Representative Gardner, Massachu
setts, asked that President Wilson,
Secretary Tumulty, Secretary of State
Lansing, white house and state depart
ment employees and officials of Ameri-
can embassies abroad be questioned.
As the days proceedings closed it
was believed a general leak investiga-
tion by the house would follow. The
resolution of Representative Wood, In
diana, asking investigation of Thomas
w. Lawson 5 charge against house
members, was lost sight of. Under
Wood IS resolution, the committee could
recommend general investigation but
must determine whether Thomas W.
Lawson S statements regarding the
leak questioned the integrity of the
house A substitute resolution is ex.
pected to be introduced Monday.
The committee decided to start hear
Iings at $3.50 a. m. Monday and continue
throughout the day.

TO ASK LEGISLATURES
TO ADVERTISE STATE
Want $4,000 a Year Spent
In Inducing Tourists to
Visit Northwest

The legislature to meet in Salem
next Monday noon will be asked for an
appropriation Of $4,000 per annum for
two years to put on a gigantic adver-
tising campaign to attract tourists 70
the northwest. And the Legislature OF
Washington will be asked to do the
same Today the Northwest Tourist
association is in session in Portland
with delegates from British Columbia,
Washington and Oregon. Salem is
represented by Ivan G. Mcdaniel, man
ager Of the Commercial club. The. OBJ
ject of the association is to combine
the scenic resources of British Colum-
bia, Washington and Oregon in one
great trip for the summer tourist, and
to advertise them to the world. Cali
fornia advertises and receives about
$2000,000,000 every year from tourists
and Colorado about $50000,00O. Now
that tho interstate commerce commits
sion has prohibited the roads out ot
Chicago from discriminating against
| the northwest in tourist rates, there is
chance OF getting some of the sum
mer tourist travel The bill to be in
troduced in the legislature provides
that all the money appropriated shall
be used for advertising and that the
governor shall appoint two men TO ap-
prove bills as well as TO direct the work.
Heretofore, the railroads ont of Chi
cago and st. Louis required tourists to
pay an extra $3.50 for the privilege Of
returning home by the northwest, al
though the mileage is about 200 less.

DISCOVERY MAY LEAD
10 CONTROL OF CANCER
Scientist Says TetheIin win
Make Human Family
Larger

Berkeley, Cal, Jan. 6.-The secret Of
how to make a short man tall and tall
man taller is within the grasp of science,
according to DIR. t. B. Robertson, Of the
University of California, in a statement
today. Announcement has been made o
the Bio-Chemistry department of the
university, that tethelin, the substance
which controls growth has been Isolated.
This substance, fluid, is declared tc
be in the pituitary body at the base
of the brain and the scientists believe
that by retarding or aceelerating its ac-
tion it may ultimytely be possible to
control human stature.
One important phase of the univer-
sity's announcement is the fact that ex-
periments have demonstrated that tethe-
lin aceelerates greatly the growth of
cancer. DR.. Robertson believes that. ul-
timately process will be found for con
trolling the functions of the substance
in cancer and thus possibly effeeting a
control over the dread disease.

birth Of the child, while the story Of
the defendant was full Of discrepan-
cies. He asked the jury to consider
that the girls life was practically
ruined, that she would never be de-
sirable in the sight Of young men
looking for wife, that she would be
denied the society she ordinarily
could have, that as long as he lived
the father would have to take care Of
the child without name, and that he
was also responsible for the care of

The argument by the attorneys took
up the greater part of this afternoon
and late today the case was submitted

hut always to win fair and square. 1t
Is to be regretted that a board Of CEN
trat high school mon should dictate
whether or not a northern city should
remain IN state competition on charges
rs ninsy as those that caused the bar
ring Of Gary.
This year Cary Emerson has one ~
the strongest basketball teams in its
history and would have given anv
southern or central high school a race
for the state scholastic championship
which might have been on reason for
the hasty action.
Lake county high schools feel that
the board did Gary a great Injustice.
There is much ill-feeling against the
biased member of the board in this
district and there Is talk of pushing a
reconsideration by the board inasmuch
as the board voted Gary out when its
district representative was absent.
If Garv authorities did not receive =
notification OF the illegality Of the
! practice i is deemed the board took
very unfair advantage of the steel CITY
in forcing them to quit athletics until
next September, thereby throwing them
out OF basketball. track and baseball,

| board should hy all means reconsider
it's action and hear Gary's side Of the
argument.

OAR PLANS
IMPROVEMENTS

1t is understood that the county com
missioners of this county are making
plans for the erection of road intersec-
ton signs at various points in the
county where confusion Is likely to re-
suit in regard to roaGs leading 10 the
various cities.
The signs will not only contain an
arrow indicating the direction TO take.
but will also give the mileage. These
signs will be bolted on to boards at
tached TO posts set in concrete and
every effort will be made to insure a
serviceable and permanent marker on
the more important highways
This is right along the line on which
the Automobile club of East Chicago
has been working for the past year.
This organization already has on hand
n quantity of signs indicating roads to
East Chicago and these signs have been
placed at the service OF the county to
mark all roads leading into this city.
