OVER LAWSON’S SENSATION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—
'When Thomas I<awson did not ap
pear,it was thought that the Boston
ian had had his bluffed called, and
there was nothing else to do but to
adjourn, suitably make the punish
ment fit the crime, and bury the
memory of the leak. But Lawson
soon had them jumping, wiring that
he would be in Washington at two
o’clock, and the Rules Committee set
its hearing for three o’clock this

At three o’clock Lawson was on
NO HOPE FOR DEWEY
SAY NIGHT BULLETINS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—
An evening bulletin admits that Ad
miral Dewey the hero of Manilla
Bay is slowly sinking and little hope
is entertained of his recovery.
Dewey contracted pneumonia some
time ago and has made a hard fight
against the inroads of the disease
which seemed to be worsted, but
age was against the veteran of the
seas and he began this afternoon to
sink.
While these is some slight poss
ibility that he might rally, his physi
cians say that even his tremendous
vitality does not encourage them to
hold out any hope. That was this
evening.

the leak. This was sensational. He
backed this up by swearing that a

another cabinet official.
The committee took a recess while
Congressman Garrett framed two re
solutions one of which compelled
Lawson ’to answer specific questions.
When they returned to the exami
nation of Lawson, Lawson still
further electrified the committee
room by naming Henry himself as
the Congressman who tipped off the
fact that the administration had an
underground leak in which Tumulty
was the paid intermediary. Further
Lawson declared that Paul Warburg
a member of the Federal Reserve
Board knew all about the leak right
along, and Henry told him that
Bernstorif had made two millions by
sharing in the selling raids which
stirred Wall street.
SUPREME COURT DECIDES
FOR POSTAL DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan. 15.—
The railroads have had a test case
before the Supreme Court whereby
they sought to recover more than
$35,000,000 from the government as
due for additional compensation foi
carrying the mails.
The government insisted that the
railroad carry mails by bulk, and
paid in that manner notwithstanding
Lhe complaints of the railways that
it entailed the roads a severe loss.
They contended that they had the
charge either by bulk or weight on
parcels as heretofore.
The matter has been before the
Supreme Court, but that body re
fused to entertain the railroad case.
It is considered a big victory foi
