UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, July 14,-Complete
censorship over reports Of the inves-
tigation of Ensign William Richard
son by the naval board of inquiry for
alleged application of the law of
fight" to Mexicans as charged by
Correspondent Boalt of the Newspaper
Enterprise association, was establish
ed at Vera Cruz today.
Although this censorship does not
apply to the navy department here,
officers were in the dark as to what
progress has been made in the probe.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt believed
the investigation was still under way.
but he had no official word from Ad-
miral Badger regarding 1t.
Secretary of War Garrison was SIM
ilarly situated. He declared General
Funston had never reported his find
ings on his private investigation OF
Boalt's story, but he contemplated
asking Funston for report. His
only hesitation on this point was
founded on desire not to interfere
with the navy inquiry.
Comes up Saturday..
WASHINGTON, July 14.--Expecting
no action by the house naval affairs
committee on his resolution for In
quiry into Fred l.. Boalt's "law OF
fight story from Vera Cruz, Repre-
sentative Falconer, of Washington,
today planned to ask the house to con-
slider it on Saturday.
Saturday is the first time under the
house rules that I can cali for its
consideration" said Falconer today.
"By that time expect to have consid-
cradle data and information on not
only Boalt's story, but upon Ensign
Richardson's status. From everything
III now have, 1t appears that Richard
son is the man behind it all, that he
was the one who told Boalt and the
lotler correspondents that Mexicans
were shot down under the Ley Dc
Fuga.'
From inquiries he had made, Fal
coner said, he was convinced the
house naval committee to which his
resolution was referred would take
no action until Chairman PadgA.'
COIL confer with Secretary Daniels.
"Bn. even then" he added, "if Sec.
rrtary Daniels does not want the

 Mir. Rector gave a practical demon stration of his sanitary gas heating system, which gas engineers all over the world have hailed the most reyo- lutionary heating invention of the age, because it eliminates coal as a medium for obtaining heat and does away with all fears of a coal famine. After the demonstration, The Soph- ists adjourned to Mir. Rector's private office where refreshments were served.
 Besides MT. Rector, other members of The Sophists are: Helen Rowland. Bachelor Girl of the New York Even ing World; Dr. Elmer Lee, editor of Health Culture; Professor George Cooley feminist and pure food eX- pert; Dr. Alma Cusan Arnold, the spine specialist; Murray Schloss, the artist and social reformer, Madame Renee Florigny the celebrated French pianiste; Eugene Delmar, author of a number of works upon New Thought and Self Control; Bruce Calvert, lee turer and editor of The Open Road: Madame Anna Gulbrandfen, singer and Interpreter of Morse Folk Songs. George Thomas, an inventor connect ed with The Aeolian Co.,; Col. Guelph Elbiug, an eX-Prussian army officer, traveller and explorer and a hero of the Boer War; Dr. Morris Karpas, of the Pschycopathic ward of Bellevue hospital and an authority upon insan- ity, Charles Lippman, the advertising expert; Madame Mana Wyle, imper- senator of famous men, and Ida Vera Simonton, the African traveller and lecturer and author of "Hel's Play ground, "The Savagery Of CiyIliza- uou' and Housekeeping in the Alri- can Juneles."
 The view from Mir. Rectors suite of offices is magnlfcent and entranc- ing. At night 1t is a panorama of light and motion. For miles and miles in a straight line stretches Broadway, one of the most noted thoroughfares of the world and said to be the most brilliantly lighted street in the world.
