Kcyretentitive Welty, of Ohio,
Sajri (Impeachment Charges
Pending
Washington, Feb. 24.?Benjamin
F. Welty, former Democratic mem
ber of the house from the fourth
Ohio district, made public today an
ather letter to President Harding
uiging that the resignation of Fed-I
??T.t/JirtPrt T WATTT KnTrtrO fllA I
President, be not accepted.
The former Ohio representative,
who as a member of the last con
gress sought to have Judge Landis
impeached after he had accepted
- the baseball arbitership, also made
fitrt)lk a letter to Chairman Vol
stead of the house judiciary com
mittee in which he quoted the
chairman as saying that the im
peachment proceedings were still
pending and were promising to call
up the matter as soon as urgent
legislation was out of the way.
"There is no doubt that: the im
peachment proceedings against
Jodge Landis are still pending in 1
congress," Mr. Welty wrote in his
letter today to the President," and
I felt injustice to Judge Landis as
well as to the public that the matter
should be disposed of by congress.
Judge Landis is either innocent or
guilty."

New Orleans, Feb. 25.?Measures
for securing uniform legislation
throughout the cotton producing
states on subjects related to the
production, financing, warehousing}
and marketing of cotton and plans
for waging- | a relentless warfare
against crop pests, with all the cot
ton states acting as a unit, were
adopted at the final session of the
Cotton States commission here to
day. Measures adpted by the cotton
commissioners will be embodied in
to a set of resolutions which will
be presented to the governors of
the cotton states' representatives
who attend the conference with the
request to the governors that they
be passed on to their legislatures to
the end that uniform legislation
governing the cotton Industry may
be enacted by the several states.
Thp organization of a permanent
cotton states commission with, three
commissioners from each cotton
state one of which will be an officer
of th? state department of agricul

nors.
The specific objects of the com
mission if adopted iby the several
states, will be, according to the
plans of permanent organization
adopted, "the control of insect pests
the betterment of living conditions
for farm dwellers, the establish
ment of adequate and uniform
warehouse systems, reduction of the
costs of marketing (Including ter
minal chaises and transportation)
the fiancing of the farmer during
periods of. markets, and other peri
ods of like character."
In the event such an organization
is perfected the United States sec
retary of agriculture will be re
quested to appoint at least two
representatives of the department
to attend the sessions of the com
mission.
Members of the commission to
iigxib exprea&eu uiem&tsiveb en

meeting and predicted that with
;he start they have made a perma

idjoumed sine die, to reconvene at
he call of the chairman, R. 0.
Cveritt of Durham, N. C., at some

