 Is Rare Scandal.
 With that the committee adjourned until tomorrow morning, to resume it's hearing on the most dramatic charges of scandal the capital has seen in many years.
 Today's sensational proceedings dis posed of the elaborate preparations for holding Lawson in contempt of the House for defiance of tue committee at the previous hearing.
 A great crowd was packed into the room when Lawson arrived. Police cleared an entrance for him
 With a set of fourteen questions be- fore him, prepared by Representative Lenroot, Chairman Henry began to question Lawson. When he had com pleted his first question, demanding the names of the congressman who Lawson said told him of a cabinet of- fcer, a member of Congress and banker reported to have been con nected with the leak. and also their names, Lawson rose and said be de sired to make a statement.
 "I am going to answer your ques- tions," he began significantly.
 The crowd. which up to that time had visions of Lawson being placed in the custody of an officer in contempt charges, settled back with an obvious temporary loss of interest
 Lawson Reticent.
 Lawson insisted that he first be permitted to make a statement setting forth that it was against his wishes to give the names in public. Chairman Henry insisted. however, that Lawson should answer the questions put to him and he said he would later be given an opportunity to make any statement he desired.
 Despite the decision of the chairman, Lawson insisted on making a state ment and pleading for an opportunity Irst to present his information in se- cret.

 ''I am willing to give all the names. but I appeal to the committee to take all my answers in confidence. Then if the committee deems it necessary that I shall make them public, l will repeat them in public. l don't want to quibble and | don't want to refuse"
 Here the committeeman held brief conversation and Chairman Henry announced that the witness should answer the questions publicly.
 Names Henry.
 Lawson looked at the committee sternly, squared himself in his chair and said ill voice scarcely audible:
 Chairman Henry of your committee is the congressman who gave me the names"
 The room hummed with excitement. Members of the committee, althous. they had heard rumors that Lawson might connect Henry's name with his charges, shifted in their chairs. Law son. silent and grave, looked straight ahead at the chairman. MT. Henry, sign Of perturbation, waited a moment for the buzzing to subside, and then deliberately proceeded to read the next question formulated by the committee.
 IL was merely an elaboration of the hrst, put in slightly different language referring to the fact that it made no difference whether the information came tp nim as ''Tumor or gossip" ana brought a reiteration from Lawson that Representative Henry had given him the information in Henry's office in the capitol on January ..
