OhAGtah8 hWAUCuGGUs
 That continuous and repeated of. forts have been made by representa- tives of the Electric Boat Company and It's predecessor to, influence the action or the officials of the Naval Department, and that such efforts in the past were so persistent and notorious as to call forth condemnation and criticism of hign onicials of the Navy Department.
 That from 1893 up to the present time these efforts of the Electric Boat Company and the Holland Company have resulted in absolutely suppressinx any possibility of competition in sub marine construction and securing and awarding of all contracts, either by specific appropriation or by legislative appropriation. skillfully drawn to this company without possibility of compe- tition.
 That it can be shown by former in- vestsgations before the naval commit tee of the House upon which no report was made to the House of Representa- tives that the Holland Boat Company and the Electric Boat Company have been engaged in reprehensible efforts to influence members of Congress and officials of the Navy Department in favor of their boats and appropriations therefor.
 That 1t can be shown upon investi- gation that certain representatives of leading newspapers have been sub stdized and paid by the Electric Boat Company, for favorable newspaper ar- ticles and reports in behalf of said company.
 T have taken 1t for granted that if these things are not true. a full in- vestisation would be welcomed not only by every member of Congress, but by every member of the Naval Committed, as we'll as by the officers and agents of the Electric Boat Company"

"l state also that man from the service of the Electric Boat Company, approached a member of the House of Representatives, then a candidate for membership of the Naval Committee and now a member of that committee and offered his services to secure for said member of the House a place on the committee. The offer was per emptorily declined and the matter pro- ceeded no further. I am willing to give the name of the member referred to as I make this statement with his permission.
 "I also submit" said MT. Lilley. "as one of the facts influencing me to in- troduce my resolution of investigation that in my judgment under special and exclusive legislation the Electric Boat Company and it's predecessors already have received from the United States an excessive profit of more than $l,- 900 ,000 for the construction of subma- rines and that under the proposed leg islation now pending 1t will receive profit of more than S1 100000 in eX- cess of what ought justly and fairly to be paid for the construction of sub marines provided for.
 MT Lilley declared that an investi gation would show that the submarines already constructed by the Electric Boat Company, for the United States government, or now under contract, as well as those provided for in pending legislation are inferior in type, speed. power, armament and efficiency to those now in the possession Of and under contract for construction for for eign governments.

JUDGE DURFEE's DECISION IN
CASE OF oBsTRePERous
HAMTRAMCk RESIDENT.

Martin Schrammel, who has caus-
ed all kinds OF trouble out In Ham
tramck township, was declared sane
by Judge Durfee, Tuesday afternoon.
and in expressing his opinion the
court recommended two good lickings
and term In the house OF correction
every year as the best means Of max
ing the man behave himself
Schrammel owns two lots In the
Robinson subdivision on which he has
erected home. The subdivision con-
sists of S28 city lots. The neighbors
say the old man claims to own the
whole plot, and II is hts efforts to
keep people Off the land that has
caused all the trouble. Schrammel
has succeeded fairly well in holding
the land for Is years, and 1t Is said
that II Is his game to hold II for Is
years, when 1t will become his by
right OF adverse possession.
Schrammel was sent to Eloise once
and to Emergency hospital another
time, when alleged to be insane, but
he was discharged both times. On
Tuesday the leading citizens Of Ham
tramck, including Supervisor Russell,
Justice Munck and Drs. John Neary
and Edward Newton. testified In court
to his strange actions. but Judge Dur
fee said II was just plain cussedness
and not insanity.
Schrammel will probably be pro-
ceeded against now in the courts. and
an effort made to send him to the
house Of correction.
