EXCHANGE HEAD
IN LEAK GRILL
Whipp|e Starts Hunt for Those
Who Profited by Tip on
Peace Note.
LAWSON IS NOT PRESENT
President OF New York Exchange
Called to Detail the work'nss>of
the Observation-Disclosures Out
lines His Plans.

New York, Jan. 24.-The "leak" in
vestlgation was, resumed by the house
rules committee at the customhouse
here, with H. G. S. Noble, president
J. Of the New York stock exchange, a.
I the first witness. 9s
Mr.. Noble was called, as explained
by Sherman l.. Whipple. counsel for
the committee, to detail the workings
of the stock exchange and to aid In
determining the possibility under Its
rules of engineering deals for large
profits" Mr.. Whipple made 1t plain
that extraneous matters, such as q
general investigation Of the stock ex'
change, will have no place in the in.
q1iry at present.
Thinly yelled threats of COMPRESSION
al action to- regulate the stock ex-
change and possibly prosecute mem
sbers alleged to have engaged in pools
to depress the value of securities; an
attack upon the theory OF short
sales" with the implied suggestion
that it might be a wise thing to put an
end to such practices and virtual de-
mand that the board Of governors or
the stock exchange request it's men,
bers to supply full records OF trNnsac-
lions from December 10 to %, with the
names of the clients involved, were
among the many surprises at the first
session here.
Stock exchange officials fought for
hours against granting the latter re-
quest. On the promise that the names
of clients would not be revealed unless
evidence of wrongdoing was discov-
cred, officials capitulated.
The investigations according to the
plan Mr.. Whipple outlined, will seek
to determine, first Of all, three things:
What were the activities on the ex-
change during the week of December
IS, when the leak" on President VIII
sons peace note Is said to have oc-
Cured, and the possibilities for caus-
ing losses?
Who are the brokers responsible for
the transactions during this period?
Who made the profits?
Second Phase Of Inquiry.
A second inquiry, Whipple said,
should extend both to profits and
losses.
"After ALL" he said. 1.-THE committee
may feel that 1t Is in d position where
1t intelligently may inquire about those
who profited, and II seems likely those
who profited may be those who OBJ.
tanned advance information"
The familiar fac9 OF Thomas w.
Lawson was missing.
Mr.. Noble first was asked to de-
scribe for the benefit Of the committee
the organization of the stock exchange,
the personnel ,of its management and
Its rules and regulations.
Mr.. Noble described in detail "the
activities of the market on the floor
of the exchange on a sample day." He
characterized the New York exchange
us "a great world Market" emphasize
ing that substantial proportion Of
its business came from abroad.

GRIFFITH TO FIND THAT STAR
MOVIE PLAY HAD TO DO WITH
MARJORIE DELBRIDGE CASE
What had the film show '1ntOler-
ance" to do with Marjorie DeIbridge
running away?
David WaTk Griffith, producer of
Intolerance" sent Judge Henry
Neil word that he is coming to Chi
cago Monday to find out. He wants
to learn if it is true that the film
prompted a girl. to take her future
destiny into her own hands in OppO-
sitiOn to what courts and self-ap-
pointed protectors had thought was
good for her.
Marjorie is said to have told Mrs.
Louis Brock, 1926 Cornell av., in
whose protection she was placed
after the court took her away from
the negro nanny who raised her,
that it was seeing Intolerance" that
prompted her to flee from what she
thought was the terrible clutch of
charity workers of the juvenile
court.
Griffith has asked Mrs. Brock to
talk the matter over with him.
Among those who will sit in with
Griffith and Mrs. Brock at the con-
ference will be Joel D. Hunter, chief
probation officer, and Judge Neil, ia
