WASHINGTON. March 31. The inves
tigation of the charges made by Repre
sentative Liley h gainst the methods pur
sued by tue Klectric Boat Company in
securing legislation was resumed by the
special commission of the. House today,
laac Ij. Rico, president of that company,
pronounced a "malirious lie" the state
ment of Mr. I-jHey that "the Klectric
Boat Company had made continued and
repeated efforts to influence the action of
the Navy Department."
Mr. Rice was the only witness at the
afternoon session. Mr. Olmsted read the
charge made by Mr. Ulley that the "con
tinued and repeated efforts made by rep
resentatives of the Klectric Boat Com
pany to Influence the action of the Navy
Iopartment and such e.Torts in the past
were so persistent and notorious as to
call forth the condemnation and criticism
of hiifh otik'ials of the Navy Depart
ment." "The only influence we have used with
the Navy Department, replied Mr. Rice.
"is to build the best boat. The rest of
the story is a malicious lie."
"Sounds Like Havings."
Regarding- the chare that the Klectrlo
Boat Company has suppressed competi
tion, Mr. Rice said:
"That is so utterly absurd it sounds
Bke ravings."
. He denounced the charge that the com
pany has subsidized newspapers as the
purest invention. Mr. Rice denied that
the company had made any contribu
tions to the campaign fund of any mem
ber of Congress, or had helped to defeat
any member who did not favor submarine
legislation. He said that the reports de
rogatory to the Klectric Boat Company
were being circulated by the Lake Boat
Company; and, while he absolved Mr. Lil
ley from any ulterior motive in bringing
these charges, he maintained that he had
irot his information from the Lake peo
ple Refused to Buy Out Late.
Mr. Rice said that he had been ap
proached on four occasions by represent
atives of the Lake Company with propo
sitions to buy out that company or to
merge the two companies and form a new
one. The representatives of the Lake
Company who approached him, he said,
were U. G. Brown and Charles R. Flint,
both of New Tork. Mr. Rice said that
he declined all the propositions.
Mr. Rice testified that he was given to
understand by Mr. Brown that these pro
posals were made contingent on the
present Investigation being stopped; that
It could be stopped If the consolidation
were effected.
"Did he say who could stop it? asked
Mr. Olmsted.
"He said through United States Senator
Bulkeley. of Connecticut," replied Mr.
Rice.
Mr. Lilley. through the committee, sub
mitted a list of 204 names to Mr. Rice,
dealing largely with the technical details
of submarine boats; names of, foreign
stockholders in the Klectric Boat Com
pany, amounts paid different attorneys of
the company, etc, Mr. Rice declined to
answer the questions regarding foreign
stockholders and fees paid to attorneys,
although he said he would give this In
formation to the committee for its secret
perusal. His failure to answer these
questions will be considered by the com
mittee at a later date.
No Woman Lobbyist.
Among the questions prepared by Mr.
Lilley and propounded to Mr. Rice were a
number relating to the alleged employ
ment of a woman by the Electric Boat
Company to influence members of Con
gress. Both Mr. Rice and Mr. Olmsted
of the committee objected to this class of
questions, which Mr. Rice denounced as
"an outrageous and a perfect lie."
Mr. Rice denied that large sums of
money had been spent in Washington for
champuKiie or entertainment of members
of Congress or ofticlals of the Navy De
partment or that his company ever made
a gift to any members of Congress or any
naval official.
SAYS THE DUKE WILL WORK
Shonts Defends Son-in-Lavr From
His Critics.
CHICAGO. March SI The Tribune to
day says:
"Hive the Duke a chance: he's a square
shouldered young man and opportunity Is
all ho wants," said Theodore P. Shonts.
in speaking of his new son-in-law, the
Puke de Chaulnes.
Referring to the debts ol the Duke, he
mid: "A man's debts may prove his
worth. It takes a good man to get into
debt and live comfortably. As to a title,
its possession or lack has nothing to do
with the worth of a man. A good deal
too much has been said about the mar
rinse. The young folks are now on their
honeymoon and shouldn't be bothered."
"is there any truth in the report that
the lnike is going to work?"
"Well." laughed Mr. Shonts. "the germ
hasn't broken out in virulent form yet.
hut watt until after the honejmoon. I
know that the young man is going to
plunge into a useful life, and he'll make
good. too. He'll find me ready to give
Mm all the encouragement and assistance
needed."
Mr. Shonts said he had no objection to
the marriage, as was reported.

attitude assumed by Fred D. Fisher, the
American Consul at Harbin, in the mat
ter of recognizing the jurisdiction of
Russia in Manchuria. Mr. Fisher insists
that Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria
is supreme, and, furthermore, he has sup
ported the protests of China against the
establishment in Russia of municipalities
in the railroad zone at Harbin and Chai
lar Independent of the Chinese govern
ment, and his attitude in this Russo
Chinese difficulty has prompted Russia
to seek an explanation of his course, both
at the American Embassy here and in
Washington.
Mr. Fisher Is accredited to China, and
since his arrival In Harbin in January,
1907, he has consistently refused to recog
nize or admit that he should have any
thing to do with the Russian administra
tion of the territory. He has been firm
in his assumption that he was accredited
solely to China, and he has declined to
act on suggestions conveyed to him by
an official of the Russian railroad ad
ministration, that he should secure the
permission of General Horvath, the Rus
sian Governor of Harbin, before opening
his Consulate or raising the American
flag over the building.
Under the treaty of 1896 Russia claims
exclusive control over the railroad zone
in Manchuria, as well as the right to or
ganize independent self-governing muni
cipalities. The Taotai of Harbin protested
against this to the Russian governor and
to the consuls of the United States and
Japan. The Japanese, who are now co
operating in the friendliest manner with
the Russians in Manchuria, rejected this
protest, but Mr. Fisher supported it. The
Foreign Office here expressed the belief
that it would be decidedly to the inter
est of the United States to recognize the
Russian Administration of Manchuria,
inasmuch as foreign residents share in
the privilege of this administration.
PROTECTING THE OPEN DOOR
America Seeking Recognition of
Chinese Integrity.
WASHINGTON. March 31. It is ad
mitted at the Stfcte Department that the
status of the American Consul at Harbin
has been made the subject of representa
tions to Washington by the Russian gov
ernment, but while negotiations are pend
ing the officials are loath to discuss it.
The important fact is developed, how
ever, that the American Consul, Mr.
Fisher, is not acting on his own initia
tive in declining to seek the permission of
Russia to exercise his consular functions.
On the contrary, it is urru -tood that he
is simply executing a carefully considered
plan of the State Department to bring
about through proper means a recogni
tion not only by Russia but by other na
tions interested in Manchuria, of the
integrity of -Chinese possessions.
