New York, Feb when the con-

adjourned today to meet in Washing
ton, the testimony of f A Connolly,
the Washington broker, regarding his
sending a resume OF President VIII
sons peace note, to e F Hutton, New
York broker, had been disputed by
every telegraph operator in Hutton's
employ who, Sherman l. Whlpple
said might have handled Connolly's

nounced today. George A Ellis OF p
f Hutton & Company, who wrote the
massage warning brokers Of the com
ing OF President Wilson's peace note,
probably will be the first witness.
w f Packard, telegraph operator
of the Hutton firm, the first witness
today, began his testimony at vol
untary attempt to discredit the tes-
tomony of J W Becker, another OPP
orator employed by the Hutton COM
pany. Packard said II would be "rf-
diculous" for operators to say he did
or did not receive a message in De-
cember. Packard admitted that he
overheard f F Hutton advancing this
argument to Becker in his office this
morning.

Lessee and Lessor Have Same
Right Is Holding of High
Court For Second Time

Oklahoma City, Feb 2-The prin-
ciple of the surrender clause in oil
leases was applied by the Supreme
Court again in the case of the East
ern Oil Company VS. Joseph w Beat
ty, from the Tulsa county district
court, in which the lower court is
sustained. A lease was drawn in
which 1t was stipulated that well
should be drilled within ninety days
or pay 500 a quarter In advance for
every additional quarter that COM
pletion was delayed.
The leassee was given the right to
remove the machinery at any time
and on three months notice could
cancel the lease. 1t was shown that
the leassee failed to drill a we'll with

money was pad six consecutive quar-

drill an offset well to protect the

MARKING TIME IN
SUBMARINE CRISIS
SECRETARY LANSING UN-
PREP AIRED TO DISCLOSE
MOVES OF THIS Gov
ERNMENT AS YET


Associated Press,
Washington, Feb 2-The new sub
marine crisis seems to have resolved
itself into another day of waiting.
Tonight or tomorrow the American
people may know what course their
government has decided upon to an
swer Germany's declaration of unre-
stricted submarine warfare.
President Wilson and the limited
few who know his plans cor'inued
their silence today, but it was expect
ed that this afternoon the cabinet
would be informed of what steps
have been taken or are proposed
On every hand officials are con-
vinced that nothing less than break
in diplomatic relations is the ulti-
matum. 1t may be delayed but they
all expect it to come unless there is
some wholly unexpected develop
ment in the situation.
Secretary Lansing authorized the
statement today that so far no com
munication had been sent to Ger
many. The secretary refused to say
whether any instructions had been
sent to Ambassador Gerard and de-
clined to make any statement for the
delay in announcing the course oil
the United States.
Secretary Lansing said he was un-
prepared to disclose whether any an
nouncement would be made today
No Change in Situation
Up to the time the cabinet as
sembled this afternoon there had
been no outward change in the sub
marine crisis. The majority of the
members came to the White House
uninformed OF President Wilson
plans.
