The announcement reads that "stu-
dents over twenty-one years old active

It Is pointed out by the faculty that
trained study is what has made the
German salesman the greatest Of his
kind in the world. The course will be
of three years.
Professor Edwin R. A. Seligman,
head Of the department Of political
economy Of Columbia, asserts the new

situations Of New York.
Arrangements have already been
made with the National City bank

Mentions Representative Henry az
mysterious Congressman Who Told
Him a Cabinet Officer, Senator and

Gambling Pool.
Washington, Jan. 16.-Thomas w.
Lawson, hailed before the house rules
committee to tell what he knew or
had heard about a stock market leak
on President Wilson's peace note or
be punished, calmly declared that the
mysterious congressman who told him
. cabinet officer, senator and bank
er were engaged in a stock gambling
pool was none other than Representa-

tee.
Then, before his hearers had time
to recover from the shock, Lawson de-
clared the cabinet officer referred to
was Secretary McAdoo; that the bank
er was H. Pliny Fiske Of New York
and that he knew the senator only by
the initial co."
To complete the explosion Lawson
went on to charge that Paul NJ. War
burg of the federal reserve board had
knowledge of the leak machinery and
repeated rumor that Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
had made $2,O00,000 in the stock mar
ket
Says Others Knew Of Leak.
Lawson said he had been told that
Malcolm McAdoo, the secretary's
brother, knew of the leak, as did C..
D. Barney & Co., and Stewart G. Glib
honey of New York.
A Mrs. Ruth Thomson Visconti OF
this city, he said, had declared to him
in the presence of her attorney that
Secretary Tumulty received his Bit"
and that w. w. Price, correspondent
Of the Washington Star, was 1.-THE go
between for Secretary Tumulty and
others"
Lawson 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 had d.
rect information.
When Lawson had finished his re.
cital Chairman Henry took the stand
and swore that at no time had he
mentioned to Lawson the names the
hnancier brought out on the witness
stand; that he had no Information
then and had none now of his own
knowledge; and denied generally and
completely all of Lawson's testimony
relating to him.
When he had concluded Lawson
rose and solemnly declared that every
word he had uttered on the stand was
the truth, so help me God, without
variation"
