CANNOT SMOTHER
INQUIRY


The Banquo's ghost of the opening
days of Congress after the holiday
recess will be the Wood resolution
calling for an investigation of the
leak of the Presidents peace note,
by means of which so many small
investors in the stock market were
ruined and a few big men" made
millions.
Congress adjourned with the ma
jority leaders in a contemptuous mood
toward the Wood resolution. They
thought they could easily smother il
in committee. But now they know
better. They may still attempt to
smother the inquiry, but they will
have to listen to some very plain talk
on the floor of the house before that
is done. In the present instance
Washington gossip is much more ex-
plicit than usual, and names are men
toned with larger freedom than IS
generally the ease when high official
dom is thought to have put one
over" There are o many wounded
small investors among the constitu-
encies Of the representatives who
will not follow the advice which the
late Senator Quay once gave TO an
aggrieyed henchman to suffer in
silence" They are being heard from
and the tenor of their demand is to
find out who leaked.
For more than six months there
have been ugly rumors ahoat IN
Washington to the effect that a few
persons who can pretend to al OPP
%portunity of intimacy with the Presi-
dent have been heavily in the mar
ket"; that their takings of profits
have been far from negligible, and
that their operations IN the board
have been aided no little by advance
information which they have been
able to secure regarding the purposes
of the administration
So long as the market was headed
upward and everyone was getting his
bit of the profits, there was no incli-
nation on the part of anyone. except
a few stern moralists, to interfere.
With cynical good humor the invest
ing public shrugged its shoulders
when these sinister suggestions were
broached-and turned to the latest
quotations.
But now the wounded birds are
futtering in every financial dove-cote
and their cooling has changed to an
anguished wall. If two or three
hundred thousand small investors all
over the country. who have lost money
in the recent peace panic" can make
themselves heard-and, as Mr.. Will
son would say. they are especially
vocal" just nowhere will be no
sitting of the resolution to inyesti-
gate the leak"

FOOD CONTROL MEASURE
APPROVED BY COMMITTEE
Bill Provides for Guaranteed
Minimum Price to ProduC-
erS of PeriShabIeS

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE second
administration food control bill. grant
ing broad powers to the president, was
agreed TO by the house agricultural
committee today by a vote of IL to 3
and immediate report to the house was
authorized
Chairman Lever expects it to pass
with less than two weeks debate. The
first bill is to stimulate production of
food; the second is to control distri-
button and price.
The bill provides a guaranteed mini
mum price to producers of. non-perish-
able agricultural products under regu-
latiOns to be prescribed by the presi-
dent. The committee dropped the plan
for maximum price fixing on the ground
that il was unnecessary. A good deal
OF opposition was expressed to II.
COincident with the taking up of the
bill in the house today it was announced
that President Wilson would receive
this afternoon several representatives of
the labor organizations led by Samuel
GOmpers and several members of con-
gress. who will present the consumers
side of the question and will ask that
action be speeded up in the house so as
to give Herbert Hoover immediate pow
err The bill will probably be brought
in the house by Chairman Lever tomor-
row. An effort will be made to make it
law by July 1.
Besides authorizing the president to
name a food administrator. the bill
makes it unlawful for any person to
destroy food for the purpose of keeping
up prices and gives the executive power
10 control food manufacture.
Wilful boarding or destruction of ne
cessities is made a crime punishable by
two years Imprisonment.
The president is authorized to seize
and have governmentally operated any
factory, mine or other plant deemed
necessary; to regulate boards of trade
and price-fxing institutions; to fix mini
mum prices for agricultural products; 20
regulate, prohibit or reduce the manu-
facture. storage or distribution of any
foods necessary to carry into effect leg
islatiOn for conserving the food supply
during the war.
In the discretion Of the president per-
sons may be prohibited from engaging
in the business of handling foodstuff :
without a license.
The measure does not apply to the
producer or the retail seller.
The committee struck from the bill
all reference TO maximum price, but au-
thOrized the government to guarantee a
minimum price whenever the president
deems this necessary to insure produc-
ton.
An appropriation of $3.50. 100000 is au-
thorized for carrying out this guarantee
and for other purposes under the pro-
posed legislation.
The committee added fuel to the list
of commodities which. at the presidents
discretion, may be sold only by licensed
Dealers

TRAITOR OR SPY IN NAVY
IS OPINION OF DANIELS
Secretay'S Charge Followed
Senator's Presentation of
Private Reports

WASHINGTON, June 11-That
spy or a traitor to the government is
operating in the navy department or
the proving grounds at Indian Head,
was the declaration of Secretary Dan
iels before the senate naval affairs COM
mittee today.
Mr.. Daniels charge developed when
Senator Frelinghuysen, New Jersey,
presented copies of confidential reports
bearing on ordnance. which he said
had been sent him in an anonymous let
ter. The reports were designed to sub
stantiate charges of laxity which re-
suited in the accidents aboard the
American liners Mongolia and st. Louis
during gun practice.
The postmark on the letter, according
to Freylinghuysen, was Detroit, Mich.
Efforts to determine the identity of the
sender of the letter, which contained, &C
cording to Daniels, secret information
on ordnance and ammunition, stolen
from the files of the department have
proved unavailing, it was declared
The writer supplemented his reports,
Freylinghuysen said, with grave
charges as to defective ammunition, etc.
Daniels declared that the revelation
plainly showed spy OF traitor HuSl
be at work somewhere in the naval es-
adjustment and that 'he should be APP
pretended and sent to the penitentiary."
Frelinghuysen FASTENED to assure the
committee he was not endeavoring to
get information from spies or traitors,
that he had made every effort to estab
lish the identity of the author of the
letter and that elf there is spy In the
navy department he should be appre-
hended and dealt with accordingly"
The sensational revelation came dur
ing the second hearing held by the SEN
ate committee named to investigate &C
cidents thought to be due to defective
ammunition aboard the Mongolia and st.
Louis.
Daniels declared upon inquiry from
Phelan that his resentment" at the
disclosure was based entirely upon the
fact that some one having access to
confidential government files was abus-
ing the privilege. He later admitted
that the man might possibly be acting
in good faith in an effort to disclose
unsatisfactory conditions.
The committee then went into execu-
tive session to study the anonymous re-
ports, some of which are true and some
false" Daniels said.

dent, Better Monday

Edward B. Overton, the Mobile stu
dent officer and former Alabama foot
ball and baseball star, who was seri-
ously injured in a street car accident

at the ankle and his body was bruised
Despite these injuries, he rallied Mon
day and was said to be more than
holding his own His splendid physique
and the training to which he has been
subjected since entering the camp, were
largely responsible for his remarkable
endurance of pain.
The other soldiers on the street car
were not badly hurt. None Of them are
confined to the post hospital, where
Overton is under the care of army sur
geons.
O. B. Copeland, the motorman of the
wrecked car, is at the Atlanta hospital,
where it was stated he is resting east
