CONGRESSIONAL
Submarine Case Continued.

SN~tft0tfbO SaSS SSbSitHSNs
The investigation of the charges
made by Representative Lilley against
the Electric Boat company was resum-
ed before the house committee, and
President Rice of that company was
one of the important witnesses. He
accused a rival submarine concern, the
Lake Boat Company of Connecticut,
with having offered to have the inquiry
called off if the Electric Boat company
would agree to consolidation, but he
did not say that Lilley knew of this
plot Rice said that the proposition had
come to him from Hugh Grant Brown
of New York and that Brown had told
him that if the deal were made SEN
ator Bulkeley of Connecticut would
see to it that the probing stopped. At
once Senator Bnlkeley asked the COM
fnittee to call on him SO that he might
deny that he had eyer authorized any
one thus TO use his name Rice also
charged that Charles r Flint had naaf e
a proposal at st Petersburg to buy the
