Septem ber 30, 190S, ground was broken for the present edifice which was dedi cated in January, 1910. In 1912 the twentieth anniversary of the organization was celebrated and in June, 1915, the twenty-fifth anni versary of the Sunday school organi zation was observed. The late Dr. T. T. Everett, called a meeting May 17, 1890, and appointed a committee to find a suitable place to start a Sunday school. At that time Dr. Everett was pastor of Messiah Lutheran church. One later a room was secured in the Kelker Street Markethouse, and on June 1, the Augsburg Sunday school was or ganized with 225 members. The site of the present Augsburg church was pur chased August 24, 1891; organization of the congregation with 98 charter members following January 10, 1892.

Local Man Invents Traffic Signal Lights For Autos F. L. Wolfe, u paint broker of near Shoop's Church, has Invented a safe "T" traffic signal light for automo biles which he believes will be a big success commercially and has applied for patent rights. The signal is in the shape of a T, each of the cross pieces containing lights—one red. the other green—and the upright contains a white light. By pressing a button, the driver can flash a red light when he wishes to notify a traffic officer of a desire to go to the right; the green if he intends to turn left; the white if straight ahead; and all three if he wishes to corrie to a dead stop. A feature not yet worked out will be an arrangement wheTeby the dead stop signal will be flashed whenever the emergency brake is thrown on. SUMMON FINANCIAL NEWS SERVICE MEN [Continued From First hw] bell. Republican, to have the New | York and Chicago Stock Exchanges notify all their members to preserve their sale slips of from December 10 j to December 23 was adopted. Announcement was made by Chair man Henry that Bernard M. Baruch who is declared by the mysterious "A. j Curtis" to have profited by the so- i called leak and Otto 11. Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, whom i Representative Wood suggested should be_ called, would be here Monday to testify. On motion of Representative Henry, I Mr. Baruch was ordered to bring be fore the committee all of his brokers' commission slips from December 10 to December 23. I Cliicf Beneficiary Representative Chiperfield, of Illi nois. Republican, declared at the hear ing that he understood Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, had been the chief heneflciary of the falling market which j followed the President's peace note. Representative Wood, author of the inquiry resolution, had been called to the stand and a wrangle between Re publican and Democratic members had been precipitated when Repre sentative Harrison, Democrat, asked Mr. Wood why he had not satisfied himself as to the identity of the mys terious "A. Curtis." "Representative Wood is not the author of the charges under inquiry here," protested Mr. Chiperfield, "and his motives cannot be impugned. I think that we are losing sight of the fact that these scandalous charges were made by Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, and it is my understanding that Mr. was the chief bene ficiary of this falling market. Representative Harrison, Democrat, called attention to the fact that Mr. Wood's resolution was introduced be fore had made any statement or before the letter from "A. Curtis" alleged New York broker, had been received. "The question," Mr. Chiperfield in sisted, "is whether there was a leak or whether government officials im properly profited by it." "Do you think there was not a leak?" asked Representative Campbell of Mr. Harrison. Blames Wall Street Papers "Yes," replied Mr. Harrison, "but I think the leak came from the repre sentatives of those two Wall street papers or else, the leak came back from foreign centers." Representative Gardner, of Massa chusetts, who on the floor of the House on January 3 said that ho knew there was a leak and that the whofe stock exchange transactions showed it was then called to the wit ness stand. Representative Gardner testified he was convinced there had been a "leak" because at 2.05 p. m. December 20. ten hours before the peace note was released for publication and four hours before it had been placed in the hands of the news agencies, the fol lowing dispatch was sent out over the Dow Jones & Company ticker: "The renewed selling of the market is due to reports received by brokers' private wires from Washington to the effect that the administration wfll. in the near future, address to the bellig erents some suggestions or proposals in regard to peace. Nothing definite is obtainable in administration cir cles." There's the Proof! "There is your proof of a leak," said Mr. Gardner. "Miracles don't go on the Stock Exchange, and Dow Jones & Company don't deal in prophecies," Mr. Gardner added that his attor ney would be here next week and by submitting figures showing the fluctu ations on the Stock Exchange on De cember 20, convince the committee that there had been a leak. "If you find a prima facie case that there was a leak you cannot take the position that you will do nothing at all about it until some one informs you as to the names of those who pro fited by the leak or the names of those responsible for the leak. Who Did It? "It seems to me that the right way to go about the matter is to find out from the President who he talked this peace note over with and then sum mon and find out whether there was any way in which they might inad vertently have let the cat out of the bag. Next, 1 should get a list of those employes of the White House and the State Department and of our embas sies abroad who handled this particu lar peace note. I think you will find that list quite formidable in length." "Have you any evidence that would connect any one at the White House with the leak," asked Chairman Henry. "None whatever," said Mr. Gard ner. "I have nothing but anonymous statements and letters which are worth nothing as evidence." "Have you any evidence that would connect any one at the State Depart ment?" "No, nor any one else," Gardner re plied. "I have no evidence that I con sider worth the paper it's written on." (iardnrr Not Sunplolou* of Tumult} 1 Representative Gardner said he ab solved Secretary Lansing and Secretary Tumulty of all suspicion. Representative Campbell, Republican, said there was no disposition on the part of the Republican minority to make political capital in this matter but that he considered it deplorable that thre was an apparent attempt to "shield" any one in the executive departments of the government. Mr. Harrison, Democrat, objected to the suggestion that any "leak" came from the government departments and insisted the leak was through represen tatives of the Wall Street Journal and Financial America. He related how Secretary Lansing conferring with newspaper correspondents on December 20 had told them in confidence that a note to be published later had been sent to Europe and that the majority had respected the confidence. Tumulty Would Appear "The other newspapermen kept faith," he said, "but it appears that thfe rep resentatives of the Wall Street Journal and Financial America did not and it went out over the ticker ijnd the mar ket broke." Chairman Henry said Secretary Tu multy had told him he wanted to ap pear and Representative Harrison said he had talked with Secretary and that the Secetary expressed a very great desire to come before the com mittee." Mr. Tumulty said to me, said Mr. Hen ry, that lie would be glad to come and appear before the committee. Neither Secretary Lansing nor Mr. Tumulty had been asked to come.
