SHERMAN L. WHIPPLE
Boston lawyer and Democrat,
recommended byLawson nnd chosen
by the Houso Rules Committee to
conduct tho "pence leak" investiga

its hearings on Monday.
WOMEN MAY ADD SPICE
TO NOTE LEAK INQUIRY
Mrs. Visconti and Another
"Mysterious" Witness to Be
Questioned on Monday
BOSTON LAWYER COUNSEL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. The name of
a second woman of mystery may be
dragged Into tho Houso nolo leak com
mittee hearings.
Mrs. Ruth Thomason Visconti, the first
mystery woman, Is slated to bo a witness
before the probers Monday. At that time,
with Sherman I Whipple, noted Boston at
torney, as counsel, tho commutes Intends to
go to the bottom of her reported story nam
ing a newspaper man and Secretary to the
President, Joseph I. Tumulty.
In questioning Mrs. V-scoritl, It Is likely
tho committee will Investigate her icla
tlons with tho second woman.
As the rumor goes, this second woman
probably knows tho "inside" of tho leal;
situation, and If tho testimony shapes up in
accordance with tho-rumors, tho hearings
will be moro pungently rpiey than at any
tlmo to date.
Just how far Sirs. Visconti will go toward
confirming Lawson's statement that she
told him of an nlleged now leal; deal. Is
problematical. But tliero Is no mistaking
tho gravity that many followers of tho hear
ings attach to her testimony.
Majority members bay Tumulty nnd the
newspaper man will be cleared beyond
shadow of doubt. But lis tho story goes.
Mrs. Visconti knows so many newspaper
men and perhaps ollla'als that she may
furnish a real ilood of tlgnt upon the leak
situation.
In a letter to the Rules Committee shortly
nftcr it bad convened to discuss selection
of counsel, and brought to light today,
Lawson urged uppolntinent of Whipple as
"tho one l.twyer completely equipped for
the tremendous task which the committee
must undertake."

The Herman raider is still at large, and If
leports from Rio do Jnneiro today arc cor
rect, has Increased her score of merchant
ship victims by six. By this tlmo sho may
not bo alone In her depredations It bclns
accepted here that sho has transformed on
or moro of her prizes Into raiders like her
self. In tho meantime, tho greatest sea hunt
In history Is on In tho South Atlantic.
Allied warships are concentrating to sweep
tlio most dangerous menace to Allied ship--- -ping
that lias" jet wiled" the lilgh seas Into
a corner and destroy her.
Amazement nt the rnlder'a audacity grew
here today. Krom the log of the British
steamship Radnorshire, one of the victims,
it waa learned that tho German calmly took
moving pictures of her destruction of vari
ous shlpi.
Tho belief grew hero today that the
raider is the Mocwe, of previous raiding
fame. This identification canio uftcr addi

stating that the Itrltlsh steamship Yarrow

survivors as to this identification.
The Hlo report ns to h'x additional ships
sunk by tho German was unconfirmed. It
did not list tho ships over whose fate there
was anxiety, and It may be that this list
of six is merely a restatement of the num
ber of Allied vesscU which recently left
South American ports or which wero duo lo
arrive, and about which there has been no
Information for somo time. On the other
