Lawson ANp THE .LEAK.o

Two editorial views of Thomas w. Lawsons part
in the aleak inquiry are as follows the first being
from Bradstreet IS and naturally rejecting much of
the Wall street sentiment
ACertain Developments in connection with the in
qury by the fnles committee Of the house of repre-
sentatives as to an alleged "leak" of advance infor-
nation concerning the presidents peace note to the
powers and the use thereof for stock market pur-
poses may be described as farcica The entire pro-
ceeding is shown to have been based upon the merest
surise or gossip not scintilla of evidence having
been presented which would connect officials of the
administration at Washington with such disclosures
or OF c0lluson with speculative interests. The read
mess Of member of Congress to give currency to
vague accusations and of the committee to yield the
center of the stage in the inquiry to a recognized
n0toriety seeker are circumstances which distinctly
tend TO bring congressional Investigations into dis
repufe The truth of the matter, as most conserya-
tive Wall street interests recognized some time be-
fore the German chancellor launched his peace pro-
posals the president formulated his note to the
European belIigerents was that buuish speculation
il our stock market had reached an exaggerated and
dangerous stage, and peculiarly susceptible to
any news which, like that coming in the second week
Of December found the market ready for a severe
spell Of liquidation and short selling.
The Philadelphia Ledger says;
S1f what Tom Lawson told the rules committee
yesterday is the truth and if Chairman Henry is the
real author Of the "eakp story, then the frenzied
one has certainly managed once more to get himself
into the very center of the spotlight! And if Henry
was really the garrulous member who whispered the
momentous secret to Tom no other explanation is
needed for the tlisnclination of his committee to
follow the leak Investigation to the bitter end. No
wonder Lawson wanted to whisper his news to the
inquisitors. No wonder the rules committee wanted
to drop the investigation when the star witness
threatened TO be obdurate. And it is not to be
yeed at that the house refused to allow the probe to
be Withdrawn until II had reached the bottom of the
scandal In this connection it may be asked, Why
the anxiety of somebody to shield the diplomat
whom rumor had brought into the case? If Henry
name has had to be dragged in, there is good rea
son to clamp on the lid. OF course, the immunities
Of the diplomatic corps would apply, but the public
is entitled to know the truth, whomsoeFer it may
affect"

The chancellor then and since then declared that
attempts to starve Germany out had failed; that
her food supplies amply sufficient to carry her
through any possible duration Of the war that her
allies were assured of sustenance; that the British
naval blockade was failure.
In their notes. the Central Powers briefly review
ed their victories on land declared that they could
not be beaten; spoke with the utmost apparent con-
fidence of the future, ....%
Their words and the manner of their proposal
were the words and the manner of victors.
Yet now Germany in explaining its resort to
lruthIessness, SAYS that the German government
Unjust now continue it's warfare for existence The
Imperial government is therefore forced to do away
with the restrictions which until it has insisted
upon for use of its fighting means at sea-
The course of the Central Powers now is the
course of beigerent hard pressed in 1t is
the resort of an adversary whose confidence is
shaken to the foundation. III:
If report be correct this revival of Won Tirpitzsm
Though credited to Won Hindenburg) is over the
protests of Won Bethmann-Hollweg, over the advice
of Ambassador Won Bernstorf ever the counsel of
the large group of conservatives who know that the
American attitude is correct and that ruthlessness
cannot be carried ON without violating pledges to
America.
Whatever he the criticism of President Wilson in
Hawaii il is everywhere recognized that he has used
the utmost endeayors of government to this ma
ton from and at the time to assert neutral
rights at sea. A campaign of aggression on those
rights will find nation united behind its president
Partisan criticism is senced in the sounding of
call for the patriotism of a people.

Girl Practically Destitute, If
Story Told Attorney Is Correct

Basis of Suit Against Great Northern
Direct violation of the fourth and
filth amendments of the constitution
is one OF the charges Miss Moore
lodges against the officers of the
treatment while the steamer was at
Hiio. r. She asserts that under the
marina contract the master OF the yes
sci was duty bound ito carry and con-
vey this libellant safely and without
causing her arrest or without search
ing either her person or property and
without heaping any ind.gnity upon her.
but on the contrary to treat her kindly
and with proper respect during the
said voyage ...- Fl.
Another complaint she makes is
that after the news Of her alleged de-
tention and search became generally
known On ship00ard, she was Stunned
by the ether passengers. who, she de-
clares, refused to speak to or converse
with her. all of which, she asserts.
caused her to suffer great pain or
mind and humiliation. And the al.
legged Imprisonment, assault, search
and treatment, with hardship and
cruelty" she adds, was done in the
presence of other passengers, causing
her great shame, humiliation and dis
grace"
The girl further asserts she is a
citizen of the United States and was
born in Fredericksburg, Va, and that
she is in destitute circumstances and
has no money or property within or
without the Jurisdiction of the local
federal court. No other person is in
terested in the suit, she says, who is
able to furnish bonds or stipulation for
costs. She adds that she has a good
and meritorious cause Of action
against the Great Northern" and prays
that she be allowed to begin the suit
as a poor person under the act of Con.
gress in such cases provided.

BecF usc $Sa. which she had sewn
! into the lining of skirt, was stolen
from her while she was at the Eolca-
no House. the mysterious Dawn
Moore or Dorothy Arnold who is
suing the steamer Great Northern for
$1,000. arrived in Honolulu from Hilo
practically destitute. according to a
story she has told her attorneys,
George S. Curry and George A. Da-
Wis. The girl now has a little money,
but her attorneys say il Is not suffi!
cient to last her any length Of time.
Dawn Moore has not yet explained
her reasons for coming to Honolulu,
her attorneys assert When the ques-
tiCn as to why she came was asked
of Attorney Curry he answered:
I'm sure don't know
She asks damages from the Great
Northern on the allegation that she
was imprisoned in a stateroom on the
steamer at Hilo and searched by two
stewardesses. This was done follow
ing information regarding purported
diamond swindle. 1t is alleged she
dropped a handkerchief in which was
found note abiding to the purported
swindle. The attorneys for the girl
say that, according to her story, she
saw the handkerchief lying on the
deck, picked it up and handed it TO
deck steward.
"If the story is true" one attorney
says, and she knew what was in the
handkerchief, why did she pick it up
and deliberately turn it over to the
steward? If this girl is clever enough
to have a hand in a big diamond
swindle, surely she is clever enough
to conceal anything that might be evil
dence against her"
The Great Northern was released
Wednesday afternoon under bond in
the sum of $3.50 pending the disposi-
ton of the case.
