Woods Resolution Held Privileged In House Inquiry
The House held Representative Woods's resolution for a special investigation of a leak in President Wilson's peace note as privileged and referred it to the rules committee with a ten day reporting deadline. Rep Henry denied links to Lawson and Wood allegations and washed his hands of the matter after conferring with Wilson. Senator Stone said he did not intend to reflect on Secretary Lansing and noted misdeeds did not occur under Lansing's tenure. Republicans and Rep Fitzgerald criticized Henry for perceived unfairness and self promotion during Lawson inquiries as Democrats and Republicans argued in cloak rooms.
