PEACE 'LEAK' PROBE
TAKES OJHEW LIFE
Washington Broker Testifies
Congressmen Dealt in
Stocks With Him.
EE WILL FUEN1SH NAMES
Washington, Feb. 9. New life sud
denly was injected into the "leak" in
quiry today by the testimony of
George B. Chipman, local manager for
Harriman & Co., New York brokers,
that certain members of the house of
representatives dealt in stocks with
him.
Chairman Henry called for the
names of members and Chipman
promised to furnish them.
Chipman testified that so far as he
knew no member of congress had sold
stocks "short" during the "peace
note leak" period. He said he had
no senators' names on his books, but
was unable to say whether his cus
tomers included secretaries to sena
tors and representatives.
Chipman declared that he had not
paid for "tips" on governmental ac
tivities since 1914. He found, he said,
that information be bought usually
was of no value.
J. L. Livermore, Wall street's widely-known
"three-time millionaire,"
Chipman said, wired him from New
York on December 20 asking him if
he had heard a peace note was to be
issued. Chipman replied negatively.
Livermore responded with informa
tion which Clement, Curtis & Co. of
Chicago previously had sent . K.
Hutton & Co. Chipman replied that
he thought the report untrue.
Later in the day Chipman said he
called up F. A. Connolly of F. A.
Connolly & Co. and learned that a
peace note was to be issued.
Examination of correspondents
who were told in confidence by Sec
retary Lansing on December 20 that
a note was coming then began. After
' interrogating Stephen T. Early of the
Associated Press, Carl D. Groat of
the United Press and Charles D.
Warner of the Christain Science
Monitor the committee recessed.
Bill Proposes to Raise
' Postage on Newspapers
Washington. Feb. 9. An immedi
ate increase from I to 1(4 cents a
pound in the postage rates on news
paper! and periodicals for this year
and to 2 cents pound next year, is
provided in the postoffice appropria
tion bill ordered reported to the sen
ate today by the postoffice commit
tee. ,;. .
The senate committee also recom
mended an amendment reducing the
rate on drop letters in places having
no free delivery and on rural routes
from 2 cents to 1 cent.
As a result of the long fight over
the pneumatic mail tubes in the large
cities the committee voted to con
tinue the appropriation for that pur
pose for a year from Jane 30, 1917,
.making it obligatory on the postmas
ter general to use the money for that
purpose, and provided for the ap
pointment of a commission to inves
tigate and report on the value pf the
tube systems with a view to their
Durchase by the government.
senator Hanicneaa s amendment to
prohibit liquor advertisements from
the mails in prohibition states also
was incorporated in the bill.

Two More Days to
Reach Home Ports

to the Petit Journal says that the
German government has announced

tion of unrestricted submarine war
fare, stated that neutral ships which
were on their way toward ports m
the blockade zones on February 1
would be "spared during a sufficiently
long period." On February 2 the
Spanish government asked the cen
tral powers for an extension of time
in which Spanish ships at sea in the
blockade zone could return to port,

asked the State department if some
steos cannot be taken to cease oubli
cation of sailings of vessels and pub
lication of manifests of ships going

some steps may be taken to ask
