Washington, Jan. 15. -Thomas W lawson. haled before the house rules committee to tell what he knew r had heard about a stock market It-ak on President W ilson s peaeij note or be punished, calmly declared today .that the mysterious congress man who told him a cabinet officer, a senator and a banker were engaged in a stock gambling pool, was none other than Representative Henry, chairman of the committee Then, before his hearers had time ro recover from the shock, 1-awson sprung one sensation after the other by declaring that the cabinet officer referred to was Secretary McAdoo; rhat the banker was H. Pliney Fiske, of New York, and that he knew trie senator only by the initial " ." To complete the explosion, l.aw on went on to charge that I'aul M Warburg, of the federal reserve board, had knowledge of the leak machinery: repeated a rumor that 'ount von Rernstnrn, the German ambassador, had made two millions in the stock market and to mention a list of well-known nu n whom he thought should be questioned. The committee promptly issued subpoe nas for all of them Mr. Lawson said he had been told rhat Malcolm McAdoo. the secretary's brother, knew of the leak, as did C. H. Barney & Co. and Stewart (i. Gibboney, of New York. A Mrs. RuGi Thomason Viscontl. of this city, he said, had declared to him iu the presence of her attorney that Secre tary Tumulty "received his bit ' and that W. W. Price; one of the White House correspondents, was the go-'oe-tween for Tumulty and others." H. Pliney Fiske. I .aw son said, was the banker he referred to previously as dominating a cabinet officer and Archibald S. White, he said had giv en him this information. Representative Henry was said by lawson to have told bim, at the con ferences that preceded the opening of the leak investigation, of reports connecting the cabinet officer, bank er, and senator, and also had told him of reports that Secretary I.an sing had been seen conferring witn Bernard Barneh. the Wall Street op erator, said to have made dean-hp "on the falling market which accom panied the peace note. Lawson declared Henry had asked him on patriotic grounds not to press his charges. At no time, the Boston financier testified, did he ever say tie had direct information. When Lawson had finished Ins ic cital. Chairman Henry took the stand and swore that at no time had :ie ntentioned to lawson the names the, financier brought out on the witness stand, that he had no information then and had none now of his own knowledge, and denied generally and completely all of Iawson's testimony relating to him. When he had concluded, lwun roe and solemnly declkred that ev ery word he had uttered on the stand was the "truth, so help me Ood, without variation." To back it up, Lawson said that immediately after leaving Henry at their conference he laid his informa tion before John CHara Coserovn. Sunday editor of The New Yor World, Erman J. Rldgway, president of Kverybody's Magazine, and Don ald McDonald, publisher of a Boston- financial paper. "Call these men.'" he demanded, "and they will bear me out in what 1 say." Almost in tears at Henry's aDso lute denial of his statements, raw sou shouted: "I'll make good here, and I won't go to jail as the goat." Secretaries McAdoo and Tumulty and Mr. Price at once issued state ments denying Law son's references to them. The committee promptly ordered subpoenas for Rldgway, Cos grove, Warburg. Fiske, Price, Mal colm McAdoo. White, Gibboney, Bar ney -ft Company, Mrs. Visconti and John R Rathom. editor of The Provi dence Journal, who published some articles about "leaks." Secretaries Tumulty and McAdoo will appear without subpoena. With that the committee adjourn ed until tomorrow morning, to re sumo its hearing on the most dra matic charges of scandal the capital has seen in yean. Today's sensational proceedings disposed of the elaborate prepara tions for holding Lawson In contempt of the house for his defiance of the committee at the previous hearing. A great crowd was packed into the room when Lawson arrived. Po lice cleared an entrance for him. With a set of 14 questions berore him, prepared by Representative Len- root. Chairman Henry began to ques tion Lawson. ' When' he had complet ed his first question, demanding the name of the congressman who Law son said told him of a cabinet offl- - cer, a member of Congress and a hanker reported to hare been con nected with the "leak. and also their names.- Lawson rose and said he desired to make a statement. .

It is a doubtful proposition whether any other town of its size In North Carolina has as handsome and up-to-date a banking house as the one just occupied in Cherryville by the First National Bank of that town. To use a term of the street, it is a "beauty". Cherryville is proud of this building, and justly -so, for no one would con trovert the statement that it is sever al years ahead of the town in size and equipment, its very existence, however, is an indication of the firm faith its owners have in the sureness with. which the town is growing to It. Outsiders, who are not acquainted with the new spirit which animates tlie business life of Cherryville. are amazed that it contains such a modern building. Responding to a general invitation sent out to come and inspect this building, all of Cherryville Jogether with many people from the sur rounding country were present. Tiie night was inclement but this fact kept but few away. Not a few came from farms miles away to inspect tne new building '-and to mix and mingle with tlie crowd. 1 he event was a success from every standpoint. it . was a pleasant social occasion lor I the people as well as an excellent ad- veitisement for the bank.

This building stands at the corner of Main and Mountain streets, oc cupying the site where formerly stood the residence of its president. Mr. . S. Mauney. "Right on this spot", he told The Gazette, reporter, who was fortunate enough to be uresent. "I lived for years, raised corn and cotton, and reared my children". Mr. Mauney. who is one of ( herryville's leading citizens and business men. was everywhere, uiak- Ling his friends teel at home. He was proud of the bank s new Home anu his fellow townsmen shared thai pride with him. His sons. Mr. M. L Mauney and Mr. M. C.
