HOUSE GETS DEMAND
TO IMPEACH LANDIS
Judge Is Accused Of High
Crimes for Acting as
Baseball Arbiter.
Special Despatch to THE NEW Yorr HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. IL.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Feb. Ia.
Impeachment charges against Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands OF the Fed
eral District Court in Chicago were
made in the House to-day by Represen-
tative Welty (Qhio).
AS q ground for impeachment, Mr..
Welty charged that Judge Lands was
guilty of "high crimes and misdemean-
ors" because ne is remaining at the
head OF the Chicago Federal court and
acting as national arbitrator for organ
ized baseball. Judge Landis's holding of
the two offices tends to nullify the effects
of the gambling indictments against
members of the Chicago White Sox team
for throwing the 1919 worlds series and
of the $4,000 damage Judgment the
defunct Federal League obtained in the
Supreme Court of the District of Column
bia against the National and American
leagues for alleged violation of the anti
trust laws. Mr.. Welty asserted.
Mr. Nelty also charged the Judge
with neglecting the duties Of his Gov
ernment Office to lobby among State
Legislatures for laws to prevent gam
bling in baseball.
Mr. Welty's action in opening fire
on Judge Landis was taken Under pro-
visions of the Constitution and makes
It mandatory for the public judiciary
Committee to make an investigation
whether there is sufficient evidence to
Justify an impeachment trial by the
Senate Should the committee find this
to be the case, it so reports TO the
House, which then by a majority vote
decides whether the charges shall be
sent to the Senate for trial. In case
OF a Senate trial n two-thirds vote Is
necessary for conviction.
Chairman volstead (N1inn.) Of tn,
Judiciary Committee said tonight ht
had made no plans for the investigation
but indications are that it will be made
promptly. The ending of the present
Congress on March 4 will not kill tht
charges. but the general feeling in the
House Is that the Judiciary Committee
will not sustain the charges.
