? that Connelly had said anything of an expectation of get
ting "high class customers" through Boiling's relation
ship to the president. The Connelly account, he said,
however, had been "very attractive."
; . Whipple then had Hutton produce messages which
had gone over the firm's private wires during the "peace
period" in the stock market and which he had been com
manded to bring under subpoena. The first to be read)
was the Clement, Curtis and company telegram, marked
"confidential," timed 12:48 o'clock eastern time, which
was about an hour an a quarter after Secretary Lansing
had told the newspaper men in W ashington that a note
was coming from the president.
The Message.
"I hear that state department will issue statement
today regarding economic conditions European war as
affecting neutrals," the Clement message said. "Intended
to nromote neace nrospects. What do you think of this
and how are you on stocks.
"CLEMENT."
The next was Hutton 's reply to this, timed 1:14 p. m.,
which read:
"Our Washington wire gave us similar message to
yours. Others have the same information. We put it out
as it was more or less generally known. Your message
was marked confidential and we treated it so.

One Message Lost.
Questioned on the lost mfssage
from Connelly, Hutton said It was of
class his nrm seldom saved, i on
nelly also had not kept a copy of It.
he said, but added the Washington
broker tomorrow would testify fully
before the committee.
Hutton elso produced other eom

made to various Washington sittta-

Replying to sharp questioning by
Mr. .Whipple, Mutiorr said ne aiu. poi
also asserted that his firm had no
sources of Information In Washing
ton outside of the Connelly company.
While describing the nervous state
of the financial district shortly prior
to the Issuance of the president's
note, owing to the top-heavy specu
lative accounts amassed by the "pub
lic," Hutton gave the committee a
shock by casually announcing that
his firm's outstanding loans against
margined accounts aggregated 128,-
000,000. This condition, he said.

bankers as a dangerous over-extension
that might result in a panto. The
bankers had begun to call loans he
said with the result that he had
issued a notice that his firm would
not do business except for cash or
fifty per cent margins, according to
the security.
Hutton was preceded on the stand
by Bernard Baruch, a large Wall
street operator, who testified that
solely by the use of foresight he had
made 1476,168 by selling snort be
tween December 10 and December
13. Baruch again declared he had
received no advance Information on
the president's peace note.

I further confess that it never entered

The County Board.
"The people of Buncombe county

GAS ATTACK FAILS.
BERLIN, Jan. 30. (Via Saarille.)
The recent gas attack by the Rus
sians In the Riga region 1 described
by the military critic of the Over
seas News agency in his review to
day of the Russian front operations.
"While a violent battle was raging
on both sides of the Aa river on Jan
uary it," the military criio writes,
"the Russians endeavored to offset
their failure on the Aa by attacking
at other points. About 7 p. m., they
liberated two gas clouds on the Rlgu
Mttau road. Our outposts, vigilant In
spite of the cold and the heavy snow
storm prevailing, immediately recog
nised the hissing noise and gave the
gas alarm. . la. complete order, as if
a peace maneuver' were Wfng carried
out, each soldier prepared himself by
putting on his gas mask- In a few
minutes time there 'began the ap

Simultaneously the hostile artillery
began a drumfire and deluged our

2,000 gas grenadea
"The Russians, now believing we
were smoked out of our positions and
out soldiers sufficiently excited,
launched strong patrol attacks. The
Russians, however, were completely
deceived. Not one man in our
trenches was poisoned.
"With an efficient, well-directed fire,
the first hostile detachments were
brought to a standstill with heavy
losses, so that the enemy did not dare
to carry out the great attack for
which he had prepared."

Pace AdvOcarea
Representative Page opened the
discussion with a speech in advocacy
of his bill, comparing It with the
Oates bill. He pni tribute to the ef
ficiency of State Supwlntendent of
Public Instruction J. T. Joyner, but
said that he Is a "glutton for pow

"stutters" at the principle of popular
election. He thought that republicans
would have their voice in tnese mat

Joyner as "Czar."
Senator Person talked about Super
intendent Joyner Prussianizing the
school system and being czar.
Representative Doughton spoke for
the Oates bill and while he held no
brief for Dr. Joyner, he did think It
gratuitous to characterize him as
"glujtton for power" and "Prussian
izing the schools." The democracy
should control the schools in all the
counties and this Oates bill assured
this as long as the party is dominant I
In the state at large. Doughton and
Page became Involved in sharp con
troversy aa to the past record and
caucus actions and Doughton Jibed
him with having gone into caucus
and then come out and told what
transpired. He regretted that the de
bate had reached unpleasant pro
portions. R. O. .Everett of Durham spoke at
length for election and represented
his county as greatly stirred and de
manding It. He was followed by
former Mayor Brogdon of Durham,
who told of Durham county school
progress eloquently and insisted that
there le no good reason for a change
in Durham from appointive to

of Wake schools, closed the afternoon
hearing.
At the night session Representative
Beasley opened for the appointive
system. He insisted that It Is time
for "democracy to get democratic."
He would want the elective system In

of democratic. He would -win men

S. C. Brawley, of Durham, spoke in

to discount the representations made

Senator Brenlser said that for ten
