STONE SAYS WAS
DISHONORABLE ACT
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The treaty
by which the United States would az
quire the Danish West Indies for S25y
100000, recently signed by Secretary
Lansing and Danish Minister Brun,
.zow is before the senate foreign rela-
tions committee and probably viii be
considered early next week. It be-
came known today that the treaty was
sent to the senate in executive ses-
sion Tuesday, and referred to the COM
nfttee.
At the request Of the Danish for
eign Office the terms Of the convention
are TO be considered confidential until
both governments agree to have them
announced.
The fact that $25, 900 900 is the con-
sideration to be paid by the United
States leaked out some time ago how
ever, and in general way the nature
of the document has been discussed.
It is understood that in return for
the session Of the island of st.
Thomas, st. Croix and adjacent is
lands and rocks" with all public
buildings, Notifications, public funds,
rights and concessions belonging to
the Danish government, the United
States is to pay in gold the sum of
money stipulated within ninety days
after ratification Of the treaty;
maintain certain grants, licenses and
concessions granted in the islands by
Denmark, and guarantee the rights
of Danish citizens residing in the
ceded territory.
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, said con-
sideration of the treaty would be has
tened and that it would be ratified by
the senate before adjournment this
session. He will call a meeting of the
committee early next week.
II have talked with several repub.
lican members of the committee who
say they favor the treaty and viii
vote for it." said the senator. "Ot
course there is some criticism thai
the price to be paid for the islands
S25,0Oo,000, is too high, but when We
are told that is the lowest price Den
mark will accept for the islands there
is nothing for US to do but submit"
Investigation of the means b,
which a confidential copy of tn,
treaty became public was demanded il
the senate today by Chairman Stone
An abstract of the treaty publishes
this morning is believed to have beer
made from one of 25 numbered copie
sent to the senate Tuesday by tn
state department, with a letter trans
hitting a request of the Danish gov
eminent that the terms of he conven
ton be withheld until the two gov
ernments agreed to promulgate then
cit is hard for me to believe" sal
Sen. Stone, chat any senator woul
give this treaty to the public unde
the circumstances. Every senate
has a right to copy and to go to til
executive clerk and get it. If an
senator did, he knows where it hs
gone. But if he exposed it to tn
public, he did dishonorable act an
ought to be disciplined by the senate.
Senator Stone declared he though
the body of correspondents in II
senate press gallery would not n
sort to dishonorable methods in tt
acquisition of news.

WHITE HOUSE PROBE PUT UP TO CONGRESS-
Suspicion Exists That Someone
 Reaped Harvest in Stocks

Washington, Dec. 23-SuSpiciOn aroused by the peculiar f1uctations of the stock market led to the introduce ton in the House yesterday of @ res- olution demanding an investigation into the possibility that administra- tiOn officials or their relatives may have profited by advance information on the developments. Many repre- sentatives commented on the expected drop in the market on Tuesday morn ing before any public intimation was issued that a peace note had been sent.
 Representative Wood, of Indiana, who introduced the resolution, dwelt particularly on the curious sequence of statements explaining the presi- dents peace move, which emanated from the state department.
 The resolution, which was not read on the floor of the House, but merely filed with the resolution clerk, is as follows:
 Resolved, that a committee of five representatives be appointed by the speaker of the House to investigate and report as to whether or not any one high in the administration of gov- ernment affairs in the United States, or any relative of any one high in au- thority in the administration of gov ernmental affairs in the United States, profited financially by the fluctuations in the stock market occurring on Thursday, December 21, 1916. follow ing the two contradictory interpreta~- tions given to the public from the of flee of the secretary of state concern
 0f hn United States dated December IS, 1916, to the belligerent powers"
 Commenting on his action today, MT. Wood said:
 ."There have been rumors around the House all day that millions have been cleaned up in the stock market by rersons who received advance fnfor- nation about the peace note and the developments of the last forty-eight hours.
 "These reports have been discussed privately here on the floor and about the corridors. It was up to some one to introduce a resolution to find out if there was a leak.
 If it is true that some one had advanced information about these things and used it to profit, the world should know it at once. If it is not true, it is proper that all suspicion should be removed.
 My resolution speaks rather plainly for itself, if you will read it carefully, and it says all that should be said at this time. It is not diff cult to understand what I am seeking to find out''
 State department officials when they learned of the Wood resolution said they hoped the investigation would be made.

NOTED GOLFER DEAD.
Braid's Reported Death Due to Mis-
 taken Identity.

New York, Dec. 23.-Followers of golf throughout the United States and Canada will be glad to learn that the reported death of James Braid, the famous Scotch professional, was based upon a case of mistaken iden- titv and that Braid is very much alive and looking forward to the time when conditions abroad will permit him to visit this country and play in a. series of exhibition matches.
 Early in the month short dis snatch from London announced that James Braid, the famous golfer, had been killed while boarding moving train in the Waterloo station. It fur ther stated that Braid had been thrown backwards from the train and had died on the way to the hospital, apparently from a fractured skull. The report was given wide publicity and it was not until recently that it was learned that a man killed was not the Open Champion of 1901-5-6-8-10
 The James Braid who was killed in the manner described was a profes- sfonal golfer employed by the South sea club and so far as known no rela- tive to the James Braid who With Ray, Vardon, J. H. Taylor and one or two other players, stand out as the. most famous opponents of the ancient and honorable game.

DRIVE ON TAXI-CABS
Excessive Prices Charged by Chauf- feurs and Bridgeport Police Take Action to Protect the Public

Bridgeport, Dec. 23.--A crusade by the police against taxi-cab drivers who charge excessive rates has been started by the police. One drivers license was suspended for a week and those who violate the regulations governing cab hire will meet with a similar punishment.
 Recently a prominent citizen com- plained to the police that he had been charged $1 by a driver who took him from the railroad station to the Singer shop. The drivers li- cense was suspended.
 According to Lieut.. Wheeler, the operators are supposed to have a rate card conspicuously posted in their machines, which they fail to show. The regulations governing taxi-ca bs are the same as those under which the old horse cabs were oper- ated. The rate of prices stated on the card follow:
 One person, 50 cents; two persons 75 cents; three persons, $1: four per- sons, $1.25, within the city limits The old carriage rates of $2 per hour still prevail. All these prices from II o'clock in the evening until 6 o'clock in the morning are double.
