JUDGE LANDIS IMPEACHED
Congressman Welty, of Ohio, Pre-
sent the Charge before the
House.

Monday, Congressman Welty, OF
Ohio, presented resolution in the
house of representatives impeachine
Judge Kennesaw Mountain Lands.
The resolution was presented because
Mr.. Welty felt that Judge Lands
had violated his oath in accepting a
salary of $42, 500 as arbiter of base
ball.
Should the case be brought to trial
it will come before the senate in the
form of trial and the case decided on
the merits of the evidence adduced.
Judge Lands recently created a
sensation by releasing a paying teller
of a Chicago bank without bond
after it had been shown that he had
embezzled almost 100000 and that
his salary had been only 500 month.
He censured the bank officers on the
grounds that the salary paid the
young man was entirely to small.
United States Attorney General
Palmer has given out a statement
that Judge Lands was acting within
his authority in the case.

BooTLEGGlNG OUTFIT FOUND
One Discovered in Court House, But
Very little Whiskey Found

Last week some one gave Marshal
Lyles a tip that whiskey might be
found in the county Strong Room,
which is locaed in the court house
adjourning the Circuit court room and
just behind the stand occupied by
the judge.
No one seemed to know where the
key was to the Strong Room, but
after considerable effort the door
was forced and bootlegging outfit
was found which consisted of over
a dozen empty bottles, jug and some
water. The jug contained very
small amount of whiskey, but that
was practically all the whiskey found
If all that has been said about the
find should be printed it would make
something like a book and some
people would certainly feel uncom-
Portable, to say the least. How long it
had been in operation the person or
persons who know will not tell.

CRosSvILLE, TENNESSEE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Is
BUSINESS REVIVAL COMIkG
Spring as the Time Most persons
Set for the "New Awakening"

For several months business con
ditions have been greatly depressed
i'll many parts of the country, but no
all over. There arc some section.
where the depressions has been fell
little if at all--notably the larger
part of the middle west.
In the strictly cotton growing sec.
tions of the south the depression has
been the most serious and is still
in that state now. Lumber has gone
off seriously and many mills have
shut down throwing thousands OF
men out of employment.
The cotton and wool weaving CEN
ters of New England and other north
ern and eastern points were among
the first to shut down. Recently
many thousand workers have been
employed again and il is predicted
thaht few weeks more will see pra-
tically every spindle moving and no
idle people. In almost every instance
the employees have gone back to
work at reduced wages and no strikes
are threatened, which is regarded as
especially favorable sign.
In practically every city craftsmen
are busy preparing extensive plans
for home building in the spring.
There seems to be concerted move
ment on foot to materially reduce the
one million and a half shortage OF
homes that now exhists.
Many thousand railroad men have
been laid off and because the railroad
workers declined to accept any cut
in wages, there is every probability
many thousand more will be laid eff
before the wage reduction is brought
about, but all admit that it must just
IS surely come in railroad lines as
my others.
IN lnlS DEL ION
In this section the depression has
been felt very little and the present
outlook is for much activity with the
coming of spring, but that the wage
eduction must be accepted is gen
rally admitted In numerous i'll
tances wage reductions have been
ccepted and may be followed by
ONE slight reductions below present
'rices, with the opening of spring.
There is a prospect of the erection
# several homes in Crossville the
oming summer unless excessive
wages shall stand in the way. Doubt
ess numerous persons over the coun-
y have plans for building to some
xtent and should labor conditions
rove favorable, they will build aso.
1t is generally understood and ad-
lifted that living expenses in this
ection are much less than few l
lonths ago and that the laborer can
ctually buy more with the wages /
e now receives than with the higher d
ages of few months ago. All in t
II the outlook for this section is i
ery promising for business revival L
ith the coming Of spring. h

SUSPENDED LIFE
THEORY is DOUBTED
DR.. MAST SAYS HUMAN, SEAL
ED AND FROZEN, WILL NOT
SURVIVE AS WILL FROG.

