Some New Feature
REPORT REACHED PROMOTER
He Promptly Used the information
Thus Obtained In Articles for
General Circulation.

partment and not the Electric Boat
company was virtually under investi-
CATION today by the special House
committee inquiring into charges pre-
ferred against that company by Repre-
sentative Lilley One Of the witnesses,
Robert G.. Skerrett Of New York. form
erly employed In the navy depart
ment, and at one time European rep
resentative Of the Lake Torpedo Boat
comapny, admitted on the stand that
he had secured reports made to the
navy department supposed to be con-
| fidential.
He testified that while in the en-
ploy Of the Lake company he received
anonymously extracts from reports
made to the navy department, and that
he used these extracts In the articles
prepared for publication in magazines.
Questioned as to their source, he re-
piled that he did not know from whom
they came, and that he had accepted
them as correct and used them In his
articles.
When asked by Chairman Boutelle II
he did not consider that his action In
publishing information which the
United States government regarded
secret was highly dishonorable. "
Skerrett replied, mo. think l was
indiscreet."
It is the evident intention Of the
committee to follow up this new line
OF evidence, and II possible, discover
the leak In the navy department.

II the general conference APPROVES
this step. 1t was explained, 1t will not
mean that Methodism goes back on its
historic position in respect to these
