J>awson, haled before the house rules r committee to tell what he knew or v had heard about a stock market leak v on President Wilson's peace note or o be punished, calmly declared today that the mysterious congressman who ii told him a cabinet officer, a senator tl and a banker were engaged in a stock f< pamblinfr pool was none other than fx Representative llenry, chairman of V the committee. o Then, before his hearers had time IV to recover from the shock, Lawson ci spranj* one sensation after the other by declaring that the cabinet officer referred to was Secretary McAdoo, I that the hanker was H. Pliny Fisk of New York and that he knew the li senator hy the initial "O." si To complete the explosion Lawson went on to charge that Paul M. War- g burg of the federal reserve hoard had knowledge of the leak machinery; re- ai peated a rumor that Count von Hern- n storff, the German ambassador, had tl made $'2,000,000 in the stock market, d< and mentioned a list of well known g men whom he thought should he ques- M tioned. The committee promptly is- & sued subpoenas for all of them. R Gives Many Names. .1' Mr. I ,awson said he had been told a that Malcolm McAdoo, the secretary's a brother, knew of the leak; as did C. p TV Rnmou X. rvx orwl Stn,uo^ n n:i. ?. "% ! ??\ j vv VJU?

A Mrs. Ruth Thomason Visconti of this city, he said, had declared to him in the pres- J] enee of her attorney that Secretary B Tumulty "received his hit" and W. W. y Price, one of the White House corre- b spondents, was the "go-between for SJ Tumulty and others." I, H. Pliny Fisk, Ivawson said, was t< the hanker he referred to previously C) as dominating a cabinet officer and t* Archibald S. White, he said, had given him this information. b Representative Henry was said by sj Pawson to have told him at the conference whch preceded the opening of n the leak investigation of reports con- a necting the cabinet ofl&eer, hanker and tl senator, and also had told him of rermrtc fhnf T nnoJn?. * seen conferring1 with Bernard Barnch. nthe Wall street operator, who is said to have made a cleanup on the falling s, market which accompanied the peace F note. ir I.awson declared Henry had asked "| him on patriotic grounds not to press his charges. At no time, the Boston financier testified, did he ever say he ti had direct information. w Henry Denies It All. v When I.awson had finished his re- d cital, Chairman Henry took the stand p and swore that at no time had he \ SmSMSMSMSH I<SMSMSH?<M> ^NUAF rancc /v Going ike room for our new reduced the prices of Talis, Pants and Boys' ly now even if you h 11, as all wollen goods h > per cent in the last 6( Men's Suits and Ov Following Reduction id $22.50 grade now ) and $18 " I and $15 " | - ?

When he had concluded Lawson ose and solemnly declared that every ford he had uttered on the stand fas the "truth, so heln me Cod." with ut variation." To back it up, Iiawson said that nmediately after leaving Henry at heir first conference he laid his inormation before John O'Hara Cosrave, Sunday editor of the New York ^orld, Erman J. Ridgway, president f Everybody's Magazine, and Donald [cDonald, publisher of a Boston finanial paper. "Call these men," he demanded, and they will bear me out in what say." Almost in tears at Henry's absoite denial of his statements Lawson bmif A/1 "I'll make frood here, and I won't o to jail as the jroat." Secretaries McAdoo and Tumulty nd Mr. Price at once issued statelents denying Lawson's references to leni. The committee promptly orered subpoenas for Ridpway, Cosrave, Warhurpr, Fink, Price, White, lalcolm McAdoo, Gibboney, Barney Co., Mrs. Visconti and John It. athom, editor of the Providence Durnal, who published some articles bout "leaks."

Secretary Lane and the other mem bers of the American commissior Dr. J. R. Motte and Judge Georg Gray, told the Mexicans that the; had recommended to President Wil cnn thn /lior?a + /.u * ~ ! ' * V..?_ .( ii|iaiwn IU i?ll*XICO OI A.TT1 bassador Fletcher and the withdraws of the American troops from Chi huahua. The Americans impressed upon th Mexicans that with the dissolution o the commission the Mexcan prohlen reverted to President Wilson. The; were careful not to leave in th minds of the Mexicans the convictioi that President Wilson would accep the recommendation that an accred ited diplomat be sent to Mexico am that Gen. Pershing's force be with j drawn but the intimation that hi would do so was conveyed. In spite of the Americans' care however, the Mexicans had littl doubt tonight that full diplomatic re lations between the two government would soon be reestablished and <h:i unless unexpected complication: arise American troops will be re moved from Mexican territory withii a few days. I.uis Cabera, chairmana of thi Mexican commission, and Ignaci( Bonillas and Alberto J. Pani, th< other members, said they expected t( leave within a week or ten days foi Mexico. Mr. Cabrera and Mr. Bonil las will resume their places as mem hers of Gen. Carranza's cabinet am Mr. Paul as director general of th< government railways. Notwithstand ing the dissolution of the commissior they expressed themselves as pleasec with the result, pointing out thai with the withdrawal of the Ameri can troops the main obect of Car ranza in sending them here woulr he accomplished. The last session of the joint commission continued throughout thf latter half of the day. The American commissioners explained to th( Mexican representatives that they regarded further discussion by them ol international questions as impractical. Twice (Jen. Carranza had refused to ratify the protocol signed at Atlantic City, in which conditions foi the wthdrawal of troons had beer made and that refusal the American? construed as indicative of what might be expected if the conference? were continued. They were told ol tthe visit of the Americans to President Wilson and of the president'? sanction of their recommendation that the commission be dissolved.

FOOD SITUATION IN GERMANY IS ACUTE h e Even Clothing and Blankets May Not o Not Be Bought Without Pers mission of Police. r il Stockholm, Jan. 17.?The food situation in Germany has grown much i- worse during the last six months, aci, cording to the experience of an Assoe ciated Press correspondent who has y returned from a trip to Berlin. Pota toes are so scarce that this week's i- per capita ration in Berlin was les* il than four and a half pounds. This is 1- attributed in part to the farmers withholding shipments until February la. e when higher prices will he permitted, f but it is not denied that the potato a crop is insufficient to meet normal dcy mand. e No cheese has been on the market n since August and etrgs are unobtaint able except surreptitiously at U? to - 20 cents apiece. Berlin's daily milk 1 supply is about .150,000 liters airainst - a normal of 1.000,000, and it is imnose sible to buy clothing, shoes, stockings or blankets except by permission of >, the police. This latter, however, may t> be merely a precautionary measure. - as the shops appear well stocked with s clothing. t Chief Burgomaster Wurmuth, ac s well as the heads of other cities, com - plains that the larger towns are comi pelled to suffer unnecessary hardships because the system of distribution of j foodstuffs has failed in many respects. } In some cities the situation seems to ? be better than in others and a Rerlin , business man told the correspondent r that he had spent Christmas week in a . Rhine city where he pot plenty of . meat and bread without being- required I to show a bread card or meat card. % ? ? ^ COURT UPHOLDS VERDICTS. 1 1 Affirms Decrees for $29,(100 Against 1 ('oast Line.
