MAN LILI.EY.
submarine Scandal Probe Resumed at
CapitOl-Lilley Demands Companv.s
BoOks-Also Asks That Rear Ad.
miral Capps Be Recalled to the
Stand.

washington, April 1.-When the
special committee investigating Rep
resentative IAlley's charges of cor
ruption Of congress by the Electric
Boat Company convened today Mr.
Lilley submitted ar exhibit to show
that former Senator Nj. G. Butler, of
South Carolina, received from the
Electric Boat Company a tctal pay
ment Of $12,366.ss.
Lilley's argument is that sLch
sum would be an extravagant price for
legal services and shows that Butler
was employed because the companv
thought he could Influence legislation
regarding submarines.
Mr.. Lilley also made demand that
expert accountants be put IN the
hooks Of the company, saying that
such a policy must be followed in or.
der to get at the facts. He then SUBJ
mitted formal demand that Rear
Admiral Capps be recalled to the
stand to testify on tho cost of subma-
rines to the United States navy.
Jim p. Kellogg, of Waterbury,
Coz n, assistant States attorney of
Connecticut, was the first witness
called.
In rhe fall Of 1905, he said, he be-
came acquainted with Frost, one of
the directors OF the company, and Ia
ter visited Frost. As a result OF tn.
Visit he became retained rs an attor-
r. ey fer the company.
Had YOU discussed d submarine leg
lation with Mr.. Lillay before you
came to Washington? ?"
"Yes: discussed with him at Wa
tcrbury, the necessity OF submarine.
in the navy. Two weeks later anne

PRESERVING EGGS.
New Italian Method il Both Chcau
8nd Effective.

ind Effective.
Consul D. I. Murphy, Ct Bordeaux.
forwards the following synopsis from
a French Journal on a new method
OF presel wing eggs, which, he says.
appears to have the double merit OF
cheapness and simplicity. The article
was based upon the experiments of
DR.. Campanini. as reported by him
In the December bulletin issued by
the italian minister of agriculture.
DR.. Campanlni, after reviewing the
various known means Of preserving
eggs-by salt water, lime water, Sill
cate OF potash, vaseline. and cold
storage-described his experiments,
which showed better results than al.
others.
Ills theory is that To preserve eggs
some system must be adopted that
viii absolutely prevent the cxrhaage
between tire air outside and that in
side the egg-for it IS III. continual
exchange that causes putrnfaction.
DIR. Can paint selected perfectly
fresh eggs and covered them with
lard, so as to effectually stop UP al!
the pores. The shells were thus rem
dcrcd mperme able. the exchange OF
air was prevented and, the obstruction
OF nhe pores not permitting the evap-
oretion tf the water. there was no
toss of weight The white AMI vel,pws
of the eggs IT tained their color per-
tectty and the taste was not modi-
fie7 in the slightest .i-gre.. When
properly coated with lard--not too
thickty-the eggs are put in baskets
or boxes upon a bed Of tow or fine
odorless shavings and so arranged
that There viii be no point CT contact
between them.-otherwise a mold will
.seMlop anG pu1rtfa "ipn result. Tn.
packing room should be perfectly dry,
tine Gues'ion of temperature MT he
ing important. BY his process DR..
Caanpanini kept a quantity Of eggs
for whole year-through a very hot
summer and very cold winter-and
they were Ifectiy preserved. He
says THAI cents worth of lard suf-
fees to coat 100 eggs, and that any
one could easily prepare uat num-
ber Of eggs in one hours time.

everyone who is interested in the
seal herd Of Alaska will learn with
pleasure that there is some prosnoct of
the question of the protection ne tho
seals from pelagiac sealing being
opened up by the Canadians. For
years the United States has been trv-
ing to reach some agreement 20 stop
'his brutal form of scaling but every
time the Canadians have presented
some insurmountable objection. Sow
however, the Japanese sealers have
so far mon0polized the industry. If II
may be dignificd by that name. that
It has become Improbable to the Ca
hadians and 1t is expected that they
Will themselves reopen the negotia-
tions with the United States which
they formerly ard not too politely
ended. Pelagiac sealing, it may be
explained, is the practice of shooting
the adult seals three miles or more
cut at sea The jurisdiction of the
United States ends at the three mile
limit, but when the mother seals are
sucking young they are compelled to
swim more than that distance in order
to secure sufficient food. their food
consisting Of the larger fish. The Pc
lagiac sealers shoot them as they
swim and the result is that the ur-
weaned pups, as they are called. wait
fer the return of the mother, and
perfectly helpless. gradually starve t.
death. for no seal ill adcpt an or.
