He agreed with the Chancellor that

Grand Jury: that all the facts have
been laid before the officials In Wash
ington. The decision on the course to

eral.
Mr., Marshall had a long conference
yesterday morning with William n. on
ley, head of the special investigators
Of the Department Of Justice In New
York. Mr.. Onley afterward was In con-
ference with George Lamb. head Of the
neutrality squad of the Treasury De-
rartment, and several other persons who
worked up the case against the officials
OF the Hanbure-American Line. II was
that they were sitting the evil

In addition, It was learned, the inves-
tipators and the United States Attorneys

bearing on the German propaganda now
