SUBPOENAS OUT
FOR LEAK PROBE
Scores of Brokers and Busi-
ness Men to Testify in
lawson Inquiry.

Clothed with the authority to make a
full investigation, the House Commit
tee on Rules last night sent out scores of
subpoenas to brokers and business men
to appear and give testimony with regard
I" the alleged leak Of advance informa-
tlon on the Presidents peace note to
Wall Street.
Following the action Of the House of
Representatives yesterday when the
Rules Committee was authorized to "go
the limit in the matter of the investi-
cation, the committee sat late going over
the situation and preparing to make the
prohe so searching that eventually some
thing is bound to be turned UP.
One OF The main reasons for granting
broader powers to the committee and
reopening the probe was information con-
veyed to Representative Bennett, of New
York, that the Treasury Department ON
cials had conducted an investigation and
found that private wires from an ONCE
In the State Department connected with
a prominent building in Washington
which houses the ofices of many stock
brokers and bankers. An attempt will
be made by the Rules Committee to veri-
fly this information.
TO appear tomorrow and give his promised
testimony as to tie allegation he made
upon the stand last week TO the effect
that Senator. a Cabinet members. and
a banker wcre engaged in speculating on
a joint account.
The names of the SPECTATORS must be
forthcoming. or, according to the resoiu-
u)n adopted yesterday, the House is en-
powered to punish Lawson for contumacy.
The hnancier will also be compelled to
give the name of the Congressman who
told him that Cabinet officer was
beneficiary of the leak and also the name
of the Cabineteer.
Failure on Lawson's part to divulge the
principals in these alleged dealings will
result either in his citation to the Su-
preme Court Of the District OF Columbia,
charged with misdemeanor. or else in
the House itself haling him before its
bar.
Lawson yesterday notified the chairman
of the Rules Committee that he would
Present himself before the committee to-

SECRECY CLOUDS
PEACE DEALINGS
Negotiations Cloaked by Off.
cialdom-Next Move
Confidential.

Negotiations for peace in Europe last
night disappeared in the deep and devil
Gus ways Of secret diplomacy, as the adI
ministration planned its next move in
the Presidents peace plans A cloud of
secrecy descended upon the White House
and the State Department. Neither from
the President nor from Secretary Lansing
was comment forthcoming as to the peace
situation In general, or the possibilities for
the immediate future.
Diplomatic Washington settled down to
await the outcome of the Presidents next
move, which Is generally expected to be
OF confidential nature. II was stated
last night that there would probably be
brief breathing spell at this time, while
the President waits for the belligerent na-
tons to adjust themselves to the condi-
tons brought about by the latest peace
exchanges
1t was said that the President fells that
no good can be accomplished by an ag-
gressive move at a time when public
sentiment Is aroused. The apparent high
feeiing In Germany and Austria against
the peace terms set forth in the entente
reply TO the Presidents peace note has
convinced the administration that time
for deliberate consideration OF the situa-
ton Is necessary
IL was accepted as practically certain
here that the inclination of the President
and his advisers at this time is to make
the next peace move a confidential sug-
gestion to the central empires that they
follow the example of the entente allies
and make a detailed statement of their
peace terms.
They feel that a satisfactory reply to a
request of this nature would place in
the Presidents hands all of the powers
necessary to definite mediatory action
There was little doubt last night that the
Teutonic empires would respond to such
a request
"On invitation from President Wilson
the Central Powers will make their peace
terms known" said a prominent Ger
man diplomat. Without Invitation, Ger
many will make no further move toward
peace and the door is closed. The allies
in their reply to the Presidents note,
have made known their objects of war
not their terms Terms are what you
get, objects are what you never get-and
don't even expect"
