TORPEDO BOAT INVESTIGATION
Lawrence Spear, the Former Naval
Officer Who the Alabama Repre

Secure Him a Place on the Naval
Affairs Committee For His Influ
ence, Denice Point Blank Hobson 's
Charge. -
Washington, Special.-The state
ment of Representative Richmond P.
Hobson, of Alabama, before the spe
oial committee of the House investi
gating the charges made by Repre
sentative George Lilley, of Connect
icut, that he had been approached by
a representative of the Electric Boat
Company, wbo offered to use his in
fluence with the Speaker to have Mr.
Hobson placed on the naval affairs
committee if he "stood right on sub
marines" was contradicted before
that committee by Lawrence Spear,
the former naval 'officer who Mr.
Hobson said had spoken to him. Mr.
Spear said he had not made any
promises to secure the influence of
Speaker Cannon or any one else and
that ho never had tried to influence
them; in fact, he said, he did not
know the Speaker. Mr. Spear
claimed that his company had never
endeavored to suppress competition:
had never received any legislative or
departmental favors and had never
received an order from the Navy De
partment except as the result of suo
cassful competition.
Newspaper Men Testify.
The other two witnesses of the
day wore A. A. Erly and Frank "B.
Lord, two of the newspaper men
whom Mr. Lilley charged he had
been warned against as in the pav of
"he Electric Boat Company. They
both denied that they were ever in
the pay of the company althoueh
said they bad done special cork for
Mr. McNeir, one of the attorneys for
the company in the wav of getting
out some "feature stories" on sub
marines, for which they had boon
oaid. Both witnesses testified that
they had Inst their positions as the
result of Mr. Lilley's charges. Mr.
Lord characterized the repudiation
by Mr. Lilley, of an interview he
"laimed to have had with him as
"unqualifiedly, asolutely and delib
erately untrue."
Regarding an interview which he
said he had had with Mr. Lilley, in
which charges were made against
Representatives Sherman. Griggs and
others and which Mr. Lilley had re
pudiated, Mr. Lord said the inter
view was absolutely correct. "In that
denial," continued Mr. Lord, "Mr.
Lilley said what was unqualifiedly,
absolutely, deliberately untrue, for
he uttered every word that was
printed."
Mr. Lord stated that as the result
of Mr. Lilley's charges he had lost,
his position. In answer to a ques
tion propounded by Mr. Littleton
Mr. Lord said that a complaint by
Mr. Lake had been made to his pa
per about something he had written
concerning the Lake Boat which also
may have been instrumental in hav
ing him discharged.
Mr. lord said he could not remem
ber the exact amount he had receiv
ed from Mr. McNeir for writing the
special ?stories but he thought it
was between $500 and $00. He said
he did not consider that he was work
ing for the Electric Boat Company
when he wrote these stories; that he
did the work for Mr. McNier. "
Mr. Lilley has filed with the com
mittee an unsigned communication
received from Philadelphia statins:
that "William Dulles, of New York
City, and Robert McA. Floyd of Cold
Springs Harbor, N. Y.. both formerly
directors of the Electric Boat Com
pany, resigned because of the amount
used for corruption or for which
would make no accounting."

Shepard Kollock,- of 44 Wallace
St., Red Eank, N. J., is a remarkable
man at the age of 98.
For 40 years he was
a victim ot kidney
troubles and doctors
said he would never
he cured. "I was try
ing everything," says
Mr. Kollock, "but my
back was lame and
weak and every exertion sent a sharp
twinge through me. 1 had to get up
several ames each night and the kid
ney secretions contained a heavy sedi
ment. Recently 1 began using Doan's
Kidney Pills, with fine results. They
have given me entire relief."

The
General Demand
of the Well-informed of thc World has
always been for a pimple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent part? are known to them to be
wholesome tnd truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to thc system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demaud with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of thc laxative for ?ts remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

Steel is gradually supplanting wood
in constructive work, wherever prac
ticable, especially in frame work. In
these days, says the Richmond Times
Dispatch, no railroad company thinks
of building a wooden bridge or per
manent trestle. Some of the roads
are even building their cars of steel,
ajid they will inevitably come to
