LAWSON'S LEAK CHARGES
ARE NOT SUBSTANTIATED
Wndication Of All Public Officials 10
Voted by Committee Which Has
Finished Probe.

Washington, Feb. "a. - Vindication
of all public officials whose names
were brought into the investigation on
charges that there was a leak in Wall
street on President Wilson's peace
note has been voted unanimously by
the House rules committee.
The report, now virtually complete,
will be put in final shape after certain
additional records of New York brok-
ers have been examined.
1t is understood the committee finds
that Thomas w. Lawson's sensational
charges were not substantiated; that
R. w. Boiling, brother-in-law Of the
President, had nothing to do with a
leak and that advance information
concerning the note was furnished to
brokers by j. Fred Essary and w. w.
Price, local newspapermen, who con-
nected deductions with facts obtained
in conversations with other reporters
who had been told in confidence by
Secretary Lansing that a note was
coming.
