the statements he made were based
on information in letter to him from
A. Curtis, Wall street broker. Ha
did not have the letter with him, but
said he would produce it later.
What information he had regarding
the so-callcd leak, h. said, was only
hearsay and he feared that public
statement would interfere with the
work OF the committee in obtaining
witnesses.
Advises Short Selling.
| Wood testified he had been in
formed that on Wednesday, December
, 20 which was prior to the publication
OF the note, a confidential telegram
had been sent by R. w. McKinnon, OF
Thompson & McKinnon, brokers OF
Chicago, to Ralph H. Hartley, man.
ager OF their branch at Oshkosh, Wis,
advising him that the president would
have a message of Importance soon
and that he should advise frieEds and
patrons of his office to sell short on
stocks. S. B. Friday OF Oshkosh was
named by Wood as his informant.
Early in the afternoon OF the same
day, Wood said he was informed Lam
son brothers branch brokerage office
in Lafayette, Ind, also received in
formation from Chicago that the
president was about to send peace
note"
Representative Wood requested
that Otto Kahn, OF Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., New York, be subpoenaed and in
terrogated regarding what advance in
formation he had, if any, about the
note.
A resolution to ask the New York
stock exchange to preserve all its
books and papers from December III
to the present date and another to
make the same request OF w. B. Hibbs
& Co. and any other brokers in Wash
ington, were approved by the COM
mittee.
Presidents Wife's Brother
Il have information also" Repre-
sentative Wood told the committee,
that an exchange firm here known as
+. A. Connolly & Co. OF which Mr.
Boiling, a brother of the presidents
wife, is a member, engaged in profit
able transactions during the recent
furry. Their dealings on the stock
exchange were made through Hutton
& Co. Of New York, reputed to be one
Of the largest speculative concerns in
Wall street."
Asked by Representative Henry for
the source OF his information, Mr.
Wood said that most of ii comes from
"Mr. A. Curtis, broker and stock
dealer in Wall street"
who gave yo,. the information
about Barney Barus' and Mr.
Tumulty?" Representative Henry
asked.
THAT came from Curtis
'Did you see him and where"
| "No, never saw him." Mr.. Wood
replied. 1T came to me in a letter"
Asked for the letter the congress
man said he did not have it with him
but would get it later.

TWO YEARS FOR sEDITIoN.

Mr.. Tadg Barry, who was tried by
court martial in Cork, Ireland re-
Gently, on a charge of having made a
sedtious speech in the City Hall,
Cork, in November LIST, has been sell
fenced to two years Imprisonment
without hard labor. The evidence
was to the effect that he said they
would dream Of an Irish Republic ull-
til they had achieved it, and when the
day came they would be ready. Ills
references to England and khaki
evoked grOans and Kisses.
Mr.. Barry has been prominent as a
writer and worker in the Irish Ire
land and Gaelic League movements
in the South, and was identified with
the Cork COiStc Cacnntair.

CREATES HOME FOR LEPERs.

A national home for lepers is ere
ated under the act signed by the Pres
ident Under the new law, also. the
public health service is drafting regu-
lations to cover the treatment of lep-
ers, and it is stated that $50 cases of
leprosy have already been found in
the United States. The location of
the home has not been determined
upon. The act appropriates $250,000
for it's establishment, and the health
service will undertake the transporta'
ton to the home of all lepers desiring
treatment or committed to the estab
lishment by health authorities of any
state.
This bill was introduced by Senator
Ransdell of Louisiana, who has
worked increasingly to have it passed
at this session of Congress.

