AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY.
Statement Made by Mr.. Longworth
in Regard to DR.. Hill.

The objection to DIR. Hill as ambassa-
dor to Berlin was simply and solely that
his private fortune would not enable him
to represent properly the dignity of the
American nation
This statement was made today in the
House of Representatives by Mr.. Long
worth of Ohio, son-in-law of President
Roosevelt. during the consideration Of the
diplomatic appropriation bill. Mr. Long
worth was making a plea for the main
tenance by the government of suitable
legation buildings at the various foreign
capitals He referred to the press dis
patches stating that the German emperor
had refused to accept DR.. Hill and to the
official denial given to the published
stories. Nevertheless" said Mr.. Long
worth, there is no doubt that there was
a foundation for these stories beyond
mere rumor. and it is undoubtedly true
that persons high in authority in Ger
many for some time have been saying
that DR.. Hill was not persona gratlssima
to the emperor.
These objections however. he declared
could not be because DR.. Hill was not ex-
perienced in diplomacy, nor sufficiently
learned in international law, nor that he
was not sufficiently able and representa-
tive American. They were. he asserted,
due entirely to the fact that because he
difference between the amount paid him
as salary and the amount necessary to
maintain his position as ambassador, he
would not only not be able to keep up
such an establishment as that of the
present American amba ssador, but would
not be able to keep up any establishment
at all.
Mr.. Longworth said without going into
the question as to whether Mr.. Tower had
maintained too luxurious an establish
ment that everybody would concede that
the American ambassador to Germany
should at least have a house to live in
and not be compelled to live in shotel or
a fiat 1T is no excuse" he said that
we do not act because financial conditions
do not warrant the expense. An Office
holding aristocracy is bad enough in any
country. when based on birth and blood.
but when based on wealth. 1t Is infinitely
worse. and worse than all in a republic
| would say that any amount of money
was we'll spent for uprooting such a sys-
tenn from this country"

B0UTELL USES STRONG WORDS
Says Attempt to Blacken Represent
alive LIQUIDS Character Is Cow
ardly and Dastardly.

Handwriting experts were called today
before the special committee of the House
which is investigating the charges brought
by Representative Lilley of Connecticut
that members of the House had been inn
properly influenced by the Electric Boat
Company in the matter of submarine boat
legislation. Chairman Boutell stated at
the outset of the session that of the many
charges brought before the committee the
most serious was that corrupt means had
been used to secure or defeat nomination
and election of members of the present
Congress.
Such a charge reflects upon the in
tegrity of the House and deserves the
most exhaustive examination by this COM
mittee." he said. 1.-The only case of the
kind which the testimony has disclosed is
the cowardly attempt that has been made,
partly through anonymous letters. to
blacken the name and ruin the career OF
Representative Loud of Michigan. AS
no one has had the courage to admit
the authorship Of these dastardly commu-
nications this committee feels that the
burden has been laid upon it to discover
II possible the authorship of these COM
munlcationS."
Mr. Bouten stated that the letters had
been turned over to experts and he then
called David N. Carvalho to the stand.
Carvalho's Testimony.
Mr.. Carvalho said he had examined the
two letters in question, one received by
the Washington correspondent Of the De-
troit Free Press and the other by Frank
scarborough. a state senator from Mich
igan and now a candidate for Congress
against Mr. Loud. He also had examined
a great mass of typewriter documents
submitted to him by the committee and
compared them with the anonymous let
ters. He had made careful comparison
taking photographs of the papers and
preparing charts showing his deductions.
Unquestionably, he said, the two anony-
nous letters and certain of the papers
were written on one and the same ma
chine. These documents, it has been
testified, were dictated by former Sena-
tor Thurston and written by Almer r.
Neff on a typewriter in the Washington
Office of the Lake Torpedo Boat Com
pany. The documents in question were
questions and statements presented to
the committee by Mr.. Lilley and signed
by him.
The witness said that the identity OF
typewriting machines on which two or
more papers were written could be de-
termined more readily than the genuine
ness of handwriting. He entered into a
long explanation of what caused him to
reach his conclusions, pointing out the
characteristics of different letters and
words, and the members of the commit
tee followed him with charts which had
been furnished by him.
