ton of the leak" on the presidents

sci to the committee, asserted that the
atmosphere has been cleared; it has
been demonstrated to nicely where
the advance information on the peace
note came from, and who profited by
it,"
The stock brokerage flrn Of f. f..
Hutton & Co.. he said, and it's custom
lers were among the beneficiaries Of the
'leak," which he declared has been
definitely fixed as coming from two
Washington newspaper correspondents.

company, for swearing that it was he
alone who had sent advance informa-
ton when 1t was later proved to have
been sent by J. Fred Essary. one of
the newspaper. men, would be taken up
by the house committee in executive
session in Washington, Mr.. Whipple
said.
Mr.. Whipple added that the investi-

said soberly. looking about at the faces
surrounding him, "and the signature

"This-the man knows, and will not

Of injustice, and the estates were re-

CHICAGO PAPER HELPS IN
BOOSTING GRFF FUND

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 24-Ths one
bright spot in Griffs life today is
that his bat and ball fund got a won
derful boost here. Prior to yester-
days clash Griff was handed a check
by Colonel Milton, foreman OF the
Second Illinois Field Artillery. The
paper called for over STOO, which was
collected by the Chicago Herald
from White Sox fans.
Money for the fund is still coming
in, and the total will reach $500 be-
fore Griff departs. In addition there
will be a collection at Saturdays
game, and at least 5000 should be
gathered. The day has been set aside
as Clark Griffith day, and part OF
the program will be a military page
ant in which soldiers and sailors to
the number Of 5000 will participate.
The Griffs made a mighty fine
showing in their competitive drill for
the $500 Ban Johnson prize. The men
seemed to take interest in the event,
and did a lot better than many ex-
pected OF them. They were handi-
capped to a degree, by comparison.

and there is reason to believe that
the final selection will hinge between

OVERTON WILLING
TO RACE MILE IN
A.A.U. TITLEMEET

Johnny Overton, the former Yale
miller and intercollegiate cross-coun-
try champion. now a lieutenant In
the United States marines, has writ
ten Frederick W. Ruben, secretary
treasurer OF the A. A. u, from Guam
tico, Va, where he is now stationed,
that he wants to match strides
against Joie Ray, Joe Stout, and
Eddie Fall In the national champion
ships at st. Louis on August 81, Sep
tember l and 3.
overton states that the work he
has been doing in the service has
kept him in good shape, and, in addi-
ton to this, he has been training for
the past three weeks with the cham
pinnships and a local military meet in
view. and is now running as well as
ever.
This means that the mile race at
st. Louis will be the feature event OF
the championships, and It would not
be expecting too much to look for a
new worlds record, as the third OF a
mile track at the Washington Univer-
sity stadium, where the games will
be held, is considered one of the fast
est tracks in the country. It Is the
same track that the Olympic games
OF 1904 were held on, and has been
placed in first-class condition.
Ray. Fall, Stout. and Overton have
each run the mile in 4:16 or better,
and II they all select the mile in the
Nationals, 1t will result in one of
the greatest races ever run at this
distance. AlOnzo Stagg writes that
Stout is anxious to compete in the
National mile and also that his recent
All 2-5 seconds mile was run on q
track OF boards which was practical
ly straightaway, and this time was re-
corded by two watches.
Stout is not a newcomer, as II will
be remembered he made a new con-
ference record in winning the two
mile Conference Championship in 1915
and also forced Eddie Fall to do 4:l6
in the Central A. A. L. mile on June
30. Falls best time for the mile is
4:15 As, made at the Conference
last June, and tho
capabilities OF both Ray and Overton
are well known to athletic followers
throughout the United States.
