LILLEY SNUBBED BY SCANDAL COMMITTEE Connecticut Congressman Who Made Charges Against of Congress in Submarine Boat Contracts Gets Cool Reception. EXPERTS CRITICISE SHIPS OF THE AMERICAN NAVY Rear Admirals Remey and Goodrich and Lieutenant White Declare That Armor Belts on Men of War Are Placed Too Low. peclal Dispatch tw The Inter Ocean. WASHINGTON, D. C.

March 9. Representative Lllley of Connecticut, who charged that members of Congress have been Influenced by the lobby working to secure appropriations for submarine vessels for the navy, was snubbed today by the special committee appointed by Speaker Cannon to Investigate the scandal. Representative Bou-tell of Chicago Is chairman of the committee. Lllley's request to have witnesses summoned was denied until the progress of the investigation clearly demonstrates the necessity for their presence. It also declined to allow him to employ counsel to ex-tmine and cross-examine witnesses.

Llller Beta "Skmdowed." Lllley appealed to the committee for protection, declaring that he is being shadowed and annoyed by private detectives. The committee, after considering his requests in executive session, adopted a resolution asking Lllley if the detectives have hampered him in bringing evidence before the committee, and if this is true it will do everything possible to protect him as a member of the House. Lllley made demands on 1 ttv committee and refused to give his testimony relating to the charges of graft until witnesses have been summoned. Lllley appears to be afraid to show his hand, and as the result of his unwillingness to testify the committee adjourned until Thursday. W.

R. Kerr of Chicago was one of the witnesses Lilley wanted subpoenaed, the others being Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina, counsel for the submarine company; E. C. Creecy. E.

W. Creecy, P. B. Landis. and W.

B. Gordon of this city; Isaac I. Wright, Elihu B. Frost, Morris Bennet. and August Treadwell, officers of the Electric Boat company.

Armor Plates Too Low. That the armor belts on American battle-ships are too low, with the exception of those on the Delaware and North Dakota, was adduced today in testimony before the Senate committee on naval affairs, which is Investigating the criticisms of construction. The witnesses wbo gave this opinion sere Lieutenant Richard t. White, assistant inspector of target practice, and Rear Admirals George C. Renfey and C.

F. Goodrich Tbey agreed that if battle-ships could go imp action With the designed orans. tnelocatlon would- be amnft right; but'tbnrt it -was their observation that the ships bad greater Graf is in actual service than tbey are theoretically expected to carry. Rear Admiral Goodrich, commandant of the New York navy yard, said that he thought the proper location of the armor belt is just where the water line will divide it equally This, it was declared, is just where the bell is designed to but when the ship carries an extra draft It submerges too large a pa oor Hester Gives Ills Oelalea. Rear Admiral Remey told the committee be would locate the armor belt with reference to the proper load water line when tbe ship Is equipped to go into battle.

He thought It the duty of a commander of a battle-ship to have full stores on board if possible in going into battle. He excepted coal, but thought tbe bunkers should be at least two-thirds full. Lieutenant White said that if it mere pbs-sible for a ship to get, into action at the designed load draft the present location would be about right, but it was his observation that the ships had greater drafts than those designed. He thought the drafts would be till greater under war conditions. His oplnicn was the same ae that of Commander Sims.

ho is the inspector of target practice. Chairman Hale read a letter from Secretary Metcaif elating that after the plans for the battle-ships Delaware and North Dakota had been approved an officer (Lieutenant Commander Hill) recommended that the irmor belt should be raised thirty inches. The department offered his criticism to the board on construction, and the original designs were declared to be right. The officer made rejoinder and the matter was then referred to Rear Admirals Brownsoo and Evans, who also declared that tbe belt as correctly located. Hoist Turret Brat.

The committee directed tbe inquiry into the charges that the turrets on battle-ships are unsafe and endanger the lives of the crew. The witnesses agreed that the divided, or two hoist, plan is far better than the old. Lieutenant While said that safety demands that the turret proper shall be structurally separate from the ammunition handling room. The two stage hoist Is one way to effect this, but he thought it might be possible to construct- a direct hoist, so that the bandllng-room could -be isolated. He preferred the two stage hoist and declared that the shutters- now in use In the 'direct hoist are "most Inefficient." Describing the shutter, he said it -is so constructed that grains' of powder could easily get through the slit for the lift rope In the event of an accident overhead.

Admiral Goodrich was asked about the German navy in "sticking" to the 11-Inch goo. The Admiral said the 12-Inch gun was better than tbe 11-inch, and the 13-Inch better than the Tillman called attention to the fact that Commander Sims a few days ago gave the name of-Admiral Goodrich as on of the men who would corroborate him in the declaration that the department would not accept officers' criticisms. Reports Are laraored. "Have you-made reports to the department criticising any matter- of construction?" asked Mr. Tillman.

