Demands Impeachment A strong demand has set in for the removal' of Wil liam Bauchop Wilson, Secretary of the Department of Labor, because of startling disclosures showing official leniency toward alien anarchists and other plotters against the government. Ole' Hanson, late mayor of Seattle, who is engaged in a vigorous Americanization campaign, is calling for Secretary Wilson's impeach ment. He bases this demand upon facts brought to light in the Ellis Island investigation. Frederick C. Howe, who resigned his post as immigration commissioner under lire, after hundreds of dangerous aliens had been turned loose, and who was on terms of friendship witli Emma Goldman, as revealed by a letter in his tiles, tcs tiilcd that he Invariably acted under orders from Wash ington. It is cliargcd that the entire immigration serv ice lias been honey-combed with Socialism and domi nated by Socialists. Hence the insistence upon a com plete change and .the removal of Secretary Wilson as head of the department. V r
