brought into the investigation of
charges that there was Il leak to Wall

was voted unanimously today by the

1t is understood the committee finds
that Thomas W. IslWson's sensational
charges were not substantiatcd; that
II. ". Boiling. brothcr-m-law of the
president, had nothing 10. do with II

concerning the note was furnished to
brokers by J. Fred Essary and W. ".
Price, local newspaper men, who con-
nccted deductions with facts obtained
in conversations with other reporters
who had been told in confidence by
Secretary Lansing that a note was

COUNCIL TO DRAFT
new TRAFFIC CODE
Passage of Law Allowing
Cities to Rule Streets
Welcomed Here.

a now and comprehensive traffic
ordinance for Missoula will result from
the signing of a bill by the governor
permitting cities to regulate their own
traffic. Mayor II. r. Wilkinson said
yesterday that as soon as a certified
copy of the new law was received the
council would take steps to revise the
old ordinances and add the new fea-
lures deemed necessary.
The new law will mean much to the
correct regulation of traffic in Mis-
soula. Ordinances have been passed
regulating vehicles, but because of the
state laws the city authorities learned
that they were for the most part non
enforceable.
The proposed new ordinance will be
Il thorough onc-not perhaps so cx-
tenslVc in its range as the Seattle
ordinance, for insta1ce, which fills n
small booklet, but sufficiently broad
to cover speeding, parking, turning at
corners. stopping behind street ears.
carrying of lights and eliminating of
noises, etc. 1t will also probably dea,
with danger and safety zones. the
rights of way of pedestrians and We
hlcirs, and the requirements in case of
accidents.
