HOBSON TELLS OF
Effort TO BR|BE.
Naval Hero Says He Was Ap-
preached With Offer by Agent
of Submarine Company
Fake War Scares Created to
Stimulate Sale of Boats Is
Barred at Investigation

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Lilley
submarine boat inquiry was begun in
earnest today by a special house COM
mittee. Representative Lilley was heard
at length. He read long typewriter
statement and was then questioned at
length by Representative Olmstead of
the committee, who was designated by
Chairman Boutell to perform that sery-
ice.
During the afternoon session Repre-
sentative Richmond P. Hobson testified
that he had been approached by a man
whom he said was William H. Spear of
New York and who represented the
electric boat company. Hobson said
Spear 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) appointed on the
committee on naval affairs.
In reply to one of Olmstead's ques-
tions Lilley said the electric boat COM
pany had no plant and no assets. He
declared that that company did not
build boats, it's only business being to
secure contracts for boats and then
sublet the contracts.
Lilley said the names OF the Con-
necticut manufacturer and the attor-
ney who had asked him to vote for
an appropriation for submarine boat
legislation were Franklin III. Taylor of
Waterbury and A. M. Ferris of the
Bridgeport brass company; the attorney
was John T. Kellogg of Waterbury.
A discussion arose between Olmstead
and Lilley over portion OF Lilley' S
statement relating TO newspaper cor
respondents and the part they had
taken in creating what Lilley termed
a sentiment for submarines, particu-
larly on the Pacific coast. He said
The Electric boat company has men who at
tend public meetings and who get up in the
meetings and make addresses on the unpre-
paredness of the Pacific coast and the fear that
the Japanese will be on the next boat
They thus get resolutions passed fnstructins
congressman TO vote for large number OF sub
marines.

NUUANU WORK
Still DELAYED
Heavy Winds Hurl Steel
Sections Hundreds
.s'1 OF Feet

During the months of October and
November Just past, there has been
less water in Nuuanu than in any two
months since any record of rainfall
there has been kept" stated Con-
tractor L. NJ. Whltehouse this morn.
ing. "ln going over statistics I have
found that the rainfall has been far
below the average Of the past twenty
years. In August we had one days
good rain and September also one day
Of II, but since that time the water
that has fallen has amounted to prac.
tically nil. We have been able to put
In but II hours Of good sluicing work
since October g."
with conditions at all normal the
dam would have been completed cas-.
lily by February FIRST. Conditions have
lot been normal,-the rain which has
come has been blown by the heavy
winds over the upper end Of the valley
where It would have done some good.
Terrific winds have handicapped the
work greatly. II Is not easy to believe
but the winds In Nuuanu valley have
teen so heavy that they have picked
up and hurled steel sections weighging
115 pounds down the gulch distances OF
from Soto 200 feet.
Contrary to the general belief, the
delay in the work has really been of
great value to the construction OF the
dam. for II has allowed each layer Of
dirt to settle and become thoroughly
hard before the next section is placed
on It. Under ordinary or normal con.
ditions there are about 10 days OF
sluicing yet to be done at the dam"
Marston Campbell, Superintendent OF
Public Works, stated that the delay
was unfortunate insofar as the water
supply for the city was concerned, but
II would prove Of great value to the
efficient construction Of the dam itself
Some rain fell In Nuuanu today but
It was In such small quantity that
It was almost more Of hindrance than