There seems to be no uncertainty
as to the attitude toward the United
States government on the part of its
millions Of foreigners, for within the
last week, in addition to the usual de-
mand for naturalization blanks on the
bureau Of naturalization Of the De-
partmcnt of Labor, nearly 10000
blanks have been shipped to the nat
uraizing courts in Boston. New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh. Chicago and
other cities. The clerical force in the
various courts throughout the country
has had to be increased and in the

Brooklyn, N. y. eighteen clerks have
been assigned to the work against Il

OBJECTS TO THE CARNEGIE AND
ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATIONS.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon
speaking in the Senate last week in
opposition to the Carnegie and Rookie
Teller Foundations, said in part: 81
have no objection to their private and
charitable activities in any line that
they may see fit to follow, but what l
object to. is that they should become
so allied with the Government itself,
that carnations from their brain and
from the brains Of their agents, shall
have as it were the Government
the people as the doctrines and prin-
ciples enunciated by the Government
itself.
"In regard to the Carnegie FOunda-
ton, say it's methods are even more
dangerous to the American youth
than the methods the Rockefeller
Foundation pursues. Let me illus
trate what I mean. Give me, Mr..
President, the education of the youth
of this country, and the control of
500, 0OO, 900 or 100000 for a period
! of years to do as l please, and ! ven.

t1bee generations ! can practically
change the ideals of America. 1t is
not the first time in the history OF
this Republic, where the school has
been resorted to to change public opin

history of the world where schools
and universities have been resorted
to for the purpose of changing public
opinion.

that Washington in his Farewell AID

of the American people, and stated
how necessary it was for our preser

any source an idea as to why thai

that it was prompted by the condi

Prominent SOCIETY
GIRL BECOMES NUN
THE BETTER PART.
Pretty Heiress Becomes Nun-She
Felt 1t Was Her Calling and Ran
Away From Home.

Salt Lake City, February To
kneel in reverence before the taber-
nacle, to mingle with the poor, to be-
come an angel of charity, is what
pretty Mary Schuchreck OF East St.
Louis prefers to marrying man she
does not love. She quietly told this
to City Judge Browning, following
legal action by her mother, Mrs. Mary
Schuchreck, to obtain possession of
her. Miss Schuchreck who is IL
years old, recently ran away to Chi
cage to become a nun. The fight be-
gan last week when Mrs. Schuchreck
filed a petition in the city court ask
ing that a writ of habeas corpus be
issued. The action was directed
against the Franciscan Sisters of st.
East st. Louis. She charged that the
girl had been spirited away by the
nuns, and was being held against her
will. The girl appeared in court and
faced her mother. She was not de-
tiant. but determined. She spoke in
a low, convincing tone when she told
OF her ambition to enter the sister
hood Il was not induced to enter

went of NV own free will hrcauSp I
felt that it was my calling. Anyway,
did not want to marry" Her mother
turned away. The fight ended there.
She said if her daughter really want
ed to become a nun she had no OBJ
lection. The petition was then dis
missed. She left the room with her
daughter. The girl is said to have
departed when her mother wanted
her to marry a man she did not love.
few days before the final announce
ment of her bans was read in st.
Adalbcrts church. East St Louis. She
sang in the choir there. When the
novitiatc Sisters learned tina, she had
entered in opposition to her mothers

novtiate authorities were notified of
the mothers legal action, and the

GOOD OLD DUBLIN,

Much interest was taken in prose-
cutiOn under the Defense OF the
Realm Act that was heard at Mount
BclIcW, County Galway, Petty Scs-
sions, Ireland, recently, when Il young
farmer named Thomas IIavcrty of
Springlawn, Moylough, was charged
by District Inspector r. Price, Mount
below, with uttcring statements like
ly to be prcjudicial to the peace of
the district, and contrary to the De
Tense Of the Realm Act regulations.
Evidence was given to the effect
that IIavcrty, with Il number Of other
young men, was returning from a
Gaelic football tournament at l'ally-
gar. The defendant stood up on the
sidccar and shouted "IIurrah for the
rebels" and Good old Dublin."
The court, after consideration, de
cidcd to fine defendant ga and full
costs.

