IN|I HH|HA*N
Washington, ID. G., Jan. 4.-OHcial
announcement that the government
will act IN the newest phase Of the
submarine crisis brought on by the
sinking Of the Persia was made today
at the White House.
Secretary Tumulty issued this
statement for the president: The
president and the secretary OF state
are taking every means possible TO
obtain full facts in this grave matter
and Will act just as soon as the infor
nation is obtained.
III the absence of detailed and spe.
cifc information on which to base the
next step, President Wilson cancelled
the cabinet meeting which was to
have been held to-day. but conferred
with Senator Stone and some mem-
bers Of the foreign relations commit
tee.
The president instructed Secretary
Lansing to bring Immediately to the
White House any new information
which came to hand and then busted
himself reading the official dispatches
SO far received and getting in touch
generally with the situation.
The administration is depending
largely on the inquiries which Ans
bassador Penfeld has been instructed
TO make at Vienna and the informa-
ton which consuls are gathering else
where, to establish the nationality OF
the submarine which is said to have
sunk the Persia.
White House officials said both the.
senate and the house would be kept
informed Of all important develop
ments in the foreign situation, prob
ably through conferences between the
president and senate and house lead
'efs, although ii any drastic action is
taken it is possible that the president
may send q message to congress.
There was no indication today Of
what the prospects were for formally
ac%duainting Bulgaria and Turkey Of
the governments position on the
question Of submarine warfare.
It has been proposed that such ac.
tion should be taken so that zone. of

Interests Alike Are
Found Blameless

Washington, Jan. 5.-Charges circu-
lated during the last session Of con
gress that administration officials act
ed in the interest Of foreign business
firms in urging the passage Of the
government ship purchase bill were
held to be baaeless in majority and
minority reports filed today BY the
senate committee appointed to investi-
gate them. Both reports also found
the shipping interests blameEess Of il
legal activity in opposition to the mea-
sure.
The majority denounced Theodore
Roosevelt for failing to appear before
the committee to testify concerning
bis publihsed assertion that President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan 1had en-
deavored in tho interest Of certain
foreign business firms to secure for
the United States the power to pur-
chase the interned ships Of one nf
the belligerents. The charge, the re-
port said, had its origin lin that UNI
generous trait Of the human mind
which makes it prone to attribute IN
worthy motives to redoubtable rivals
and particularly political antagonists.
