EXPLANATION OF LEAK
NOT CONVINCING TO G. 0. P
Democrats Anxious TO End Inquiry, but
Republicans Seek "Higher-Ups"

Washington, Feb. In spite of a
strong sentiment among some Demo-
cratic members of the leak investiga-
ton committee in favor of bringing the
inquiry to close Friday or Saturday,
Republican committeeman declared to-
night that they had just begun to In
vestigate."
Until it is proved beyond all doubt
that the alleged leak originated with
the two Washington newspaper men,
j. Fred Essary and W. W. Price, who
have admitted they sent out warning
messages on the peace note, the Re
publicans say that they will not agree
to terminate the inquiry. One Re
publican said tonight that he believed
several Democrats would JOIN in fore
ing continuance of the investigation.
The Republicans insist that some one
higher up" must have furnished the
information in the first place.
1--WE have found the conduits of the
information, but we must not stop
until we have found the source" said
Representative Campbell, of Kansas,
ranking Republican member of the
committee.
Every indication tonight was that
Sherman L. Whipple, counsel for the
committee, was planning TO close his
case. He began to-day examining State
Department employees who aided in the
transmission of the note, and is said
to plan calling all the newspaper men
to whom Secretary Lansing confided
that a note was coming and employees
of the Government Printing Office.
Other newspaper men and Mrs. Ruth
Thomson Visconti also will be called,
but the committee is not convinced that
any of them will give valuable testi-
mOny.

Whitman Approves
State Police Bill;
Its Passage Likely
Present Situation Shows Need
of Such a Force, Gov
ernOr Says
10y Telegraph 10 The Tribune. J

Albany, Feb. 7.-Governor Whitman
came out to-day in favor of the Mills
bill creating state police force. Lit.
tie doubt is expressed that it will pass
both houses Of the Legislature. The
Senate Finance Committee will give it a
hearing next Tuesday and probably will
report the bill favorably a week from
to-day.
81 have received several kilograms,
said the Governor, asking me to send
ar emergency message to the Legisla-
ture certifying to the necessity for the
immediate passage of the state police
bill. | hardly think need go that far.
I am heartily in favor of the BILL and
think it will pass at this session.
81 think the present situation en-
phasizes the need and value of the es-
adjustment of a state police force. It
will make it measurably easier TO re-
cruit men for the National Guard if
that body is relieved of the police du-
ties now imposed on it. And the state
police would be an effective force TO
fall back upon when the militia is
wanted for other purposes"

on different schemes regulated by
numerical strength, duration OF train

the colors or in the reserve or both,
character of equipm cnt, extent and
nature Of instruction, and. finally, the
purpose for which force is desired.
These are factors that must be deter

The General Staff has outlined sew

conditions. These will be examined
by the President, and the finally APP
proved project will be amended by
the General staff experts in accord

House.
While the War Department authori-
ties are profoundly interested in the
pending Chamberlain bill for univer-

Administration project, nor does it
have entirely the approval OF the

a former General Staff officer, Captain
George V. II. Moseley.

Army Lays Plans
to Get Machine
Guns in a Hurry
Must Use Various Types with
British Ammunition if
Need Arises
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Feb. THE military
authorities have perfected plan for
obtaining machine guns in quantity, if
there is necessity for an emergency
supply. An order has been placed for
about 1900 of the Vickers type, which
will be manufactured by the Colt COM
pany. in Connecticut. About 400 Lewis
machine rifles, which use the British
ammunition, have also been purchased.
These were sent to Texas at the time
the punitive expedition was dispatched
to Mexico. It is now intended to pur-
chase Lewis guns that are built by
the Savage Arms Company, at Utica, N.
Y, 10 use American ammunition.
The number Of Vickers rifles which
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-02-08

will ultimately be predicted is con-
sidered sufficient for the army and Ma
tional Guard needs.
The special board which has been
investigating this problem has made
the following recommendation SHOULD
this country become suddenly engaged
in war in the near future, the board
recommends the purchase of all Wick
ers machine rifles that the Colt COM
pany, all Lewis rifles that the Savage
Arms Company and all Colt rifles that
the Marlin Arms Corporation can make
until the total quantity required is
procured"
Arrangements have been made by the
Marine Corps officials for reserve
supply of small arms ammunition. This
will be obtained from the army by
transfer of funds. This reserve supply
will amount to about 10000 900 rounds.
Contracts have been made for the de-
livery of armored motor cars.

