submarines
In case of the United States be-
coming engaged in war, do you think
it should be the policy of our fleet to
remain in harbor?" asked Represen-
tative Hobson.
mo, do not" answered the admiral
emphatically. "The fleet should not
be in any one port, but should be out
at sea and should stay there"
do you think" asked Representa-
tive Hobson, that small or a large
number of submarines would have any
material effect on the control of the
sea?'
1.-THE control of the sea would, not
be materially affected" replied the ad-
miral.
IF Germany had 500 submarines, do
you think it would be much more eff
fective for Germany?''
mo, doubt it," said the admiral
He added, however, that submarines
nevertheless could seriously obstruct
an enemy's operations and make their
battleships resort to great deal OF
Inconvenience and disadvantage"
Nevertheless, insisted Mr.. Hobson,
mo German battleships can venture
to sea so long as the battleships OF
another nation control the sea?''
That" replied the admiral, Seems
to be the controlling factor in the sit
uation.'

had been found in pool of blood In
the ditch near where the car had orig

ans handkerchief was found nearer
the car, about six or eight feet from
the wrench and that the stained piece
OF linen shown him looked very much

night.

ticed hat which was taken from out
of some part of the back seat but he
could not say just the location When
shown the chain he said that it had
the appearance of being the same one
that he had seen lying across Mellott's
chest. The right trousers pocket, only,
was turned out, according to Mr..
Bowers, and he also told of seeing
tracks which led fifteen or twenty
feet across corn field away from
the car, to clover pasture and that
from their size he thought them to
be those belonging to man and a
woman. The one point of difference
with this witness and the others was
that he was positive that Mellott wore
a vest, when found, while the others
testimony varied as to his garments.
He also said that no autopsy was held.
Interest is intense.
Again today, all day long, the in
terest in the case now on trial has
been intense if the crowds in the
court room are an evidence. Every
available space has been taken for
sitting or standing room and the over
flow has crowded out into the upper
corridor of the building opening out
of the court room. The defendant
evidences the greatest apparent inter-
est in the questions that are PROFOUND
ed to the witnesses by the counsel on
both sides and listens with attentive
ness, sitting forward in his chair
part of the time and again leaning
back resting his head. His father,
mother and brother sit with him and
his counsel at the front of the room
Immediately before the Judges bench.
AS great an interest is being taken in
the testimony of the different wit
nesses by Mrs. Mellott, widow of the
slain man, and her two sons and
daughter who sit toward the front of
the public section of the room. Often
the woman has been seen for many
minutes with her face buried in her
handkerchief as the story of the crime
has been told over and over again.

Representative Roberts of Massa-

Fletcher about the actual condition
of the American submarines, and he
finally testified there was only one

alterations by contractors, because OF
defects developed after they had been
