oy tne senate.
Prompt acceptance of the report Is
expected and the much-discussed bill,
already passed by both Houses by over
whelming: majorities, probably will go
to the President early next week.
As it passed the House last year, the

Contempt Charges to Be Preferred
it Boston ian Refuses to Same
Congressman Who Accused
Member of Cabinet.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. Clothed
with new powers for forcing a wit
ness to testify, the House rules com
mittee will call Thomas TV. Lawson
before it again, probably Monday, and
demand the name of the Congressman
who, -ho says, told him that a Cabinet
officer, a member of Congress and a
broker were in s conspiracy to make
money in the stock market on official
secrets. This action came as the re
sult of insistence by the Republican
members of the House.
If Lawson again refuses to name
the Congressman and the trio involved
in his story, as it generally is believed
he will, the committee then will re
port him either to the House or the
District Court on contempt charges.
Republicans Press Charge.
This plan wss agreed on by the com
mittee today after an acrimonious de
bate between Democrats and Repub
licans on the floor of the House had
upset the generally accepted idea that
agitation over rumors of a "leak" in
advance of President Wilson's peace
note was about to subside. In the
course of the discussion Republicans
charged that the Democrats were shut
ting off the inquiry because they were
afraid of it, while the Democrats in
sisted their opponents were playing
partisan politics.
When the House had talked for two
hours and was about to vote on the
committee's report Representative Can
trill, of Kentucy, made a proposition
that changed the whole situation.
Demand on I'limon Proposed.
"Let the committee be instructed,'
he said, "to bring Thomas W. Law-
son before it and submit to him in
writing the question he refused to an
swer. If he does not answer, then let
Lawson be cited before the bar of this
house and determine whether Thomas
"W. Lawson has more power than the
American Congress.
Everybody was surprised by the sug
gestion, but in a moment indorsements
began to come from members o' both
sides of the House, including Chair
man Henry, of the committee.
In the end it was agreed the com
mittee should have five additional days
in which to report on the Wood priv
ileged resolution, a report on which
originally was ordered by tomorrow,
and Mr. Henry immediately sailed a
meeting of his committee for tomor
row morning to worn out plans ror re
calling Lawson.
Powers to De Extended.
' The Wood resolution, with amend
ments or some substitute to broaden
the committee's powers, probably will
be brought before the House tomorrow
and acted on immediately, so the com
mittee can proceed with its hearing
Monday.
At today's session the Democrats in
sisted tnat no evidence worthy of se
rious consideration had been produced
and that it was useless to continue con
sideration of rumors. The Republicans,
however, insisted that only a thorough
investigation would clear Congress of
damaging reports which have become
current since the "leak" charges first
were brought.
Lawson was assailed on both sides
of the House. No one went so far
as to say that his charges should be
taken seriously, but Republicans con
tinued to urge that, now he had made
them, he should be forced to "put up or
shut up." '
Harrison Accuses Republicans.
Representative Harrison, Democrat,
accusing the ' Republicans of pushing
the inquiry for partisan purposes, as
sailed Representative Wood particu
lsrly for introducing his resolution
when he was in possession of no facts
and could produce nothing m-- than
a "measly, anonymous letter." He said
Mr. Wood owed a public apr"gy to
Secretary Lansing, Secretary Tumulty
Mr. Baruch and others for bringing
their names into the affair.
Mr. Wood replied he had no apology
to offer for introducing the resolution,
and he thought a thorough inquiry
alone would satifsy the country.
Representative Henry charged that
the Republicans in urging the original
investigation were "in an infamous po
litical . conspiracy against the Demo
cratic Administration and the Demo
cratic Party."
He said aid had been given Repre
sentative Wood by Representative
Gardner, of Massachusetts, and that
Theodore Roosevelt also had helped in
the efforts to bring about the inquiry.
Jail for Lawson Suggested.
"Why 7" asked Mr. Henry. "Because
the President was seeking to bring
about peace and these geutlemen were
trying to tie his hands."
While insisting there was absolutely
no evidence back of any of the charges,
Mr. Henry declared he was willing that
the committee should summon Mr. Law
son again, and said he was in favor of
"putting him in a common Jail" should
he continue to defy the committee.
Whatever the action of the House
may be in relation to Mr. Lawson's re
fusal to answer questions, most of the
members concede there is little chance
he will ever suiter any penalty. The
power of this Congress to punish a per
son in contempt will expire on March
4, and it Is pointed out that Lawson, by
suing for a writ of habeas corpus, prob
ably could keep his case in courts un
til after that .te.