Financial Houses and
Banks Employ Extra
Guards, However
SECRETS GUARDED
FROM TEUTON SPIES
Guaranty Trust Lay-Off
Done to Protect Govern
ment, Chiefs Say

There viii! be no general retirement
of German citizens employed in Wall
Street banking houses. The example
of the Guaranty Trust Company, which
has temporarily suspended on full pay
all such employees, will not be followed
by single big bank, it was said yes
terday.
Heads of the most important fnan-
cial institutions of the Street made
this statement, in spite of the fact that
there were admitted ito have been
cases where German sympathizers had
made use of information obtained as
employees of banks to aid the Father
land.
The German clerk in the foreign de-
partment Of the National City Bank
who was found to have appropriated
papers and turned them over TO Paul
Koenig, then charged with leading
German plottcrs here, was cited as an
evidence of the uses 20 which informa-
tio1 of military value was being OBJ
tanned.
Banks Take Precautions
All of the banks have adopted pre-
cautionary measures TO prevent re-
currence of this incident, however
Since the diplomatic break with Ger
many guards have been placed about
the parks, both inside and out, They
are on duty night and day. This, It
was said, is but one of the means OF
preventing any move that might even
embarrass the institutions from which
tho government must draw for cash
The Guaranty Trust Company issued
this explanatory statement of its &C
ton concerning German employees:
"The Guaranty Trust Company OF
| New York feels that because of the
international character of its business
and because of the recent break in
diplomatic relations with Germany, for
the present, at least, it should not
have in its employ subjects of the
German government. and, therefore
such employees az are German citizens
have been suspended temporarily on
full pay.
Action for PrecautiOn
"This action has been taken as a
matter of protection to the men them
selves. as we'll as to the company and
its customers, and. if no further com
plications arise, IL is not at all I'M
likely that they will all be back at
their desks again in the near future.
The company feels that in times like
the present every American should
take wise precautions so that there
NAV be no opportunity for our gov
eminent to be embarrassed in any way
by knowledge which subjects Of an
other government might be able to
obtain regarding international opera
tons"
Reports that Charles H. Sabin, pres
ident of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany, was now in London to negotiate
a s5O,00000 contract for the pur-
chase of war supplies were declared
to be without foundation.
"Mr. Sabin's trip to Europe" said
the company's statement, "has nothing
to do with foreign contracts nor with
international business deals Of any
kind"

TWO NAVAL BASES
ON PACIFIC URGED
BOARD of Officers Report
TO Congress Approved
by the President
ADVERTISEMENT

Warrington, Feb. Establishment OF
nav naval base on San Francisco Bay
IA development of the Puget Sound
Navy Yard As a base were recon-
rspded to-day by the Board of Navy
oSesrs which made a special study OF
10 situation. Their report urges I'M
mediate appropriations of S1,5oO,ooo
iOr the acquisition of site on San
francisco Bay, s2,25O,OOO for further
development Of the Mare Island yard
for building purposes and S2,500,oOO
for the development of Puget Sound.
The boards report went TO Congress
today with the approval of the Presi-
dent. IL says an urgent necessity ex-
iss for a new yard of sufficient size
and equipment to accommodate the
entire Pacific fleet. Proposed sites at
San Diego. Los Angeles and at the
mouth of the Columbia River are spe-
cifcslly rejected, and the board con-
cludes that the Mare Island yard, on
upper San Francisco Bay, while va!ua-
bic for industrial purposes, cannot be
developed into fleet base.
Four Sites Examined
Four sites on San Francisco Bay
have been examined. those at Hunters
Point, Alameda, Goat Island and Rich
mond-Albany. The board reserves
Judgment as TO which is preferable,
but is insistent that an appropriation
be made promptly for purchase of the
one finally decided upon.
The report outlines nine military or
economic detectives sought in deter
mining the best site for a new yard on
the Pacific. These include harbor ia
eilities and accessibility for heavy
draft vessels, security from land or
sea attack, rail communication, char
Scter of ground, proximity of labor
and supply centres, and climatic and
fresh water conditions. San Francisco
Bay was found test suited to meet all
d these requirements.
Naval facilities on he west coast,
.he board declared, should be at least
trsbled without delay. The report
pointed out that strategic reasons re-
quire st least two first class yards
there.
Mare Island for Small Craft
The present Mare Island yard could
not be made suitable for handling YES
sells Of the largest size now planned,
in the opinion Of the board, but should
be developed to handle craft of not
mere than 3O-foot draft and be re-
garded hereafter as building, repair
and supply station.
"The Puget Sound Navy Yard" says
the report, sis we'll located stategically
and admirably adapted, through physi-
cal characteristics and defensibility, as
base of operations for the fleet and
iOi local naval defence Of the Puget
Sound and Northwestern coast region
Of the United States. 1t should also
be developed 10 a reasonable extent as
ghipbuilding yard"
Rear Admiral Helm is head Of the
board, which spent several weeks in
speeting yards and proposed sites.
