CONNOLLY
ON PEACE LEAK PROBE

New York, Feb. IL. A. Connolly,
partner OF r. w. Boiling in the firm
OF r A. Connolly & Company OF
Washington, told the house leak COM
mittee today he did not realize the
Importance Of the telegram he sent
Il. +. Hutton & Company the day be-
fore the presidents peace note was
published He said he merely knew
by his own survey OF the situation, !"
that something would happen.
Connolly believed something was
about to happen tomorrow.
why you've been reading the
morning newspapers, haven't you?''
Congressman Campbell asked ss
Connolly followed z. F. Hutton on
the stand Hutton expressed doubt
that George A. Ellis. Jr., a member OF
the Hutton firm, can reach here be-
fore Sunday for testimony. Repre-
sentative Campbell dragged Connolly
through events leading up to the ad-
mission OF r. w. Boiling to the Con-
molly firm. He denied Bolling's con-
nections had anything to do with his
investment of $50 900 in the Connolly
Arm.
Isn't II fact?" Campbell thun-
dered. that Mr. Boiling was strug-
Cling young real estate dealer in
Washington"
IL would not call the owner OF one
OF the biggest department stores in
Washington struggling young man.
Connolly replied.
Campbell wound up by asking re-
garding speculations OF members OF
the Connolly Arm. Connolly denied
he had dealings for his own benefit
Congressman Chipperfeld tried
without success to get m admission
from Connolly that rumors could not
have prompted the message sent to
Hutton.
Chipperfield expressed doubt that
rumor had started the message. Con-
molly declared his tip came from some
person In crowd and that he did not
attach much importance to II. He
said he sent the message only to Hut
tonN& Company. but regarded 1t only
as a matter Of gossip, He said It was
of no Importance in his mind.
why didn't YOU write IT," Chip
periield asked.
Il did not consider It urgent"
Ibid any member OF your firm send
a message to Chicago on Dec. 90"
Chairman Henry asked
mo sir know no one in Chicago
and we have no correspondent there.

TAFT DENDUNCES
! GERMAN BLOCKADE

Concord. n. II. Feb. Former
President Taft. speaking before the
Legislature here today, denounced
Germany's declaration OF unrestrain-
ed naval warfare, calling II gross
ly unwarrahied expansion of the
rights of blockade"
Taft said:
The dangerous crisis in our re-
lations with Germany, forced by her
declared intention to sink neutral
vessels engaged in trade with France
and England, their crews and pas
sengers without warning, by submar-
Inc warfare, is grossly unwarrant-
cd expansion of the rights OF block
ade, which belligerents have In in
ternational law against neutrals.
1T greatly emphasizes the neces-
sity for Fastening adequate military
and naval preparedness against I'M
Just aggression, II also takes away
the flatterlng unction that we are
now so remote from a European war
that We should decline to enter u
world league to enforce peace, Such
u league in the future will be as use
full and needed a protection to us as
our leadership and participation in
IL are necessary to It's formation ana
wise guidance, II Is our duty to our
selves and to the world to help II
protect itself against the horrors
OF another war"

who know about what the crop was
then. In the windows and on the
counters and desks of business places
around town are micro samples
of corn. taken at random from vari-
Gus farms about the county. and the
grade and finish is splendid. 1t is
reported that many growers are even
now selecting from the standing corn
the seed for the coming year.
This crop has had some very close
squeaks in its starting. growing and
ripening. The spring was late, wet
and cold. The summer was favor
able, except for a threatened hot
wind, but as August closed the
weather continued cool. September
opened with cool weather, and in
places there We're heavy frosts, which
struck this county only in isolated
spots. and not seriously. Then came
the warm rain, and though the
weather has been warm, ii has been
so moist as to cause considerable APP
%prehension by those who were not in
touch with the actual conditions.
This attitude was without cause.
however, and it now bids fair to come
to a most successful harvest.
