LANSING TELLS HOW
 NOTE WAS HANDLED

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. B. This morning and for most of the first section of the afternoon Robert Lansing, secretary of state, was on the witness stand before the Leak Probe of the House Rules Commit tee. Lansing went into details ex- plaining at considerable length the confidential handling of the note. Lansing said that the note was brought to him personally by Pre- sident Wilson and he had typed it with his own hand on his own ma chine. Thereafter it was scrutinized hyA Lansing and in turn by him turned over to the official cores

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. B. Secretary Tumulty testified this morning, the first of the witnesses before the Leak Probe Committee. In doing so he said that he had no Knowledge of the matter at all. He also introduced a statement from the President wherein Wilson said that the exact facts were that MT. Tumulty was without knowledge of the matter until the note was pub 1ished and made the subject matter of news reports. Tumulty says that White House attaches were quite ignorant of the note.

 It is stated that the arguments will all be finished tomorrow, and that the decision will be reached at the latest in three or four weeks. There is no indication of what ac- tion will be taken by the railroad brotherhood men under any contin- gency. They are not talking for publication.

 Tumulty introduced the name of CTS who buy bonds and who denied the alleged personal stock transac- tions accredited to Tumulty. Tumulty verbally castigated Wood using the name directly and said that he was still awaiting an apo- logy.
 Examined Tumulty said that he never consulted Bernard Baruch in his life. He admitted to having met him formally at some functions, but

 The government brief in support of the Adamson law makes a very poor showing and is astonishing the lawyers who support the bill, at the poor effort made by the government to have it sustained. The brief pe- culiarly suggests that both compul- sorry arbitration and government

and the White House has been in gigantic conspiracy to effect a roo- bery of the people. He charged that the real object of the committee was to smother the statements made as to the leak and nothing else. Con- gressman Chipperfield resented these remarks of Lawson and told him he was big four fiusher, whereupon Lawson squared up, brandishing his fist and yelled that "he wanted a square deal"
 The testimony is fizzle and is real about the leak.

 Advices from Pershing today state that he is all ready to withdraw upon notice from Washington which is every day expected.

 Lansing said that he first learned of the leak through the newspapers and admitted that the note was sent to printers after being codified in sections also.
