ANOTHER LEAK FOUND.
1t Was On War Contracts Held by ]. p.
Morgan & Co.

New York, Jan. 23.-Testimony wa
introduced late yesterday at the trial o
William j. Burns, detective, and Mar
tin Egan, publicity manager for J. P
Morgan & CO., charged with publishing
private letters relating to war contracts
taken from the offices of Seymour &
Seymour, patent attorneys, to substan
tiate charges that "inside" information
of the Morgan firms business with the
French and British governments had
reached the German embassy at Wash.
| ington.
A brief fled on behalf of Burns and
Egan involved Washington lawyer, who
was characterized as a friend of Count
Won Bernstorff, German ambassador, and
who later in the trial was said to be
John Clifton.
Clftons name was drawn into the
case through question put to Frederick
Seymour, the first witness, inquiring if
he was familiar with certain testimony
previously given by Burns admitting
Burns had entered the Offices of Seymour
& Seymour.
Objection was made to the question,
whereupon Delaney Nicoll, counsel for
Burns and Egan argued that the ques
tion should be admitted on the ground
that there had been a conspiracy started
in September 1915, when an employe
OF Morgan & Co. got in touch with John
Clifton, a Washington lawyer" who he
asserted was IAN attorney for Count Won
Bernstorff."
In this way Mr.. Nicoll alleged infor

tracts was sent to Seymour 4 Seymour

Mr.. Nicoll declared that when the Nor
gan firm discovered there was leak,
Burns was employed and followed the
trail to the offices of Seymour g. Sey-
mour. He said:
"The statutes have not been broken.
rhey are made for protection of the in
nocent, not for the protection OF the
guilty"
Samuel Paul, a witness for the de-
tense, testified that he had been en-
ployed as private secretary by the
Morgan firm and had access to many |
able messages concerning munitions |
supplies for the French government.
He testified he had been introduced to
clifton by J. S. Huff, fellow employe, !
i hotel in this city. He declared he
,ffered to supply Clifton with informa.
ion that would enable munitions manu-
acturers and contractors to obtain con.
racts.
Paul testified there was to be an un-
regarding an equitable di-
ision of the profits" and that Clifton
ad introduced him to Carlos Moore. II
tas through Moore, Paul asserted, that
ater transactions with men in the office

States received the note from Minister
Balfour, of the British foreign Office. sup

as an open message to the world of the

Til word had been received from the dip
lomats abroad that the copy had been re
ceived did President Wilson arrange to
make his address to the Senate.
There is nothing in the address or in
the instructions accompanying its pres
entation that win of itself necessitate
an answer, according to the administra-
ton view, but some response neyerthe-
less is expected from both groups Of bel
ligerents. Confidential information that
the entente reply to President Wilson
had convinced Germany that another step
by her would be unwse, convinced Amer
lean officials that, unless the United
States gave further opening, the whole
peace movement would come to an end.
The address to the Senate was taken as
a possible means Of avoiding that re-
suit.
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing anticipate the present move will pro-
woke Indignation in the foreign press,
much as WIS the case with the presi-
dents original note of December l8
They feel that in statement OF position
as full as the presidents, both sides may
feel they have been unjustly attacked
and as a result they look for bitter out
burst in the more violent press. No at
tempt is made TO conceal the fact that

critical or unfriendly, may come from
both sides.

WHAT one SOCIALIST IS DOING
(FrOm the Mesaba Ore.)

70 protect the Michigan street food
hog in it's hold on the foodstuffs bust
ness of the Zenith city there have
been passed all kinds of laws. One
provided for license fee Of ten dol
lars a day to the local farmer who
had produce to sell. and there are
other means for keeping the producer
away from the cOnsumer-all to the
cinch and profit of the Hog.
A socialist was recently elected to
membership on the Duluth city coun-
Gil, and he has introduced a resolu-
ton that will reduce the farmers
license fee from $50 a week to 81,
and the people Of Duluth really begin
to see a little daylight in the swamp.
The Michigan street Hog refused to
buy of the local farmer, except at
prices that left nothing for the pro-
ducer, and the farmer, because Of the
laws. could not peddle his produce
from house to house. He was sewed
up. The Michigan street plan was to
contract with remote farmers who
had to ship their produce in by rail,
and then tho Hog could condemn as
much OF the shipment as suited his
stand for it. no matter IL he received
only half pay for full shipment.
The Michigan street Hog also had
cinch on the retailers of the range
towns. IT 1t were known that the
range merchants bought produce from
the local farmers they were advised
to "cut it out" on the threat that
their credit would be denied and that
they would not be furnished with the
other merchandise necessary to carry
on their business.
