LEAK PROBE WITNESS
TELLS OF PEACE TIPS
Bernard Baruch, Wall Street Broker, Tells of Max
ing $500, 900 Through Placing "Peace lunches
Last Observation-Disclosures Friend Questioned

| NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Bernard Bar
uch, Wall Street broker, today declar-
ed before the house rules committee in
vestigating the alleged leak of in
formation on the presidents peace note
that he had cleared nearly 100000
placing peace lunches" during De-
cember. He said he sold $4,000 shares
of steel short on December 10, when
David Lloyd George addressed the
house OF commons leaving a path open
to peace.
The probers today apparently at
tempted to trace the leak to Count J.
H. Won Bernstorff, German ambassa-
dor to the United States who is accus-
ed by Thomas w. Lawson, at whose
instigation the probe was started, with
having proftted 100000 through ad-
vance information ON the peace note.
Archibald White, close friend of the
ambassador when questioned flatly
denied having received advance in
formation from Bernstorff, and denied
that he had traded upon the stock mar
ket during the period when the leak Is
alleged to have occurred.
Some of the most sensational charges
OF Thomas l. Lawson, made in testify
ing recently in the investigation were
vehemently denied yesterday by Pliny
Fisk and Archibald S. White, two wide
~ known New York financiers, when
they appeared before the congressione
al inquisitors. Mr.. Fisk, named by
Lawson as the banker member of an
alleged trio composed of cabinet
member Secretary McAdoo, member
of congress, known as Senator o."
and banker who had joint account
in Wall street, declared emphatically
that no such combination ever existed7.
White who was declared by lawson
to have told him Fisk had boasted to
him that he controlled Secretary Me-
Adoo, and had offered to call the Sec
retary from his bed by telephone at
80 O'Clock in the morning to prove
his assertion. insisted that Lawson was
"romancing"
AS a result OF these denials commit
teemen expressed belief that the length
of the hearings here had been shorten-
ed materially. Some said they would

expected developments do not arise,

RUMOR OF SECESSION
GROWS OUT OF FIGHT

BOISE, Ida, Jan. 30.-Tiring of the
biennial efforts to create sectional dis
satisfaction by striking at state insti-
tutions, many leading northern Idaho
members of the present legislature
seen last night declared that if the
south wants the north to secede it may
have the wish gratified. 1t is reported
on excellent authority that enabling
acts asking for secession are now be-
ing drafted for presentation to the
legislature this week and that they
will have surprising support in both
houses.
Informal conferences of northern
Idaho members have been held and a
general conference is to take place to
discuss the proposed educational con-
solidation and secession plans. None
of the members from the north seem
to favor the former. Many of them
look favorably upon secession.
I'VE have fostered in the north the
DOlICy Oi uOIStCllOudiiolu uhioho Oui
people, and urged broad, statewide de-
velopment,' said Representative Nc
Gowan. "If the south desires to con-
tinually raise the issue of sectiOnalism
then the north will meet it,"
Representative Daughters, Kiger and
others expressed themselves in the
same way. Many said they were pre-

PRESIDENT OFFERED TO
RESIGN LAST DECEMBER
Written Resignation Handed In Month Ago Returned
on Account of Protests-Board May Investigate
Alleged ELECTION Activities 1t Is Announced

The written resignation of Presi-
dent Brannon was given to President
Evan Evans of the state board of edu-
cation as early as last December, ac-
cording to a statement DR.. Brannon
gave to the press last night. Due to
strong protests against its being pre-
sented to the board the resignation
was returned.
The manner in which the matter
came up in the board meeting Satur-
day morning is said to have been about
as follows:
Ramsey Walker, democratic men,
ber of the board asked DR.. E. o. Sis
son, if the resignation of Dr.. Brannon
had been received by him, to which
DR.. Sisson replied that it had not. 1t
was then that Evan Evans, the chair
man, is said to have stated that Dr..
Brannon had filed with him his res
ignition but had later recalled it. He
also stated that he told DR.. Brannon
over the telephone that he thought he,
Brannon, owed it to the board to af-
firm or deny the newspaper charges
that were made against him in a
Boise newspaper so that the board
might know how to act intelligently if
anything came up later. 1t is under
stood that after this talk the resigna-
ton was withdrawn, but it is said
that no such denial or affirmation has
been made to any member of the
board.
During the election campaign last
fall it became known that the rela-
tions between Governor Alexander and
DR.. Brannon were not the most cordial
and statement was published that DR..
Brannon SO resented the attitude OF
the governor toward higher education
that he would resign if the governor
was reelected. Dr.. Brannon later de-
MED making such a statement. The
governor has contended that DR.. Bran
non was making a republican political
machine out of the university. Dr.
Rrannpu contended this talk was idle
and insincere.
BOISE. Jan 30.-An Investigation is
being made by the board of the alleged
political activity of the university
president during the last campaign in
this state. He vii be given an oppor-
tunity to deny this charge. it is said.
The present board, majority of whom
are composed of appointees of the gov
ernor, have taken up the issue. j. A.
Keefer of Shoshone has been appointed
a board member to succeed T. A. Wal
ters. attorney-general, who resigned.
IT is understood DR.. Brannon will be
here this week. George r. Barker.
former secretary of state, was report
ed during the campaign as having said
that Brannon told him he would resign
if Alexander was reelected. Barker
later declared that he was misquoted
and Brannon denied having made any
statement derogatory to the governor
to Barker.

Senator Mitchell. president pro tenn

to any plan to injure the northern

did not take the matter seriously.
Other senator's from the north eX-
pressed the same views. They are
lined up to man against the program.
They will stand solidly for united

proposal comes from the southeastern
members. Representative Findlay,
who introduced the university resolu-
ton, is from a southeastern county.
Il believe said Representative
Shearer. the plan proposed is for the
purpose of defeating the budgets call
ing for improvements for the several

the seriousness of the situation if this
proposed plan of stagnation to educa-
tional institutions should by any possi-
bility be successful" "