"I have." replied the Admiral. "I have made several suggestions which have not borne fruit." Admiral Goodrich said that in 1902 be bad recommended the abolition of tbe military masts with their tops. He said these masts were heavy, and he knew of no Instance where they were of value. The ships now being designed, tbe Admiral said, do not have these fighting tops. "Then the suggestions did not fall on barren ground," said Mr.

Tillman. "I cannot flatter myself that my letter had anything to do with the decision to do away with this feature' said the Admiral. Kills Hla Bralkrr-is-Law. MOUNT CLEMENS, March 9. Fred Anea today shot and killed his James McClelland, at the Utter farm, west of the village of Warren.

GHASTLY1 MISSILES USED BY STUDENTS Entire Class at University of Chi cago Is Practically Suspended Because of Ghastly Actions in the Dissecting-Room. Because student of the medical school at the University of Chicago severed fingers, toes, esrs, and other portions of the humsn body from the subjects in the dissecting-room and used thm as missile with which to bombard students of Hitchcock hall as well as pedestrian along Flfty-Seventb street, forty of them face expulsion unless the guilty ones confess and exonerate the others. Up to date those guilty are unknown to the professors and those possessing a guilty knowledge of tbe perpetrators are keeping mum because of the "college honor," which forbids tbem to tell tales.

Eatlre Class Blamed. The entire class- of -forty, however, received a distinct shock yesterday morning when they found their names scratched from the list on the bulletin board of those who were to lake examinations. They were informed that until tbe names of those guilty cf the ofiense against tbe dead wore known the entire class tanst n'and ostracized. Tbey were told they would not be permitted to take their exsminatlonsnd no credU would be given for the work of tbe last quarter. The students are up In arms because of lh-i edict of the faculty, 'and threaten to carry the matter Into the courts if they are not permitted to take their examinations.

They claim that it Is unjust that the entire class should suffer for a prank In which but three or four students were engaged, yet. refuse to divulge the names of tbe guilty ones. The faculty refuses to recede from its position. Toe anatomy building, from the windows of which tbe stucents threw the portions of the subjects, was closed to the students yesterday. Mast Hsir Cesfesnlos.

Dr. Robert Bensley and Harvey -say it will -the guilty students come forward like men and exonerate their fellow students of blame. There was talk yesterday of expelling the entire class unless tbe ones guilty of tbe outrage are made known. Tbe affair occurred Friday afternoon, according to the men in Hitchcock hall, who reported the matter to the faculty. At first pedestrians slong Fifty-Seventh street, on which the snatomy building abuts, were the targets of the students, and one woman is said have.

fallen. ia a faint when first a finger, then sn ear, and later other portions of a human body fell about her. I Tiring of this sport, the students are said i to have turned their attention to the students passing to and from Hitchcock hall just across the way. When the easily detachable parts of the cadavers were gone the students smote their fellows with por- I tlons of bones, ribs, vertebrae, and bits of i fesh. After the supply of missiles was ex hausted it is claimed that tbe ground about the entrance to Hitchcock hail resembled field hospital of a battle-field.

It is believed by the faculty that the shut ting off from participation in the examina tions, will either 'orce those who had no art In the outrage make known tbe names of tbe guilty ones or will so appeal to the manliness of the guilty ones they will confess In order to spare their innocent comrades. "TELL ALETA," SAYS SUICIDE ELMER HILL LEAVES PUZZLING MESSAGE. lareata (asset laderstand What Is Me-aet I aldeatlfled tilrl Sweetheart la Sewwat. Private detectives employed by Alonzo H.

The body of the young man was found in his father's office yesterday morning by Charles Mitchell, the-cashler. A bullet wound In the head and a revolver told the story of suicide. That brooding over a love affair caused the young man to end bis life is the thcorv of his family. This theory is supported- by a note found on a desk la the office. Written in an unsteady hand on a scrap of blue paper were found these words: Glrl'a Ideality la Soesht.

Good -by, all friends. This world I don't like, except papa and minima and my brother. I think the next world Is really where we are meant for and to this I am going. Forgive me. P.

S. Mamma, tell Alcta, will you some time?" This note wss unsigned. Two others of like nature were also found near at hand where they had been torn and thrown. Who "Aleta" may be, is a mystery. It is known by his family that he had been receiving letters from Lake Geneva andi Delavan, written by a girl he met at a Michigan summer resort several years Last week he received a letter from her asking him to come and spend a few days at her home.

Telia Mother of "Aleta." He mentioned the Invitation to his mother and spoke of "Aleta." It is surmised by tbe family that she Is a daughter of wealthy parent who live at Lake Geneva. Alonso H.

