Lawson, About To Be Cited
For Contempt, Promises
Disclosure.
LEAK HEARING CONTINUES
Cornered He Admits That He
Operated Independent
Ofthe Leak.

Washington, Jan. TO- = Thomas w.
Lawson Tuesday promised the House
Rules Committee he would disclose
the name of the Cabinet official, the
Senator and the New York banker,
who he says a member Of Congress
told him were engaged p a stock
gambling partnership, if the House
ordered an investigation as result
of the Rules Committees preliminary
hearings.
Continued refusal Of Lawson to
answer categorical questions in the
leak inquiry today caused the COM
mittee to entertain a second motion
by Representative Bennett that he be
cited before the bar Of the House for
contempt. The motion was held on
the table for action.
Representative Bennett demanded
that lawson name the man who he
says told him New York broker, a
Cabinet official and a United States
Senator participated in stock gam
bling partnership. Lawson fatty re-
fused for two reasons, one that he
was already cited for contempt and
the other that he did not think il
necessary to give the names at this
time.
The line Of examination then turned
| to the Stock Exchange and Lawson's
own operations, particularly during
the month of December, 1916, during
which the leak" occurred.
Lawson said that bad as the break
in the market was when the leak
came it probably would have been
worse if there had been no leak.
"Myopinion is that the break was
weeks in coming and that the leak
Igave certain operators an opportun-
ity to prepare for the crash" said
lawson. "They we're left in a posi-
ton to know just what to do. If the
market had broken without that
preparation made possible by the
leak the break would have been much
more disastrous to the country. We
didn't have any bank or Stock Elk.

crash. So think the leak really wa:
a good thing in one way"
Representative ChiperfeId ques

he was beneficiary Of the falling
market
Lawson denied that he was con
nected with any stock brokerage firm
lbut admitted that he operated occa
sionally through brokers as an indi-
vidual

he was not the recipient of any leak,

made here to indict other men for

"Give us the names of your brok-
ers," he demanded.
After wrangle Lawson said one
brokerage firm with which he oper-
ated was II. Content & Company, III
Broadway, New York.
Chiperfeld then asked series OF
Questions to show that Lawson began
a selling campaign in December and
asked if his transactions in steel did
not aggregate as much as $500, 900.
Lawson said he had no idea what
they aggregated. He would not give
a direct answer when asked il he had
operated selling campaign.

TIMELY HINTS FOR
THE HOME GARDENER
Planting Vegetables For Winter Use

sown early as convenient in the spring
in rows Is inches to feet apart. The
plants should later be thinned to
stand three inches apart in the row.
A rich soil with frequent cultivation is
necessary for success with this crop.
The roots are boiled until tender and
then cut in slices and Drowned in but
ter or roasted with meat in the same
way that potatoes are.
Carrots are cultivated in practically
the same way as the parsnips, but are
not thinned so much and are allowed
to grow almost as thickly as planted.
Those not used during the summer
are dug in the autumn and stored in
the same manner as parSnlpS or tur-
nips. If there is a surplus it may be
fed sparingly to horses and mules or
cattle.
Turnips are used largely in combi-
nation with potatoes, cabbage, and
meat in boiled dishes. They are also
mashed like potatoes and are desr-
able addition to the ordinary winter
fare. They require q rich soil and
may be grown either as an early or
late crop. For a late crop it is custom
ary to sow the seeds broadcast on land
from which some early crop has been
removed. In the North this is generally
done during July or August, but the
usual time is later in the South. The
plants are quite hardy and the roots
need not be gathered until after sew
eral frosts. They may then be stored
in cellar or buried in a pit outside.
Before storing, the tops should be re-
moved. If an early crop is desired the
seed should be sown in drills IL to 18
inches apart as early in the spring as
the condition of the soil will permit.
After the plants appear they are thin
ned to about three inches. Two pounds
of seed are required to plant an acre.
The rutabaga is quite similar to the
turnip and is grown in much the same
way. 1t requires more space, however,
and longer period for its growth. 1t
| is used to a considerable extent for
stock feed and has the advantage of
being quite hardy.

