ARMOR PLATE ISVESTIGA ALTON.
The Senate Naval Committee Making ~
Inquiry Behind Closed Doors.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-The Senate Com
mittee on Naval Affairs was in secret session
to-day for o little more than three hours on the
Investigation suggested by the Chandler reso
luton relative to the question OF excessive
charges for armor plate, tho interests of GER
tain naval officers in the patents granted for
processes used by the Navy Department, and
other matters cited in Mr.. Chandlers rcsolu
ton. Secretary Herbert was before the com
mittee for.twO hourss but nothing was devel
uptd going to show that there had been any
dereliction of duty. No new armor contracts
nave been entered into during the present Ah
Ininis'ration. MIR. Herbert said 1t had been
the habit of naval officers, when they secured
patents upon things used by the navy, TO per-
init the use OF such patents by the Government
without charge. II is not infreQuent, he also
raid, for the Navy Department to ask for
prompt action in the matter OF patents on such
Appliances MS were used by the department.
This vas not confined to any particular Admin
istration. but had been done through several
ministrations.
So far as the contract Of tho armor plato es-
Establishments with foreign Governments was
concerned, the Secretary said he know that
the American tirms had competed with foreign
establishments where the bidding was exceed
ingly close. and they had been compelled to bid
almost at los nR figures In order TO secure any
OF the contracts. IT was charged that these
firms had furnished armor abroad at $500 per
Ton that had cost this Government between
$500 and 5000.
Another special meeting will be held next
saturday. at which time Commodore FolRer
will be u witness.
