reports that Secretary Lansing had
been seen coferring with Bernard
Baruch, the Wall street operator, said
to have made a cleanup on the fall
ing market which accompanied the
peace note.
Lawson declared Henry had asked
him on patriotic grounds not to press
his charges. At no time, tho Boston
financer testified, did he ever say he
had direct information.
When Lawson had finished his re-
cital, Chairman Henry took the
stand and swore that at no time had
he mentioned to Lawson the names
the financier brought out on the wit
ness stand; that he had no inforEa-
ito then and had none now of his own
knowledge, and denied generally and
completely all of Lawsons testimony
relating to him.
When he had concluded, Lawson
rose and solemnly declared that ev-
cry word he had uttered on the stand
was the truth, SO help me, God, WITH
out variation"
To back ii up, Lawson said that inn
mediately af@n" leaving Henry at the
conference lie laid his attenuation
before John OHara Cosgrovc, Sunday
editor of the New York World; Er-
man ]. Ridgeway, president of Ev.
erybody's Magazine and Donald Nc
Donald, publisher of a Boston finan-
cial paper.
Call these men," he demanded,
land they will bear me out in what l
say"
Almost in tears at Henry's absolute
denial of his statements, Lawson
shouted:
"Tll make good heer. and I Won't
go to Jail sthe goat.
Denials Issued
Secretaries McAdoo and Tumulty
and Mr.. Price at once issued state
ments denying Lawsons references 70

about leaks" Secretaries Tumulty |
and McAdoo will appear without sub

With that, the committee adjourned |
until Tuesday morning to resume its
hearing on the most dramatic charges
of scandal the capital has seen in
years.
Mondays sensational proceedings
disposed of the elaborate preparation
for handling Lawson in conetmpt of
the House for his defiance of the
at the previous hearing.
A great crowd was packed into the
Dom when Lawson arrived. Police
cleared an entrance for him.
"WantOn Lie" Says McAd0O
Secretary McAdoo issued a state
ment Monday night saying mo more
shameless and wanto lie could be
than the rumor that he had |
been interested lat any time and in
any manner whatever" in stock spec
or had been connected in
any manner whatever with a leak"
Secretary Tumulty gave out this
statement:
After the complete and definite
statement which | made to the rules
last week it should hard
ly be necessary for me to say that
there is not a scintilla of truth in
these new flimsy charges"

81 Years of Active Service

Only two other mon--FaIugat and
Porter-have held the rank of admir-
al of the American navy, and since
civil war days, no military figure has
held such a place as Dewey in the
affections and admiration of the
American people. His death ended So
years OF active service. His baptism
of fire came in the civil war. through
which he served with distinction.
Promotion followed promotion during
the years following, and he was
commodore commanding the Asiatic
fleet when the orders, capture and
destroy the enemy's fleet gave him
the first news ef hostilities with
Spin and sent him into Manila Bay
for the feat that won undying fame
and had far-reaching effect upon the
position of the United States as
world power.

Made Admiral by Special Act

Immediately Dewey was advanced
to rear admiral, and then congress
by special act made him admiral of
the navy, grade taht died with him.
Since 1900 he had been on duty at
the navy department as president of
the general board, constantly i"
touch with all activities of the navy.
advisor of secretaries and a mighty
champion of a greater fleet. Year
after year the geenral board urged
the building of more ships than Con-
gress would agree to. until the last
session a great building program
based upon its recommendations
finally was adopted.
1t was because OF the Admiral's
keen aversion to any suggestion that
his health and strenth were failinS
that the avail physicians attending
him agreed with the family to make
no announcement of his condition af-
ter the attack Thursday. 1t was
given out that the Admiral had a
cold and until Sunday even the doc
tors hoped that he might master the
disease. Yesterday his condition haC
become so serious that the facts no
longer could be withheld.

Sketch of Dewey's Life

George Dewey, admiral of the navy,
won his place in history and in the
gratitude of his fellow Americans by
his victory over the Spanish at
Manila, May /, 1898, although the
battle was only a small afafir COM
pared with other historic naval ac-
tions. However, its consequences
were altogether disproportionate to
its magnitude, since it ended he
century olng Spanish rule in the
Pacific and won the Philippine
Islands for the American flag. At
that time Dewey held the rank of
commodore, won by long and honor
able service in the navy. lit includ-
ed much fighting IN the civil war,
with Farragut at New Orleans and
Port Hudson and elsewhere. Dewe:
was officer of the bridge on the Mis-
sissippi as she steamed past the New
Orleans forts and was conspicuous

Mississippi. said of him; Every
