LAWSON HINTS
AT HIGHER-UPS
IN LEAK PROBE
Broker Refuses to Give Names Unless
Promised a Formal Inquiry of the
. Stock Exchange Says Over Mil
lion Dollars' Profit Made by Higher
Dps Through Stock Speculation.
v (WASHINGTON', Jnn. 9. The leak
investlKation seemed to make lis first
progress toward some definite point
today when Thomas W. Lawson,
after much questioning and urging,
promised that should the house or
der a formal inquiry lie would dis
close the names of the cabinet officer,
the senator and the New York
broker, who he said a congressman
told him, were engaged in a slock
gambling partnership and had profit
ed through advance information of
President Wilson's peace note.
To disclose the names to the house
rules' committee Lawson repeatedly
refused, even when confronted with
three separate resolutions to put him
In contempt, for two reasons:
Jjiwson's Iteasons.,
First, he contended the rules com
tnottec had no power to conduct a
thorough investigation. Including one
f of tho stock exchange such as he
urged and ho would not be assured
of an investigation, if he disclosed
the liarees.
Second, Lawson said, iie consider
ed that disclosure of the names at
this time would have a disastrous ef
fect for the country and the admin
istration, in preference to that, he
preferred being punished for con
tempt of congress.
Congressmen questioned, cross-ex-nmined
and pleaded in vain with the
Hostou financier to give the names of
tho informing congressman, the cabi
net officer or the senator.
Hints nt lllgher-I'ps.
"I cannot name the cabinet officer
to whom I have referred without
mentioning another official of a
higher position," said Lawson, "and
that would be more serious than if 1
cast a cloud over the entire congress
and was sent to jail myself for life."
All through his testimony Lawson
hinted at names "higher up," but no
amount of questioning would bring
him down to a definite statement.
When the committee recessed for
lunch the members seemed to think
they had gone as far as they could
with Lawson at this stage so they ex
cused him as a witness temporarily,
but told him to remain within juris
diction of the committee until the
resolutions putting him In contempt
ere disposed of.
Wants Kvchnnse Pi-oIknI.
At today's hearing Lawsou fronk
ly acknowledged he was more inter
ested in a congressional investigation
of the New lork stock exchange,
which would result in remedial legis
lation, than he was in investigating
the "leak" on President Wilson's
peace note. In the course of the dis
cussion of the unnamed trio of whom
the congressman is said to have
spoken. Lawson declared he not only
would give a special committee their
names, but also tho amounts of
money they were supposed to have
made from stock transactions. Law
son promised to furnish competent
testimony.
"Will you give their names?-'
Chairman Henry asked.
"I will go further," said Lnwson.
"I will name amounts of money;
great amounts of money. Jlorc than
( 1,000,000. "
Representative Garrett then de
manded that Lawson give the names
and when he reiterated his refusal,
.Mr. Garrett introduced a motion to
compel him to answer. It was laid
aside for action with the three pend
ing contempt resolutions.

"I had no information of any na

Railroad Attorney in Argument Be
fore Supreme Court Declares That
Atlamson Law Is Not Constitution
al Regulation by Congress Justice
White Interrupts Frequently.
WASHINGTON. Jan. n.- The ureal
loyal battle over the constitutionality
of the Adamson act continued today
in the supreme court with both sides
freiniently bciny; interrogated from
llie bench.
The attack of the railroads on the
law was practically closed and to
morrow the government lawyers will
make their final nijjuincnls in its de
fense. In presenting the railroads'
case. Walker I). Mines, the chief cmni
sel. laid stress n the argument that
the law is not a constituiiomil regu
lation bv congress of interstate eom
incrce, but merely a wage-l ixinv
statute.
Me denied thai congress had the
right to fix wages. and that there is
no analogy between rate and wage
fixing. White Asks Quest ioiLs.
Chief Justice White and other jus
tices freijiicntly interrupted , him.
Justice While's ipiestions were ap
parently designed to draw out argu
ment regarding the comparative au
thority of congress to prescribe wages
as well us rates.
'('an congress aulhnrizc the inter
state commerce commission to fix
railroad wages?" asked Justice Day.
Mr. Mines replied it was doubtful
unless wages were abnormally low
and should interfere with Irannporta
tion. Asking if the bro! Inn-hoods'
wage coat raids were fixed prior to
lDlli, Justice Day said:
"Shouldn't this court take judicial
notice of the fad that there has been
a great increase in the cost of living
since these wages were fixed?"
Ienies Congress Power.
Mr. Mines a nsweiVfl that the fact
"would tint justify the court in hohl
inr llml evil existed which would jus
tify congress in exercising a power
even if it had that power.'1
'Jf there is no power, there can be
nn justification for it s attempted ex
ercise, " tiie chief justice observed.
'('oni;rc.s has no power to pre
cril)e waes hecau.se they have no
substantial relation to safety and ef
ficiency in this euse,'' replied Jir.
Mines.
"The direct object was for the ben
efit of particular cases,'' he contin
ued. "Any el feet on public interest
is incidental.''
''Then you arue that this is a reg
ulation of wac;es and of private rela
tions between employers and em
ployes remote from service.''' asked
Justice Pitney.
''It is a most remote regulation of
commerce," Mi-. Mines answered. Me
added that 'the law would undoubt
edly cause increased rates.
PRESIDENT TO AID
WASHINGTON, Jan. H. Renewed
pleas to President Wilson to support
tho constitutional amendment for
women suffrage were made at the
white house today by a delesatfon of
300 members of f ho congressional
union for woman suffrage, who pre
sent memorials on the recent death
of Mrs. Inez Mflliotland Itolssevaiu.
The women had arranged for several
speeches, hut because of the limited
time at the disposal of tho president,
instructions were issued at the white
house that only one woman could
speak.
President Wilson told the women
he could not understand why more
suffragists did not realize that the
democratic party was doing more for
them than the republican party. He
said ho had always done his best for
the movement and would continue to
do his best.
Miss Mary Younger and Mrs. Sarah
Uard Kieid, both of San Francisco,
spokesmen for the delegation, urged
the president to lend Ills support to
the pending amendment for suffrage
and give up his opposition.
The p ret-blent replied lie hjtd not
