TALK ON ROOSEVELT DIVE
Denial That Paid Writers Made
Plunge With Him.

WASHINGTON, April Frank
lin A. Taylor of Waterbury, Conn,
testified before the special house
committee investigating the charges
against the Electric Boat company,
manufacturers of the Octopus type,
that he had heard Representative
George Lilley, author Of the charges.
make the statement in the Water
club last Saturday that it was quite
likely he would get an adverse de-
cision from the committee, and in
that event he would tell all he knew
about the whole matter of submarine
boats on the floor of the house.
Elihu b. Frost, vice president of
the Electric Boat company, referring
to the time President Roosevelt made
a submerged trip in one of the sub
marine boats, denied that the COM
pany had any paid newspaper men
at that trial, and said he did not
know who was responsible for the
publications concerning that event.
The boat was commanded by Lieu
tenant Nelson, U. s. N, and Mr..
Frost testified that the company had
purchased from Nelson an invention
which is used on the boat. The COM
pany paid him $500 for it. This
was the only sum paid any naval Off
Ger by him or his company. Mr..
Frost said that no member of con-
gress or naval official owned any
stock in the company.
Representative Kahn of California,
whose name was mentioned by Mr..
Frost as the member of the house ma
val affairs committee in connection
with whom an attorney made an in
terview, made a statement at the
conclusion of Mr. Frost's testimony.
He said that at Mr.. McNeir's request
he introduced a bill providing for a
number of submarines for the Pa
ciflc coast. He said that Mr.. McNeir
had not mentioned the name Of the
company he was connected with and
he (Kahn) did not know what com
pany it was.

This last argument il sustained by the
opinion that, whereas Whittier only

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April g.
Charged with being bold, bad bur-
glars, two staff reporters and the San
Diego correspondent of the Exam
liner, William Randolph Hearst's Los
Angeles paper, will be given a pre-
Iiminary hearing In San Diego to-
day. Men higher up In the manage
ment of the paper are threatened
with prosecution.
The charge against the reporters
grew out OF an alleged enterprising
attempt to prevent the Examiner
from being ''scooped" by a rival. 1t
is stated that when San Diego dele
cation and a rival newspapers re-
porters returned from a visit to the
American feet at Magdaiena bay the
Examiner discovered II had no pho
tographs of the ships and the rival
had. Reporters were sent to San
Diego with instructions to get these
pictures or not return to the office.
William Beard, in charge of the
squad, tried in vain to buy or borrow
pictures or copies from Photographer
Fitch, who had orders not to let any
of them get away. That night Fitch s
gallery was entered by burglars and
the photographs stolen.
A special train was chartered and
the pictures were rushed to the Ex-
aminer Office In time to be repro
duced Beard. the reporter, says he
was patted on the back and his name
put on the bulletin board in the
Office. Then he was arrested, and the
prosecutor promised him immunity
from punishment IL he would impli-
cate the men higher up. 1t is said
he placed the responsibility on his SUI
periors.
AS a result, another reporter. w,
r.. Heustis, of the Examiner, was ar
rested and taken to San Diego. Hay
den Talbot, San Diego correspondent,
got warning and started for Next
co. He chartered a pilot boat, and
was two and three-quarter miles
from land and just preparing to
board the ship Culgoa for Magdalena
when he was overhauled. He was
taken to San Diego jail in the Black
Maria.
He was arraigned with Beard and
Heustis and held in $4,000 bail for a
preliminary hearing today. He adj
mits that he was trying to leave the
country, but denies that he had
promised the district attorney to APP
pear in court today. Talbot had to
climb down a fire escape to reach his
pilot boat unobseryed, but the dis
trict attorney got the news quickly
and procured faster steamer.
Talbot insists that his pilot boat
was outside the three-mile limit
when overhauled, and that he was
arrested when on the high seas. He
