LEAK INQUIRY HELD
PENDING AN EXTENSION

Washington, Jan. 10.-After an
executive session, the house rules
committee adjourned until tomorrow
without final action on the Wood reso-
luton, providing for an investiga-
ton of the alleged leak of the presi-
dents note. Although most of the
Democratic members favor abandon
ing the whole thing with an adverse
report, the subcommittee was APP
pointed to draft contempt charges
against Thomas W. Lawson, for use
in case the committee decides to re-
port Lawson for refusal to give
names.
When the committee adjourned
there was pending a resolution by
Representative Campbell, Kansas,
Republican, designed to broaden the
scope of the present inquiry in the
leak to meet Lawson's objections.
Campbell said he wanted to "call
I.awson's hand" There are indica-
tons that CampbelPs resolution or a
similar one win be adopted.
Such action would recall Lawson
to the stand.
The present intention of the COM
mittee is to hear no more testimony
until the question of broadening the
scope is settled.

POWER BOAT
Local Association Purchases
Handsome Craft to Re
pace Shepherdess.

1t was announced last evening that
the Pensacola Pilots Association had
bought the power boat Eleanor, which
is said to have been used as pilot
boat off the bar at Galveston, for
some months. Temporary documents
have been issued from the Pensacola
custom house for this vessel, and it
is understood that Captain Charles
Perry, who has been interesting HIM
self in the purchase of the vessel.
will, upon his return, bring the new
vessel here.
The Eleanor, built in 1914. is a
vessel of / 7tons net. She is 80.3
feet long, has a breadth of 1876, and
is So feet deep. She was built at
Westlake, La, and has an indicated
horsepower Of 100.
1t is understood that the recently
purchased craft viii be brought TO
Pensacola Immediately, and will enter
into the pilotage service without loss
Of time. It is sal that she is already
equipped with facilities for housing
comfortably those pilots who win be
required TO be on the bar on
watches"
At present the local association is
using leased launch, and conven-
fences for reaching incoming vessels
are not the best, under the present
arrangements. The use of the larges
and more commodious boat, together
with the added 100-horsepower, WIN
fill long felt want here.

ARE REPAIRING
EMMA HARVEY.
Vessel lowed Here Bottom
Up Changes Hands for
Use Locally.

Hauled out on the ways in. the basin
Immediately in the rear of the plant
of the Pensacola Manufacturing Com
pany, the schooner Emma Harvey Is
being given considerable repairs, and
quite a force of workmen were
busted on the craft Yesterday. 1t is
possible that an engine will be in
stalled by the new owners.
This is the craft which was picked
up drifting aimlessly about in the
gulf by the steamer Flanders before
the accident happened which sent that
vessel to the bottom. Considerable
litigation resulted over claim for
salvage and the vessel was finally
sold by her former owners, who re-
sided in Gulfport. East Bay people
now own the Harvey, and it will be
several days before the almost -aban-
doned craft will be ready for active
service. 1t is understood she will be
used as freight boat between PEN
sacola and the East Bay country.
The Pensacola Manufacturing Com
pany, it might be herein stated, has
of late taken on new life with the in
fusion of new blood. Machinery
capable of preparing constructive
woods for boat building have been in
stalled, and yesterday a considerable
quantity of choice cypress and other
native woods were ripped up, prepar-
atory, it was stated, to entering into
the repair or actual construction OF
small craft. Quite fleet of vessels
have been hauled up on the ways
maintained BY that company, anc
quite a fleet is ready to be repaired
all of which contributes to making
the new company one of much prom
Use in this particular line.

Christian was commissioned adjutant
general at $50 this afternoon by Gov
ernor Cats, and Gen. Clifford Fos-
ter was removed.
Mr.. Christian is matchmaker and
clearinghouse keeper here who was
a boyhood friend and college mate at
Auburn, Alabama, with Governor
Cats.
The attorney general, upon the re-
quest of Governor Cats, rendered the
opinion that General Foster could be
deposed and that a constitutional
amendment two years ago, lobbied for
by Foster, made the term of office
'at the pleasure of the governor"
General Foster qualified as a candi-
date in the primary, was put in by
the state committee, made a campaign
expense statement and paid his fee,
his friends here say, but did not go on
the ticket because he had no oppo-
sition.
Governor Cats friends say that
the constitutional amendment makes
his case different from. that of Cir
cult judges and states attorneys, who
are appointive but who run in the pri-
mary.

Interest in Case, Inter

IN A FEW WEEKS
Hagerman for Government,
Vigorously Defends the
Action of Congress.
~ AssoCIATEn pREss

washington Jan. UT mai arRu-
ment over constitutionaIity of the
Adanson law were heard today in the
supreme court with Special Assistant
Attorney General Hagerman closing
the case for the government. The
justices continued to question the
attorneys, as they did yesterday, and
often interrupted arguments. In no
other case of recent months has the
court taken such large part in the
proceedings.
Maintaining power of congress TO
pass the law, Mr.. Hagerman said it
can be operated temporarily just like
the interstate commerce commission
temporarily regulates rates.
There's no claim that this law is
confscatory," the attorney continued.
Congress acted in its discretion, a
discretion with which the judiciary
has no power to interfere"
ooh, no one claims that the court
suggests its discretion for that of con-
gress," interrupted Chief Justice
White.
When Mr.. Hagerman said the legal
presumption-all presumptions-are
in favor of validity of an act of
congress. the chies justice intarfupt-
ed:
''I don't believe Il means to go that
far-not all presumptions, but every
reasonable presumption"
The federal employees liability,
hours of service, pilotage, and other
laws were cited by Mr. Hagerman as
precedents of the attention of con-
gress to contracts of employment
'The court called attention to the
fact that pilotage stands on peculiar
grounds because of the character of
employment" the chief justice inter
rupted
you've said in other cases Thy in
fercnce), that the power of congress
exists to fix the wage" Mr.. Hager-
man answered.
! Justice McKenna said he would not
admit that the right to restrict con-
tract is a grant to control contract
Mr.. Hagerman emphatically gave
his individual opinion that congress
has powers to enact compulsory arbi-
tration legislation, "if necessary fol-
the movement of trains"
That railroad workmen are just as
much a part of transportation az
Tears or locomotives, was contended by
Mr.. Hagerman, saving:
IF this court can say that tbs
! wages of the men who makes possible
the movement of trains has no real OF
substantial relation to commerce, ther
lmy words are without effect Tht
pay of men has a direct bearing OF
effectuality of transportation.
''Can congress fix the price o.
crossties 2" asked Justice McReynolds
The attorney replied that incidents II
; actual movement" of trains wer'
subject to congressional regulation
"The question of ties is just de
gree removed he said, land we ar
only dealing with the movement O
the trains and the court has said tn,
men are a part and parcel of move
ment. Congress has the right to re
move or prevent distractions of com
merce, whether by compulsory arbi
tration on a strike or the bold threat
: of carriers last September to stol
carrying freight in anticipation of
strike"
In the interest of efficient and SAT,
transportation, the attorney argued
the public has an interest in employee
receiving an adequate wage.
