Chamberlain To
Be Appointed.On
Shipping Board

Washington, D. c., Feb. 14-Sen-
ator Chamberlain of Oregon, who
retiras from the senate on March 4
will Immediately step into office on
the United States shipping board.
This can be said positively on
definite information. Whether
President-elect Harding will choose
to make public announcement soon
of his intention to name Chamber
lain to the board cannot be said,
but there is no doubt that the de-
cision has been reached to have this
government avail itself of the sena-
tors services in the new capacity
just as soon as he retires from his
present office.
Senator McNary was in St. Au-
gustine, Fla, Saturday discussing
this and other public matters with
Mr. Harding and there is no doubt
that he has obtained the assurance
of his colleagues appointment, al
though 1T is not supposed that he
will announce the result of his con-
ference immediately upon his re-
turn here tonight.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Federal
Judge kenesaw Mountain Landis OF
Chicago, was impeached in the
house of representatives today by
Representative Welty, democrat,
Ohio, who charged him with high
crimes and misde meanors" in con-
nection with his acceptance of the
position of supreme arhiter of base
ball at salary of $42,50O a year.
Should the house decide to insti-
tute proceedings against Judge
Lands on the basis of Mr.. Welty's
charges, a formal trial before the
bar of the house would be held and
a decision rendered. Mr.. Welty did
not introduce a resolution propos-
ing impeachment as is the usual
procedure in such matter. Instead
he arose to "a question of high per-
sonal privilege" and announced
that he 'impeached" the judge.
Without debate, the Welty
charges. on Mr., Welty's motion,
were referred to the judiciary COM
mittee for investigation and report.
There were a few scattering noes.
Officers at Fort Bliss, from
Brigadier General r. L. Howe,
commander of Fort Bliss, to the
lieutenants conducting the search,
believe that when Lieutenant Pear
son is found he will be dead. Water
from his engine could have kept
him alive only a day or so, they
say and if he had found succor of
some kind they believe he would
have been able to get to a telephone
or telegraph before now to tell
headquarters of his trouble.
Five Charges Made.
impeachment was proposed by
Mr.. Welty on five specific charges
as follows:
"First-For neglectlng his Off
cial duties for another gainful oc-
cupation not connected herewith.
"Second-For using his office as
district judge of the United States
to settle disputes which might
come into his court as provided by
the laws of the United States
"Third-For lobbying before leg
islatures to procure the passage of
state laws to prevent gambling in
baseball, instead of discharging his
duties as district Judge of the Uni
ted States.
"Fourth-For accepting the po-
sition as chief arbiter OF the dis
putes in baseball associations ~ a
salary of $42,50O per annum while
attempting to discharge the duties
as a district judge of the United
States which tends to nullify the
effect of the judgment of the su-
preme court OF the District of Co
lumbia and the baseball gambling
indictments pending in the criminal
courts of Cook county, Illinois.
Says Baseball Injured.
"Fifth1-For injuring the nation
al sport of baseball by permitting
the use of his office as district
Judge Of the United States because
the impression will prevail that
gambling and other illega! acts in
baseball will not be punished in the
open forum as other cases"
