Oy United Press.
Washington Jan. (J. Representative
Gardner of .Massachusetts supported
his emphatic charge regarding a
"leak" of advance information to Wall
street from the Wilson peace note by
reading today before the house com-
mittee a dispatch which was sent out
by the Dow Jones news ticker service
Bhdrtly after 2 o'clock on the afternoon
before the note was released for pub-
lication. Gardner made this declaration :nd
read a copy of the news ticker report
to the house rules committee when it
reconvened to probe the leak charges.
Suspicion concerning responsibility
for the leak narrowed down today to
financial writers and embassy attach-
es abroad.
Secretary Lansing will appear be-
fore the rules committee Monday
morning. This was announced follow-
ing an executive session of the com-
mittee this afternoon.
According to the belief of Represen-
tative Harrison of Mississippi ex
pressed before the rules committee to-
day the leak was either caused by the
financial press or it came back to
Wall street'from Europe.
Following this statement the com-
mittee besides issuing subpoenaes for
the entire Washington staffs of the
American and Wail Street Journal or-
dered these publications to produce
copies of all news sent out by their
Washington representatives on Decem-
ber 20.
Representative Gardner said the
committee ought to question Presi-
dent Wilson Secretary Tumulty all
employes of the White House and
"' ' : . .a ..merit and all official em-
ployes of American embassies abroad.

ALL GRAD
OF STOCK
ADMITTED
Rule of Nothing But Registered Stock Does
Not Apply to Grady County
Free Fairs
The following statement will be of
interest to Grady county farmers:
The Grady County Free Fair asso-
ciation desires to say that in the Gra-
ly county fairs every person will con-
tinue to have a free and equal right to
show any stock that ho desires to en-
ter provided all previous requirements
aro met.
The statement that only registered
stock will be shown in Chickasha was
not correct. That recommendation
was made at a meeting held In Law tori
by county fair presidents of the slate
but did not refer to nor was it binding
upon particular county.
I believe that I can take Chickasha
.Minco Tattle Rush Springs and Ver-
den and with their support Crady
county can win the $250 first prize for
county exhibits at the state fair next
yea r.
The Grady county fair will be held
at the Johnson barns September 12-
l.'i 11 15.
I have arranged for two hours on
the first Monday in July with the Gra-
dy county commissioners to discuss
the amount of money which we will
get tor our next free fair and we want
all business men who are interested
to be present. Nothing will hapen
that will not lie in harmony with the
interests of the business' men ill Chick-

INTERESTING GAME
Exciting Contest Between Ninnekah and
C. H. S. Girls Basket Squads
C.H. S. Winning 20 to 9
Endowed with much more enthusi-
asm than was characteristic of their
playing in the first game with tho
Chickasha High school basket squad
and showing throughout the entire
time a decided Improvement in team
work the Oklahoma basketeers tied
with the locals in the high school gym
last night then in the additional five
minutes which are provided for in tho
ruies for tho breaking of ties the vis-
itors redoubled their efforts and held
the home men while they themselves
ran up their tally with two more bas-
kets. At no time did there appear any
marked onesldedness as was evident
in the first meet between the two
teams on Thursday night. Indeed from
the opening blast the visiting aggre-
gation fought with- a vast improve-
ment both in team work and in the
command of floor than was credited
them In the Initial' engagement hem.
On the other hand however Chlcka-
sha's defeat was by no means due to
any diminution of zeal for "victory on
the part of C. H. S. men for the purple
and gold took the lead from the very
start and maintained a neat margin
over the huskier team until the last
few minutes' play. Excitement rart
very high as the scores slowly ap-
proached the tie mark and each quin-
tet labored like Trojans to turn the
tide its way. During the last two min-
utes of the regular game and the five
mlnjites allotted to the' breaking ot
ties excitement probably ran higher
than has ever been evident on the
home court. An unusual defense held
out by either side held the count sta-
tionary during the final minutes and
for a time a tie seemed well nigh In-
evitable. O. H. S. had assumed the
offensive however and were playing
with greater dash and determination
than were tho Chickasha cagers. In
the (oik hiding play in spite of meri-
torious guarding on the part of Reed's
men the invaders shot two baskets
thus breaking even with tho home ag-
gregation in the dual performance by
copping the last encounter by a score
of :'2 to 28.
Stellar Performers.
Those scoring the greatest number
of points for the visitors were Bien-
dorfs the Oklahoma left forward to
whom credit is due for a large per
cent ot the O. H. S. tally. Fisher the
other Oklahoma forward also showed
excellent skill and was likewise re-
sponsible for much of the winning to-
tal. Carduer again proved the princi-
pal scoring machine for the Chickasha
squad piling up eighteen of the total
twenty-eight points made by Reed's
men. Griffith did practically all tho
other goal shooting for the home clan.
Hill and Riddle at guard maintained
probably a more determined defense
than on the night previous but could
not counterbalance the surprising Im-
provement in the opposing five. Har-
ris kept up an admirable offensive but
was guarded more efficiently than in
the previous meet.
Considerably more fouls were called
but no rough play was in evidence
notwithstanding.
The line-up was as fallows: '
Chickasha -Griffith center; Card
ncr Harris forwards; Hill Ridilt
guards.
Oklahoma Johnson center; Fishj
Iiiendorf. forwards; I.edgerwood B.i
ger guards.
No substitutes were used.
