days announced by Chairman Ford

pleted, Republican members of the

Whether the opposition to such q

a Republican caucus within the time
set by Mr.. Fordney, it would be

It was this plea which finally won over

The resignation of Judge Landis

where he frequently took the cases

law breakers. At the same time his
reputation of administering justice
regardless of the stechnicalities' of the

He was vigorous in his attitude
against anti-Americans during the
war. His son, Reed Lands, was serv-

brought before him where the de-
fendant was found guilty. the Judge
imposed drastic sentences and scath-
un-American. This was particularly
true In the trials Of 1. w. WIS, Social
lists and pacifsts held before him.
In one speech during the war he
advocated that the German kaiser
and his six sons be executed by Allied

Judge Lands was one of the thirty
persons to whom bombs were mailed
on May day, 1919, and during the 1911

sitting through the trials.
