EXPERTS ON THE
WITNESS STAND
House Committee Takes a New
Tack in the Electric
Boat Inquiry.

Washington, April 18-The author
ship of the anonymous letters that
have been introduced in the investiga-
ton of the Electric Boat company was
diligently inquired into today by the
house committee conducting the inves-
tigatiOn. David n. Carvalho and Will
liam ]. Kinsley of New York and Al
bert S. Osborne of Rochester, hand
writing experts and experts as TO type
writing, testified that the two letters
and certain documents presented to the
committee by Representative LiIiey,
and which it has been testified were
written by Abner E. Neff of the Lake
Torpedo Boat company on typewriter
in the Lake company's office, were all
written on the same typewriter. Mel
Their Mr.. Lilley nor Mr.. Neff was QueS-
toned by the committee on this point,
but both denied during the day that
they had written the anonymous let
tiers, or that they knew anything about
them.
Mr.. Lilley at the beginning of the
days session presented a letter from
the commissioner of patents stating
that no patent had been granted to
Charles E. Nelson during the past ten
years. This document was introduced
for the purpose of contradicting the
testimony of the Electric Boat COM
pany officials that they had paid Mr..
Nelson, who is a lieutenant in the
navy. $1,000 for a patent he had Sc
cured. Mr. Lilley asked that President
BowleS of the Fore River Ship Build
ing company and John P. Holland be
summoned as witnesses.

ACTIVE WORK ON
WESTERN PACIFIC
w. H. Watts Returns From
Trip Over the Line in
Nevada.
Especial to The Herald.0

Ogden. April lS.-"The condition of the
money market, and the so-cailed hard
times, will not interfere in any material
way with the completion of the Western
Pacific line" said w. H. Watts of the
Utah Construction company upon his re-
turn yesterday from four days trip
along the Western Pacific in Nevada.
I'VE have about 2,S00 men doing grade
work at the present time and this does
not include the steel gangs, engaged in
laying rails. the bridge gangs and the en-
gineering forces. We are using the
greater number of our men on the large
tunnels and heavy work at both ends of
the line. We are working with view OF
keeping the track laying gangs busy. OF
course, were We not held down, we would
employ a larger force and would have
completed long before the heavy work
could be finished. The completion of the
line would of course be delayed until the
heavy work could be done"
Mr. Watts then explained that II was
necessary to work from the ends of the
line first in order that rails could be put
down for the purpose of hauling IN the
supplies for the interior work In MS
opinion the line will be completed in as
short a time as IL there had been no
financial Stringency.
From Oroville up along the Feather
river as far as the point where Spanish
creek is crossed by the Western Pacific
line there are approximately loo men
at work. This covers two divisions, the
first extending a distance of eighty-four
miles out of Oroville and the other from
that point to the Feather creek cross
ing. On the Sierra division which extends
from the Feather creek crossing to Beck
with pass some go men are engaged at
grade work and on the Humboldt division,
which runs from Deep Hole to Deeth, Ne
yaGa, $50 men are kept busy On the SAT-
Lake or Utah division in the neighborhood
of 400 men are working on the grade and
between 10 and 100 are doing riprap work
along the lake section.
ono nj the most difficult sections of the
line is the fist one east from Oroville:
Ten tunnels have been completed and
these range from 200 to 1,2JO feet in
length and work is being pushed on six
teen additional tunnels. Thirty-fiVe miles
of road in this particular territory will
cost the company more than SlOo,W0 a
mile. The road here is hewn through
almost solid rock and it is said that the
gangs have used 100000 pounds of dyna-
mite and other high explosives to tear
enough of the hillsides away to permit
the laying of the line.
