Washington, March 2.-Commander
William II. Sims naval aide TO Presl-
dent Roosevelt by his own statement,
is responsible for the "ruW over criti-
cisms Of batueship construction" At
the outset of his testimony before the
senate committee on naval affairs, he
gave the senator's To understand that
they We're to expect some sensations,
This was done In a preliminary state
mcnt outlining what he had to do
with naval criticisms, which he said
began back of 1895 and was confined
To official channels. "MuCh of my
service has dealt with these crit-
cisms" he said ana continued:
II began when | was thirty-siN
years of age, ana now / ann nearly
fifty l put this in because ! am per-
sistently called young man l am
older than Admiral Capps, who has
referred to me as a young man.
Continuing, he said he would have
to go into unpleasant facts such as
charging officers or inventors with
having made misleading statements,
the secretion of official documents
and the refusal of superior officials to
accept suggestions of value
The plan of Commander Sims to
give the committee sensation was
upset Immediately by Senator Tillman,
who suggested that the witness be in
structed to confine his testimony to
alleged faulty construction, and to say
nothing a this time of criticisms made
of personal of incomplete orguniiza-
tons or other matters, which are to be
taken uD later The commander asked
that he be permitted to continue his
statement without interruption and
that the senators would moi cross-eX-
anime him until he had concluded his
statement i'm his own way His re
quest was ignored.
When confined to criticisms of con-
Commander Sims protested
tNot the procedure of the committee
upset him"
You would upset the committee if
you went into all these things at this
time" Senator Tillman said.
"Dont you care to SNOW II the de
has resisted criticsm,' asked
Sims.
Not from you" was the reply.
This incident furnished an illustra-
ton of subsequent proceedings during
Sims testimony. He got
away from the line Of inquiry again
and again, and mcmbers Of the COM
mttee called him back sharply
The armor belt on all OF our bat
tloghips is too low" Commander Sims
stated broadly Hc charged that the