WARNS BRITAIN HOT TO STIR GERMAN WAR Rosebery in Approving Decision of Government to Suppress Kaiser's Letter Tells Nation Latter Has Army of 4,000,000. Ppei-lil fable Diatch to The Inter Ocean. LONDON, March 9. Brusque refusal by the British government to publish mysterious correspondence between Lord Tweed-mouth snd the German Emperor, and Lord Roscbery's warning to Britain not to make itself ridiculous by stirring up strife with a nation which can put 4.000.000 men into tbe field, were tbe developments in England's latest war scsre today. In the House of Commons Acting Premier Asquith announced that the government has derided to keep private tbe personal letter written by Emperor William to Lord Tweed-moutb.

First Lord of the Admiralty. In which, it was charged by the London Times, bis majesty attempted to influence legislation in the matter of the naval estimates of Great Britain. How tbe derision will please the country remains to be sten. Since A. J.

Balfour, speaking for the opposition. Indorsed tbo of the Cabinet, it may be predicted that the public may consider the incident closed. The remark made by Lord Rosebery in tbe House of Lords that tbe nation was leaking itself ridiculous over this affair finds much support. Tbe discussion today was brief and dry. All the participants proceeded as if they were walking on eggs, for criticism of tbe ruler of another nation is a delicate business.

Barks Kosebers. The fact that Lord Tweedmcuth consult Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Serretsry, be-fore replying to Emperor William's letter was tbe only new fact brought out, and It relieves Lord Tweedmouih of ali suspicion of disloyalty to. tbe navy. The character of Emperor William's letter li no sf generally understood. Tbe spiciest passage Is' believed (o be the reference to Lord Esher that he had Jbetter occupy himself with drain pipes and keep his hands off the navy.

Lord Ksher was engaged in Improving tbe drainage system Windsor castle when Emperor William there recently. An amusing feature of tbe affair is that all the sensational newspapers of London are lecturing tbe Times for its sensationalism in exploiting, tbe story. TKeeaBMslksslslBS 'Speaking "Iff the tipper' charhbeY. iLoftf Tweedmouth describes the Kaiser's letter as quite Informal and very friendly. He expressed surprise at what he called tbe "extraordinary outburst of the press." Continuing, be said he had received several letters from the German Emperor.

He assured tbe house tbat suppression of the letters and his reply was the proper course and calculated to do what everybody so earnestly desired, namely, foster a good understand ing between tbe German empire and Great Britain. Lord Lansdowne, leader of the opposition In tbe House of Lords, twitted Lord Tweed-mouth with not being able to keep his own secrets. He tbougbt the naval head bad a right to keep the letters secret. The feature of tbe session in tbe House of Lords was a speech by Lord Rosebery, who had she Prince of Wales in a seat beside him. The former Premier made an attack upon the yellow" Journalism of England.

"We have witnessed," Lord Rosebery said, "the whole world drawing the absolutely insane inference tbat the German Emperor was attempting to influence Lord Tweedmouth with tbe rlew of cutting down tbe naval estimates and checking the increase of British armaments. Hoaeberr Waraa British. "Tbe yellow press took up this trivial incident to excite morbid suspicions between the two countries, suspicions which, in my opinion, gradually are developing into danger for the peace of Europe." Continuing, Lord Rosebery reminded the country tbat Its friends or today might be tbe enemies of tomorrow, and vice versa. Thoughtful observers, be said, should not overlook the fact that tbe German armv of 4,000,000 men represented practically the German nation. Before any German government could declare war It must have the nation behind It, and It could only have support In a war against Britain hen the feeling of the nation had been so exasperated as to render peace impracticable.

In view of the anti-German excitement prevalent at the present time, especial interest sttaches to the official announcement made this evening that tbe Prince and Princess of Wales are going to Germany the end or this mcntb to visit Emperor William and the Empress. CITES GERMAN SOCIAL POLICY. Professor fym Aaserlea Haa Mark to Leara Krosa "Fa aerlaad." Professor Charles R. Henderson spoke before a large audience at the meeting of the Germanistlc Society or Chicago last night on "What America Ha to Learn From the Gp.raa Social Policy." He said in part- The Germans early recognized the increased danger and hardship for the laborer and his family, occasioned by the old regime of unrestricted competition, under the transition to an age of machinery and of laree capitalistic enterprise. "Acting upon this they have devised the relief afforded by a pioneer social policy, that is a pattern for all nation.

Thl policy has been rendered efficient by legal measures that make the group responsible for the safety and elevation of the masses of those who, in positions of dependence, are forced by circumstance to toll as laborers in the service of others. "The aim Is to create and sustain community sense of responsibility to the Individual worker in tbe. industrial process, and to treaj him a a human being and not as'a mere thing. Prominent among the various means nsed by the Germans for reaching this end la industrial has taken the shape of Insurance against illness, accident, and disability or old age.
