Honolulu, April 19.-The United
States submarine F-4, submerged on the
ocean floor outside the harbor since
March 25, was raised twelve feet early
o-day and towed inshore until it rest
ed on the upward inclining bottom. The
salving crew postponed further work
until the lifting tackle was strength

The satisfactory work done thus far

Chairman of industrial ReIa-
tons Commission Accused
by Brainard H. Warner.
CONDUCT UNBECOMING
A GENTLEMAN ALLEGED
Held to Have Overstepped Bounds Of
Propriety in His Examina-
ton Of Witnesses.

Charges against Frank p. Walsh,
chairman of the industrial relations
commission. have been filed with the
President by Brainard II. Warner of
this city. alleging conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman in his
treatment of witnesses before the com
mission. These charges relate particu-
larIy to the cases of John D. Rookie
feller, jr., and w. l.. Mackenzie King,
who recently appeared before the com
mission. Mr.. Warner refers to the
newspaper and stenographic reports of
the proceedings in support of the
charges.
Mr. Warner today declined to give
out a copy of his charges but said he
had preferred them in representation
of a number of business men who re-
gard Chairman Walshs conduct of the
examination of witnesses as having
gone beyond the bounds of propriety.
Mr.. Warner has named Charles A. Dou-
glas as his attorney for the pressing
of the charges in case the President
orders an Investigation into the con-
duct of Chairman Walsh.
These charges are the elimination
of a widespread feeling in the busi-
ness world of indignation at the man
ner In which Mr. Rockefeller and other
witnesses before the commission have
been treated by the chairman.

dispose of them as he deems best. 1t
is not regarded as likely, however. that

for the removal of Chairman Walsh.

not relished Mr.. Walsh's methods. but
have taken no action to rebuke him.
