81 GOT NINE" LAWSON TELLS
LEAK PROBERS - TUMUETY
DENIES NOTE KNOWLEDGE

DENIES NOTE KNOWLEDGE
Washington, Jan. 81 know
many who profited from the leak. l
profited myself" Thomas w. Lawson
told the house rules committee, prob
ing the leak to Wall street on the
presidents note to belligerents this
afternoon.
81 have reason to believe l will be
stopped" Lawson compIacently re-
marked. j Osked his occupation, Law
son paused, then said:
well, Wen call it. farmer" and
roar ensued.
81 do not understand" Lawson
said, that this committee is sitting
to haul any guilty persons out in the
open and punish them.
There have been leaks and thou
sands and tens of thousands Of per-
sons have been ruthlessly robbed.
Zone Of the commonest things in
Wall street, where all these things
center, is a Washington leak on
things of such importance that they
affect the prices of stocks.
81 mean by that, leaks from the
supreme court of the United States,
from the senate, advance information
of cabinet officers, advance informa-
ton and direct from the white
house."
Asked if he would name the per-
son responsible for the leak he had
charged, Lawson answered:
ITO do that would have to be a
principal, conspirator or beneficiary
81 said those things because in the
past two years there has been a gi-.
gantic robbery of the American peo-
plea deliberate robbery carefully
worked out.
"In my telegram to your chairman
1 said congress did not want an in
vestigation. 1 felt it then and 1 feel
it now.
when your chairman told me to
put up or shut up was entirely

who conveyed this information to
Wall street," he was asked.
Lawson said he had no direct
. legal knowledge"
A new row started when Henry
wanted to know if Lawson would
privately give any information about
the state dept end of the investiga-
ton.
81 will give it to the chairman %
Lawson said. 81 have done what 1
have only to have hell lambasted out
of me-"
Referring to senator, Lawson
called him an 'unciViliZed, sure
enough old blatherskite." The COM
mittee objected to the talk.
Presidential Sec'y Tumulty was
today's first witness before the COM
mittee.
Secy Tumulty read a prepared
statement which closed with the fol-
lowing permitted" quotation from
President Wilson:
81 wish in justice to Mr.. TUmulty
to say that he has stated the exact
fact. He had no knowledge of the
note whatever until it was given out
for publication.
Tumulty's statement was a gen
eral denial that he had in any way
prOfted from the note leak, or that
he had communicated to any one
facts concerning the presidents pro-
nouhcement. He denied specifically
giving information to Barney Ba-
ruch, Wall street speculator. He de-
MED that he had breakfasted with
BaTuch at the Biltmore hotel, New
York, shortly before the. note was
made public.
He denied he had ever engaged in
stock market sales or purchases
through brokers, friends or agents.
He said he was still waiting an apol-
ogy from Rep. Wood, whom he had
never met.

Truro. N. s., Dec. 6.-Three hun
dred dead and many hundreds injur-

the casualties resulting when a large
ammunition ship rammed q passenger
liner near their piers at Halifax to-
day. f
The impact caused the. ammunition
in the American ship to explode, set
ting the vessel afire. The flames
many of which had been
wrecked by the explosion.
The ammunition ship was backing
from her pier preparatory to sailing
when the accident occurred. The
force Of the collision started a fire
aboard. The crew was quickly call
ed to quarters and an attempt was
made to extinguish the flames. This
failed and as the, fire approached the
holds where the explosives were
stored the captain ordered the sea
cocks opened. But the vessel drifted
toward one aof the piers and a few
moments later an explosion occurred,
tearing the ship to pieces. X

sink the steamer the crew was order

This afternoon relief trains were
being rushed to Halifax from nearby
points, bringing firemen and hr0 ap-
paratus and every physician ana
nurse available.
A telegraph line was worked ior. q
short time this afternoon into Hall
fax, establishing the first communica-
-iod that followed che explosion and
before the telegraph and telephone
wires were down. A message on this
wire said half of the Richmond dis
-trict of which the disaster occurred,
was fiat and the fire still raging
there. Persons were said to be ly-
ing dead in the streets. The hospi-
tails were filled with injured while
scores unable to find accommodations
in the hospitals though badly injured,
were wandering helplessly along the
streets. ,
The disaster was said to be fully
as great as first reports indicated.
The fire attacked the northern sec
ton of the city. where the Canadian
Pacific railway station was destroyed:
In that section are located several
large hotels but nothing of their rate
has been learned here. ),
A procession Of automobiles Is
augmenting the service of. the trains
by carrying physicians and nurses
and also great quantities Of food. .
Meagre reports are being brought
back in this way though no one has
been able to obtain a comprehensive
idea Of the situation. The telegraph
