Why Lsadla Was Named.
Asked to explain why Judge Land la
had been picked by organised bus-
ball to sit as arbiter, Mr. Welty pre
sen ted a letter from Chicago which
purported to quote one of the magnates
a saying that Landis, as a private
eitisen, meant nothing to baseball,
but that Landis as a judge meant ev
erything. Mr. Welty was emphatic
in the assertion that this was th real
basis for his appointment
Boms committee member expressed
the view that while the committee
might aot vote to impeach, the charges
would not be 'dismissed without pos-
ib1s ensnr" or criticism. It also
wls aaid that Mr. Welty 's bill making
it unlawful for a Federal judge to ae-
peept any pay except that allowed him
by the, government, probably would be
reported out with a recommendation
for speedy enactment. This, they said,
would cure the ''evil condition" men
tioned by Mr. Welty.
Only One Defender.
The only defense of Judge Landis
wm made bKBepresentativ Gallivao,
Democrat, MossachutetU, not a mem
ber of ths committee, who announced
that he desired to be heard. Mr. Welty,
Mr. Gal li van asserted, had failed to
lubstantlate his charge

tion of a new prison
"But I understand thnt they sold
the farm for notes and not for cash,''
said Senator DeLainey.
'If they sold that farm at a time
whea land wa worth more than it had
ever been worth before without getting
money or securities upon whieh they
eould borrow money, it is the most un
businesslike arrangement I have aver
heard of and ia indefensible," declared
oenator Hansen.
Senator DeLaney, Burgwin nnd
Burgwya thoaght that chasges in a rao
lutioa aaing sue strong terms should
not OS passed without reference to a
mrnUte! Senator Nash wanted ths
resolution passed with ths preamble
strieien out, and Henator Bwaia wanted
to vote it down immediately, declaring
tnat as had airsady seen convinced
that the General Aaaembly had erred
by not appropriating sufficient fund
witu which to carry out its mandate.
Asks Why Lawa Are Ignored
Senator McCoin thought the Senator
from Tyrell had ait upon the 'milk
ia ths coeoanut," and insisted that a
between the General Assembly and the
directora of the priaon there ihould be
no queation a to ; whose judgment
ehould control as to what constituted
"sufficient funds.
"I want it clearly understood that I
am not making an attack upon any
body, but I do think that we should
know why ths laws passed by this Gen
eral Assembly are calmly ignored," de
nim.
If I wia suit I wouldn't have sns

wno said that the Ueneral Assembly
nad been in session for over forty
days, and tnat common sense and com
mon decency ihould have dictated that
ths directors of the prison inform it
of their decision to ignore the mandate
of ita predecessor.
Senator McCoin Anally arreed for the
resolution to go to the committee, but
anotner clash was precipitated between
him and Senator McCulloch, chairman
of the committee, as to ths date of
the hearing. The chairman agreed to
call a meeting "as soon aa the director
