Immediately moved that A$hibiM .

White be suposnaed.Lawson next produced a letter. "1 will

read this letter Into the record." he Said.He read a letter from Mrs. Ruth Thomas-son-Visconti, of Washington. in whichshe advised him that she was preparedto reveal to him the names of a highDficial of government and his "go-be-tween" who had participated in the aiakprofite. She offered to come to am law-son and he told that he had invited herto meet him in the Willard Hotel atWashington."She came to the hotel accompaniedby her attornek, a Washington lawyer

)f high repute and this was ber story.'Paid Lawson. "She said that the 'go-between" in the leak of advance informa-ton from the White House was WimimW. Price. White House correspondent ofthe Washington Evening Star. and thattis informant, the man who had 'leaked'the information to him was Joseph P.rumulty, secretary to the President."At once orders flew to subpoena Mrs.

Visconti.Mrs. Visoonti, said to he a stenographerby Mr. Lawson, Is listed in the directory

as a clerk, living in the Alston, 1721rwenty-tirst street northwest. This Misssconti was not at home last night.

McAdoo's Brother In Deal.Continuing his testimony Lawson re-

lated that the Wall Street firm of C. D.Barney & Co. was in another speculationin Wall Street in which the parties tothe transactions were Matolm McAdoo,brother of the Secretary of the Treasury.and Steuart G. Gibboney. Secretary Mc-Adoo's business associate, and the Secre-tary himself.He also said that report connected the

name of Paul M. Warburg, of the Fed-eral Reserve Board with knowledge ofthe speculative use of advance govern-ment information in the street."In my conversation with the Speaker

of the House over the question of this'leak." said Lawson. "I told him thename of Charles IH. Sabin. president ofthe Guarantee Trust Company. as one ofthe men having full knowledge of theseeping of advance information out ofWashington. The committee had Mr.Sabin before it and yet it did not go intothe details at all with him, but permittedhim to leave the United States withoutanything more than a most formalcatechising which elicited nothing."The committee neglected to pin lawson

down as to the source of his informationwith regard'to the Barney-McAdoo-Gib-boney c Vbination. It was evident thatthe conncting of these names had cre-Fted suwh consternation in the commit-tee and sensation as following sensationin such rapid succession that it was im-possible for the committee to get quitethe "hang" of what was going on.Lawson was then questioned by Chair-

man Henry as to the connection of thename of Secretary of State Lansing withthe leak of December 20."I have never connected the name of

Secretary of Stle Lansing, with partid--pation in 'this leak aerd.r." said 1Awsenm"But you will yourself recall that in theconversation you had with me on Janu-ary 1. the day before I appeared first onthe witness stand, his name was men-tioned and you repeated to me that youhad heard that four or five times he hadhad conversations with Barney Baruch atthe Biltmore Hotel."Lawson then asked the committee's in-

dulgence long enough to make a state-ment, but he was temporarily shelved.

Henry Asks to Be Sworn.Mr. Henry asked to be sworn in order

to make a personal statement before therommittee. Acting Chairman Pou thenswore the chairman and Henry describedin great circumstantial detail his inter-new with Lawson in Washington onJanuary 1. lie asserted that at the two-hour morning conference with the wit-ness and the afternoon interview of equellength tie did not mention any of thenames of high officials which Lawson a.-rerted that he had.lie called to witness his own twenty-

year reputation for veracity as a mem-bier of the House. tie denied specificallyevery statement which Lawson had at-tributed to him with regard to any of thenames of officials high in the councils ofgovernment which had during the courseof Lawson's direct testimony been bandiedabout the committee.The committee will meet this morning

at 10 o'cleek and Mr. Lawson will be ask-ed more questions.

MeAdoo Threatens Prison.Secretary McAdoo said:"No man should be called upon to notice

such detestable and irresponsible gossipand slander, but since my name has beenmentioned I wish to say that no moreshameless and wanton lie could he con-ceived than the rumor or suggestion thatI have been interested at any time andin any manner whatever, in stock specu-lations or purchases of stock in New Yorkor elsewhere, or that I have been con-nected in any manner whatever with thealleged "leak" about the so-called peacenote." said Secretary McAdoo."The putrid partisan politiian"s and

the putrid stock gamblers in New Yorkand Htoston are giving the country a pain-ful exhibition of the contemptible meth-ods to which they resort in their effortsto injure the administration. If any manin orm Omt of t'ongresas will assume re-sponsibility for these slanders, or if Ican secure legal proof of the guilt of sucha man. I will have him put in the pent-tentiary where he belong-. It is timethat an example be made of the foulscoundrels who make a profession ofwhispered and baseless insinuiationsagainst men in public life."W. W. Price. Washington newspaper

man, denied the story as absurd. Hielaid a tribute to the integrity of Messrs.MinAdoo and Tumulty.
