OF
LEAK TRIO
DENIES It

New York, Jan. 29.-Pliny Fisk, a
New York banker named by Thomas
w. Lawson as the banker in the mys-
tefious cabinet member-senator-
banker" investment trio, denied at the
Teak inquiry today that he ever had
been interested with Secretary Nc
Adoo or a senator in a joint stock
account.
Congressional legislators at the re-
sumption Of the leak" inquiry prom
ised to direct their efforts mainly to
the alleged leak" on President Will
sons peace note Of Dec. II, despite
efforts in some quarters to broaden the
Investigation to include stock ex-
change methods generally and alleged
@leaks" on presidential messages.
The declaration by Representative
Bennet OF New York, a Republican,
last night, that there was a leak" As
hours before the presidents message
was released for publication aroused
much speculation as to the nature Of
proof of his statement. He declined,
however, to give any details signifying
that Mr.. WhippIe had even stronger
proof of a Teak than he possessed.
Later he said he would bring his evil

Hyurtur Hanson, No. II, the last
man to leave Winnipeg last Wednes-
day noon on the long griding, gruelling
race to st. Paul, one of the greatest
tests OF speed and endurance ever at
tempted by man or beast in the north
country, swung into Broadway of the
Great Northern right -of-way at 7:1C
o'clock this morning, closely followed
by Gunnar Tommason. the red whisk-
cred Icelander and Mike Kelly. These
three make up what is known as the
Lake Winnipeg contingent in the long
race.
Followed by a quickly increasing
vrowd the three teams of tired men
and dogs swung down Broadway at a
quick trot and stopped at D)Yis'
garage. The moment the teams reach
ed the positions assigned them on the
open floor of the garage they dropped
in their tracks and in a few minutes
they were stretched out asleep un-
mindful Of the crowd. The drivers had
breakfast at the Waldorf. The dogs
were fed, one fish each. fish frozen
as hard as a board which the dogs
went after eagerly, and at 9 o'clock
these three teams were off again down
Front street to Moorhead and away to
Sabin, Fergus Falls and st. Paul.
Shortly before II o'clock the four
teams from LePas. Bill Grayson, Joe
Metcalf and the two Compbell boys,
Gabriel and Alfred reached Broadway.
They also stopped here and when they
pulled out they were followed by
a crowd Of thousands. They left at
12:45 o'clock.
The dogs of the LIE Pas teams
seemed to be much fresher and in far
better shape than the teams of the
three Lake Winnipegers who are
leading.
The three leaders spent the night at
seven miles north of Fargo,
which they reached about 1880 last
night. Hundreds of Fargoans who
awaited the coming of the racers

of that place Notwithstanding
of that place, retoined his team at
Hillsboro and yesterday took up the
long grind again. This man is rival
ing the American Hartman in the
hard luck he is having and the pluck
with which he is sticking to the race.
Yesterday TommasOn had more hard
luck. A horse stepped on one of his
dogs at Hillsboro and Tommason-
carried the injured animal on his
sleigh to Grandin. from where 1t will
be shipped to st. Paul.
Tommason came into Fargo with
only four dogs, and although some
what sick today he is continuing the
journey.
Poisoning Charged.
Hyurter Hanson, leading the Winni-
peg to ST. Paul dog race, believes his
dogs have been deliberately poisoned.
He expressed this belief to a repre-
sentative of The Associated Press
during the breakfast stop in Fargo
this morning between 7:10 and 8
o'clock. Hanson is number eleven in
the race.
Gunnar Tommasson. number nine,
and Mike Kelly, five, who arrived and
left with Hanson here, supported Han

along the trail, meeting them at various
points. At Pembina and Reynolds the
stranger was particularly attentive.
He asked the drivers if they slept
with their dogs and at Reynolds offer

All Hanson's six dogs are sick with
dysentery, he says. Hanson asked

were responsible for the sickness of
his dogs. He says the dogs have only
been eating tullipees, the fish they
have been used to at home and are not
sick from the official food. Asked IL
they might not have been fed by the
crowds, he said no. the dogs have
been guarded and would not eat food
offered by crowds. He said the ami

clearly in the majority, so far as the
petitions are concerned.
In the senate Saturday afternoon,
the question Of printing petitions was
considered, and it was finally decided
to print them in briefed form, as has
always been the custom.
The question was raised when SEN
ator Paulson submitted two letters
opposing the bill. followed by Senator
Morkrids request for the publication
OF petition containing 100 names.
Senate Takes Board View.
The state senate late Saturday aft
ernoon took the same view of the
board OF regents issue that is taken
by the board which Governor Frazier
has sought to GUST because Of alleged
illegal appointment.
In an executive session, the senate
voted to return to the governor the
five appointments he made a week
ago. and in doing so. the senate COM
municated to thu glvernor it's belief
that no appointments should be con-
firmed till the legal status of the ques-
tion has been determined.
The senate says the matter must
first be passed on by the supreme
court, and I'm making such finding, the
senate takes the same view as does
the board Which Governor Frazier has
assailed.
The board. represented by President
Crawford, last Friday evening called
on Governor Frazier to begin the
proper legal proceedings to test the
appointments, and 1t is understood
that such proceedings may develop
this week.
New Regents Bill Passed.
Saturday afternoon the house pass
ed Representative Hagan's bill that
abolishes the present form Of the state
board of regents, establishing it
on a basis which would make the gov
ernor and the superintendent of pub
lie instruction ex officio members, and
provide for the appointment Of three
members by the got ernor. There was
no debate in the house, the bill pass
ing "a to 10. with "a not voting.
