LAWSON WILL
DISCLOSE NAME
Financier Promises to Tell
Who Leaked" if Congress
Orders an Enquiry

Washington, D. c.. jan 9. The
leak investigation seemed to make It's
drst progress toward some dennlte
point today when Thomas w. Lawson.
after much questioning and urging,
promised that should the house order
aformal enquiry. he would disclose the
names of the cabinet officer, the sena'
tor and the New York broker. who,
he said congressman told him, were
engaged in a stock gambling partner
ship and had profited through advance
information of President Wilson
peace note.
To disclose the names to the house
rules committee, Lawson repeatedly
refused, even when confronted with
three separate resolutions to put him
In contempt, for two reasons.
First, he contended the rules com.
mittee had no power to conduct a thor
ough investigation, including one OF
! the stock exchange such as he urged,
and he would not be assured OF an in
vestigation if he disclosed the names
Second, Lawson said, he considered
that disclosure Of the names at this
time would have disastrous effect for
the country and the administration. In
preference to that, he preferred being
punished for contempt of congress.
Declines To Tell Names.
Congressman questioned, cross ex-
amined and pleaded in vain with the
Boston financier to give the name OF
the informing congressman, the cab
met ofllcer or the senator.
When the committee recessed for
lunch the members seemed to think
they had gone as far as they could
with lawson at this stage, SO they ex.
cused him as a witness temporarily.
but told him to remain within jurisdic
ton Of the committee until the resolu-
tons putting him in contempt are dis
posed Of.
At today's hearing Lawson frankly
acknowledged he was more interested
in q congressional investigation Of the
New York stock exchange which would
result in remedial legislation than he
was in investigating the leak" on
President Wilson's peace note.
In the course of the discussion OF
the unnamed trio of whom the con-
gressman is said to have spoken, Law
son declared he not only would give
q special committee their names, but
also the amounts of money they were
supposed to have made from stock
transactions Lawson promised to fur.
nish contempt testimony.
"Will you give their names?" Chair.
man Henry asked.
II will go further" said Lawson. 'T
- name amounts of money: great
amounts of money. More than $1,000.
00O."
Representative Garret then demand
ed that Lawson give the names and
when he reiterated his refusal Mr..
Carrot introduced a motion to compel
him to answer, and it was laid aside
for action with the three pending con.
tempt resolutions.
