non to investigate the charges made by
Representative Lilley that undue ef-
forts have been made by the Electric
Boat Company to influence legislation,
resumed it's sittings today. At the OPP
committee, saying he desired to cor
rect the impression that had been Gre
on rules to the effect that he had
charged that members of congress had
been bribed. He denied that he made
such charges, but said that up to the
present time his accusations had been
solely against the Electric Boat Com
pany and it's predecessors. the Holland
Company, and had covered the point
that the companies had made an effort
to influence legislation by congress. He
insisted the committee should call GER
tain officers of the electric company
as witnesses, and that they be re-
quired to lay before the committee
documentary evidence in their possess
sion. Calling the witnesses, he said.
was necessary to disclose the methods
used by the company to secure legisia-
ton and the money disbursed by it.
Lilley then read. under oath, a care
fully prepared statement in support of
his charge.
Lilley gave the names of Franklin
H. Taylor and John T. Kellogg of Wa
terbury, Conn.,, and. Mr.. Ferris, cf
Bridgeport, as those of persons who
had asked him to vote for an appro-
priation for submarine boat legislation.
He also said that Representative Hob
son had been approached by a MEM
Der of the Electric company, with a
proposition to get hi mon the naval af-
fairs committee if he would favor sub
marine boat legislation.
Representative Hobson testified that
Lawrence Steer of New York. repre-
senting the Electric Boat Company,
had told him his company had infiu-
ence with Speaker Cannon and could
get him appointed on the committee
on naval fairs if he stood right on sub
marines.

Waterloo, PeIla & Southwestern Rail
way May Yet Be Put Thru.


Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell. March 12.-The interest in
the proposed Waterloo. Pella & South
western Railway, which seemed to ba
practically dead after the second fall
ure in the township to vote the three
per cent tax in it's aid, has suddenly
been revived and seems likely to be
stronger than ever, soon. Mr. e. A.
Harris, promoter. vice president and
manager of the road, has made one
more proposition to the citizens OF both
township and city, which he declares
to, be the absolute ultimatum So inn
pressed were some of the business men
of the city with this latest proposition
and with the apparent fact that this
is the last chance for this city and
township to secure the benefits the road
will bring, that they held q meeting
Tuesday evening and selected COM
mittee who were at work bright and
early and all day long yesterday among
the farmers favorable to the roadsto se-
cure stock subscriptions to the amount
of the sum now demanded. The city
council met in special session last even.
ing, and directed the city solicitor to
draw up resolution granting the said
railway the right to lay their tracks
in State street from Washington aven-
ue to Fourth avenue, with such restric-
tions as shall relieve the city from any,
claims for damages from private prop
erty owners. This resolution Is to be-
ready for the action of the city coun-
Gil at called meeting as soon as it
shall be known that the money and
stock conditions have been complied
with There is a call for meeting Of
college trustees tomorrow evening,
when President Main will be here, to
consider giving the railroad the priv
ilege of laying their tracks thru the
college grounds, parallel to the Iowa
Central tracks. Those in both city
and country who have favored the road
seem now very sanguine of final suc-
cess in securing it.

$500 STRIKERS LAID LOW.
Machine Guns Turned on Men in In
itiate Strike Now Down Many.


itiate Strike Now Down Many.
San Francisco, March 12.-The ma
chine guns operated by the govern
ment forces of Chile in the great con-
f1ict with the strikers at the nitrate
beds and in the city of Iquique. Feb. /,
laid $500 men low. most of these be-
ing killed, according to advices re-
ceived yesterday by the Norwegian
steamer Christian Bors, arriving direct
from Chile.
A story coming from San Francisco
tells of a great conflict between the
government forces and strikers at
Iquique, saying that $500 men We're
laid low, evidently is exaggerated and
incorrect, as to the date. A dispatch
received from Valparaiso dated De-
cember 2S. said that according to Off
cial statement, a recent encounter at
Iquique between nitrate strikers sand
the police resulted in the killing of
200 men and the wounding of about
fifty. This is undoubtedly the same
occurrence as mentioned in the San
francisco dispatch.
