Motion Was Made to Cite Law

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Continued

gressmen told him were in a partner
ship for stock gambling He said a
banker cabinet member and United
States senator were in the partner
ship he was told Of Lawson ex.
blamed he was already under con

fair for the committee to proceed with
this hanging over his head,
Later Lawson promised the house
rules committee he would disclose
the names of the cabinet official, sen-
ator and New York banker, whom he
said congressman had told him were
engaged in a stock gambling partner

disastrous to the nation and admins
tration. He said another name might
be mentioned which would bring even
more serious consequences.

GRAIN ELEVATOR AT PIER
Prope sition Was Discussed by the
 Commission at the Capitol.

The members of rivers, bridges and harbors commission, of which Govern or Holcomb is a member, held a ses- sion in the office of the governor, on Tuesday afternoon, for the main pur- pose of discussing the feasibility of constructing a grain elevator on state property near the state terminal pier at New London. The session was held in connection with the bill introduced by Senator James R. May, which pro- vides for an appropriation of $50O, 900 for the purpose. It was stated that the grain elevator would make the terminal pier complete for the pur- pose for which it is intended, and that the railroad connections would make the elevator practicable. as an outlet for the grain fields of the west.
 It was also stated with grain as an outward cargo. the real use of the ter minal for a foreign steamship route was practically assured. There was intimat tion that if the state was not inclined to build the grain elevator, permis sion might be asked from the state, by corporations, or individuals, or both. to erect the elevator as an in veStment- It was also intimated that while an appropriation of $500,000 was asked for in the May bill, that the grain elevator could be erected for a considerably less sum No decided ac- tion was taken at the session. but the project will be given further consid- eration, before definite action is taken by the general assembly.

 ''In view of this situation and these considerations, recommend that pow CT be given to your governor to take a census, classified with a view of their ayaiiab bility for. the various activities Of war, of the men of the state which war would call into acquisition. If I am granted this authority l may from time to time consult you further as the work progresses, especially if find that it promises to be expensive. I believe that Sufncient information for our immediate needs can be secured at small expense. Much of 1t is already in the possession of various state and departments, chambers of commerce and similar civic orKaniza- tions, and can readily be collected and made available, and I am confident that volunteers can be secured to do whatever is necessary outside of the clerical work involved.

Apparently Unable to Resist
Pressure and Being Forced
Back Rapidly

By ASSOCIATED PRESS, June Is.
The British campaign in Belgium
gives signs of developing into one Of
the most important of the war. The
Germans apparently unable to resist
the pressure being applied to them
are being forced back rapidly. 1t is
probable that they are preparing for a
further retreat. The correspondents
at the front report that the Germans
big guns have been withdrawn to the
extreme limit of their range to the
east and southeast of Messines.

seven miles.