THE HONEYMOON HOUSE

talked to me, Jarvis, but it did seem
such a beautiful opportunity. Any
way, 1 wanted you to see that L was q
parsonage, and coming on the heels OF
this mornings disappointment it was
! like q dream"
Jarvis held Janets nervous little
hands tightly in his own. "Ill tell you,
dear, you decide this for yourself, and
whatever you do will be just right
Liza can manage the house all right IL
you decide to take the job and for Il
beginner like you the opportunity is

II know it, l know it, dear.
realize that we have come to a very
definite fork in the roads, and l don't
know what to do. 1 don't like to feel
I'm afraid that it will make me un-
happy later if 1 do this thing"
All through lunch Janet was very
quiet. She was trying to adjust her
mind to the circumstances. Naturally,
she was young and extremely fiattered.
The offer almost lifted her off her feet.
To be associated with newspaper for
only a little time, and then to be Of
| fered magazine job. 1t just seemed
| impossible to overlook it. But there
was Jarvis.
If she took this position, Jarvis who
worked at home would be alone all
day. Her place was there with him.
Had she married him to be with him,
or to be at an Office all day? When
she came home at night all tired out
and cross, Jarvis would be just ready
to go out. Unless she wanted to put
her career first. she would have to give
up her splendid chance. After all,
Jarvis was the one thing that mat
tered.
And Jarvis was thinking too. He
was determined to be broad, and to do
the decent, fair thing. He was proud
of Janet, proud that she had such a
great chance, but he hoped with all his
heart that she would not take it. 1t
was hard to keep from telling her how
much he wanted her home with him.
but he was determined not to be self
ish and to consider Janet's side alone.
Janet looked up finally with smile
curving her lips.
"I told Mr.. Deering that I would
have to speak to you first, boy" she
said softly. 80 I'm going back this
afternoon and tell him that l can't
take it. It's not sacrifice, this giving
it uD, I just know that it would have
made me miserable"
And Janet laughed her own soft
laugh as Jarvis came around the table
to her.

Washington, ID. c., March 90. -
There are q number of vegetables
which, though grown in the summer
are usually planted for use in the fol-
lowing winter. An adequate supply of
these produced in the home garden
will do much to make the family's
winter fare more attractive and more
economical. Among garden products
of this type may be named cabbage,
carrots, parsnips, turnips, and ruta-
bagas.
Both early and late varieties of
cabbage are grown extensively. In
the North early cabbage may be plant
ed in the hotbed during February and
transplanted to the open ground as
soon as the soil is ready to be worked.
For late crop it is customary to
plant the seeds in a bed in the open
ground in May or June and transplant
them to the garden in July. For cab
bage of this character the soil should
be heavier and more retentive of
moisture than for early cabbage,
which requires a rich warm soil in
order to reach maturity quickly. For
the late variety it is not desirable to
have too rich a SOIL as the heads are
liable to burst. Cabbages should be set
in rows 80 to SO inches apart, the
in the row.
IL otoiS NdpDd5e lue
be buried in. pits or placed in cellars.
One method is to dig a trench about
Is inches deep and three feet wide
and set the cabbage upright with the
heads close together, and the roots
embedded in the soil. When cold
weather comes the heads are covered
lightly with staw and three or four
inches of earth put in. Slight freezing
does not injure cabbage, but it should
not be subjected to repeated freezing
and thawing. Early cabbage cannot be
kept, as it does not stand hot weather
well. 1t should be used soon after it
has formed a solid head.
Caultflower is cultivated in much
the same was as cabbage, but when
the heads begin to develop the leaves
may be tied over them in order to- eX-
clude the light and keep the heads
white. Caulif1ower requires rich,
moist soil and thrives best under irri-
cation. The tender heads of this vege-
table are boiled with butter or cream,
and also used for picking.
The roots of the parsnip are dug
late in the fall and stored in cellars OF
pits, much as cabbage is, or else are
allowed to remain where they are
grown and are dug as required for use
All roots not dug during the winter
however, should be removed from the
garden, as they will produce seed the
| second season and become of a weedS
nature. When the parsnip has been al
| lowed to run wild in this way the roo
is considered to be poisonous.
The seeds of parsnips should bt

Hangs From Bridge

Bristol, Pa, March 23.-Caught on

Southern Express roaring down the
tracks, William Gagg, of Morrisville.
to-day owes his life to his presence of
mind. Gagg was on his way to work
at the West Morrisville yards, and
failing to notice the express train in
the distance, started across the bridge.
Too late he heard the warning whis-
tie as the fiier thundered toward him.
He started to run, but realized that
there was only one way of escape open
and took it. Hastily he swung himself
out over the bridge and clung to a
beam. He had just cleared the track
when the fer dashed by.
Gagg clung to his perilous position
until the train passed, and then crawl
ed back on the bridge. His overcoat
had been ripped from his body, but he
was uninjured, and proceeded TO the
yards, where he is employed as a clerk.
The incident was seen by scores of per-
sons.
