REPORTERS KEPT FAITH

Mir Harrison explained that Secretary Lansing, on that occasion, asked the newspaper men to keep faith on what he told them, and added that the newspaper men kept the faith.
 Secretary Lansing, at that conference merely announced that note had been dispatched specifically said it did not concern peace, and refused to give fur ther information of it's contents.
 MT. Wood said all he had heard was that Secretary Lansing told those at the conference that there might be some i'm portant information later on.
 MT. Harrison brought out that Wood knew nothing about Curtis, sthe broker, until he got letter from him after the introduction of his resolution for an in vestigation.
 MT. Wood replied that he had no in formation about the Otto Kahn manip- ulations," as MT. Harrison expressed it. until after the resolution was introduced

 Some of the detectives believe that if they had not come upon Lewis so sud- denly he might have left letter, The police believe he contemplated suicide by gas asphyxiation. A towel had been placed over the transom of his room and the keyhole of the lock in the door was found filled with paper They believe Lewis was preparing to end his life and was taking his own time about it, and that he had purchased the .22-calibre rifle to make quick finish in the event he was suddenly surprised
 Lewis father is said to be on his way here from Pittsburg. The county physi- clan has not ordered an inquest.
 The woman's silk undershirt that Lewis wore had blood stains on it, the police said. Lewis silk hose bore blood marks and pair of gloves found in the room also were blood-stained
 The wounds on Lewis hands may have been made by teeth, the police said.
 The Lewis family at Pittsburg has com municated with Atlantic City friends to LOOK after the body pending their ar rival. There will be no inquest
 The body probably will be sent to Pitts burg tomorrow It is at an undertaking establishment, where Elwood Powell. the Philadelphia taxicab driver, identified it as that of the man he drove to the apart ment house where the murder occurred.

Age-Herdld Notice Finds
 Heir 10 Estate After AM
 Legal Machinery Failed

Montgomery, January 5.-(Special) After every legal effort to find heirs of George Delaney of Hale county had failed and his property, amounting to $S127.64 had been turned into the state treasury. one small notice in The Birmingham Herald of De- cember 2S brought information to the state treasury Friday that the wife or DeLaney's brother, his nephew and his grand-niece had been found in Mar shall county and had entered a claim for the property. One small newspaper notice did more than the entire legal machinery of the state government could do.
 The law makes no provision for the return of money when it has been turned into the state treasury as escheats and DeLaney's heirs must ask the next legislature for the return of

No, I do not" Wood replied, emphati- cally. T do not charge that anyone prof tied by it. I am merely telling you what has been told me-" Don't you think" Henry continued, that 1t would have been better for you to have submitted these reports to MT.

the amount Until that time 1t will remain in the state educational funds.
 Little doubt is felt that those claim ing the property are the legal heirs of Delaney. Delaney died in Hale county without leaving a will. The probate judge of Hale county made ev- cry effort required by law to find heirs but failed. He disposed of the property and turned the money into the state treasury. The turning in of the money caused the publication of the escheat.
 Gadsden attorneys have shown the state treasurer that George Delaney had brother named William in, Mar shall county. He was killed in a cyclone which passed over that sec tion- eight years ago. His wife, son and granddaughter now reside in that section. If their proof as to their re- lationship to George Delaney Is suf- ficient they will have a moral claim on the amount, but only the legisla- ture can give them the money.

burg, felled the model with blow from a blunt instrument and fled after strangling her with a silk stocking. While the general belief of the de- tectives is that Lewis was temporarily embarrassed financially and may have been driven to strangle the young W oman to secure funds. the supposi- ticn that his mind was temporarily unbalanced is also given credence. A diamond ring belonging to the slain girl is still missing.
 A theory that Lewis, prompted by his alleged financial embarrassment, may have killed the girl in despera- ton because she would not become a party to blackmail one of her rich ad- mirers, is also occupying the atten- tion of the police.
 NO EVIDENCE FOUND
 Atlantic City, N. J.. January 5, Apart from his dramatic suicide, noth- ing has been found here directly to connect Bernard w. Lewis. son of the retired coal operator of Pittsburg, with the murder of Maizie Colbert, the Philadelphia artists model.
 The police said they had hoped to find a written statement from Lewis as to his connection with the Phila- delphia tragedy A careful search of his apartments here revealed nothing to connect him with the crime, but Philadelphia detectives here said they have found strong circumstantial evil dence and are convinced that he was the man wanted for the murder.

FOREIGN LEAK" SUGGESTED

Mir. Wood said that the peace message was released by the Associated Press at 12 :05 on the morning of December 21. Rep resentative Harrison suggested that in the 48 hours of the time between the peace note was forwarded to Europe and pub- lished, the information regarding it could have come back to some of the embassies. MT. Wood said he hard some intimation to that effect, but could not remember who told him. He also said that he had heard that the German embassy had re- ceived information from abroad.
 Mir Harrison referred to Secretary Lan- sings conference with newspaper men on the morning of December 20 and suggest ed that some were present who were not newspaper men. MT. Wood said he had heard intimations of that. MT. Harrison then suggested that representatives of the Wall Street Journal and Financial America were present, and that their du- ties were to get all tips that would af- feet the market He added that these journals are maintained by stock brokers and suggested it might have been that those financial reporters sent telegrams to their offices and that that was the way the information got out.

NO MEMBERS IMPLICATED

T have no information whatever in volving the name of any member or the house." Wood declared T know of no member of the House being mixed up in this stock crash"
 Questioned by Representative Cantretl, Wood said he had not consulted Secretary Lansing regarding reported leak of the Presidents S note, either before or after he introduced his resolution. MT. Wood also said that he had other information and had sent a number of letters and tele- grams to various persons inquiring about 1t.
 'It is not sufficiently developed to give at this time" he said, "but I may hear from it later. I can give the committee in private what I have heard, if it is desired"
 Representative Harrison suggested that in view of the charges the witnesses had made, he ought to remember dates as to publication of the note and other details. MT. Wood replied that the crash in the stock market came or rather eliminated, he said on Thursday, December 21.

CHIPPERFIELD OBJECTS

Representative Chipperf1eld objected to Chairman Henry's line of questioning
 and after a general argument, Henry stopped.
 Chipperfeld asked Wood if Baruch was contrib utor to the democratic campaign fund I am informed" Wood said, that he contributed s35, 900 to the democratic com. mittee."
 Democratic members protested, saying that 1T Baruch did contribute to the dem- ocratic fund 1t was to a worthy cause ana insisted that members of the United states Steel corporation doubtless con tributed to the republican fund Repub- lican members replied that Baruchs con t1putlon was 8 very material factor in the investigation.
 'ls there any effort on the part of anyone pressing this investigation to re- tard the efforts of the President to bring
 about peace?" Chairman Henry asked
 Wood.
 Not that I know of," Wood replied.
