Trip U Made by Auto,
He made the trip- by automo
bile, traveling in luck and cover
ing the 20 muddy miles across the
desolate prairie In a little less
tbaa .two hours. The dirt trail
pter which he came, pronounced
Impassable yesterday, had improv
ed over night and except for ai
few detours and much harmless
skidding the Journey was with
out iacident. :
Th motor road was chosen by
tit president-elect despite the
fact that the narrow gauge spec
ial train on which he made an
unsuccessful attempt to escape
hit night from the. marooned
froint, had been held !n readiness
for a renewed attempt today. The
rtscne party of automobiles spent
nost of the forenoon picking a
practicable way to Point Isabel
and Mr. Harding quickly accepted
tkrir offer to bring htm Ini

Just before the departure the

c-ne game of golf and many hours
of hovering about the little wood

Texans said the storm was the
worst that locality had experi

lie any prediction that the point
ever woold become thea, country's

Riveting Was Fierce.
The witness was Thomas JI.
Purtell. who described himself-as
"an expert riveter of the old
school." In 1913 he was engaged
a . knll. ot tia
work In this yard he described as
"fierce.' He aaid his superiors
would not support him In bis con

he sent President Wilson "some
samples" in the form of defective
rivets.
He could not say If the presi
dent ever saw the "evyidence.
but he did know he was "firjed
for sending It." ' 1.
"They gave me only just about
enough; time to get my clothes
and get out of the yard." he said:

answered his complaints throngh

given his hack ppy. . He wjf sent
to the . Standard Shipbuilding

testified, "that . my record had

He named "hull 13," among
others as an example of alleged
poor riveting work. Asked if this

asked how It was that ships on
which he alleged poor riveting(
was done were still afloat and the
witness said be could not tell. He
afterwards said that poor work
might not cause a ship to break
down for four or five years. He
challenged the committee to go
with him tp any ship they mi?ht
name that was built during the
war In some of the yards' and he
would point out to them evidence
of poor work.
He asserted that it should take
at least one or two years to train
a riveter properly, but admitted
that during the war emergency
ships . were needed quickly and
that skilled men could not be had.
In his work as inspector, he added
he had charge of two hulls at a
