New York Seeks Way Out.

New York, Feb. 23.-Definite meas ures to meet the food situation were considered today by both state and city authorities. Governor Whitman and some of the members of the state legislature see hope in the inn mediate passage of the food and mar ket bill already introduced by a leg islative committee which has investi- gated tho situation in different parts of the state. Tn New York city the board of aldermen and the board of estimate met to discuss possible rem edies. Fs
 The housewives in the more thickly populated districts of the city, who first called attention to the acute situa- tion, have formed a number of or ganiZations for the purpose of more orderly ayitation. The Women's Anti High Prize league, the largest of these bodies, sent a delegation to the board of estimates today to demand an ap propriation of s1,0OO,0OO to be used in buying food to be sold to the poor at cost This organization announced that if it's appeal is unsuccessful 1t would urge that, beginning Monday, children be kept out of school.
 In some of the tenement districts the boycott, however, has not been altogether peaceful. A number or women were attacked by infurlated housewives as they came out Of shops carrying meat and fish and a score or more of arrests were made yesterday.
 Governor Whitman said last night that he regarded the food problem "very serious" The food and market bill, which the governor is known to favor. contains an emergency clause which authorizes the proposed con- mission to take such measures to secure relief as it may deem desirable in case of an emergency creating or threatening to create a scarcity of food.

LEAK COMMITTEE
 BLAMES REPORTERS
LaVson's Wholesale Charges Fail
 of Standardization

Washington, Feb. 23.-The com mittee on rules has practically com pleted it's report on the ''peace leak" investigation and will submit it to the house within the next three days. It is understood the report is a matter of-fact document which presents a digest of the testimony taken, as- serts that no government official was responsible for the "leak'' and makes no radical recommendation.
 The report, it is said, will main tain that the leak" on the presidents peace note on Dec. 20 is traceable to two newspaper correspondents who furnished a forecast of the note to stock brokers. The committee, how ever is not expected to trace to these stock brokerage reports any clean up" of magnitude on the stock mar ket, nor will it be cOntended that the correspondents themselves speculated profita bly. 1t will be asserted, ac- cording to reliable information, that one of the correspondents received no compensation for his tip" and that the other was under employ at a nominal sum to furnish his brokerage connection with occasional Washing ton news
 Lawson Charges Fall Flat
 The wholesale charges of Thomas w. Lawson involving public men and tinanciers will be declared unsupport- ed b.: evidence adduced before the committee, and it is also understood the committee will reject as unwar- rarted tic intimations contained in the Wood resolution that some public official profited by the "leak.' The committee will say that there is no testimony connecting any official of the government, either ill the execu- tive or legislative branch, with the 'leak,' nor has iJ been shown that any official profted in the slightest degree from stock market speculation. It is understood that the committee finds that R. w. Boiling, brother-in- law of the president had nothing to do with the leak"
 As forecast, the committee report will point out the alleged evils of "short sellng,'' on the stock market and suggest that this is a matter to which congress may give its atten- ton. The report however, does not include any bill to regulate this stock market. This is left to the next con- gress.
 It is believed the report will in clude @ statement that members of the Rules committee and of the Standing committee of correspondents in charge of the press galleries of congress, have conferred regarding possible changes in the rules govern ing the admission of newspaper cor respondents to the press galleries and that the correspondents are expected to take action discouraging the em- ployment of any newspaperman by st1ank hrokara2a concern. even though
