MOUNT SUES 7 PHYSICIANS Oregon City, Feb. 16. A suit for $50,000 damages against seven phy sicians in Oregon City was filed Monday by Dr. Hugh S. Mount, who charges that the seven signed a statement In which he alleges his character was defamed. The defend ants named are Dr. O. A, Welsh, M. C. Strickland. A. j H. Huycke, C. H. Melssner, W. Ross Baton. C. A. Stu art and George E. Btuart. The case arose following the shooting of Alex DeFord by D. E. Frost on No vember 21, when Frost was assisting Night Officer Surf us kin capturing De Ford, who had been fighting on Main street. DeFord died at the Oregon City hospital two days later. Dr. Mount was called by the DeFord family to hold a postmortem and testi fied in direct contradiction to the state ment of Dr. Welsh, . county health of ficer, who had attended DeFord at the hospital and diagnosed the case as con fleunt pneumonia, ; from which ho had asserted DeFord -died, rather than from the wounds received when he was shot. Following the Inquest, Dr. Mount, through an agreement with the county officials, filed a bill for J25 with the county for conducting the postmortem ana was not paid by the DeFord fam ily. At this the seven doctors filed a protest with the county court, asking that the sum be withheld. Dr. Mount asserts that the statments contained in tne protest are defamatory.

Impeach ment proceedings started Monday against Judge Landis of Chicago by Representative B. F. Welty, Demo crat, of Ohio, will be followed by separate action institutes by Senator Nathaniel Dial, Democrat, of South Carolina.' ' . Senator Dial made this announcement Monday after Welty had failed to in clude in the basis for his action any thing other than the Chicago jurist's $42.500-a-year Job as arbiter of organ ized baseball. In his case against Judge Landis, tne Mouth Carolina senator will use as grounds for impeachment the re cent action of : the judge in releasing Francis J Carey, 19-year-old bank teller, who confessed to embezaling $91,800. Senator Dial will be prevented from bringing the impeachment indictment himself because of the constitutional provision ; that such proceedings .. must originate : in the Tiouse. The senator said, however, he will ask a South Car olina member of the house formally to present his charges. Discussion of this course already has been begun. LANDIS SIMPLY SMILES AT ENEMIES ACTIVITIES By Earl L. Sfeaab ITsirenal Sertiee Staff Correspondent Chicago, Feb. 15. Those who saw Judge JC M. Landis' broad smile when his court adjourned Monday knew he was not agitated over the impeachment proceedings started against him Monday by Representative Welty of Ohio be cause he had become bead of organized baseball. : Tou haven't a thing to worry about. Every good cltisen in Chicago will fight for you." was the expression of one ad mirer. "I am not worried about this." the judge told another caller. "I am no more, interested in this than I am in the appointment of a new bell hop at the hotel across the Street" t : r The judge was on the bench when newspaper men informed him of what Representative Welty was doing in Washington. He looked at the dispatch and smiled as he went down the list of the charges against him. "Doesn't that beat all?" he said. "No one takes that , seriously but Senator Dial and Welty. Guess I'll let them get all lathered up before saying anything." Further than that he refused to com ment on the matter. Since Judge Landis began making the road rocky for liquor violators, he has been the most talked-of man in Chi cago. Today's proceedings added to the talk LANDIS' ACCUSER MAY BE HELIf IN CONTEMPT OP COURT Chicago, Feb. 15. (L N. S.) Law yers of Chicas-o today, comma- to the defense of Judge K. M. Landis, who has been attacked In the United States senate by Senator Dial of South Caro lina for his action in the case of an Ottawa, ,111., bank teller, accused of embesslement, raised the point that Senator , Dial may be In contempt of court. j "The courts have held In a number of decisions," said Harry W. Standidge, former president of the Illinois Lawyers' association, "that discussion of a case still in court Is contempt of cowrt. In this case Senator Dial is criticising Judfe Landis in a case which is not completed. Judge Landis has announced that he has not yet decided what sentence he will impose upon the Ottawa bank clerk." Standidge declared the point at issue is how far the constitutional provision that no senator or representative shall be taken to account for his statements on the floor, protects Senator Dial In his re marks concerning Judge Landis. Threat of impeachment proceedings, Standidge pointed out, might intimidate a judge. CHICAGO JUDGE MAY BE ' CALLED BEFORE COMMITTEE Washington. Feb. 1S.CU.

"Any woman desiring to be excused from jury service may claim exemption by signing a written or printed notice thereof and returning the same to the sheriff before the date for appearance, and if exemption is so claimed by rea son of sex no appearance need be made In answer to said summons, . provided hqwever. that it shall be the duty of the persons serving any, summons for Jury duty to inform every female person so served of the provision and to fur nish her with a written or printed blank on which to make such demand for ex emption."
