WASHINGIONM
LETTER M
AN o.

WASHINGTON--If the senate un
seats Senator Arthur r. Gould of
Maine it's action will go down on
the records as an important preced-
ent.
Gould's fitness is questioned be-
cause of charges that he paid bribe
of 100000 into a political campaign
fund in Names neighbor Canadian
province New Brunswick.
1t never has been definitely estab
lshed whether the senate can or
cannot expel "a member for turpi-
tude in his private life, although the
senate decided 10 to z that it could
and would investigate a Canadian
judges charges that Gould paid the
bribe.
Parallel cases in this country lend
no guide to the present senate. Their
history seems only to obscure the
issue. GoMd's case is altogether diff
ferent from those of William S. Ware
and Frank L. Smith, which involve
primaries and elections.
1'hirty-three years ago a special
session of the senate considered the
case of Senator William n. Roach of
North Dakota. A resolution providing
for a committee investigation of
charges against Roach similar to
the present Gould investigation was
introduced by Senator George Frisbie
Hoar of Massachusetts, who was
backed by Senator William e.
Chandler of New Hampshire.
There was an allegation that Roacl,
days, been involved in an $4,000
bank embodiment in Washington. He
moved to the Dakota territory in
1879 and started life all over again.
He became a mayor, a territorial
Legislator and ran twice tunsuccess-
fully for governor when North Dakota
became a state.
He was then elected to the senate,
whittier he came in 1898. He had
incident and restitution was said toI
have been made; nevertheless his
fitness was questioned and consid-
cradle debate followed introduction
of Hoar's resolution March 30. 1898.
But no vote ever was taken on the
for some reason or other;
the charges We're not investigated
and Roach served from 1893 until
1896. He died in New York in 1902 |
Arguments advanced by Hoar,
Chandler. and others probably will be !
studied during the Gould investiga- |
ton.

ID GIVE UP HIS
 !. s. CITIZENSHIP
Wyoming Rancher, an Earl,
 Will Claim His Title

New York, June e1 GP) - The titles O: American citizen and Wy oming rancher which Oliver Henry Wallop, Of Sheriden. Wyor and Whitcchurch, Hampshire, has re- taineI for more than forty years have been relinquished in favor of British carldom and seat i'll the house Of lords.
 The remuneration Of the Amcri- can titles 10 assure the British was announced yesterday when the ranchor arrived from London to visit his western properties. IL re- versed his decision Of a year ago, when Mr. Wanop inherited the title of Earl of Portsmouth upon the death Of his elder brother,
 At that time he declared he did not intend to give up his American citizenship despite the inheritance.
 Now he has decided it is his duty 10 his sons and family tradi- ton to resume the ancestral earl dom at Whitechurch, Hampshire, and take his seat in the house Of lolds. The restoration of his Brit ish citizenship is contingent only upon five years residence in that country and the oath of allegiance 10 the king. since he was born a Briton. He is now 64 years old.
 T shall be very sorry to go away" he said in announcing his decision. The happiest years of my life have been spent in Wyoming. v
 The newly created earl was one of six Englishmen who went 10 Wy oming in 1883. His fertile and prospering 5000 acre horse ranch in Little Goose canyon, near Sheri- dan. was then a land of hills and sage.
 The six adventures prospered in the new land, and all of them be- came American citizens. Mir. Wal lop took an active part in state af- fairs, and served two terms in the legislature.
 He also is an Elk. The ranch, with its rambling rustic house, broad lawn and green shrubbery, has become one of the show places Of the state.
 Mrs. Wallop. the new Countess of Portsmouth, was Miss Marguerite Walker, of Louisville, Ky. She re- turned with her husband yesterday. They were met at the pier by their second son. Oliver, who is a stu dent at Yale university. An elder son, Vincent Lymington, married Miss Mary Post, of Bayside, \. Y" last year. The earl and his wife will return to England in October
