MRS. VIScoNTI TO BE
 CALLED, AT LEAK HEARING
But She Will Not Be Allowed to Dilate
 on Capital Gossip and Scandal

Washington Feb 6.-Activities of the congressional leak inquiry committee today consisted chiefly of arguing in executive session about closing tho hearings and trying to extract from witnesses in public the true story of the circumstances surrounding the sending of a forecast on President Wilson's peace note from the Washington brokerage house of F. A. Connolly & company to D. F. Hutton & company at New York. Little progress was made in either direction.
 Some democrats of the committee are understood to think that 8 report should be made to the house soon that a leak has been established through admissions of two Washington news papermen, J. Fred Essary and W. " Price, that they supplied forecasts of the note to New York and Chicago brokers Other members, however, are said to be contending for a continuance of the investigation and thorough ex- conti.
 Mrs. Visconti, it is authoritatively stated, win be called. Anything she can testify to in direct connection with her alleged statement to Thomas w. Lawson that MT. Price acted as a "go- between" for Secretary Tumulty and others in Wall street deals will be vel comed by the whole committee. But many are averse to permitting her to go into a recital of capital gossip and scandal generally, as it has been re- ported she would do if allowed to take the stand. She has refused to make ah affidavit in regard to her testimony for the committee

OF ST. LOUIS

Officials Say She wnl Not Sail Before

New York. Feb. 6.-The American line announced tonight that the steam ship Se~ Louis. detained here since last Saturday because of the international situation would not sail for Liverpool before noon Thursday" Persons who previously been notified that the St. Louis would not depart before noon tomorrow"
 The officers of the company. in ex- pIaining their decision tonight to again defer the vessels sailing, assert ed they were still awaiting word from ti:e state department at Washington.
 The tension in shipping circles caused by the sailing from Liverpool on Feb. of the New York. said to be the only American passenger ships now at sea- was lessened today by the Announcement were clear of the Eu- ropean war zone While anxiety felt by American ship owners pending a more definite turn of affairs resulted in the Standard Oil companp ordering all of it's ships engaged in trans tan tic service held in port, British own CTS apparently were not worried. The White Star liner cretic, with lO2 pas sengers, six of whom are Americans, sailed for Mediterranean ports today on schedule time. She carried a large cargo and on her stern was mounted q three-inc gun. The only change an- nounced by d foreign steamship com pany as a result of the resumption of fare. was the decision of the Cunard line today to discontinue the practice of making public lists of persons en- gazing passage on it's vessels. No ex- planation for this action was forth coming from officials of the company.

 ENGINES RENDERED USELESS.
Indications of Deliberate Attempt to
 Cripple the Liner.

Boston. Feb. 6.-The refugee German steamer KronprinZessin Cecilie, built at a cost of s4,500, 900. has been ren- dered useless for months by the dis abling of her engines, it was discovered today by Captain John B. Coyle, an engineer of the United States coast guard service. He reported to Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury Andrew J. Peters that his examination indi- cated deliberate attempt to cripple the liner.
 The cylinders of the two high pres sure engines, according to information from an authoritative source, were found to have. been destroyed A piece of steel about three feet ,ong was cut out of each cylinder, renderirE the en- sfn<s useless, ard boitheads, 1asten- ing the cylinder heads, were knocked otf. Because the machinery was made in Germany. 1t was said that the dam aged parts could not be duplicated here and to use the steamer it would be necessary to install new engines | As a result of the discoveries a de- cisfon was reached to institute crim- ina1 proceedings against those who may be found guilty of the conspiracy. The Kronprinzessin Cecilie, through civil suits against her owners which are pending in the federal courts, was in nominal custody of the United States marshal from November. 1914, when she came here from Bar Harbor, Me-. until Saturday night. when Mar shaI John J. Mitchell took physical possession of the vessel on the demand of New York banking institutions which were the libellants- Federal off, cials are understood to have agreed that under the circumstances the dam age to the steamship constituted an
 offensive against the United States and the matter was placed in the hands of
 United States District Attorney George W. Anderson for prosecution. Electricians were stili at work to-
 l night endeavoring to discover whether any contriyance had been set up to cause further damage to the vessel 1 The Cecilie is nov manned by agents
 of the federal marshal. Her crew was removed Saturday night, but had been allowed to visit the ship today. Fol-
 lowing Captain Coyle's findings how ever, all were forbidden to come aboard.
