Democratic Majority Of
Rules Committee Votes
to Report Against Investi-
cation, Holding Lawson's
Charges to Be Without
Proof.
Wall Street Publication
Editor Gives His Version
AS To How Alleged Leak
Might Have Occurred
Probe to End Automati-
cally.

Washington, Jan. 11-The
Democratic majority of the
rules committee today voted to
report the Wood ''leak" resolu-
ton adversely.
The action of the committee
operates to end the inquiry.
Republicans who were willing
to proceed with inquiry were
solidly opposed by the Demo-
cratic members, who consider
ed that there was no ground in
Lawson's charges upon which
to base an investigation.
A new version of the '1eak' to Wall
street on President Wilson's peace note
was given to the House rules commit
tee today by James r. Reilly, manag-
ing editor of the Wall Street Journal.
A tip picked up, he said, by Dow
Jones, reporter in Wall street, that
brokers private wires from Washing
ton were saying the President was
about to send peace note was solely
responsible for the despatch forecast
ing the note which appeared on the
companys ticker at 2:05 Wednesday.
Dec. 20. 10 hours before the note was
published. Between 11A30 a. M, the
time Reilly said he received the tip
and the despatch of the item on the
ticker, Reilly said, he received two
messages from John Boyle, the Jour
nails local representative here.
The first was marked "Confiden-
tiaT' and told of the coming of some
sort of note and said it was not a
peace proposal. The second, in re-
ply to Reil1y's inquiry as to whether
anything was available on the reports
cleaned from the brokers' wires, was
to the effect that the reference un-
doubtedly was made to the coming
note.
about 11:3O," Reilly said, zone OF
our reporters told me that Washing
ton wires to brokerage houses said
the President was preparing to issue
a peace manifesto. There had been
rumors to this same effect abroad in
Wall street for some time. I immedi-
ately telegraphed our Washington re-
preventative. I sent him a message
about 11S40. This preceded by an
hour the filing of Boyle's confidential
message SO the thing originated in
Wall street instead of coming from
Washington"
Asked regarding news comments
sent out in their report that day re-
garding the market, Reilly said:
'"The market was very nervous that
day. It was just possible that this
was due to rumors that the President
was going to take some important ac-
ton with reference to foreign affairs -
Asked by Representative Pattan if
there had been any investigation in
Wall street of the rumor on Dec II
Nthat Secretary Lansing would issue a
note saying that the United States was
being drawn near the verge of war, he
said:
