This action came after a statement
by the committee's counsel, Sherman

after the peace note became public.
Oliver Harriman, a broker, testified
that he carried such a big "short" on
his books, his operations dating from
November, but he declined to dlvolve
the customers' names.
Telegram in Evidence.
In oonnectlon with that account,
however, there was put In evidence a
telegram dated New York, December
20, and sent over Mr. Harrlman's

ciuarters the prisoners have and said
there was lack of spiritual training

ORDERF.D TO STEAM.
NEWPORT NEWS. Va.. Feb. 18.
Three Dutch steamers which have
been at anchor here for the past few
days today received orders to steam.
The steamers came here for orders
following Germany's announcement
of unrestricted submarine warfare.
The soejdyjk and the Zuidardyjk ft

went down the cellar and found some

economic condition of Europe?" This
was signed "J. D. L." The answer
was "no."
The fact that the Initials corre
spond to those of Jesse U Livermore,
a well known speculator, known to
make his headquarters at Mr. Harri
man s' offices, was called to the atten
tion of members of the committee at
the close of the hearing, but It was
explained by counsel the question of
the speculator's Identity was not
pertinent.
Asked by Representative Bennet to
state roughly the amount of "J. L..
U's" promts,. Mr. Harriman said he
could not do that offhand, but would
have it computed. It was pointed out
in Mr. Harrlman's testimony that most
of the short sales involved in this
profit were made before the "leak"
occurred.
Through Mr. Harriman there also
was brought Into the record for the
first time evidence of a public offtoial
at Washington dabbltrfg In the stock
market. Mr. Harriman said that on
December 21 he bought for a con
gressman fifty shares of I'nlted Staes
Steel on the long side. He declined
to give this customer's name also, and
on a fair footing with those abroad.
