President's Statement Criticises Com. mittee For Bringing Secretary's Name Into Matter on Hear- say Evidence + WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, -—- Much wrangling between Tom Lawson ant Repesentative Chipperfield marked the only significant action this morn- ing before the committees making:a probe of the alleged “leak’’ in the official circles here. The hearing this |morning was enlivened to some extent }by the mention of Ambassador Ger- ard as desirous of buying bonds upon {the occasion of bis last visit to the | United States, | Secretary Tumulty’s teatimony re- |vealed the fact that he had introdue- jed Gerard at the firm of Ribbs Com- |pany, stock brokers, A statement from President Wilson was read upholding Tumulty’s denial for any responsibility for the ‘leak’ jand it carried sharp criticism of the committee for permitting any possible besmirching of Tumulty's reputation upon hearsay evidence. Lawson's admission that he “profit- ed by the ‘leak’” proved a sensation of the hearing today. The ‘finance king” however, refused to divulge any names in regard to the source of the ‘feak” confession and declared that he had no direct “legal knowledge.” ——— SITS DOWN IN SEAT “RESERVED” BY OPPONENT By United Press | a thats | to legislate wages, ply to President Wilson's note in ex-|ores of Southwestern Colorado will government's fight to prevent the Ad-|/ NTO wh pe earns cere nite print) meee that eight hours shall con-! plicit and unmistakable terms, is re-|double or treble the world’s supply of|amson eight-hour law from being de- OO Rsth ate aaa Aix etaryba! his beth Ratcliff, was the first witness on Stitute a day’s work for railroad men,|garded as highly significant here, as|radium, according to,a statement is-|clared unconstitutional began this af- republican’ opponent for s seat. in.the: the stand this morning.

Woman Ladier To Wage Fight On Legislature By United Press DENVER, Colo., Jan. 8—Miss By H. C. HAMILTON United States Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 8—Within a short time Ruby Robert Fitesimmons, former middleweight aad heavyweight champion and James J. Corbett, form- er heavyweight champion, are expect-/ ed to reach far back into history, dig up the old moss-covered axes and be-| gin their feud right where it left off. The reason for the mediaeval in-| \clination is found in an approaching contest between Billy Weeks and Roddy McDonald, milldeweights from! Canada. Each of them claims the Canadian middleweight championship and each has made something of a record. Corbett claims that the Billy Weeks of Vancouver, British Columbia, does not live, while Fitz has selected Mc- Donald to carry the Fitzsimmons standard in coming ring battles. | Fitz isn’t,given to raving’ over | youngsters, but after having seen Mc- | Donald in action the one-time cham- pion made the assertion that he ex-| |pected the youngster to capture the middleweight championship.
