like that Of a private
business.
MAYOR DESIRED
BUSINESS METHODS.
1t frequently has been said that Mr..
Ritter was told by Mayor Jewett he was
appointed purchasing agent for the eX-
press purpose that it was desired the
city purchasing department be operated
as nearly like that of big business con
Germ as possible.
From another source 1t was reported
that after three quarters of an hour of
argument the board of works finally ad-
mitted that the purchasing agent, be-
cause # his expert knowledge and great
opportunities of obtaining information
about products offered for sale to the
city, was In position to have more or
less right to say what should be bought.
1t was understood the purchasing
agent did not recedc from his contention
that, not being politician, he should
act as a check on the boards, which are
composed Of men picked for political
reasons, to the end that favOrtism might
not enter into any city purchase.
