.L|TTLETON WILL
APPEAL TO HOUSE
FOR INVESTIGATION
Congressman Attacked in
Steel Committee Probe
Wants Vindication.

Following the refusal Of Chairman
Stanley to have the Steel Investigating
Committee inquire into q newspaper at
tack upon Congressman Martin Little
ton, members of the committee, Mr..
Littleton announced today he will ap-
peal his case to the House early next
week.
Rising to a question OF personal privi-
lege, Mr.. Littleton will ask the House
to reverse Chairman Stanley and to
order an inquiry by Q special commit
tee into the authorship Of the news
paper attack which accused Mr.. Little
ton OF being an ally Of the Steel trust.
Chairman Stanley and Congressman
Bcall and McGillicuddy. the two Demo-
cratic members Of the Steel Committee,
take the view that that committee has
no jurisdiction to probe the charge In
yolving the personal integrity Of one Of
it's members.
Mr.. Littleton said this afternoon that.
owing to the shortness of time between
this date and the opening Of Congress,
he would appeal to the House proper
instead OF to the individual members
Of his committee.
The charge to which Mr.. Littleton OBJ
jects was based on his attitude that az
the Government has instituted suit
against the Steel trust the Stanley Conn.,
mfttee ought to cease its hearings.

PANAMA NAIL BID
NOW PROVES TO Be
COUNTER PROPOSAL
Hawaiian Steamship Com.
pany's President Gives
Out an Explanation.

Stating that ships designed to meet
the Governments specifications must
depend entirely on the $750.0o0 annual
subsidy offered for the Panama mail
service, the Amer.cGn-Hawaiian Steam
shiE Company's mysterious IBID" has
proved net to be a bid, but q counter
proposition, to this Government.
The bid" which has attracted 30
much attention since it was received
Saturday. viii bs opened this afternoon
at 8 o'clock by Postmaster General
Hitchcock, and Second Assistant Post
master General Stewart.
The AInerican-Hawaiian Steamship
Company which IL credited with hav-
ing the largest fleet Of American ships
in point Of tonnage, said that the ships
II ow owns could not be mrde {" con-
form to the specifications Of the Gov
ernment. 1t does net consider the s,ib-
sidy q sufficient tnducement TO war
rant the building Of new ships fer the
mail service alone.
According to George g. Dearborn,
president of the steamship company. the
concern has offered the use OF its ships
in carrying mail at q price much less
than that which would be received by
a subsidized line. Mr.. Dearborn COM
panay has eighteen fourteen knot ships.

Sixteen-knot passenger boats to comply
with the Governments requirements
were figured on. but II was decided an
Investment In them would be unprofit-
able.
The counter proposition of the com.
pany is that 4 will carry the malls at
fiat rate Of I cents a pound. This,
so President Dearborn says. would cost
the Government 5000 a year. as
against a subsidy Of S750.oo0 Mr.. Dear
born has given out q statement In New
York that when the Panama canal ie
opened the fieet OF eighteen vessels Will
be Increased to thirty. and that al
though the cargo-carrying ships are two
knots slower than the ones called for
by the Government. the great reduction
in cost Of nail transportation would off,
set the difference.

company's offer public in New York

sition here this afternoon.
