I'VE simply had to prove to the men

better that few died in this way than
that many die later.

BELIEVE leak Came
SEVERAL DAYS EARLIER
Probers Will Shift Hearings to New
York Thursday.

The Congressional Leak Committee
explored yesterday the myriad byways
into which the investigation of how Presi-
dent Wilson's December peace note leak
ed TO the financial centers of the coun-
try has led them. Out Of the days reVe-
lations, there has developed among mem
bers OF the committee strong benef
that the real leak came not on Decem-
Der 20. as heretofore supposed, but seVe-
raj days previous to this.
George A. Ellis, partner in the New
York firm of Hutton & CO., occupied the
stand the major part Of the day. he was
questioned repeatedly and in many dit-
ferent ways whether his firm had infor-
nation of the Presidents note on De-
cember IS: whether they had not con-
cealed It until the 2Oth, and whether they
had not cleaned up more than S,oooOoO
by selling short stocks which they held
for customers. Ellis denied 1t emphatic
ally, and offered to lay his books before
the committee.
A humorous angle was developed-that

INAUGURAL PLANS
MAY BE MODIFIED
International Crisis Creates Sentiment
to Eliminate Certain Features.

Rumors said to emanate from the White
House were in circulation last night to
the effect that the plans for the inaugur-
alton are to be curtailed to a large de-
gree
President Wilson is said to feel that
such a curtailment is called for by the
existing International situation. Col.
Robert n. Harper. chairman of the In
augural Committee, made vigorous denial
last night that any such word had been
communicated to him.
The growing alarm over bomb plots is
said to have Influenced administration
officials in favoring a restricted inaugural
which will not draw cranks and fanatics
to the city.
Since this country is drifting nearer
the verge of actual warfare, Col. Harper
declared yesterday afternoon that he is
not at all worried as to the success of
the inauguration. even II the United
States should be at war with Germany
at that time.
He said that In this event the inausura-
ton would just be the thing, maintain
ing that the thousands of persons who
win flock to this city March 5 could turn
the Inauguration into a great demonstra-
ton of patriotism and show the Presi-
dent by their presence that they mean TO
support him.
Vance NJ. Mccormick, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, Is ex-
pected to arrive in Washington today.
He will confer with Col Harper con-
cerning inaugural arrangements. Yes
terday Col. Harper conferred with Henry
Morgenthau, treasurer of the National
Committee.
without debate the Senate yesterday
passed the House Joint resolution giving
the District Commissioners authority to
grant permits to the Inaugural Commit
tee to use government reservations along
the line of parade for the erection OF
stands.

From a hidden point OF vantage
