of Himself
!; HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTS
Investigation Of Alleged Submarine
Boat Scandal Results IN Man Bring
ing Charge Being Severely Scored
Accused Of Bad Faith and Of Being
Fool.

Washington, May 20.-That Repre-
sentative George l.. Lilley, of Connec-
ticut, was not warranted in bringing
charges against certain of his coll
leagues in the house and accredited
members of the press, is the conclu-
sion reached by the special committee
who investigated the methods en-
pioyed by the Electric Boat Company
of New Jersey, In connection with
legislation before congress.
In an exhaustive report submitted to
the house today, Chairman Boutell and
his colleagues review the testimony
brought out before the committee In
the hearings, extending over several
weeks and declare with entire unanim-
ity that no member OF the house and
no member Of the press have been in
duced by offers OF the Electric Boat
Company to act from corrupt or i'm
proper motives.
Furthermore the committee finds
that Lilley allowed himself to be used
as an instrument of the Lake Boat
Company in questioning the. integrity
and fairness Of members of the inves-
tigating committee and in attacking
the submarine company. Lilley Is
charged also with maintaining an at
titude of bad faith, both in bringing
the charges and concealing from the
committee the identity Of the real par
ties in interest behind the investiga-
ton.
The investigation grew out of a res
olution introduced by Lilley in the
house February 20 last. asking that a
committee be appointed to investigate
the conduct Of the Electric Boat Com
pany Of New Jersey and their prede-
cessors, the Holland company, respect
ing the methods employed by the
companies named, in connection with
past and proposed legislation before
congress. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on rules,s and
on March 8 the committee reported
back, recommending that the speaker
name q committee of five to investi-
gate the charges, which was done. The
hearing began March 9 and closed
April 30. Testimony was taken in

London, May 20.-The half concealed
-izzle Of the Franco English exhibi-
ton has excited the kings wrath Up
to date it is an exhibition with prac-
tically no exhibits. It OPENED in rain
and furs and feathers that got wet.
Many distinguished people from all
over the world came here only to be
uncomfortable and disappointed. King
Edward today sent one of his personal
friends down to the exhibition grounds
with message to the manager that
was more forcible than polite. Had it
come from Mr.. Roosevelt instead Of
the king of England and the En-
peror of India, the message would
probably have been couched in some
such words as IT would like to kick
your head off for making us such a
laughing stock"

Whether the "out to win" slogan or
ganizer, E. E. Taylor, or the state
chairman of tile prohibition party, j.
B. Hammand, is the rightful one to
steer the prohibition party to success
at the polls this fall was threshed out
Yesterday afternoon at the specially
called meeting OF the county chairmen
at the state headquarters.
j. B. Hammond won out and will
hold the leins Of authority until the
state party prohibition convention,
which will be held in the Y. M. c. A.
June %, when some change may be
made. At the conference yesterday it
was conceded that Mr.. Taylor, who was
organizing "out to win" clubs in the
state, was exceeding his authority
when he undertook to start clubs to
push certain candidates altho he did
not hold a contract with the state CEN
trail committee
He was appointed to do such work
in the Seventh district, but it was
claimed against him that he widened
his territory to other districts.
He was supposed to have held the
nominal office OF secretary of the state
central committee, and the accusation
brought against him yesterday was
that he exceeded his perogatives OF
office both as secretary and organizer
of clubs i'm this district. 1t was claimed
that he has already hired ten men to
go into the state field.
