LESSLER TELLING
WHAT He KNOWS
First Days Investigation of
the Charge Of Attempted
Bribery.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-The
house committee on naval affairs be-
gan the investigation of the charges
made by Representative Lessler. of
New York, hat he had been approach
ed with an offer Of none for his vote
IN committee in favor of the cOnStruc-
ton of the marine torpedo boats.
Among those present were ex-senator
j. M. ThurStOn, who appeared as cOun-
sci for the Holland Torpedo Boat COM
pany; Lemuel E. Quigg, formerly a
member Of the house from New York;
ex-senator Eppa Hunton and Delaney
N1coll, an attorney from New York.
Representative LESSER was the first
witness and his examination occupied
a greater part of the session. Only two
other witnesses were heard today-F.
3. Zon, Mr.. Lessler's secretary, and ex-
Senator Hunton.
toned Mr.. LESSER, who stated that he
was opposed to the building of more
submarine torpedo boats.
Mr.. LESSER identified Philip Doblin
and told of a conversation he had with
him. Mr.. Lessler said MI. Doblin came
to him n morning and asked if the
Holland submarine boat proposition
would again come before the house.
Il said l supposed so. He asked if I
was still opposed to it, and l said I
was"
Doblin said he had been sent for by
Mr.. Quigg, and Nj. Quigg had told him
there was $4,000 in it if he (Lessler)
could be brought to the other side.
Mr.. Lessler said he said there must
be no further tall IN that proposition.
Mr.. EeSsler said: "Doblin suggested
that Mr.. Quigg was a man of promi-
hence and influence, and that if I
wanted to come back here I would be
aiding myself by doing him this IA
Vor."
Mr.. LESSER then told-of a conversa-
ton he said he had with Mr.. Quigg at
Lessler's office, 81 Nassau street, New
York. Before the opening of congress-,
or during the holiday recess, Mr..
Quigg telephoned that he wanted to see
him.
Il told him to come over, and he
came to my office within an hour"
Mr.. Lessler said that he then told
Mr.. Quigg that there should be no

question of money. Mr.. Quigg did not
mention torpedo boats.
Mr.. Less1er told of a conversation he
had with John McCaIlagh, superin-
tendent of elections in New York. at
his hotel in Washington. Mr.. McCul-
lagh, he said, told Inn that there were
men in New York who could re-elect
him or defeat him and that they want
ed him to support the measure. Mr..
Lessler said he told Mr.. McCuIlagh
that he would not do it. Mr.. LessIer
said that at the time of the conversa-
ton with Doblin the latter was a dep
uty in Mr.. M~cCallagh's office.
1t was said that Mr.. Quigg was in
terested in torpedo boats only as a
friend.
Lemuel E.. Quigg made the first
statement tonight with reference to
Mr.. Lessler's testimony:
Il regret that the committee declined
to receive my testimony today mas
much as | think it should have gone
out with Mr.. Lessler's. I have no in
terest whatever and never have had an
interest in the Holland torpedo boat or
in any of the companies organized to
promote it. Nor am |, nor was I ever
in any way Interested in obtaining
pending or other legislation in their be-
half. At the solicitation of a friend I
consented to speak with Mr.. LeSSler in
advocacy of the boat. AS the result of
efforts to reach Mr.. Lessler by tele-
phone 1 was visited by Philip DobIin,
whom l knew to be Mr.. LesSler's per-
SOnal friend. I made no other request
of DOblin than that he should let me
know when Mr.. Lessler was in town
and in his office in order thai 1 might
see him.. 1t was Mr.. Lessler who in
troduced the subject. of the Holland
torpedo boat when l called at his office.
He announced his opposition to the
pending appropriation and stated why,
in his opinion, the Holland bill should
not pass. l told him that I guess he
knew more about the subject than I
did, that | had sufficiently performed
my errand and that l had no request
whatever to make Of him. Doblin
called twice at my office urging me to
visit LESSER again, but I did not do

Mr., Quigg specifically denied the
statements made concerning DobIin.

Representative Nelson Would Instj-
tute Capitol Investigation.

Representative S. A. Nelson thinks
his constituents may be more willing
TO consent to the appropriation for
completion of the new capitol. after
they are satisfied that the anpronria-
tons so far made have been pronerIv
expended.
To the end that his constituents
and, ~inferentially, the constituents If
ms fellow members may be assured
n a the work on the capitol is worfh
the money paid for it, and that no
s~kulduggery has been practiced. MI,
nelson would have an investigation.
yesterday morning he SEN up reso-
buttons calling for the appointment Of
a committee empowered to summon
witnesses n require the exhibition Of
papers and vouchers. The committee
according to the resolutions. would he
required to submit it's report not later
than Feb. Is.
Mr.. Nelson stated to the house that
SO far as he was concerned. he did NOT
dOubt that everything is perfectly req
ular, but an investigation would raIe
the people in the country feel better
especially if it resulted in proving that
all is as it should be. The resolutions
went over until Monday under notice

for the repeal of a special law gov
erning the compensation of county Of
tcials in Mower county. The bill is
purely local in It's application. and
Mr.. Lightly asked for suspension Of
the rules and immediate passage. The
danger of establishing a railroading
precedent was threshed over for his
benefit, and Mr.. Lightly withdrew his
motion.
A few minutes later the passage of
the same bill under suspension of he
rules by the senate was announced
Mr.. Nolan, Mower, secured the sub
stltution of the senate bill, but his at
tempt to secure suspension of he
rules was promptly voted down. Yes
terday morning he called the suspen-
sion proposition up while the house
was more Than usually noisy, and the
rules were suspended before the anti
~ra1lroaders realized what had been
done. They accepted the situation
gracefully and all voted for the bill.