LANSING'S AIDE RISES
AS' AS-
REPUBLICAN NOMINATED
SISTANT STATE SECRETARY,
President Names William Phillips
Spite of Strong Pressure tow
Political Appointment.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. William
Phillips, of Massachusetts. Third As
sistant Secretary of State, was nomi
nated by President Wilson today as
Assistant Secretary of State to suc
ceed John E. Osborne, who recently
resigned. ' !
Breckinridge Long, a St. Louis law
yer, was nominated as Third Assistant
Secretary of State.
Mr. Phillips, who is a Republican, has
been in the diplomatic service for 13
years, and since the beginning of the
European war has devoted his atten
tion as Third Assistant Secretary al
most exclusively to European affairs.
His record of promotions in the service
has been regarded as exceptional and
his elevation to a post second in rank
only to the Secretary and counsellor of
the department is understood to have
been decided on despite strong pressure
to induce the President to make a polit
ical appointment.
Besides holding several diplomatic
posts abroad, Mr. Phillips was for a
time chief of the department's bureau
of Far Eastern affairs. He is 38 years
old, and is a former secretary of the
corporation of Harvard University.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 12. Plans for
the removal to New Tork of Harry K.
Thaw, who yesterday attempted to
commit suicide in West Philadelphia as
he was about to be surrendered to the
New York authorities on charges of
kidnaping and assaulting Frederick
Gump, Jr.. of Kansas City, as soon as
he is able to leave the hospital, were
discussed at a conference late today
between counsel for Oliver A. Brower
and representatives of the Thaw inter
ests in this city and Pittsburg.
At the conclusion of the conference
It was announced that no efforts to
prevent his removal are likely to ba
made.
Companion Held Without BalL
Brower, who is under arrest in con
nection with the charges against Thaw,
was today held without bail to await
requisition papers from New York.
Brower's hearing was brief. Assistant
District Attorney Black, of New York.
Informed the magistrate that the crime
with which it is alleged Brower was
connected was particularly atrocious.
Henry Scott, counsel for Brower. said
that his client had nothing to do with
the crime charged against Thaw. He
contended that Thaw was really the
only man wanted, and now is in cus
tody, and that there was no reason for
holding Brower. He said that Brower
was a business friend of Thaw's in
Pittsburg, and the papers bearing on
the Gump case, which were found In
Brower's possession, had been given
him by Thaw and that he had no
knowledge of their contents.
Tkaw'i Condition Good.
Thaw's condition was reported good
tonignt. ana unless complications arise,
his physicians say, he will be able to
leave the hospital within two weeks,
Dr. Elwood R- Kirby, of this city, who
was summoned by the Thaw family to
attend him, said the fear that Tha-
had swallowed slow poison tablets,
several of which were found in his
pockets, had been allayed. He said his
patient had shown none of the early
symptons of the poison and that he felt
sure he had taken none of the tablets.
Assistant District Attorney Black an
nounced tonight that as soon as Thaw
was able to leave the hospital requisi
tion will be made for his return to New
York. He declared that reports that
the charges against Thaw were black
mail were absolutely untrue.
we have sufficient evidence to prove
our case, said Mr. Black. The case
seems complete, and there does not ap
pear to be a chance for Thaw to prove
an alibi.

Prosecution Overlooks Need of Show

Re-Opened for Testimony.
DALLAS. Or., Jan. 12. (Special.)
The jury in Judge Bell s court tonight
returned a verdict of guilty against
W. M. Wilkins on trial charged with
defrauding Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Wilson
an elderly couple, in a business deal
which involved a transfer of realty and
other property.
Judge Bell intimated that owing to
the defendants age. Wilkins being 69,
he probably would parole him after
sentence, provided complete restitution
was made to tha Wilson couple. In
this event another charge arising out
of the case would be dropped, it was
said.
A feature of the trial was that when
the state rested its case today at noon
it had failed to prove that Wilkins did
not have title to the property he was
charged with unlawfully selling. The
defense at once asked that a directed
verdict be returned.
Judge Bell, however, allowed the
District Attorney to reopen the case
and introduce the evidence covering
this point.
