today Announcement has been made o
the Bio Chemistry department of the
university, that tethelin. the substanri
which controls growth hns been isolated.
Thig substaonee, a fluid, is declared to

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

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

i of Pocatello, Idaho, and of meeting
the defendant about three weeks later.
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."
Regarding the Fourth of July inci

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

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

whose name is A. Curtis, today denied

Want $25,000 a Year Spent
In Inducing Tourists to
Visit Northwest
The legislature to meet in Bttlesa
next Mouday noon will be asked for an
appropriation of $25,000 per annum for
two years to put on a gigantic odvi r
tising campaign to attract tourists to
the northwest. 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.
