DEBT REPEATING
PROMISE DENIED
CLAIM THAT WILSON, MADE SUCH
SUGGESTION BRANDED As
LACKING TRUTH.
Position at Peace Conference Declared
to Have Been That Obligations
by Allies to America
Must be Paid.

Neutrality-suspicious. only is it untrue
that President Wilson at the Paris
peace conference promised the repre-
sentatives of the allied powers that
when the senate had ratified the peace
treaty he would make every effort to
have the United States government
cancel the debts owed to it by the
allies, but written proof exists that the
presidents position was quite to the
contrary. In a responsible and thor
oughly informal official quarter this
positive assertion was made Sunday
night in answer to published state
ments that the senate committee on
foreign relations knew that the presi-
dent had given such assurances at
Paris.
The information that the senate
committee had knowledge Of promise
Of that character by President Wilson
became matter Of report in the capt.
tai Saturday after Davis F. Houston,
the secretary Of the treasury, had ap-
peared before the committee on
foreign relations at his own request
and informed it in confidence that j.
Austen Chamberlain, the British chan
cellor of the exchequer, had made a
correct statement in his speech at
Birmingham, England, to the effect
that Great Britain had made Overtures
to the United States for the cancella-
ton OF. the allied. war debt to this gov
| vftf1n IF tho A0tOi1S nf Mr.
Houston's disclosures to the commit
tee have become known, but 1t was
confirmed that he told the committee
that the proposal mentioned by Mr..
Chamberlain and concerning which
there has been so much official mys-
terry in Washington, had actually been
submitted by Great Britain.
Additional details obtained concern
ing the British advances along this
line brought to light that the proposal
had come directly to the treasury de.
partment from Mr.. Chamberlain as
head Of the British financial ministry
ami not through the medium Of the
state department or any diplomatic
source. The suggestion was advanced
| about ten months ago, but not in the
bald form in which it has been under.
stood to have been made. Great
Britain, it was learned, had not asked
that the United States cancel the
British war Indebtedness to this gov.
eminent, but had explained to the
treasury department that, In the opin'
ion of the British government, it would
be a wise procedure for all allied gov
ernments to cancel their foreign wal
debts. The proposal or suggestion OF
Mr.. Chamberlain was that all Inter
governmental" debts be cancelled.

CHARGES BROUGHT
AGAINST LANDS
CHICAGO JuRIsT IS UNDER FIRE
BECAUSE OF HOLDING
TWO POSITIONS.
Ohio Representative Declares for I'M
parchment Of Federal Judge on
Charges Of High Grimes and
Misdemeanors.

WaShingtOn.-On charges of high
crimes and misdemeanors, Federal
Judge X. NJ. Lands of Chicago was
impeached in the house on February
IA by Representative Welty, Democrat,
Ohio, because of his acceptance of the
office of supreme arbitrator Of base
ball while still judge.
The Ohio member swept aside an
opinion of Attorney General Palmer
that Judge Lands was within the law
and that there was no law making
such acceptance crime. The opinion
was rendered recently by the attor-
ney general on request Of Mr.. Welty.
. Before proceeding, Mr.. Welty re-
fused a request by Senator Dial,
Democrat, South Carolina, to include
in the general indictment statements
attributed to the Judge in refusing to
send to Jail young Ottawa, Ill.,, BAN.
clerk. because Of the belief that bank
officials were responsible for the
clerks peculation by failure to pay him
a living wage.
Dial Also Takes Steps.
Senator Dial then announced he
would file complaint against Judge
Lands with the department of justice,
and later attacked the jurist in the
senate. describing him as freak
and a "crank." He characterized
Judge Landis' statement that the
bank clerks employers were, in d
measure, responsible for the youths
theft of $4,000, as 1.-The most bolshe
Wiki doctrine ever heard" and added
that If the action taken in parOlline
the clerk amounted to encouragement
Of such acts as those of the clerk
ut is striking at the foundations Of
our government"
There was no comment when Mr.
Welty concluded the reading of hi.
indictments. On his own motion, as /!
customary, the indictment was re
ferred to the judiciary committee.
