By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - On
 charges of high crimes and misde- meanors Federal Judge K. M. Lan- dis of Chicago was impeached in the house today by Representative Welty, democrat, of Ohio, because of his acceptance of the office of supreme arbiter of baseball while still judge.
 The Ohio member swept aside an opinion by Attorney General Palmer that Judge Landis was within the law and that there was no law mak- ing such acceptance crime The opinion was rendered recently by the attorney general on request of MT. Welty.
 Before proceeding, Mir. Welty re- fused a request by Senator Dial, democrat, of South Carolina, to in- clude in the general indictment state mcnts attributed to the judge in re- fusing to send to jail a young Ot- tawa, H., bank clerk because of the belief that the bank was responsible for his peculatiohs by failure to pay him a living wage.
 Senator Dial then announced he would file complaint against Judge Landis with the department of jus tice and later attacked the jurist iii the senate describing him as freak" and a crank" He charac- terized Judge Landis' statement that the bank clerks employers were i'll measure responsible for the youths theft of $96,OOO as the finest bolshe- vik doctrine I have ever heard" and added that if the action taken in pa rolling the clerk amounted to en- of such act ''it is strik- ing at the foundation of our govern nent."

DOCUMENT RECEIVED IN SILENCE

There was no comment when MT. Welty concluded the reading of his indictment. On his second motion, as is customary, the indictment was referred to the judiciary committee. Less than a third of the members present voted and scattering noes" were heard.
 Representative Sherwood, demo- crat, of Ohio, clapped his hands but otherwise there was little indication as to how the house felt.
 The next step will be by Mir. Vel ty, who will appear, possibly this week, before the judiciary committee with witnesses. The committee has the power to dismiss the charges and so report to the house and adoption of such a report would eX- onerate Judge Landis of the charges.
 Senator Dial said the bank clerk did not steal a few hundred dollars to aid his family but took $96,OO0. This judge" he continued, put premium on the amount of this thieving"

INSTRUMENTATION business ~

for the month. Important changes for
the better were e in the credit sit
uatiOn, distinct encouragement IN
many basic business lines and strong
liquidation, indicating increased abil-
ity OF business 10 settle its accounts.
The "wholesome Improvement"
which the boards correspondents
found in almost every section appear
ed TO have been based largely on the
advance in cotton prices. As a result
of the higher cotton values liquidation
has taken place and wholesale and re.
tail trade has been buoyed up, the re-
port said.
Marked improvement in the credit
situation was cited by the review as
the noteworthy feature Of business
during the month, the board declared
that taken in all, from a financial
standpoint, the month has been the
main period OF distinct encourage
ment."
The board noted only a slight in
GREASE in employment in the thirty
days, but he added that while the end
Of the harvesting aud crop movement
season might tend to Increase the
number OF unemployed, this was like
ly to be offset by a growth In demand
for labor on the part Of manufacturing
industries.
Railroads have begun TO increase
the number of their employees to some
extent, especially in the West" the re-
view continued, and the fact that
building contracts have reached a rec
ord figure for this year promises par
tial employment in that service during
the autumn"
There has been a steady and reason
ably heavy movement OF agriculture
products TO distributing and export
centers, the board reported. Prices of
most OF these have advanced To an ex-

Capt. G. $. T.. A. Hallel, chief of

from the exhaust gas of the Liberty
