DOESN'T ACCUSE
CONGRESSMAN Of
BEING BRIBED
Representative LiIley Merely
Says Electric Boat Co. Tried
to influence Them.

WASHINGTON, March -. = The
special committee appointed ,by Speak
or Cannon to investigate the charges
made by Representative Lilley to the
effect that undue efforts have been
made by the Electric Boat Company tc
influence legislation, resumed its sit
tings today, with all five members OF
the committee present, and many other
interested spectators.
At the opening of the session Mr..
Lilley said he desired to correct the inn
preston that had been created by the
effect that he had charged that men,
bers of Congress had been bribed. He
denied that he had made such charges,
but said that up to the present time his
accusations have been solely against
the Electric Boat Company and its
predecessors, the Holland Company, and
had covered the point that these COM
panies had made an effort to influence
legislation by Congress. Mr.. Lilley ther
read a carefully prepared statement.
Mr.. Lilley's purpose, he said, was
TO set on foot and assist the carrying
out Of am Investigation. which he be-
lleved if properly conducted would
show that wrongful methods had beer
used by the Electric Boat Company tc
secure legislation in Congress. Mr.,
Lilley said he was prepared to furnish
the committee With the addresses of al
witnesses whom he desired to have
called. He said that whether or not
money had been improperly used TO Sc
cure legislation in the interest Of the
Electric Boat Company could be shown
only by the examination of the Oil
GERS. attorneys and agents of that com
pany. and a careful scrutiny of tho
company's books, vouchers, check stubs
and other accounts.
Il now insist" said Mr.. Liliey, tina

Company; Elihu b. Frost. vice-presi

Wife of Comedian in Evelyn
Thaw's Seat Watches Work
of Filling Box.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE jury
which is to try Raymond Hitchcock,
the comedian, in the criminal branch
of the Supreme Court. was completed
today. Assistant District Attorney
Caravan outlined the case of the prose-
cution in a brief address to the jury,
and Mrs. Mary Won Hagen, the mother
Fof one of the girl co~mplainants, testi-
fed.
But one juror was needed at the be-
ginning of court today to fill the jury
box.
Mrs. Hitchcock. who was Flora Ia
belle, the actress, was again in court.
She occupies the seat formerly used by
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in the two rha
trials. She was gowned perfectly and
continually smiled encouragement to
her husband.
Her presence caused another lues-
ton to be asked prospective jurors. 1t
Is whether the presence of a woman
interested directly or indirectly in the
case would make any difference in his
verdict.
1t is said tha several prominent
members of the Lambs Club have de-
clined to testify as character witnesses
FOR Hitchcock, saying they did not
| propose to make the trial a club affair.
As SCOT as the jury box is filled AS
! sistant District Attorney Caravan will
deliver the opening address for the
prosecution, and the taking of testi-
mony will begin.
One of H~itchcock's lawyers is au-
thority for the statement that District
Attorney Jerome has engaged Pinker-
ton detectives to watch jurors, lawyers,
witnesses and others connected with
the case.

There were many difficulties that
George Sand had to overcome in the
early sos in order to become an au-
thoress, the principal one being the
prejudice against amy woman becoming
4 novelist. In order to be frear and
enjoy all the privileges of men. she
dressed as a man. She did this through
necessity and not because of choice
She first wrote for the Figaro, but
soon published a novel. Rose e
Blanche together with Jules Sand. Il
was this novel which suggested TO heI
the name of George sand, Jules being
the French for George. s
"Her novels describe her state o.
mind at the time Khey We're written
In Indiana. Leila, Valentine.
Jaques,' Andre she dwelis on tina
one theme of marriage. but of mar
iiage where there is no love, where
there is no mutual understanding. She
merely rehearses her own unhappy ex.
perience in these books. Then carried
away by the socialistic IDEAS Of mel
ike Pierre Leroux, lean Raymond
Ledru-Rollin, she writes politica
novels. Then came her beautiful pas
torals. and finally. toward the close o
her life. she wrote lie Marquis de Vile
mer,' 'Idele Merquem. 'L'Homme d.

motives of inspiration in her novels
love for man, love Of humanity ant
love OF, nature, and it is these three mo
tives that inspired her to write he

posed to no candidate and supporting
but one. That one was David Baird,
of Camden.

No hope is held out of passing either
