law so as TO provide that any person

existing laws prior to July 3, 1910

he believes that persons who have an

NEW YORK, Jan. 23-The house

the committee outlined the scope
which the investigation will be liable
to take. He then called. as the first
witness, the president OF the New York
Stock Exchange. II. G.. S. Noble Noble
sketched the technical details of the
manner in which stock transactions
are conducted. Whipple asked him il
the board of governors which control
the exchange commended preconcert-
ed movements of combinations TO
sell the market short" Noble did not
relish the questions asked him and
after some spirited exchanges he re-
piled that so long as these combina-
tons are formed to deal in stocks he
could see nothing wrong in taking ad-
vantage of any conditions that would
be TO their benefit. Whipple asked
Noble to request the other members
of the board of governors TO request
the brokerage houses to submit all
their books showing all the transGc-
tions that took place during the week
OF the alleged leak" Noble said he
would ask them in accordance with the
request. The second witness was

other transactions. After his testi.
