Sues the Brewery

On the same day that Margaret
Huddleston filed suit for $1,000
against Isaac Grossman and lsador
Goldstein, proprietors of saloon at
Sixteenth and California streets, al
leging that they induced her husband
to spend all his earnings for liquor,
her husband, Riley Huddleston, filed
a petition with the clerk of the dis
trict court asking $4,000 from the
Willow Springs brewery.
The husband sets forth that prior
to July 2, 1916, he was plumber and
steam filter at the brewery operated
by the Standard Distilling and Dis
tributing company. While removing
certain attachments connected with
"blow-of" cock he alleges he was
severely burned and scalded. Hud-
dleston asserts he was permanently
injured and the sight of one of his
eyes partially destroyed.

| said Wood.
"Of course you have no information
as to what they talked about"
mo, ! have not"
Referring to the inclusion in hi!
resolution OF reference to Thomas w
Lawson's telegram, limiting that mem
bers OF congress sought to dodge ar
inquiry Representative Garrett asked
if Wood had any information in any
way indicating that members of thu
house were involved in the leak
transactions.
House Members Not Involved.
~ have no information whatever in
volving the name OF any member o.
the house Wood replied. Il know o.
no member Of the house being mixed
up in this stock crash"
81 understood you to say that firm
in Washington known as Connolly &
Co. prohted by alleged transactions,
Representative Garrett continued
Gan you state where you got thai
information"
mo more than that it was com
mon rumor."
rs there any one you know who
might be subpoenaed in this connec'
tion?" I
mo one except Hutton & Co."
In response to further questioning
Wood said he understood Hutton &
Co. were the New York representa-.
tives Of Connolly & Co.
Wood said he had not consulted
Secretary Lansing regarding a re.
ported leak Of the presidents note
either before or after he introduced
his resolution. Mr.. Wood also sale
he had other information and had sem
number of letters and kilograms to
various persons inquiring about it.
Representative Harrison of Missis
sippi suggested that the witnes.
should give dates of publication o.
the note and other details,
Mr.. Wood replied that the crash If
the stock market came, or rather cul
minated on Thursday, December p
and that the peace message had beer
released for publication by the As
ISOLATED Press at l2:05 o'clock thai
morning for morning papers OF thai
day. - 49,
May Have Come from Berlin.
Representative Harrison tried te
bring out that in the forty-eight hours
between the time the peace note wa:
forwarded and published, information
regarding it could have come bach
from the foreign powers to some o.
the embassies here. Mr.. Wood sale
be had heard some intimation to tina,
effect, but could not say who tolt
him. He also said he had heard ar
intimation that the German embass,
in this country had gotten that infor'
nation back here.
Mr.. Harrison referred to Secretary
Lansing's conference with newspaper
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1917-01-06

men on the morning OF December 20,
and suggested that at the conference
there were representatives OF the Wall
Street Journal and Financial America
present at that conference and that
their duties we're to get all tips that
would affect the stock market. He
added that these journals are main
tanned by stock brokers" and sug-
gested it might have been that those
financial reporters sent kilograms to
their Offices and that that was the
way the information got out.
! Mr.. Wood replied he did not know
about that, and all he had heard was
that Secretary Lansing told those at
the conference that there might be
some important information later.
Mr.. Wood denied that he had any
conference with administration Off
Gals before introducing the resolu-
ton, although he had talked about
it with some congressman.
| Representative Garrett insisted on
knowing what was the exact charge
back of the resolution.
Mr.. Wood replied that the rumor
was current that there was a leak
in the State department or in some
administrative office as to the sending
of the note and that the leak went
to the friends of the administration,
and that, acting on that information,
they profited by it." He added that
he had no information as to how the
leak occurred or from whom it came,
and that the best he had was
rumors.
Il have no names other than those
have already given" he added.
Curtis Letter Produced.
Representative Wood later pro-
duced the letter he received from Cur
It's and it contained no address. II
was written on plain paper, which
contained no fetterhead. 1t was dated
New York" and simply signed "A.
Curtis" In the upper left-hand cor
ner, noted in pencil, was the memoir
andum, Wall Street Broker"
Shortly before the committee ex-
cused Curtis and went into executive
session, Chairman Henry, Wood and
various members of the committee en-
gagged in a heated exchange over
bringing Secretary Tumulty's name
into the proceedings without con-
sulting him.

Henry inquired, "that Mr.. Tumulty

phatically. II do not charge that any
one profted by it. | am merely tell,
ing you what has been told me-"
Don't you think" Mr.. Henry con-
tinued, that it would have been bet
ter for you to have submitted these
reports to Mr.. Tumulty before coming
here and giving them out publicly"
THAT is the very reason | wanted

to submit these rumors in private
session." replied Mr.. Wood. Il do
not know Mr.. Tumulty and, therefore,
| did not want to go to him. He
might have been offended at me, a
stranger, approaching him in that
way"
Representative Chiperheld of Hi
nois objected at this point to Henry's
line OF questioning and a general
wrangle, which resulted in Henry
ceasing to interrogate, followed.
Baruch Demo Contributor.
Representative Chiperheld then
asked Mr.. Wood if Baruch was a
contributor ito the democratic CAM
paign fund.
81 am informed" Wood said, that
he contributed $4,000 to the demo-
cratic national committee"
Again wrangling broke out afresh.
Democrats objected and republicans
contended that Baruch's contribution
was a very material fact in the in
vestigation.
as there any effort on the part Of
anyone pressing this investigation to
retard the efforts of the president to
bring about peace?" demanded Chair
man Henry.
Not that | know Of" Wood re-
piled.
Curtis Denies Letter.
New York, Jan. 5.-The only "A.
Curtis" known to the New York stock
exchange as broker is Allen Cur
It's of the firm of Curtis & Sanger
of New York and Boston, members
of the exchange. When inquiry was
made today as to whether Mr.. Curtis
was the broker referred to by Rep
resentative Wood the firm got in
touch by wire with Mr.. Curtis in
Boston, who replied as follows:
Mistaken identity. | never wrote
anyone"
No other broker by that name
seemed to be known in the financial
community, although it was thought
possible he might be a curb broker,
or an Independent operator.
ne nnanClal community was uctply
interested in the testimony before the
rules committee. Officials of the
stock exchange said, however, they
saw no reason to take official cog
nizance of the alleged operations
referred to. At the Office of E. F.
Hutton & Co. it was stated by rep
resentative of the firm that nothing
is known o: transactions.
Bernard Baruch is said to be at
his hunting lodge in South Carolina
and his associates at his Office dec
clined to make a statement.
