TREATY LEAK
CHARGES ARE
NOT PROVED
Elihu Root and I'll. P. Davi-
son Testify at Senate
Hearing.
RUMORS FOUNDED
ON JUST ONE COPY
Treaty Copy Said to Have Been Pro-
cured by Bribery Given
to Red Cross Head
in Paris.

peace treaty reached private hands
in New York and thus stirred up a
sensation in the senate, was estab-
lished today at a two-hour hearing
before the foreign relations com
mittee.
Senator Lodge revealed that the
copy he saw was shown him by $lihu
Root, a former secretary Of state.
Mr.. Root told the committee, he
got it from Henry P. Dawson, a
member of the Morgan banking
house, and head of the Red Cross
and Mr.. Dawson, in turn, testified
it was given him in Paris by Thomas
w. Lamont, another Morgan partner,
attached to the American peace mis-
sion.
J. P. Morgan and Frank A. Van
derlip, retiring president of the
National City bank, also before the
committee, said they never had seen
a copy.
With that, the committee adjourn
ed without setting a date to con-
tinue the hearing, and with members
on both sides of the treaty contro-
versy saying privately that the in
vestigation apparently was over.
Received Copy as Red Cross Head.
Mr.. Dawson said he secured the
copy to clear up the status of the
Red Cross under the League of
Nations, and never had used it in q
financial way. He had shown it to
no one except M. Root, he continued,
the former secretary was being con-
suited by the American mission.
Mr.. Root gave it as his opinion
that there was nothing improper in
the way the treaty reached him and
that he was free to use it as he chose
There could be nothing secret about
it, he told the committee, because
the German government made it
public.
Under questioning, Mr.. Root, who
appeared in the inquiry voluntarily
said that while the senate was with
in it's rights in asking for copy
after the treaty became public in
Germany, President Wilson was
within his right in Withholding it if
he chose.
Inquiry Clears Diplomats.
All the witnesses said they had
heard rumors Of other copies in New
York, but did not know whether they
existed. Like statements We're made
in kilograms to the committee by
Jacob Schiff, of Kuhn, Leob and
company, and Paul Wa,turg, for
merly partner in the san,e firm.
Tonight, the inquiry, ordered BY
the senate last week, seemed to have
reached a standstill because 10 one
had any further Witnesses to sug-
gest. Senator Lodge and Senator
Borah, Republican, of idaho, who
made the revelations which started
the investigation, said they corsid-
cred all their statements in the SEN
ate had been proved, and Senator
Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebraska
author of the investigation, reso]u.

Wilson Seeks to
Stop Alien hfz"n

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.--To prevent
an influx of aliens into the United
States after oeace is declared, Presi-
dent Wilson in message to Congress
to-day asked that the passport law in
effect during the war be continued for
one year after the proclamation of
peace.
The President asked for an appro-
prlation of S750.00O for the use of the
State Department in administering the
law during the remainder of the fiscal
year and to enable it. to increase its
organization abroad. The present or
ganization, The message said, now is
overwhelmed with applications for
passports.
Conformation from the agents of the
governments III foreign countries" the
President wrote, "indicate that as soon
as the existing restrictions upon travel
are removed, many persons will seek
admission to this country, and that
among the number arc not only persons
undesirable from the point of view of
becoming future citizens, but persons
inadvisable that they should be per-
mitted to enter the United States.
"The experience gained during the
war shows that an efficient system of

matte and consular officers in foreign
countries, can he depended upon to cx~

workmen The full text OF the rcsolu
tion follows:
Whereas, The high cost of living
needs to be abated by diligent eff
clent and conscientious labor. by
thrift and by avoidance of waste and
extravaganza; and
Whereas, The price of commodities
is regulated by the days labor of
man and the real unit of value or
the unit of compensation is not

things. meaning the average rrice Of
everything we use and consume,

fixed. regula ted. raised or lowered
by the average compensation re-
ceived for one hours work by every
man and every woman; and
Whereas, Wc believe tho only sure
remedy for tho high cost Of living
is increased production and the stab
i'ization of prices in conformity
with wages now being paid; and
Whereas. We believe any workman
who demands greater proportionate
return for his labor than his fellow
workmen in other lines are getting is
as guilty of profteering as a grocer
who charges exorbitant prices for
the necessities of life. and that in
creases in wages paid to certain
classes of workers by the govern
ment or others will result in higher
prices being set by the profiteers
for the necessities of living to all
purchasers alike. 1t is, therefore,
Resolued, That the persistent and
unceasng demand of workmen en-
ployed in all classes and kinds Of in
dustries for shorter days work
and an Increased wage IN order TO
meet the present high cos, of living
is uneconomic and unwise and should
not be encouraged.
Resoired, further, That private mo-
nopolies should be controlled and
profits restricted to a rate that shall
be fair to the consumer;
Reaolved, further, That unnecessary
exports of food and clothing be re-
stricted and that all stores of hoard
ed supplies be uncovered and placed

Resolred, further, That copies Of

Baltimore Mayor
Cool to de Valera
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
BALTIMORE, Aug. 25.--Thc two most
noteworthy features of Eamon de Val
era's visit to Baltimore to-day were
the refusal of Mayor Broening to re
ceve him officially as president of the
Irish republic and Cardinal Gibbons,
courteous reception of him and timely
suggestion concerning the meeting at
night: "That it be characterized by
wisdom, judgment and discretion so It
may enlist new friends to your cause"
The Irish leader was accorded great
reception on his arrival at Union sta
ton by several thousand Anne erican citi-
zens Of Irish birth or extraction.
Then a party of prominent Irish men
and women escorted him to City Hall.
They lined up in the reception hall. 1t
had been planned to present the visitor
with set of resolutions adopted by
the city council inviting him to Balti-
more.
When the mayor entered Stephen
McDonouch handed him the resolutions.
The MAYOR quietly informed him that
he could not make the presentation.
nor could he recognize the visitor as
the president of Ireland. Turning to
Valera. the mayor took his hand and
said:
81 welcome you to Baltimore as vls-
itor and hope your stay will be pleas
ant" II thank you" said de Valera II
am convinced that the Irish Republic
has many friends IN Baltimore.
