1'DRY" LEADER Anglers
ST. ALOYSIUS' PASTOR
Father Donnelly Says Anti-SaIoon
League Head Libels Church in
Saying 1t Aids Saloon.

Rev. Francis P. Donelly pastor of St.
Aloysius' Catholic Church. last night
characterized as false, malicious, and H.
belous the statement made yesterday by
Andrew Wilson, president Of the Anti
Saloon League, before the excise sub
committee of the Senate District Com
mittee to the effect that the church had
built storm door and locked an en-
trance gate so that nearby saloon in
North Capitol street might evade the
law on measurement
The statement of Mr. Wilson" said
Father Donnelly, "is entirely false No
door has ever been barred and no gate
has ever been locked during the regular
hours when the church is supposed to
be open. During the hours of regular
services on Sunday every door and gate
is unlocked and made available for use.
Mr.. Wilson's statement is malicious
and libelOus, for he charges the church
authorities with cOnniving at violation
Of the excise law. I shall make special
mention Of this libelous attack in an ad-
dress to the Third Sunday Brigade next
Sunday morning at the church"

E-2 SUB EXPLOSION
REPORT SUPPRESSED
Secretary Daniels Keeps Secret Find
ings Of Special Court of Inquiry.
Edison Employe Blamed.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has again
put the lid on publicity in his depart
ment He announced yesterday afternoon
that he would not make public the re-
port of the special court of inquiry which
has just concluded its investigation into
the causes of the hydrogen gas explosion
last month on the submarine E-2, at the
New York Navy Yard, which resulted in
the death Of four men.
The report of the court was received
yesterday. 1t is understood that the court
found the explosion was due in part to
the failure of one of the Edison employees
to give the necessary warning to the
men who were engaged in discharging the
Edison battery at the time the explosion
occurred. Mr.. Daniels would merely say
that he had decided to approve a recon-
mendation that the experiments with the
Edison battery be continued and that the
E-2 should be used as a laboratory for
that purpose.

Cease to Champion Cause of Vets
Because of Strike in Wash

owners to accede to the demands Of the
union brewery workers who for many
months have been on a strike here, the

the striking workers, organized labor
would cease to champion the cause of
liquor and possibly would aid the pro-

first definite step toward ascertaining
the terms upon which the belligerent
nations will consider peace He has TAX
en- it in manner to which no belhger-

During Session

New York, Dee 21-The era.h in
prices on the stock exchange today fol-
lowing publication of the American note
to belligerents and Secretary LAnsing's
explanation, continued to the close. In
spite of support of big banking inter

en- the position of the market by de-
mand for extra margin, 3,l76,000 shares
were dumped into the exchange in the
widest day since the Northern Pacific
panic in 1901.
On the cotton exchange where prices
were bid up nearly 50 on the bale dur
ing the morning, there was a break of

cotton figures ranged 80 to A points
under yesterdays close.
Steel sold at 100 1-S during the late
afternoon. Trading was so furious that
the ticker was 10 to 25 minutes behind
the market during the last hour. Trad
ers operating from brokers offices could
not tell when giving orders what quo
tations prevailed on the floor at the
time.
On Apfll 80, ISUl, the Northern Pa

3,2Sl ,00o shares were traded in. Today

tory of the exchange.
Today $4,000 shares were traded in
