Washington, Feb. 24.
A somewhat stormy scene occurred at a sitting of the House of Representatives' Judicial Committee to-day during the presentation of the impeachment charges against Judge Landis by Congressman Welty. The latter was subjected to a cross-fire of questions. Con-grossman Walsh asked for proof that Judge Landis had neglected his official duties while acting as supreme arbiter of organized baseball. Mr. Welty replied that "when trying to catch a rabbit, you have to follow his tracks."
The Chairman, Mr. Volstead, admonished him with—"Well, give us the facts and don't. make so many speeches."
In discussing the indictments of "throwing" games later, Mr. Welty said: "I'm going to show that these players are guilty of bribing Landis."—U. S. Navy Radio through Reuter.
