Representative Gardner, Massachu setts, asked that President Wilson, Secretary Tumulty, Secretary of St me Lansing, white house and state depart Blent employes and officials of Ameri can embassies abroad be questioned. As the day's proceedings closed it was believed a general leak investiga tion by the house would follow. The resolution of Representative Wood, In diana, askiug investigation of Thomas W. Lawson's charge against house members, was lost sight of. tinder Wood's resolution, the committee could recommend a general investigation bnt must determine whether Thomas W. Lawsou 's statements regarding the leak questioned the integrity- of the house. A substitute resolution is ex pected to be introduced Monday. The committee decided to start hear ings at 9:30 a. m. Monday and continue throughout the day. Blames Embassy Employes. Representative Harrison insisted he believed embassy employes of financial reporters were responsible for the leak- Ala ny embassy employes, Gardner agreed, get small salaries and are sub jected to great temptation. One of them, he -said, might sell 10 shares of steel. That would suffice to give a tip to Wall street if there were a pre-arranged signal. Gardner explained ins light tor an in vestigation was because he wanted this man Lawson to "put up dr shut up." Representative Campbell said in cross examination of Representative Wood he thought Lawson was the principal gain er by the leak and had traded 300,000 shares of steel. The meeting, ended, congressionally, with flashlight photographs of the com mittee. All was W4;ll until Chairman Henry started to fall backwards in his chair off the platform and saved him self by grabbing Representative Gar rett 's chair. Garrett substituted for Henry.

I Their acquaintanceship drifted along for about three years when she said trarclner began to pay her more at tention and began to ask her to go places. She told of her promising to become his wife when she became of age and how they planned to go to live on a homestead he was taking up. She admitted her parents did not like Gardner, but she would not go with him until she was of age. The events took plane between the last of May and the Fourth of July, HM5, that culminated in the birth of the child in March, 1910, and the pres ent suit for $20,00 damages. She told how she worked in the Salem steam laundry at the collar mangle until the day before her child was born and stated she has not wotted since, and that she has been trying to be a good mother to her babv. Samuel Shaffer was culled next and told of how little, he resulv knew about his daughter. H" admitted he did not know alnything about her condition until he heard the babv cry. The mother was also called and testified that she was not informed as to her daughter's condition until she. was asked to get a doctor. Miss Shaffer declared that Gardner induced her to submit to his embraces because of reiterated promises of their marriage, and that if anything serious resulted he would stand by her. She said that after the Fourth of July, 1915 .Gardner went to the coast to take up his homestead and that when he returned the latter part of Septem ber of that year she told him of her condition. He then waatcd to take her down to Portland whero everything could be ''fixed' ' so no one would know anything about it. This she says she flatly refused to consent to saying that, she would ''see it through if she had to go alone." Finding that his attitude was not what he promised, when he called up on the telephone one day in October, 1915, and asked for her. she told him she was ''done." Concerning a statement sho is al leged to have made in the presence of a witness that ''X never will marry that scrub, and if I have to I nevter will live with him," she emphatically replied that she did not. Defendant's Version. Earl Gardner, defendant, took the witness-stand this morning in his own behalf and told his story. He de clared that his meetings with Fannie Shaffer became more, and more fre quent in the spring of 1915 and that after the season when band concerts hei'-nn. he took her to them. He de nied the first instance cited by Miss Shaffer and asserted that instead of him seducing her it was she who seduced him and caused him to fall from virtue. He testified that, on the second in stance, which took plaec down by the river in North Salem in the vicinity of the poor farm, that she asked him to fell stories, whether off-color or not. He asserted she was willing to accept his advances and was of the opinion that it was not wrong ''if they were not caught or no harm came from it."

Wall Street braced itself tor the shock of possible government investigation of the "note leak" situation today. But Wall Street, on the surface, at least, is un worried. "We are ready and the records are here," was the general attitude of stock exchange members in response to Secretary Geo. W. Ely 's order directing all members to preserve records of stock transac tions from December 10 to December 23. The street's protestations of inno cence today received added support in the telegram of Barney Branch, one of the speculators mentioned by Congress man Wood as having been in on the alleged note leak, denying he had any knowledge of it. Baruch added that he is preparing a detailed statement of his position in the matter. No formal request was made by the government for the preservation of stock market records, bnt unofficial ad vices caused the action to be taken any how. Deputy Sargeant at Arms Kenneth Romney ol' the house was in Wall Street all day. Wall Street is inclined to wet blank et the possibility of serious develop ments in the possible house investiga tion, because, the stock mnrket men say, Congressman Wood based all his statements and names on the authority of the mysterious "A, Curtis" who wrote him an anonymous letter from Wall Streot.

And the legislature of Washington will be asked to do the same. Today the Northwest Tourist association is in session in Portland with delegates from British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. Salem U represented by Ivan G. Mc Daniel, man ager of the Commercial club. The. ob ject of the association is to oombiue the scenic resources of British Colum bia, Washington and Oregon in one great trip f'or the summer tourist, and to advertise them to the world. Cali fornia advertises and receives about 11000,000,000 every vear from tourists and Colorado about 150,000,000. Now that the interstate commerce commis sion has prohibited the roads out o Chicago from discriminating against the northwest in tourist rates, there U a chance of getting some of the sum mer tourist travel. The bill to oe in troduced in the legislature provides that all the money appropriated shall be used for advertising and that the governor shall appoint two men to ap prove bills as well as to direct the work. Ileretolore, the railroads out ot Chi cago and Ht. Louis required tourists to pay an extra $17.50 for the privilege of returning home by the northwest, al though the mileage is about 300 less.
