Air. Colby's final reason for resigning.
It was learned, was because of Inter
ferences to which his examination of
witnesses has been subjected by mem
bers of the committee.
In this connection, while he was ex
amining Duncan Maelnnes. chief ae-
lountant of the Department of Finance.
Assemblyman Ilurr Interjected several
iii'stlons. which led .Mr. Colby to pro
test to Senator Thompson and to others
In the room. At that time Mr. Colby
said It was ns If he had made a fine
painting and Assemblyman Hurr had
mine along and smeaied It.
The pschology of cross-examination
Is u iltllcati) thing to Mr. Colby, he let
It be known, ntid his work was seriously
Interfered with because he had to keep
one eve on Senator Thompson and the
other c)e on the witness
Se nator Thompson said thot for the
remaining days of his Investigation the
committee will have to do the best It
can.
"We niusii t lose sisht of the object
of this Investigation, which It definitely
mid completely to pursue to the end the
subject under consideration." he said.
"We must do this tegardies of col
latr-.il details or personalities,
The nves'lgntion win continue: we
have very nolo counsel who havo bean
connected with the committee since the
beginning. We will meet us usual nt
11 o'clock to-motrow and Mr. Shonts

He said later he was not then posi
tive that the cross-examination of Mr.
Fronts would continue at that time.

Wabiii.soton, Feb. JO, A. 1" Dad-
mun, secretary of the Navy League, has
aant a letter to Henry Ford In which he
says:
The attention of the Navy League
1km been directed to n statement to the
effect that you have made provision for
the distribution of 2,000,000 copies of
the speeches of representative Clvde
Tovenner of Illinois as pnrt of a coun
trywide campaign against preparedness,
I wrlto to request that, If this be true,
you Includo In such distribution, In
fairness to the Navy League, the fol
lowing statement Issued by Hepreeeiita
live Tnvenner under date of December
, 1915:
I have fought the Navy League be
cause of Its opposition to the proposal
that the Government shall make Its
own supplies or war. If tne nhv
Longue will recant on this proposition
I will withdraw my demand for an
Inquiry Into Its affairs and assist In
framing a bill for adequate defences.
For your Information the Navy
League doe not oppose the Government
mahiifitctuie, of wiir munitions, it
stands for Ihe mode of manufucluie
shown to be most efficient In time of
peace mid beet uble to supply the de
mands that would come should war
occur.
"I would also ndvlse you that on the
very day of the issuance of the nbove
statement by Mr. Tuvennur he Intro
duced In Congress nt Its opening session
two bills, one culling for the expendl.
turn of l.U0rt,0O for the extension of
the facilities of the Hock Island Ar-
dial, situated in his district, and one
for the approptlatlon of $6,000,000 for
an armor plate plant, a!so piesumftbly at
Hock Island,
"In view of these fails 1 would re

the same unanswerable evidence he Is
shown up as a man seeking to use

Washington. Feb. :n. oillclats of
the Wilson Administration are again
showing concern over the delay of the
House committees In nctlng on the de
fence bills. Indications are that the
army features of the programme will
not be reported to tho House until some
time In April unless the Military Com
mittee speeds up more than In the past
ten days
As to the naval portions of Ihe pro
gramme It srems lo be agreed by all
the leaders that the House Naval Com
mittee will not be ready to report until
the latter part of April. President Wil
son and his advisers nie anxious that
the defeiue hills proper and the com
pleinentarv levenne legislation shall be
put through by the time the Democratic
iintlonul convention meets In St. 1ouls
on June 14.
That this end will be attained Is
doubted by leaders familiar with condi
tions In the Naval and Military committees,
It was the geneial expectation tnnt
with the abandonment by the Adminis
tration of the continental army plan
the House Military Committee would i
lie able to reach an early agree
ment on the defence hill entrusted to Its
cure. Hut things are not progressing
as satisfactorily In the Military Com
mittee as the Administration had hoped.
The evident detei mlriiitlnii of the com
mittee, backed by the Administration, to
throw the continental army Into the
discard and build up the national militia
has caused so much harsh criticism that
loi.initrnri- butt has been brought In
Ihe work of the committee. Although i
public hearings on the auny bill were
i closed ten days ago It Is utidersioon
j there has been Utile progress on the
measure since.
