order of the Secretary of the Treas

suited about any of the contracts under this

before the committee and complained that a
witness had been examined in reference to his
private affairs and that he had not been
notified to be present to hear the testimony

the witnesses. He had much experience in
committees, and it had been his uniform
practice whenever a witness made a statement
involving member of either house to sus-
pend the examination and to send for the
member. He simply asked for that measure
of courtesy to himself. He denied any con-
nection with the Sanborn matter, except what
he would be glad to tell. Four ballots were
taken for United States Senator by the
Massachusetts, Legislature on the Sth.
