A SUGGESTION FOR MAKING BUTToNHoI

First measure the button to be used, then draw
a line upon the garment. This line should
ure a very small fraction Of an inch more than
the button. Stitch around the line the
chine.
For skirts Of gsbsrdne and weaves use
morcerized O. n. T. or Cordonnet for the cord,
catching at ends and passing twice over machine
stitching
Then cut on the pencil line and use the same
coarse cotton for the but;onhole stitch that has
been used for the cord.
For making buttonholes in wool or silk the reg
ular buttonhole twist should be used.-Mrs E. W,

attended by prominent road drivers and horsemen, MT. Billings an- nounced his intention of erecting tower to mark the site of the old fort and small lodge. As the work advanced the owner saw the possi- bilities of a home there and made several additional purchases of land. When the lodge was completed the mansion known as Tryon Hall was started. The house, which is in Louis XIV. style of architecture, was sev- eral years in building and has had several additions made to it.\ ..
 MT. Billings also owns a large property at the foot of Dyckman street on the Hudson, which he uses as a landing for his yacht. He has an extensive estate, known as Earns worth, near Oyster Bay and Piping Rock, comprising about forty-f1ve acres on the James river in Virginia, where all of his breeding horses are kept. He has another summer home at Lake Geneva, Wis, and a place at Colorado Springs,

Tryon Hall on upper Riverside drive and Fort Washington avenue. New York city, one of the finest houses in the United States. has been sold by it's owner c. K. G. Billings, capitalist and sportsman, to a prominent New Yorker, whose name has not been made public.
 Built on the site of Fort Tryon of Revolutionary fame. at cost of about $2,000,00O, the Billings house has for. years been one of the show places on Manhattan Island. It is virtually a country estate in the city, being surrounded by spacious grounds beautifully laid out and commanding unusually wide views of river and hill scenery. The site of old Fort Tryon, which is the highest point of land on Manhattan Island, was orig inally purchased by MT. Billings as a site for a large stable for his famous trotting horses.

 My name is Thomas w. Lawson" he said. My home is Boston. My occupation, you might say, is that of a farmer
 The crowd burst into a roar of laughter and Lawson hastened to ex- plain. T don't say I am a farmer to be facetious," he said. "In 8 way I also am connected with financial matters."'
 T will give testimony he said, regarding the damnable condition which has existed for two years, for the purpose of finding remedy for conditions which caused hundreds of enormous losses.'
 Lawson flew into rage after he had proceeded for half an hour when interrupted by Representative Chip erHeld. He declared he proposed to

 Jerry South, clerk, pulled Mr. Law son back into his chair, until order could be restored.
 Lawson, pacing up and wn.before the committee, declared that all he had said in the public press regard ing the leak he believed to be true.

Ut is one of the commonest things in Wall street, advance information from Washington about government affairs, affairs of such importance that they frequently affect the coun- try's securities.

CAUSES
 UPROAR AT PROBE
(Continued from First Page)

Der of occasions, under various sus- picious circumstances since l have been in Newark, I have received telephone calls from New York from a man calling himself Curtis and al- leging himself to be banker or broker. In each case he undertook to give mo tips of various sorts of what was happening not only in the financial and industrial world but on one occasion called me up on the telephone to tell me that he had good reason to believe that Dorothy Arnold was at an Orange, N. J., hotel. Dur ing the Standard Oil strike he called up almost daily, giving what purport- ed to be inside information and also predicting future developments.
 1T made considerable inquiry but could never identify or locate MT. Curtis.
 Tumulty Raps Wood.
 Rep Campbell asked MT. Tumulty if he knew that Mir. Wood asked for an executive session to make his statement bringing in MT. Tumulty's name last week.
 T wish you wouldn't ask me any thing about MT. Wood," replied Mr. Tumulty heatedly." would be ashamed to be a party to any thing that would blemsh the reputation of a public man on a mere letter writ ten by a man named Curtis. If I were guilty of such a thing I would not be fit to hold the smallest public office."
 MT. Lenroot, republican asked Sec- retary Tumulty how the president sent the peace note to Secretary Lan- sing. Mr. Tumulty said 1t was Hrans- mitted in sealed envelope by private messenger.
 DO you know" asked Representa- tive Chiperf1eld, that Alfred H. Cur tis was president of the National bank of North America with which Charles

 Lawson Calls Names.
 He said he knew who was respon- sib]e for the leak ana reiterateN he was convinced the committee did not want an investigation. He reviewed his recent trip to Washington.
 T came to Washington" said he, to aid in an honest investigation only to have hell lambasted out of me as soon as congress convened. Promptly when the senate met, leather lunged, sewer-mouthed old blather- skite-''
 The chairman stopped Lawson there and then followed a row between Lawson and Representative Chiper- field, which was unintelligible even to the official stenographer.
 Chairman Henry rapped for order and Lawson roared:
 "I don't propose to be bull dozed I will not be intimidared"
 Declines to Give Names.
 Finally, after more wrangling, by vote of the committee, all of Lawson's heated speech was struck from the record The chairman then began to question him. You stated that there was leak. Will you give the committee the name of the person who carried the leak to Wall street from Washington Lawson replied that the only way he could give the identity of the bear CT Of the leak was to violate a con-g fdence and he could not do so. DO you know any names " de- ma ho oiry,, ', Not in a legal sense.'
 ] Do you know of any in any sense?" T know there was a leak" Law son returned "and knowing there was I leak I must have some informa- tion."
 ] Asked if he refused to answer the question Lawson avoided direct answer. ] Do you know any persons who profited on the day of the leak?"
 "I probably do," Lawson said. T 1 probably profited myself" He de- 1 clined to say how much.
 By process of elimination Chair. 1 Man Henry drew from the witness that he knew of no one at the White House connected with a leak. Asked if he knew of any leak in the secre- tary of states office. MT. Lawson said ;
 T have no information regarding any one in the state department which I would give in public. I would give it to the chairman. But you don't need any more information than you have to warrant an investi- gation. 'I cannot give the comnlittee names in a court knowledge way as l having been principals to the tram, saction," said Lawson. 1T would give names that were given to me by people I consider responsible but won't at this time.''
 will you give them to me?'' asked the chairman.
 "No I will not give them at all un- less it is absolutely necessary"
 '"The chair requests you now to giva me the names," continued Mr. Henry.
 'I started out with the determina- [ tion and I say again that will not blunder up your record with names to furnish headlines for the newspa- pers." o
 Then you flatly decline"
 "Yes I decline. to furnish names given to me by others, not now" E.
 At this point the committee took a recess until 2 o'clock.
 Just before the afternoon session began the rules committee issued sub- poenas for F. M. Lockwood, New I York stock broker and Alfred HI. Curtis, former president of the na. tional bank of North America. FATR TONIGHT AND TJJFSDAY

 Bridgeport, June 26.-A full supply of ponchoes, blankets and overcoats for the local companies of the Home Guard was received here today on 9 rush order sent out yesterday and is ready for distribution among the men. This Is taken by members of the guard here as a positive indication that they will be called out for duty in protecting bridges. even though they may not be assigned to duty at factories.
 Omcers. of the Home Guard here were positive in their predictions that the movement to the bridges would begin not later than July and that Home Guardsmen would surely be detailed to take the places of ~ Na- tional Guardsmen at those points as last as the National organizations were withdrawn to the training camps. The bridges they explained. were too important in every way to be left unprotected, while factory owners might be expected to provide pense. %
