f 'WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. As a result
tf the sensation stirred up by Thomas

millions had been made In Wall street
s the result of "leaks" at "Washing

Eenate today that information concern

Stone, who made the first disclosure,
aid he did not know.
Meanwhile Mr. Lawson, who was
here, prepared, he. said, to testify be
fore a Congress committee, was in con

House rules committee, but nothing
came of It.

Mr. Henry announced afterward that
the Boston financier had been unable
to furnish any names or other definite
Information about the alleged "leak"
In advance of President Wilson's peace
Bote, and that so far as he was con
cerned the matter would be dropped.
"Certainly no sensible person," said
Mr. Henry's statement, "would ask me
to trouble the committee with a meeting-
to chase a mirage. And X must say
that so far as this matter between Mr.
Lawson and myself is concerned it is
ended.
"In a thorough conference the al
leged leak has been discussed by Mr.
Lawson. and myself. I have asked him
for the names of those thought to be
responsible for the so-called leak be
tween the State Department and Wall
street. He cannot give me a single
name. He cannot even give me the
names of those charged by him with
cleaning up $60,000,000 In connection
with the leak and is not able to furnish

Henry Reintroduces Hiaf Bill.
After Chairman Henry's conference
"with Mr. Lawson, Mr. Henry reintro
duced his bill of two years ago to
prevent the use of mails, telegraph and
telephone in furtherance of fraudulent
and harmful transactions on stock ex
changes. The bill was referred to com

Senator Stone then denounced
Thomas W. Lawson for his recent dec

would shrink from an investigation

Stone Castigates Lawson.
"I despise tnese sensational fakirs

HIGH PRICES MAY

GOVERNMENT HEAITH SERVICE
ISSUES WARNING.
Fear Expressed Disease Slay Gain
Through Diet Restricted in
Effort to Economize.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. A fear that
high food prices, by unbalancing diets.
mav lead to a wider prevalence of
pellagra in the United States during the
coming year is expressed in a bulletin
issued today by the Public Health
Service.
"As a result of Government re
searches." says the bulletin. "It was
found that pellagra is produced by an
insufficient, poorly-balanced diet. The
application of this knowledge greatly
reduced pellagra during 1916 as, com
pared with previous years.
It is feared, however, that pellagra
may Increase in 1917 by reason of an
increase of food cost out of proportion
to the prosperity now enjoyed by this
country. The great rise in the cost of
forage is causing the people in many
localities to sell their cows, and thus
there is danger they will deprive them
selves of milk, one of the most valu
able pellagra prevention foods. The
high cost of living has further served
to bring about a reduction in many
families in the amount of meat, eggs.
beans and peas consumed, all of which
are pellagra prophylactics.
In effecting economies the general
public should bear in mind the Im
portance of a properly balanced diet."

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2. (Special.)
The eon of a wealthy upstate brewer
was grilled by Captain of Detectives
Tate and members of the "murder
squad" today in the, hope of clearing
up the mystery surrounding the death
of Mrs. Grace Roberts, hosiery model,
found beaten to death in her apartment
at Fifteenth and Poplar streets on Sat

about her neck.
Much time was spent today on the
outside developments of the case.

been going on since Thanksgiving day.
Each man was determined to displace

Flatiron Theory May Be Discarded.
The police now believe the woman
was beaten unconscious by some man's
fists in a terrific battle for life in her
apartments and then choked to death
with one of her own stockings.
Detectives were Inclined today to
abandon the theory that the flatiron
found beside the model's bed had
caused the terrible injuries to her
head. The deep bruise across the nose,
they think, was more likely caused by
a fist.
Two blood spots were found on
flatiron in the room. It is believed.
however, that these probably were
spattered there in the struggle, and
that the model might have been using
the iron to defend herself.
Slayer's Mentality Probably Low.
The disfigurement of the .woman's
features led the police today to be
lieve that the man who killed her was
not a wealthy . admirer, as was first
supposed, but instead was a man of
powerful build but low mentality.
Whether this man was a discarded admirer-is
unknown.
One theory was definitely discarded
today. This was the opinion first held
that the murderer either was a Chi

the commission of the crime. Captain
James Tate, in charge of the investiga

islation, on nut growing, home-making

At the conference on agricultural leg
islation, definite action was taken
toward the establishment of a lime
plant under state management, to sup
ply farmers of the state practically at
cost.
Measure Is Framed.

Useless in Present Position.
ARRED0ND0 GOES HOME
Text of Futile Protocol Is Given
Out but Carranzas Reply With
held Move for Inquiry Is
Started in House.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. When the
American members of the Mexican
American Joint commission had finished
consideration today of General Car
ranza's reply failing to comply with
their demand that the protocol pro
viding for withdrawal of the American
troops from Mexico be ratified, there
were Indications that erforts to enter
into an agreement with the de facto
government through the commission
would be abandoned.
For the first time an official admis
sion was made that Carranza had re
fused to sign the protocol. The com
missioners said they expected to draft
their response to Carranza tomorrow.
Ambassador to Go to Post.
Failure of the commission to give
to Mexican-American relations a bright
aspect was offset somewhat by official
intimations that Henry P. Fletcher,
confirmed as Ambassador to Mexico al
most a year ago, was about to start
for his post, where American interests
now are represented by a clerk. The
report that General Pershing's expedi
tion soon would be withdrawn, regard
less of Carranza's attitude, also gained
fresh Impetus, and it was understood
Use Administration had this move under
serious consideration.
Mr. Fletcher conferred with Presi
dent WlUon after today's Cabinet meet
ing, and later referred Inquiries as to
whether ha would go to Mexico to
President Wilson and Secretary Lan
sing. No statement was forthcoming
from the White House or the State De
partment. Army Mes Favor WHkdrswsl.
Secretary Baker said no plans for
Immediate withdrawal of the troops
had been considered. It Is known, how
ever, that Army officers are pressing
strongly for their recall, contending
that In their present position they can
not do effective work toward protecting
the border; that they are in a bad
strategic position and should be
brought out and distributed along the
border, with plans perfected for send
ing a force across the line at some
more desirable point if occasion should
arise in the future.
Eliseo Arredondo. Mexican Ambassador-designate,
announced in the course
of the day that he had been summoned
to Mexico to confer with General Car
ranza regarding the relations of the
two nations. This was construed In
some quarters as Indicating a deter
mination by Carranza to withdraw his
diplomatic representative.
The fact that the United States wes
contemplating sending Its Ambassador
to Mexico City lent weight to the
theory that If Mr. Arredondo was not
continued In his position here another
envoy would be sent by Carranza.
