The Cynthiana Log Cabin says:
Several weeks ago the Log Cabin
expressed the opinion that there was
something wrong" about that re-
port in Louisville papers, saying that
the first 1872 drafted men examined
in Larue county, all we're physically
fit and none claimed exemption. The
Larue County Heralud spoils the pref
ty story by saying that only 80 men
had qualified and that 68 had claim
ed exemption, with 200 more yet to be
examined.

TO "PICKET" WHITE HOUSE
Women suffragists Making Plans to
RetaIiate on President Wilson
With "SiIent Sentinels,"

Washington.-Woman suffragists af-
ter another futile appeal to President
Wilson for his support of the Susan B.
Anthony amendment, announce plans
for retaliation by picketing the White
House grounds with silent sentinels."
Their purpose is to make 1t impossible
for the president to enter or leave the
White House without encountering
sentinel bearing some device pleading
the suffrage cause.
The move was acknowledged to be
step in the new policy of mild mill
fancy which began with the coup in
the House gallery December 6, when a
party Of suffragists unfurled a votes
for-women banner while the president
was making his opening address.
What the White House authorities
will do about the pickets the suffra-
gists intend to leave for development.

CONGRESSIONAL RULES COMMIT

TALK IN LEAK CASE.
CHAIRMAN HENRY IS NAMED
Boston Broker Almost In Tears When
Compelled TO Give Informstion--
subpcnas Immediately issued
For Others.

Washington Thomas w. Lawson,
hailed before the house rules commit
tee Monday 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 a
banker were engaged in a stock gam
bling pool, was none other that Rep
resentative Henry. chairman of the
committee.
Then. before his hearers had time
to recover from the shock. Lawson
sprung one sensation after the other
by declaring that the cabinet officer
referred to was Secretary McAdoo;
that the banker was H. Pliney Fiske
Of New York and that he knew the
senator only by the initial 90"
To complete the explosion Lawson
went on to charge that Paul M. War
burg of the federal reserve board had
knowledge of the leak machinery; re-
peated rumor that Count Won Berns-
torff, the German ambassador, had
made $2,O00,000 in the stock market,
and to mention list of well known
men whom he thought should be ques-
toned. The committee promptly is
sued subpenas for all of them.
Mr.. Lawson said that he had been
told that Malcolm McAdoo. the secre-
tary's brother, knew of the leak, as
did c. D. Barney & Co. and Stewart
G. Gfbboney Of New York. A Mrs
Ruth Thomson visconti Of this city,
he said, had declared to him in the
presence of her attorney that Secre-
tary Tumulty received his Bit" and
that w. W. Price, one of the White
House correspondents. was the go
between for Tumulty and others"

DEMOCRAT WANTS A TARIFF
Bill Is Introduced Asking for Restora-
tion of the Payne-AIdrich Tariff
90 Bill on Rice and Sugar.


Washington.-Bill providing for the
restoration of Payne-Aldrich duties on
rice and sugar have been introduced in
the house by Representative Martin of
Louisiana. The bills were referred to
the committee on ways and means, be-
fore which Judge Martin has another
bill providing for the restoration OF
the Payne-Aldrich duty on sugar.
The ways and means committee met
for the first time to consider the prob
lens of securing the $300,000,000 ad-
ditional revenue required for the ex-
penses of government Judge Martin
is convinced that the committee will
find it impracticable to raise this
amount by additional direct taxes, and
that it will have to turn to the tariff
schedules as the more advisable source
of part Of the needed revenue. Sincs
sugar, rice and lumber are commodi-
ties which can be made to produce rev.
enue at the ports with a minimum re-
sultfng burden to the people and still
produce substantial amounts In due
collections. Judge Martin feels that
these products should be given first
consideration now that additional rev.
enues are needed.

GOING TO BOTTOM OF LEAK

Information reached Wall street on
President Wilson's peace note
Determined to go to the bottom of
the situation from every angle before
reporting to the house on the Wood
resolution for sweeping congression-
al inquiry into leak" stories, the
committee has subpoenaed all persons
and papers that it considers might
shed light on the rumors. Besides
Lawson, Bernard Barsch of New York
and several other New York and Chi
cago brokers have been to testify.
All of the kilograms sent from Wash
ington on Dec. 20, the day the stock
market spectators are reported to
have profited by advance information,

the recalling of Lawson to the stand
overshadowed among members of con-
gress all other developments in con-
nection with the hearing. Under a
resolution adopted by the house the
committee is empowered to compel
him to answer any question. The res
olution was drawn at an executive
session of the committee, which en-
deavored to make it broad enough to
cover every possible avenue of escape
from contempt charges for any wit
ness, and the house, in adopting the
proposal as soon as it was presented.

as possible in strengthening the com
