articles purchased and testified that
supplies he purchased came to him
without adequate billing and inspec-
ton. Bologna he said, cost the board
more than veal.
Alderman was steward on the
steamer Dio which previous witnesses
said was the ship concerned in the
manipulation of fuel oil at Rio de
Janerio with alleged profit to it's
captain and some of its officers of
$4,000. He said he had nothing to
do with this matter and was not ask
ed to join in it. He did corroborate
testimony of previous witnesses that
sufficient meat was taken on board in
the South American port to last the
ship for nine months, the meat being
bought by the captain. Some of the
meat he added, was thrown over
board after the ship put to sea be-
cause it spoiled.
Officials of the Submarine Boat
Corporation, in a statement issued to-
day. took exception to testimony CIV
en- before the committee yesterday by
Thomas H. Purtell, who said he was
an inspector of hulls in the corpora

veting work there as fierce
The statement claims the vessels,

he inspected, only recently have been
examined by the department of the
experimenting engineer and found to
be entirely tight and seaworthy.
The corporation officials say the
ships in question have been thru Sc