BALTIMORE, Md.-Biologists do
not agree with CASTOR D'Auville, of
Paris, that human life can be pro-
longed indefinitely by person taking
a nap in an ice box like certain pro-
tozoa.
DR.. Samuel A. Mast, professor of
biology at Johns Hopkins University,
said Yesterday that he was not familiar
with the work of D'Auville, although
he knew of the experiments IN lite
prolongation conducted by jacques
Loeb in, this country and by Metchn1-
koff. Maupas and others in Europe.
1T might be entirely true that plant
and animal life-if you want to call 1t
life-have been continued indefinitely
by a system of cellular separation,
Dr. Mast said. at might be true that
5000 generations OF certain protocol
have been obtained without diminish
ing the vital power OF the original.
True of -Blooded Species.
1T is undoubtedly true that nearly
all forms of cold-blooded animals can
endure indefinite freezing and come to
life again when thawed out. 1t IS also
a matter of common knowledge that
bears. wombats and some other warm
blooded animals can sleep comfortably
through the winter.
But the conclusion does not follow
that a frozen human being can be
thawed out like frozen frog. Both
might be classed as animals, but there
are certain points OF difference, and
the ability to bear freezing is distinct
w one of these differences.
Sees No Practical Advantage.
"What good would it do you, any
way, to have the ability of being
frozen up for an indefinite period?
You certainly would not be enjoying
life while in the frozen state. And
there are not many OF us who would
sleep through the winter even If we
had the ability"
A possible advantage in the ability
TO freeze and thaw out again might &C
crue to such peoples as the Esquimo,
it was pointed out, but all the Eskimo
experiments in that line were believ-
ed to have been purely involuntary,
with fatal results.

IS. A. |. RETRENCHING
| IN NUMEROUS WAYS
OFFICES DISCONTINUED, THE
BRIDGE GANG LAID OFF AND
GEN'L SUPT. ABOLISHED.

The Seaboard Air Line Railway
company is making a general re-
in expenditures along the
lines of late and this retrenchment is
having its effect in Richland, as we'll
as ali other territory along the divis-
ion. -,
Captain r. NJ. Hicks and Mr., Wal
ter Colbert, of this city, are at home
for an indefinite period OF time on ac-
count OF the bridge gang on which Mr..
Hicks has been captain tor many years
having been discontinued, Several
agencies along the lines which have
had operator agents have been abol-
ished as telegraph station agencies,
thereby reducing the agencies to de-
pot tenders and abolishing the regular
salaried agencies. This decision is
causing some moving about with the
operators along the line and also
causes some changes in the lineup OF
forces here.
Several weeks ago the section gangs
were reduced to about one-half force
and for a time there was talk of doub-
ling two sections under one foreman,
but this was not carried out. Train
crews have been cut off to such an
extent that freight service has been
considerably handicapped. 1t was re
ported here this week among railroad
EMPLOYEES that the Office OF general
superintendent had been entirely abol-

HIGHER MORAL SENSE Is
NEEDED In UNITED STATE
Says Nudity in Art Does Less Harm
Than Nudity in Language.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. IA plea
for more moral sense not subject to
sleeping Sickness" was made by Dr..
Henry Van Dyke, former. minister to
Holland. before several thousand ed
ucators here for the National Educa-
tional Association convention.
1t was this that was needed, rather
than stricter statues and DEGREES in re-
spect to better art, he declared.
"Jazz music was invented by de-
mons for the torture OF imbeciles," he
said. The state has the same right
to protect its citizens from deadly art
as it has to prohibit the carrying OF
deadly weapons But | do not think
the law can reach the matter. 1t is
spiritual.
Nudity in art has done less harm
than nudity OF the language in which
it is sometimes discussed. There is a
difference between the nude and the
undressed." u.
The national council OF education at
its final session adopted resolution
urging all churches to unite in max
ing religious education more univer-
sal.

ABUNDANCE OF PEACH
CURCULIO is ALARMING
Pest Found in Large Number IN
Southwest Georgia Orchards

A total of 916 adult curcullos were
collected on block of about five hun
bred and fifty trees on WEDNESDAY
March 9th, by agents OF the Fort Val
lev station OF the u. S. bureau OF en-,
tomology. This is about a five hundred
per cent increase over the total NUM-
Der collected two days previous. ne
early appearance of such great num-
Der OF curculios is an excellent mdl-
cation of another wormy year. On &C
count of the seriousness OF the sltua-
ton growers. are advised to make
Earring frames Immediately and Jar
each morning for the beetles. Full IN
formation concerning the method OF
Earring can be obtained at the Fort
Valley station.
In addition to this Earring growers
must follow the government spray
ing and busting schedules and other
recommendation very closely II this
serious problem is to be handled sue
cessfully. A very wormy crop, proba-
bly even worse than 1920, can be eX-
pected unless every effort is made by
the growers to carry through the rec
concentrations at the right time. =: D.