STRANGE STORIES
OF HIGH FINANCE
TEN WOMEN SUMMONED TO
TESTIFY ON CHARGE?SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS SAID TO HAVE GONE IN
TO MYTHICAL POOL.
New York, Feb. 25.?Ten women,
several prominent socially, who claim
to have put more than $600,000 into
a mythical "pool" promoted by Al
fred E. Lindsey, broker, with a pala
t'.al home at South Niack, today were
summoned to appear before a su
preme court grand jury Monday and
help piece together the details of a
remarkable story of "high finance"
on which United States District At
torney Murphy will seek Lindsey's
indictment.
The list of alleged victims of the
missing broker is headed by Mrs. Lil
lian N. Duke, divorced wife of James
B. Duke, "tobacco king," who claims
she entrusted $325,000 to the engag
ing Lindsey.
Others on the list with their con
tributions to the pool include Mrs.
Dorothy Atwood, $97,000; Miss Cath
erine Adams, $40,000; Miss Charlotte
Nillson, actress, $20,000; Mrs. W. H
Arnold, $30,000; Miss Margaret
Bogart, $18,000; Mrs. Helen Burnett'
$31,000; Mrs. Adelaide V. Rice, $25
000; Mrs. Josephine A. Cornell, $20,-!
000, and Miss Florence James, $5,000
Siren sones of auick and fabulous
profits induced the women to dispose I
of securities they held and put their
cash equivalent in Lindsey's hands,
Mr. Murphy said. Lindsey's favorite;
story, he declared, was that he was a
fellow member of George F. Baker,
Thomas W. Lamont, Charles E. Sabin
Percy A. Rockefeller, James A. Still
man and other giants of the financial
district in a millionaire domino club
where the time not spent in playing
dominoes was given over to plan
ning "big killings" in Wall street.
This club was supposed to main
tain a secret room at the Ritz Carl
ton hotel to which Lindsey displayed
a pass key.
It was to get her money in a pool
operated by these men that Miss Nfll
son parted with her ?20,000, Mr.
Murphy said she had told him. Sim
ilar stories were told by the other
women he said.
The debonair Lindsey, Mr. Murphy
declared, was one of the smoothest
workers New York has seen in years.
Hnc Vinmo of Snn+Vi Mia^lr mid
of the show places along the Hudson
' river, and Lindsey himself wa3 a lead
er in civic affairs, having taken a
prominent part in the raising of Red
Cross and other funds.
But when he was "on the market"
all the sympathy dropped out of his
nature, according to the story told
Mr. Murphy.
One of his victims, Mrs. Rice, is 75
years of age and nearly blind, and
the $25,000 she put into the pool was
practically every cent she had. The
$20,000 of Mrs. Cornell represented
the proceeds of her husband's life
insurance out of which she had been
supporting her four children, one a
cripple.
Mrs. Atwood, who gave up $50,000
in cash and $47,000 in jewelry, has
been reduced from comparative af
fluence to raising pedigreed dogs for
a living.
GIRL ESCAPES HOME

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 25.?Mercdes
Brazell, 18, made her escape from the
detention home last night, holding up
officials of the institution at the point
of a gun, according to reports made
to local police.
Efforts of the police to locate the
girl whose parents reside here were
unavailing.
The girl was committed to the

MORE BOLL WEEVIL
FARMERS ARE TOLD TO PLANT
ONLY SUCH AREAS IN COT
TON AS CAN BE CULTIVAT
ED IN INTENSIVE MANNER.
FURTHER DISCUSSION.
New Orleans, Feb. 24.?Reports
of committees on production, mar
keting, control of crop pests and
permanent organization were
placed before the state represen
tatives comprising the cotton states
commission at today's session. All
were taken under advisement and
I will come up later for further dis
; cussion.
The report on permanent orga
I nidation proposed that the cotton
states cmmission be made a perma
nent organization with three com
1 missioners to /represent each state,
one of whom shall 'be definitely
connected with the official agricul-,
tural interests of his state.
In the report on cotton produc
tion government records bearing on
the ravages of the boll weevil were
incorporated, the , report quotinjg
the United States entomologist as
authority for the statement that
due to the present (mild winter
there would be a laTge increase in
the number of the weevils to
emerge this year. To counteract
this, the committee recommended
that growers be urged to plant only i
| such areas in cotton as can be cul
tivated in an intensive manner.
The immediate destruction of all
infested material, establishment of
,
j non-planted ones where the neces
sary to check the advance of the
weevil and uniform state laws to
fight not only the boll weevil but
all crops pests ^also were recom
mended by the committee . on pro
duction.
Reports of the appearance of the
pink boll weevil in certain sections
was called to the attention of the
commissioners and some plan of
concerted action to prevent the
spread of his pest, said to be more
destructive than the weevil, was
urged.
The report of the committee on
permanent organization further
provided that at each of the meet
ings of the permanent organization
the United States secretary of ag
riculture be requested to name two
experts on methods of fighting crop
pests to attend the council and ad
vise iwth the state commissioners.
The report of the committee on
marketing advocated adequate ware
house facilities with uniform laws
governing their conduct, reason
able rates for storage and insur
ance, additional credit facilities
providing for long-time credits at
reasonable rates, and a continua
tion of the work of the war finance
corporation.
