EXPERT ENGINEERS
 NEEDED IN NAVY
Hobson Places Blame for Frequent Disasters on
 Lack of Skilled Men.
fspecial from United Press.

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, Jan. 18-Following the accident on the Delaware, in which eight men were killed, yesterday, Rep resentative Richmond P. Hobson, member of the House Committee on Naval Affairs and formerly con structor in the navy, today, gave the United Press the following statement: (Copyright, 1911, by the United Press
 Associations)
 By Richmond Pearson Hobson) :.
 We shall continue to have frequent accidents in our navy just so long as we continue to lack a technically trained and highly expert corps of en- gineers, in my opinion.
 It is difficult to comment on such accidents as that on the Delaware, yesterday, in which eight men were killed by an explosion in the fire room, without knowing something of the circumstances and the probable cause. But, I cannot but associate them with the decline in engineering efficiency which I think has taken gineer corps and the line officers were merged. Since then, in my opin- ion, the navy has been the loser.
 This loss has been offset, somewhat, by the development of the warrant of ficers into trained mechanicians. How ever, IL IS not to pc eXpeCteu Ludl when a naval officers energies and abilities are spread over the whole field of naval activity, that he is go- ing to attain the best results in any one branch.
 I do not wish to criticise the per- sonnel in the least. The American naval officer, as a commander and as an all-around fighting officer, is of the highest type. But, I maintain. none of them are as expert engineers as they should be. I would like to See the establishment of a technical corps, the whole purpose of which would be to develop a signally skill ed force. A corps of specialists, in other words, should be created, which should give it's attention to the engi neering problems of the navy. Once In this corps, a man should stay in and be expected to know only enough of sea service to enable him to work Tn harmony with the sea- going divi- sion of the service. I believe Secre- tary of the Navy Meyer is doing the pest he can under the laws which are n force. However, in my opinion. we shall continue to have these distress ng accidents just so long as the pres mt system is permitted to prevail.

THIEVING PORTER
 HELD IN $500

Granville Stewart, porter at the University club, captured by Police man Ladd, who secreted himself in a closet in the wardrobe of the club yesterday, was held in bail of $500 for trial in the Superior court on the charge of theft of $81 from Attorney Sanford Stoddard.
 Stewart gave his residence as BPS Broad street. He acknowledged that he was the culprit whose thieying in the wardrobe has been a source of loss to the members for several weeks. His peculatiOns from MT. Stoddard represent, it is alleged, only a small part of his total loot.

TAFT FAILS AGAIN ON
 TARIFFF COMMISSION BILL
Special from United Press


 Washington, Jan. 1S-Another at tempt to get some sort of a tariff commission bill out of the Ways and Means committee of the House, was made, today, at a meeting of the ma jority members who are practically deadlocked. Today's meeting resulted from the various conferences of the committees Republican members with President Taft who has brought to bear all his influence to get a tariff commission measure before the House. His pet compromise, the Longworth bill, is practically dead. The Presi- dent has declined to accept the Dal- zell bill which tariff commission en- thusiasts say would create a useless commission.
 An attempt was made at today's meeting to evolve combination of the Dalzell and Longworth measures which the committee would accept. Even if the committee reports com promise, there seems little possibility now of it's passing this session, with the legislative mills just about chok- ed with routine work.
