Representative Gardner Produces Dispatch
From News Ticker Service Sent
Before Release Of Note
FINANCIAL WRITERS
AND EMBASSY PEOPLE
May Have Been Responsible for Break Of
Good Faith; Want President Wilson
and TumuIty Quizzed
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, Jan. Representative
Gardner, Of Massachusetts, supported
his emphatic charge regarding a
leak Of advance information to Wall
street from the Wilson peace note, by
reading today before the house com
mittee a dispatch which was sent out
by the Dow Jones news ticker service
shortly after o'clock on the afternoon
before the note was released for pub
lication.
Gardner made this declaration and
read copy Of the news ticker report
to the house rules committee when it
reconvened to probe the leak charges
Suspicion concerning responsibility
for the leak narrowed down today to
financial writer's and embassy attach
es abroad.
Secretary Lansing will appear be-
fore the rules committee Monday
morning. This was announced follow
ing an executive session Of the com
mittee this afternoon.
According to the belief of Represen-
tative Harrison, Of Mississippi, ex
pressed before the rules committee to-.
day, the leak was either caused by the
financial press or it came back to
Wall street from Europe
Following this statement the com
mittee, besides issuing subpoenaes for
the entire Washington staffs of the
American and Wall Street Journal, or
dered these publications to produce
copies of all news sent out by their
Washington representatives on Decem-
ber 20.
Representative Gardner said the
committee ought to question presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary Tumulty, all
employees Of the White House and
rt7'1 llment and all official en-
pioyes Of American embassies abroad

FAVORABLE
FOR ENTENTE DRIVE
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 10.--Gen. Castelnau.
chief of the French military delegation
at the conference Of the entente allies at
Petrograd, is quoted in a dispatch to the
Temps from the Russian capital as say
ing:
"One has only to compare the military
situation of the entente allies in the
month Of January, 1916, with that of
January. 1917, and he will be compelled
to admit that the conditions for the COM
ing Spring campaign are much more ia
vorable than they were last year.
Il can say that each day we are COM
ing nearer to the realization of our
objects. The brave Russian army,
which has assumed a formidable task;
the gallant Italian troops, and, finally,
the Anglo French forces which are In
creasing in numbG. constitute the best
guarantee of our final victory, which
thereafter will come promptly. In the
meantime the military power OF the
allies remains unshal<able. The Ger
mans have obtained success only on
secondary fronts.
with regard to the principal fronts.
on which decisive action will occur,
our enemies have shown themselves
powerless to obtain any serious re-
suits"

TALKS OF RADIUM QUALITIES.
Physician Thinks It Not Satisfactory
Tumor Cure, But Best Palliative.

NEW YORK. February 1O-Radium is
not a satisfactory means for the cure
of malignant tumors, but it is the best
palliative treatment available in a num-
ber of cases, according to DR.. Francis
Carter Wood, director of the Crocker
cancer research laboratory at Colum-
bia University. as published today in a
supplementary report on the years ac-
tivities at the laboratory.
while radium cannot be regarded as
a satisfactory method for the cure of
malignant tumors," DR.. Wood said in
his report. there is no question but
that it is the best palliative treatment
now available in cases of inoperable
primary tumors or of inoperable re-
currences after surgical removal of the
primary growth. 1t is undoubtedly pos
sible to prolong life and to render the
patient more comfortable by the judi
cious and intelligent employment of large
quantities of the substance. but, on the
other hand. it is equally certain that
the use of small quantities of the ele-
ment in such cases often results in a
rapid extension of the tumor, SO that
the patients condition becomes worse
than it would have been if he had been
left alone"

The blaze started in the packing de-
partment Of the building. Only few
men were at work in the building at
wood fire departments were called. but,
famed by a high wind. the fire gained
such headway that it was necessary to
call out the fire departments from the
adjoining boroughs of Braddock, wiki
insburg, North Braddock and Rankin,
and a part of the Pittsburgh depart
ment. For more than half an hour it
was impossible to throw any water, on
the fire because Of frozen water plugs

Swissvale reservoir.
The machine shop building covered
100000 square feet. 1t contained the
emergency hospital. packing room. ex-
perimental department and general
machine shops. More than 1000 shells
in the packing room awaiting shipment
probably were destroyed.

since last November. The Union
Switch and Signal Company. which was
founded by the late George Westing-
house in 1881, recently was taken over

ley announced tonight that investiga-
ton of the origin of the fire would be
made by agents of the Department of

government was interested in view of
the fact that war orders had been filed

j. S. SHIPS WILL NOT
SAIL UNLESS ARMED
American Line Head Declares
Government Must Provide
Protection.
UNABLE TO BUY ANY GUNS

NEW YORK, February 10.-Unless the
United States government provides con-
voys, or guns and gunners to protect
its ships, the American line, owners of
the steamships ST. Louis st. Paul and
others liners. will not send them across
the Atlantic, it was announced here by
F. "A. S. Franklin. president of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine.
This decision was reached after the
failure of efforts to provide their own
defensive armament, Mr. Franklin said.
The only source of supply of guns in
this country. he added. seems to be the
United States government, "and our
government seems disinclined to furnish
this protection"
All Efforts Unsuccessful.
AS far as the American line is con-
cerned, said Mr.: Franklin, I'VE have
done our best in every direction to Sc
cure the necessary guns and gun crews,
but 1t does not seem possible that pri-
vate corporations will be able properly
to equip their ships with defensive
armament. The American line steamers
Will not be able to sail at all unless the
government decides either to provide
conveys or put on each of our steamers
the guns and trained gunners essential
to the safety of the passengers and
crew. s"i9S -
The supply or guns made by priyate
manufacturers in this country, he
pointed out. has been exhausted by
the demand from European countries
at war. He said the St. Louis would
sail II only one gun could be obtained
Tor her, but it seemed impossible to
get even this from the government or
private sources.
French and British ships are sailing
to and from this port" he continued.
with Indifference to any orders from
Germany, because they are armed, but
the American line has not even one
gun TO protect itself In case of any
emergency. We should have the guns
of six-inch caliber and crews to man
them. There are too many lives and
too much property at stake to send
ships out without protection
Gun Factories Canvassed.
In the effort of the line to obtain
armament. Mr.. Franklin declared that
every gun factory in the United States
was canvassed. without success Even
had it been possible to get the guns,
he pointed out, it would take a long
time to get proper crews and equipment
for them.
This is the situation that now con-
fronts the American line, which does
not desire to jeopardize it's ships or
human lives in defiance of possible
enemies on the high seas. MIR. Franklin
concluded.
The sailing of the Swedish-American
liner Stockholm from this port Mon
day, February IL. for Gothenburg. has
been postponed indefinitely by instruc-
tions received today from the lines
