TAFT DENOUNCES leak
PROBE AS MONEY WASTE
Tells Press Club Members Lawson Talk,
Like Bad Odor. Will Pass Away.

Former President William Howard Taft,
in an address before the Natior al Press
Club last night declared that the United
States can no longer remain half in and
half out Of international affairs.
lie also deprecated the present leak
investigation. which ne declared to he
tremendous and useless expenditure OF
the peoples money and tn" brain power
Of their lawmakers.
Former President Taft was introduced
by his old friend. Gus KarEer Washing
ton correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Times-Star. who was presented as the
presiding officer OF the meeting by Graf
ton :. Wilcox. president OF the club.
Mr.. Taft handled the leak investiga-
ton as follows:
Il have observed there are some gen
tlemen who feel that there is an eNigency
now i'm the history OF the country that
requires some means Of protecting the
reputation OF men in high places. I have
an impression that there were four years
some time back in which I had a feel
ing on that subject. l agree with that
view. I agree with the idea that Il Is
too bad TO have irresponsible stories and
dreams put out as serious. 10 find their
ways into headlines. affecting the repu-
tation OF men who are entirely helpless
to defend themselves.

APPROVAL OF DONALD
REFUSED BY SENATE
Presidents Selection for Federal Ship
ping Board Turned Down.

The Senate last night in executive ses-
sion failed to confirm the appointment of
John B. Donald, of New York, as mem
Der of the new Federal Shipping Board
after lively debate in which the Presi-
dents appointment was subjected TO Sc
we're attack on the ground of his alleged
anti-Americanism. The Senate confirmed
the other four appointees of the board
They are: John B. White, Of Kansas CITY:
Bernard NJ Baker of Baltimore: Theo-
dore Brent. of New Orleans, and William
Denman, of San Francisco.
Mr. Donald was objected to chiefly be-
cause he employs almost exclusively
Chinese seamen on the vessels operated
by the Donald Steamship Line. Obiec-
tion also was raised against the practice
of the Donald concern in operating all
of its vessels under the British flag.
Mr.. Donald's frank admission to the SEN
ate Commerce Committee that his com
pany found It more expedient from a bust
ness standpoint to operate under British
registry, and his expressed belief that
the Shipping Board could afford no more
than temporary relief from the present
dilemma of shipping interests, prompted
Senators to seriously question his fitness
for membership on the board

WHIPPLE PRAISED
Lawson Himself Recommend
ed Chief Prober.

Even while the leak" investigators are
marking time and awaiting the coming of
Special Counselor Whipple, there have
been new revelations in the situation
The most spectacular was the announce
ment yesterday that Thomas w. Lawson
himself recommended the selection of
Sherman L. Whipple, coupling with the
recommendation this comment:
The one man who will fit the jobs re-
qutrement OF ability, experience. patience,
persistence, mental and physical endur-
ance. strong patriotism, and hundred per
leader of the New England bar"
The foregoing enomium was embodied
in letter which Lawson yesterday ad-
dressed to the Rules Committee Chair
man Henry refused any comment on this
fact.
Also it is authorita"SyA reported that
the investigators intend a ss-examine

with the turbulent market which follow
ed the peace note and the peace inter-
changes between the belIigerent nations

1t Is known that Treasury officials have
information to the effect that numerous
group OF brokers acted In concert in the
sudden demand for double margins This
requirement was to take effect on the
day of the publication of the President 9
note. The depressing effect upon any
market OF such concerted call canrot
be underestimated, it Is said.
1t was strongly limited that the De-
partment of Justice may be called upon
to determine whether or not combination
Of brokerage interests to force this mar
gin increase constitutes a violation Of the
antitrust laws. The Treasury officials,
who are said to be responsible for adding
this new and complicated subject OF in
vestigation to the already lengthy list of
things for the leak" probers to dissect.
assert that the group of brokers who par

sented commitments of approximately
