trio Boat company of New Jersey had

Broussard (La.). The committee is

ley was present when the resolution
was adopted but made no remarks.
The resolution is sweeping in it's
character and gives the committee au-
thority to call for the Electric Boat

pers in their possession which may
have any bearing on the investiga-
tion.

tanning members of congress; that an
attorney for the company wrote the
senate amendment to the appropria-
tion bill of 1907 with the intention of
preventing competition; that large
sums of money have been contributed

ANGRY AT THE KAISER
English People Aroused by Action
Of German Emperor.
OFFICIAL INQUIRY is LIKELY

Foreign Ruler Accused of Meddling
With the British Naval Estimates
in Letter to Lord Tweedmouth,
Lord of the Admiralty.
London, March 1.-THE letter from
the German emperor is purely a per-
sonal communication. There is no ref
erence therein to the British naval
estimates"
This is the reply Lord TWeedmouth,
first lord of the admiralty, makes to
the request made by the Times for the
production of a letter Emperor Will
lam sent to Lord Tweedmouth on the
subject Of the British and German
naval policy, together with the ad-
miralty lords reply thereto, on the
ground that Emperor Williams motive
was to influence those responsible for
the British naval policy in the inter-
est of Germany.
Lord TWeedmouth intimated that
I'LL ShS1 1AAo1 AuoI1ou cu CAS SubJSSI
would be given out in the house Of
lords on March 8.
Lord TWeedmouth's statement that
the communication from Emperor
William was personal and not sent
him in his capacity of first lord of the
admiralty has done nothing to allay
British suspicion that Emperor, Will
lam is guilty of designs on the indie
pendence of the country. The episode
has caused widespread excitement
and there are insistent demands that
the matter be fully aired in parlia-
ment.
1t has been suggested that a pos
sible explanation Of the incident is
that the British government attempt
ed to secure mutual limitation in the
matter of warship building by direct
negotiation with Emperor William;
in other words, to
Achieve by indirect Diplomacy
what The Hague conference failed to
bring about. The critics of Lord
1weedmouth however, point out that
oAJ 0I1SA ACSoIACIIAOAo OuSAI W Ataf y
been carried on through the foreign
office and there is considerable anx-
iety to know how far these alleged
irregular proceedings have gone.
According to one version Emperor
Williams letter to Lord Tweedmouth
gave exhaustive details of the COM
parative strength of the navies of
Great Britain and Germany and, bas-
ing his opinion on this comparison,
the emperor said he thought the Ger
man fleet could not be considered
more than One-fifth as strong as that
of Great Britain. This being so he
thought Great Britain had no need to
fear any rivalry in naval supremacy
from Germany and that consequently
there was no need Of any increase in
the shipbuilding programme of Great
Britain.
In official circles it is pointed out
that 1t would be contrary to all eti-
quette to publish Emperor Williams
letter without the consent of the
writer. 1t is believed, furthermore,
that King Edward will have to be
consulted before publication is pos
sible.
The incident of Emperor Williams
letter had a slightly depressing effect
on stock exchange prices when the
trading opened. Prices rallied subse-
Quently, however, on Lord Tweed
mouths explanation of the matter.
The episode was the sole conversa-
tion in the lobbies of the house of
commons and the house of lords.

WILL MAKE CHANGES
PUBLIC PRINTER LEECH TO RE-
ORGANIZE OFFICE.

Public Printer Leech and his private
secretary, Mr.. Dow. returned to this city
last evening from Oyster Bay, where they
conferred with President Roosevelt.
The matter under consideration was the
plan Of reorganizing the government print
ing office as it is now being carried on by
the public printer. Today the statement
was made on authority that the estab-
lishment will be thoroughly reorganized.
but the plans will be carried into effect
gradually and without unnecessary haste
and confusion such as usually follow big
sweeps of the sort former Public Printer
Stillings made at the beginning of his
administration. when the Office force was
thrown into confusion and a spirit Of un-
certainty reigned.
1t is understood Mr.. Leech will make
changes gradually as the needs OF the
service demand in the course OF the re-
organization.
"There will be no cyclonic developments
or wholesale dismissals and reductions,
a high official of the printery said this
afternoon. THE changes that are con-
sidered necessary will be made without
fuss or feathers.
Some of the employees of the big plant
believe that before the reorganization is
completed there will be some changes of
an important character.
