New York, Sept. 17-An American
steamship arriving at an Atlantic port
yesterday, from England. brought
further confirmation of the wireless
warning of German submarine re-
ported seen on this side of the ocean
and also news of futile attack on the
steamer by a U-Boat soon after the
vessel left the other side, a torpedo
passing fifty feet behind the stern of
the ship.
The wireless warning was received
at 3 o'clock last Friday afternoon,
from the Cape Roy wireless station,
at the southwest extremity of New
foundland. The message read:
Submarine seen near Nantucket
Lightship early today. She is describ-
ed as being 800 feet long carrying
one gun forward andnonenaft and
having two periscopes." aeQo
The operator at Cape Ray added
that he had tried to get the name OF
the vessel sending the warning, but
could get no reply. The message was
very faint, he said. 'n

sake of safety, altered his course six

Hotel Proprietor and Brok-
ers Needed by Whipple-
Trails Federal Employees

The Congressional inquiry into the
alleged leak on the Presidents peace
note will be resumed here to-day, the
House having extended until February
p the time within which the commit
tee must make its final report. The
extension of time was not due to the
discovery of new evidence. it was said
but so that the report could be drafted
with deliberation.
Some Interpreted this explanation as
signifyng that every effort would be
made to induce members of the com
mittee TO agree unanimously upon their
report.
The hearings will be devoted mostly
Sherman l.. Whippe said last night, to
examination Of brokers and the ac-
counts of their customers at the time
that the note was being framed and
sent. Mr.. Whipple, who is counsel to
the committee, spent most Of the day
IN conference with Representative
Philip p. Campbell, Of Kansas. ranking
Republican member of the committee.
James b. Regan, proprietor Of the
Knickerbocker Hotel, will be witness
to-day. Most Of the other witnesses, It
is believed. will be brokers. Mr.. Whip
pie declared that the admission Of two
newspaper men that they had given
forecasts of the peace note to broker
age houses was proof Of the existence
of leak.
Now that the leak has been estab-
lished," he said, "the effort here will be
to discover the names, if any, Of gov
ornment officials who were in the mar
ket"
Some of the brokers to be called to
day are we'll known not only in Wall
Street but to the public, Mr.. Whipple
said. The calling Of them is in CON

trace the leak TO its source. The names
of customers Will be demanded and rec

shares or more.
In making such reports the witnesses