other southern institutions were noted
throughout the country wherever they
happened to be, as young men who
were lacking in religious conviction.
Not only was that true with reference
to William and Mary College, but it
was true with reference to Yale, and
atheism and infidelity there were not
uprooted until Timothy Dwight be-
came president of the institution, and
went to work to reform college life
and opinion. Is it not possible that
Washington's address was suggested
by these considerations and condi-
lions which existed at educational in
stitutions of this country?
eff it were true in those days it is
true in this day, that if you place the
education of our people in the hands
of men whose ideas are at variance
with the ideas and ideals of most Of
the people of this country, there is no
telling where it will lead.
Mote the difference between the
Rockefeller Foundation, if you please,
and the Carnegie Foundation. The
Rockefeller Foundation declines to
give any Of it's bounty to any state in
stitution. That cuts out one impor-
tant class OF colleges.
THE Carnegie Foundation declines
to give any of it's bounty to any sec
tartan institution. These two great
Foundations practically put the ban
on two great classes of educational
institutions Of our Countrywide state
institutions and the sectarian institu-
tions. What is the result of that? ?
| What was the purpose Of it? ! do not
know what the purpose was. l do

buttons receive bounty at their hands
both in the way of endowments to the
standardized schools and in the way
of pensions to teachers connected
Herewith. That drives the small col
leges out of existence; these latter
cannot compete; neither can the
state institutions, except in SO far as
they receive the cordial support OF
the state, compete with the pets OF
the Rockefeller Foundation. So that
the small institutions must go out OF
business entirely.

have sometimes thought it was a dc
sire for posthumus fame. We dc
know that the men who are connect

There are brave and patriotic mel
who are willing to beard the lion il
his den and undertake to oppose thu
activities of both of these FOunda
tions. 1t is up to the Congress of TIT

Carson. Does he forget that two
years previously they had accepted
optional exclusion at Mr.. Lloyt
Georges breakfast table, and had
then admitted the principle of parti,
ton? Mr.. Lloyd George was naturally
justified in the hope that they would
accept it, or any other insult offered
to Ireland by Liberal member of
the Ministry. Furthermore, they &C.
cepted and re-echoed Mr.. AsQuith S
famous dictum that it was "lnthink.
able to coercc Ulster" and thus I'M
mensely strengthened Sir Edward
Carson's hands. Ii there was a plot,
Mr.. Lloyd George and Mr.. Asquith
must have been the chief plotters.
The party agreed to recommend the
unpopular proposal because they were
convinced that that course was neces-
sary to Safeguard the Irish cause"
| Ireland was to be safeguarded by hav-
ing its ACKNOWLEDGMENT dccreed. 1t
ago Mr. Dillon's defense of this per-
| iidy to Ireland was that the party
accepted partition because they knew
that was the way to kill the scheme.
Does he think that all the people who
read these fantastic excuses are be-
reft of their senses? Coming to an
other topic, Mr. Dillon asserted that
he had never stood on Il recruiting
platform, and he never would In
pursuance OF Il recruiting campaign
in Ireland, Mr.. Asquith spoke at a
meeting at the Mansion House. Dub.
lin, on September %, 1914. MIR. Dill.
Ion attended and addressed the meet.
ing. BY disavowing all connection
with recruiting he puts himself at
variance with, and repudiates the
chairman of the party to which he
belongs. One of his complaints
against ourselves is that we declared
that the Irish party had sold the coun
try. We repeat that to agree to par.
tition was to sell the country. That
the country itself so felt was admit
ted by Mr.. Dillon when he confessed
that for Il time the power of the
party in Ireland had fallen very low
indeed"--that was just after they had
asscnted to the betrayal. The Bishop
of Achonly stated that the betrayal
Of the party by his English friends
has proved a decided gain for it has
restored to Ireland unfcttcrcu indie
pendence." But we were asked tt
trust the very men who arc admit ed
to have betrayed us, and, moreover
the Irish party supported these mel
with an abject slavishness. The let
ter of his lordship comedies that uI
to the transaction referred to there
was a lack of independence, the re
suit of which was detrimental to Ire
land. There are many blunders now
to be retrieved, and of which we
should have no occasion to complain
had the party at the proper time, an(
when it was not too late, displayed
some independence and backbone
Mr.. DillOn's speech is not such as tt
encourage us in the hope that these
blundcrs will be retrieved.
