Vying in interest with the summon
ing of the financiers was that of Mrs.
Ruth Thompson Visconti, who,
Thomas w. Lawson says, told him
Secretary Tumulty and others had
profited in the stock market by the
leak and that William w. Price, one
of the white house correspondents,
had acted as the go between" in the
affair and received $1,000 for his
work"
lawson, whose sensational testi-
mony Monday aroused the committee
to go to the depths Of the leak rumors,
occupied the witness stand again re-
viewing and supplementing his state
ment.
! At the outset Lawson attacked Rep.
Henry's denial of his testimony and
emphatically declared that he OF
Henry was guilty of rank perjury.
In characteristic outburst Lawson
shouted his reiteration that he had
told the truth.
when there is direct difference
of opinion stronger than a question
of veracity-" said Lawson, it is
perfectly obvious that one or the 9TH
er is committing perjury, deliberate,
rank perjury. Unless your chairman
said the things that have said he
did, am guilty of foul perjury and
am unfit to be here or anywhere out,
side the bars of jail"
Lawson again brought the names Of
Secretary Lansing, Count Won Bern
storf and Bernard Baruch into the
testimony as the men Chairman Hen
ry had told him he had heard leak
rumors about, and elaborated on his
story told regarding Henry's alleged
statements concerning them.
/ Lawson was temporarily dismissed
but ordered TO remain in Washing
ton. More than a score of witnesses
were waiting to be heard. Among
them were McAdoo, Tumulty, Price
! Warburg and others whom Lawson
mentioned as having knowledge o
tie leak. All have issued statements
regulating his testimony.

a great shortage in foodstuhs is fac.

dent and other national leaders are i'm.
plorng that every foot Of ground which
lis tillabe be used to produce something
to eat and every person who can raise
at least enough vegetables for his own
consumption.
The Monongahela Valley Traction
company urgently suggests that its en-,
ployers, in every department Of the
organization, help meet this emer-
gency by planting every available inch
of ground which may be found for that
purpose.
The company regrets that it has no
ground which could be cultivated by
it's employees, but will cooperate with
the men in any way it can to assist in
their securing soil to raise things upon
If YOU have a garden, If it is only a
two by four patch, consider yourself as
fortunate and determine to make 1t
produce more than it ever did before
To use every inch of ground in the
most efficient manner is now patriot
ic duty of every good citizen.

FARM AGENTS Co
TO ELkINS MEETING
Agricultural Problems Will
be Discussed and Plans
Made.

H L. Smith, county agricultural
agent, and John H. Boyd, his assistant,
left yesterday for Elkins where they
will attend the conference of agricul-
tural agents there today and tomor-
row. Farm agents from all the north
ern counties of the state will be in
attendance together with their assist
ants and the meeting will be presided
over by DR.. Titlow, head Of the Exten-
sion Department of the University.
At this conference h plans will be
made for the work Of the agents and
farmers during the coming summer;
plans which it is hoped will be effec-
tive in solving tile unusual economic
problems which the farmers will be
called upon to face within the next few
months. In previous years written in.
structions from the department head
at Morgantown to the agents sufftced
but because of the peculiar and UNI
usual conditions which have arisen 1t
was thought a conference would be
more effective.
Farm agents of the southern coun'
ties Of the state held similar confer
ence at Charleston last month.

postoffice department at Washington

to assist Postmaster Anderson to rent
his building to the government for a
