questions Mr.. Lilley said the Elec-
trio Boat company had no plant and
no assets. He declared that the
company did not build boats, it's only
business being to secure contracts
for boats and then sublet the con-
tracts.
Concerning Mr.. Lilley's assertion
in his prepared statement that no
report had been made to the house
of the investigation Of the Lessler
charges by the naval committee, Mr..
Olmstead called his attention to the
fact that such a report had been
made, and said that it had shown
that representatives of the Holland
company had made improper over
lures to members Of congress.
Mr.. Lilley gave the names of Con-
necticut manufacturers and an at
torney who had asked him, according
to his statement, to vote for the ap.

said, were Franklin H. Taylor OF
Waterbury, and Charles Ferris of the
Bridgeport Brass company; the at
torney was John T. Kellogg of Wat
erbury.
Mr.. Lilley said that Mr.. Kellogg
attorney for the Electric Boat com
pany, made an appointment for Mr.
Ferris with Mr.. Lilley, but Mr.. Kel

Washington, D. c., March 12.-
The Llley submarine boat inquiry
was begun in earnest today by the
special house committee. Represen-
tative Lilley began the testimony by
reading a long typewriter state
ment, part of which was in the ma
ture of an affidavit, in which he out
lined the charges. When he had
completed this formal presentation,
he was questioned at length by Rep
resentative Olmstead of the COM
mittee, who was designated by
Chairman Boutell to perform that
service.
During the afternoon session Rep
resentative Hobson testified that he
had been approached by a man rep
resenting the Electric Boat company
who told him that if he would sup
port the claims of that company be-
fore congress the company could
bring influence to bear upon Speaker
Cannon to have him (Hobson) ap-
pointed on the committee on naval
affairs.
At the suggestion Of Chairman
Boutell the names of the attorneys
representing the interested parties
were entered on the record.
Mr.. Lilley introduced Frank T
Brown of Norwich, and State Sena-
tor Stiles Judson, Bridgeport, Conn.
as his counsel. Martin w. Littletor
of New York announced that John D
Lindsay, also of New York, and him
self represented the Electric Boa
company.
In reply to one of Mr. Olmstead',

of the last session. 1t was offered,
he said, but he did not remember by
whom. It was Mr.. Lilley's impress
sion that he supported that resolu-
ton. 1t was for open legislation, he
said, leaving the letting of contracts
with the department. The one sub
mitted this year, shut out any pos
sibility of competition.
Mr.. Lilley said he had been APP
preached by a representative of the
Lake Boat company, who asked him
If he would stand for open legisla-
ton, meaning that if any appropria-
ton was made it should be left so
that all people could have a fair
chance to obtain business. Mr.. Lii.
ley said he would. 73
Concerning the proceedings in the
committee, Mr.. Lilley said Mr.. Pad
gett tried to have an amendment at
tached to the provision offered by
Mr.. -Loudenslager, removing the part
that prevented competition.
Mr.. Lilley said he voted for the
amendment but 1t did not carry. Mr..
Loudenslager's amendment was
adopted, he said. When Mr.. Loud
enslager finished reading his amend
ment, Capt. Hobson said "That
means the Holland, doesn't it?" Ac-
cording to Mr.. Lilley, Mr.. Louden

STRIKERS
ARE Slain
Conflict Between Soldiers
and Laborers in City
Of lquique, Chilli
Terrible Scene Of Struggle
Men Literally MOWn
Down

San Francisco, March 12.-Mach-
inc guns, operated by the government
forces at Chilli in great conflict with
the strikers at the nitrate beds and
in the city Of Iquique, laid $500 men
law, most of these being killed, ac-
cording to advices received yesterday
by the Norwegian steamer Christian
Bors arriving direct from Chill. The
business at Iquique, which had never
been seriously disturbed by anything
but earthquakes, was paralyzed when
the great army of workers went on
a strike. One fracus after another
occurred, until the soldiers and the
strikers met in the streets of Iquique
and on the outskirts and openly de-
fed each other.
Being ordered to drive the army
of men away and dispense them, the
soldiers opened fire, while they mass
ed and literally moved down the
men.
They had little opportunity to fight
back, even though they had been
armed, the assault upon them was so
sudden.
This took place on Jan 1, and was
followed by one or two days of op-
pressive gloom in the community,
while the funerals of the killed were
taking place.
A week later, as though by common
agreement, the strikers went back
to work without the expected add
vance in the wages. 1t was reported
that the mine owners will voluntarily
increase the pay of many of their
employers.

Mr.. Olmstead: "By whom did it

Mr.. Olmsted took up in detail the
question Of plans for the building
of submarine boats, and drew from
Mr.. Lilley statement that in his
opinion both the Octopus and Lake
boats are obsolete types.

Future Hardwood Supply.

Americas future hardwood supply
must come mainly from the Appa-
lachian mountains, according to the
Forest service. The other chief cen
tiers of production are now in the lake
states and lower Mississippi valley,
but in the former the presence of hard
woods is an almost certain indication
of rich soil, and the tracts once cleared
are turned to agricultural uses. In
Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi
the production of hard woods has
reached it's height, and in Missouri
and Texas it has begun to decline.
The Appalachians contain the largest
body of this timber remaining in the
United States, and have the greatest
variety Of species. Rightly managed,
their forests would produce 10000. 00O.-
900 feet per year, since their soil and
climate combine to make heavy stands
and cause rapid growth. Much of this
area, however, has been SO damaged
by fire and cutting that it will be
years before its 100000 acres are
fully productive.-Leslie's Weekly.

A Sailor and a Chow Dou.

At the hour when women were max

"a man attired in the uniform of a

deal of attention in West Fifty-fourth
street, New York, by something he
carried under his right arm, some
thing that looked at first like a white
bundle, but which. on closer inspec-
tion. proved to be Chinese chow dog
that the sailor was trying to sell. The
little animal was unusual enough In
itself to catch the eyes of the women
who stopped to speak to the sailor
about it. But more unusual than that
was the way in which the tiny pet was
clothed as protection against the cold.
He not only wore coat with sleeves"
kor his front and hind legs, but he also
had his furry head covered with a
weritable baby's hood, with a ruf1e
around the front of 1t, the cap being
tied under his neck with red ribbons.
The Costume" attracted quite as
much notice as the chow dog did so
long as it's owner remained in sight
on the block.
