'WHITEWASH BY
LEAK HUNTERS.
They Adopt Report That No
Real Advance News Was
Furnished.
CONFIDENCE NOT BROKEN
Tip Cleaned From Lansings
Remark on Dec. 20-COn-
molly Censured.

WAsHINdroS. Feb. 2l.--No leak of a
SUBSTANTIAL character preceded the publ
cation OF President Wilson's note TO the
belllgerent Powers last December.
The only advance information which
might have Influenced the market came
through generalzations and deductions
''sulting from Secretary Lansing's state
ment to newspaper men on the morning
of December 20. in which Mr.. Lansing
expressly stated that the note TO be given
out for publication the following MORN
iEg was not peace note"
No Government officials. and none OF
;he persons named by Thomas W. Law
son. We're concerned in or profited by ad-
vance information on the note.
These are the conclusions drawn by the
Rules Committee of the House from the
tacts brought out in their investigation
of the alleged leak. They are embodied
in a report on which the committee to-
day agreed una animously and which prob
ably will be given out Saturday. The
report IL being held up pending the wind
ing up of loose ends of Investigations into
brokers' records
The report contains no recommenda
tons and 10 severe structures against
amy of the men involved with the excep-
tlon OF FRANK A. connolly, presilent OF
the brokerage house from which the
most accurate digest OF the Wilson note
was sent to Hutton & Co. his New York
correspondents.
In the case Of Connolly the commit
tee points to the unexplained loss of one
Of the messages that Connolly admitted
he sent and to conflicting testimony from
Connolly and his telegraphers as to the
origin of the messages.
The report specifically states that no
evidence was found of any violation of
confidence on the part OF newspaper men
VINO heard Secretary Lansng's state
ment on the morning OF December 20
that these men divulged the meagre in
formation offered them BY the Secretary
to none outside tho newspaper profess
sion. and that newspaper men testified
unanimously before the committee that
they believed the acceptance by news
paper men Of employment by brokerage
houses anxious to obtain advance infor-
nation OF interest to the market is un-
ethical.
While making no recommendations as
TO the legislation regulating short sales
the report SHOWS clearly from the ar
rangement Of facts In this connection
that the committee believes some such
legislation should be enacted.
The report was prepared by the COM
mittee's counsel. Sherman l.. Whpple
and was presented to tho committee for
its consideration this afternoon. Af,er
several changes It was agreed to unan.-
mously.
