Witness \Miile Says He Never Told Law son That Fisk Could Call Me A(I?h? From Bad at 1 :.*{<> A. M. New York, Jan. 29. ? Some of the most sensational charges Thomas W. Lawson made in testifying recently in the house rules committee "leak" investigation were vehemently de nied today by Pliny Fisk and Archi bald S. White, two widely known New York financiers, when they appeared here before the congressional inquis itors. Fisk, named by Lawson as the banker member of an alleged trio composed of a cabinet member, Sec retary McAdoo, a member of Con gress, known as "Senator O," and a in Wall street, declared emphatically banker who had a join account that no such combination ever exist ea. White, who was declared by Lawson to have ? told him that Fisk had boasted to him that he controlled Sec retary McAdoo, and had offered to call the secretary from his bed by telephone at 1:30 o'clock in the morn ing to prove his assertion, insisted that Lawson was "romancing." As a result of these denials, com mitteemen tonight expressed belief that the length of the hearings here had been shortened materially. Some said they would close within three or four days, if unexpected developments do not arise. Examination of certain stock exchange records for 13 days preceding the sending of the Presi dent's peace note, of several bank ers and brokers regarding general financial conditions during this pe riod, and further examination of Bar ney Baruch, a heavy "short" seller, "and a few minor witnesses," is ex pected to ^bring the end here. The committee now is intent on bringing the inquiry to a close with an investi gation only of the alleged peace note "leak." ? The name of Count von Bernstoff was again brought into the inquiry today in questions put to White, but with what purpose was not made known. Sherman L. Whipple, counsel for the committee, wanted to know if just prior to the publication of the President's note, White had arranged a meeting between the German am bassador and Lawson. White after saying that he had frequently enter tained von Bernstorff at his home here, and they were friends of long standing, testified that Lawson had sought to have him arrange a meet ing with the ambassador, hut that the request had been made at least a year and a half ago. White said he did not arrange the meeting and did not know whether it ever took place. WOMAN'S SOCIETY OFFICERS. Chosen at the Annual Meeting of N. C. Methodist Women in Wilmington.

Having declined rapidly, and with little interruption, for about a fort night, it was not strange that cotton should have displayed rallying ten dencies this week. Yet before the re covery set in prices had dropped back to practically the low levels touchedl on the December slump, which means that there has recently been a loss of approximately $12 a bale. The liquidating movement was still in ev idence on Monday, following the further sharp break of last Satur day, and the pressure was sufficiently heavy to uncover more stop orders, selling by the bearish contingent ac centuating the depression. Nervous ness and uncertainty regarding for eign affairs, intensified by early de velopments at Washington, did not help the market, and before the de cline was arrested the May delivery had fallen to 1(5.55 cents and july to 16.50 cents. These about represent th? figures reached on the drastic shakedown during December and tra ders were wary of following the short side further, especially as the recent setback obviously strengthened the technical position. No one, therefore, found the subsequent improvement surprising and larger exports than expected helped in the recovery, which carried quotations over $3 above the bottom point on Monday. Temporary support was derived in the early trading from the report of the Census Bureau on the ginning to January 16. This showed a total of 11,147,118 bales, which was smaller than some people had forecasted, and the ginning froi^i January 1 to Janu ary 16 was the lightest in many years, being only 101,767 bales. A year ago it was 115,212 bales for the same pe riod; in 1915 the amount was 472,404 and in 1914 it was 234,315 bales. In 1909, when the* crop was only about 10,500,000 bales, the quantity ginned from January 1 to January 16 was 141,000 bales. The aggregate thus far reported this season, 11,147,118 bales, compares with 10,751,990 in the pre vious year, 14,915,850 in 1915 and 13,582,036 in 1914, and some now think that the government rather ov erestimated the probable yield in De cember, when it placed it at 11,511,000 bales, excluding linters. ?
