EX-SENATOR THURsTON INVOLVED
Testimony that Anonymous BIissives
Were written on similar Type
writer TO One I'm Lake COM
pany's once.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Handwriting
experts were called today before the spe-
cial committee OF the house which is in
vestigating the charges brought by Repre-
sentative Liley OF Connecticut that MEM
bers Of the house had been improperly In
fluenced by the Electric Boat company In
the matter Of submarine boat legislation.
Chairman Boutell stated at the outset Of
the session that OF the many charges
brought before the committee the most
serious was that corrupt means had been
used to secure or defeat nomination and
election of members of the present con-
gress.
such a charge reflects upon the integ-
rity of the house and deserves the most
exhaustive examination by this commit
tee," he said "The only case of the kind
which the testimony has disclosed Is the
cowardly attempt that has been made,
partly through an anonymous letter, to
blacken the name and ruin the career Of
Representative Loud Of Michigan AS no
one has had the courage to admit the au-
thorship of these dastardly communica-
tions this committee feels that the burden
has been laid upon It to discover, IL pos
sible. the authorship of these communica-
tions"
Mr.. Boutell stated that the letters had
been turned over to experts and he then
called David N. Carvalho to the stand.
Testimony of Experts.
Mr.. Carvalho said he had examined the
two letters in question, one received by the
Washington correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press and the other by Frank Edin-
borough, state senator from Michigan, and
now a candidate for congress against Mr.
Loud He also had examined a great many
Of the typewriter documents and com
pared them with the anonymous letters,
taking photographs and preparing charts
showing his deductions.
Unauestionably, he said the two anony-
nous letters and certain of the papers were
written by one and the same machine.
These documents. it has been testified, were
dictated by former Senator Thurston and
written by Almer F. Neff on a typewriter
in the Washington office of the Lake Tor
pedo Boat company. The documents in ques-
ton were questions and statements pre-
sented to the committee by Mr.. I.llley and
signed by him.
The witness said that the Identity of
the typewriting machines on which two or
more papers were written could be de-
termined more readily than the genuineness
of handwriting.
II know absolutely nothing as to the au-
thorship of the anonymous letters that have
been introduced in the investigation OF
the Eelectric Boat company" said Repre-
sentative George L. Lilley, under whose
resolution the investigation is being con.
Quoted, to representative of the Assocl.
ated Press today, while David Carvalho,
the handwriting expert was testifylng

says were written on the same typewriter

CRUISER ON PEACE MISSION
Government to Lend It's Use
for TriD of Mexicans to

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Should the
plans of the American government be ao-
ceptable to Mexico, the cruiser Albany will
be utilized TO convey Ambassador Creel and
w. l. Buchanan on their mission of peace
and good fellowship to the five Central
American republics The use OF warship
was suggested to convey the peace mission
from the fact that the means of transporta-
tion along the route laid out for the visit
is irregular and unsatisfactory.
From the fact that II is stated here that
the use Of the Albany has not finally been
determined upon 1t is deduced that Mexico
has not as yet made response to the propo-

Hopes Civic Federation Measure VIII
Get ThrOuEh.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 1s-Presi-
dent Roosevelt stated today that he would
oppose any bill providing a commission
TO consider the subject Of amendments to
the sherman antitrust law. The Mer-
chants association Of New York and sew
eral other business organizations are send
ing circular letters throughout the country
suggesting a commission to consider the
whole subject and make recommendations
TO the next session OF congress. The presi-
dent takes the position that congress and
the country fully understand the question
and he believes that there should be action
at this session. The president. as is well
known, favors the Hepburn BILL which was
prepared by the Civic Federation, and he
is of the opinion that this bilf. winch was
prepared after long deliberation by the
federation and governmental and congress

OF the times.
The opinion at the White House ls that
commission would merely delay action.
The Hepburn bill is one Of the measures
that Representative Watson. the repub-
lican whip" of the house. told the presi-
dent probably would not be reported by

It's author himself saying he had drawn

case Having had one law on this sub
sect declared unconstitutional, II has been
our desire that this bill be kept free from
all doubtful matter. In view OF this, and
OF the fact that the adoption of such an
amendment might cause the reference Of
the bill to the house committee when It
was returned TO that body, which reference
would mean a dangerous delay at such a
late day in the session, It was our hope
that the amendment would not be adopted.
