mors that somebody made money in
the stock market with leak" informa-
ton about the sending of President

sensational session of the house rules
committee on Friday, when it's first
hearing on Representative Woods res
olution for investigation was held.
Specifically declaring he made charges
against no one and was presenting
only information that had come to him.
Wood brought in the names of Sec

sage brokers'; w. E. f. Hutton & Co.,
New York brokers; f. A. Connolly &
Co., a Washington brokerage house in

BIG VICTORY FOR THE DRYS
Webb Kenyon Law Held Valid by Su-
preme Court-Bars Shipments of
Liquor Into Prohibition States.

Washington, Jan. 10.-In the broad
est possible manner the Supreme
court on Monday upheld the constitu-
tionality and effectiveness of the Webb
Kenyon law.
The decision divests Intoxicating
liquors of all interstate commerce,
characteristics when bound for dry
state in violation of state laws.
1t makes it possible to bar from dry
states liquor which has heretofore
been taken in safety under the guise
of Interstate commerce" and under
the consequence protection of the fed
eral government.
The court in a decision rendered by
Chief Justice White held the West
Virginia dry law, in conjunction with
the Webb Kenyon law, would operate
to prevent the shipments into West Vir-
ginia of all liquors violating the state
law.
The court sustained lower court de-
cisions which refused to force the
Western Maryland Railroad company
and express companies to accept
liquors in Maryland for shipment into
West Virginia.

SUSPECT ENDS LIFE
DEATH ENDS SEARCH FOR
FRIEND OF SLAIN MODEL
officers Are Waiting to Ar
rest Him.

Philadelphia, Jan. 6.-Bernard w.
Lewis, the young Pittsburgh million
aire who was being sought on a charge
collateral with the murder of Maize
Colbert, the model, committed suicide
on Thursday at Atlantic City.
Lewis, traced to the very threshold
of his suite by detectives, delayed their
admittance with conversation. He shot
himself with .22-caliber rifle just as
the doors were battered down.
The bullet entered the temple and
death was instantaneous. That Lewis
anticipated arrest and made prepara-
lions to kill himself is indicated by
the fact that the rifle was new.
Although the detectives do not
charge Lewis with the murder. they
declare that his was the collar found
in the beautiful models rooms. A
woman, who saw Lewis Friday night,
identified it, they assert, by spot and
the fact that it was slightly wilted in
front.
Lewis was thirty-seven years old, a
Yale graduate of 1901 and member of
the Union, Pittsburgh, Country, Oak
mont and Pittsburgh Automobile clubs.
He was married but had been es-
tranged from his wife since last No
vember.

fused Was Not Converted to Use
Requested by Citizens.

Mayor Thayer and the Ripon CONNER
cial club, wants congress to know that
this city expects to receive the $4,000
once appropriated for federal build
ing here and later relinquished, or to
have it used as Ripon asked.
Representative in congress are to
be petitioned in protest against the &C
ton of congress in returning Ripon's
$4,000 to the national treasury. At
the time this city refused the money
for a federal building, it was supposed
to be understood that this sum was to
be diverted from it's original purpose
only to help swell the national defense
fund.
The Riponites who signed this petit
ton asked congress preferably to give
this sum to the aviation service. The
money was not used for the defense
fund, and Ripon wants a federal
building. So resolutions have been
adopted protesting against public
statement made on. the floor of the
house by a member thereof to the eff
feet that the people of Ripon had
shown that they needed no public
building"

0. KS PEACE POLICY
SENATE ENDORSES PRESIDENT
WILSON'S NOTE.
Senator Lewis Declares U. S. Will Be
Drawn Into War Ii Conflict
Continues.

Washington, Jan. S.-Senator Jones'
substitute for the Hitchcock resolution
indorsing President Wilson's peace
note, which approves the request for
peace terms without indorsing the note
itself, was passed on Friday by the
senate.
The vote was 4S to II. Progressive
Republican senators voted solidly with
the Democrats for the substitute.
Speaking in the senate in support of
the Hitchcock resolution to indorse
President Wilson's peace note, Senator
the European war could not continue
without the United States becoming
involved in it.
Senator Lewis said that the temper
of the American people would brook
no apology or excuse for further de-
struction of American life, but would
resent and punish to the full extent of
Americas power"
THE very debate in opposition to
this resolution" Senator Lewis said,
''has donc more injury to the cause of
peace to which President Wilson has
sought to give impulse and force than
any other form of opposition that has
arisen from any other source in all the
United States.
."The opposition to this resolution
also will be construed abroad as an
indication on the part of this body as
an expression of such partially for
one belligerent against the others that
we are content to continue the war
merely for the object that it would
beat down to destruction one of those
belligerents and exalt the other to ex-
ultant victory.
