WELTY ATTACKS JUDGE LANDIS Ohio Representative Charges League Chiefs Hired Jurist to Protect Game. SOLON HINTS AT BRIBERY Congressman at Hearing Crltlclxe Judge tor Hie Outelde Work—, May Compel Him to Quit One of tho Job*. Washington, Feb. 23.— Acceptance by Federul Judge Landis of Chicago of $42,500 as supreme arbiter of baseball, while serving on the bench, might go unchallenged "if the motive back of It were not so apparent,” Representative Welty of Ohio declared before the house judiciary committee, in demanding Impeachment of the judge “for high crimes and misdemeanors.” He called attention to the action of the Supreme court of the District of Columbia in assessing damages of $240,000 against the big league baseball associations in suits brought under the anti-trust laws, and the indictment of players In Chicago for throwing games. Mr. Welty said: “While these matters were pending in .the courts, this illegal trust made Judge Landis Its chief arbiter. And why should they select a federal judgn as umpire? Was It because they wanted to tell the people *we are not an unlawful trust, because Judge Landis Is at our head?’ Was It because these busebull magnate ß wanted to create a favorable sentiment with the hope that the Supreme court of the District of Columbia would be reversed ?’’ In this connection Mr. Welty read a letter from Chicago, the name of the writer withheld, quoting a baseball magnate as saying that Judge Landis as a lawyer meant nothing to organized baseball, but that Judge Landis as a federal judge “was worth any price he might wish to ask." “If that was the intent,” Mr. Welty declared, “does the act not bring It within the law of bribery? If the magnates who were fined are permitted to employ Judge Landis, what would prevent the- Indicted players employing him?” Several members of the committee, while declining to be quoted In advance of a decision by the committee, privately expressed the opinion that the committee will make a report to the house so strongly condemning the precedent established by Judge Landis that he will feel called upon to relinquish one position or the other and that other judges will be restrained from accepting outside employment • *

Engineers to Fix Population Pivot. Whitehall Is the hub of the United Stutes. For near (t, probuldy on Jimmie Herrin's hilly 120-acre farm, a mite uud a half from the vllluge, la the new center of populutlou of the country ns fixed by the national census bureuu. \ In the last decade the' center hus moved only ulne miles-and In a westerly direction.

Now It has moved to Whitehall, one of the oldest settlements In that part of Indiana, which Is composed of two stores and a few houses, and which la situated Just across the Monroe-Owen county line In Owen county. The population pivot may be In a hog run or a cornfield. According to the census bureau, which placed it 8.8 miles southeast of Spencer, it would probably he on the rear part of the farm where Mr. Herrin keeps his hogs. Engineering experts from Indiana university will go there In a few ays to fix the exact spot. McCormick’s Creek Canyon, a stnte park, and a favorite Hoosler show place, is five miles away. For the ten years the center remained In Bloomington It was one of the points of Interest of the city. W. F. Showers, now dead, founder of the Showers Brothers’ company, caused a large steel pole to be erected on the spot. On top of this pole an electric light has burned night, and day for ten years. In 1910 there was considerable trouble in locating the exact center. It wns first fixed to the east of Bloomington, and a stone was engraved "Center of Population,” and placed in .position, when the word came from Washington, D. C. t that a mistake had been made in figuring, and that the jeaF center was, .somewhere inside the city limits df Bloomington. After definite instructions from Washington, members of the Indiana university faculty fixed the center on the Showers Brothers’ company grounds, Whitehall has a population of approximately 50 persons. In 1910 the census fixed the number of persons living there at 43.
