LOUD CONTRAD|CTS WITNESS
DENIES STATEMENT BY FRANK
EDINBoRoUGH.
Says He Never Complained of the
Repeated opportunities of At
torney Gordon.

Representative George A. Loud of Michi-
gan today denied before the special House
committee investigating charges against
the Electric Boat Company that he had
complained bitterly that w. G. Gordon
of his district. an attorney of the COM
pany. had "borne down upon him in the
matter of submarine legislation as teSti-
fed to Friday by Frank Edinborough for
merly his private secretary. He said Mr..
Gordon had not done nor had he in any
way threatened him with political opposi-
ton; neither had he urged upon him the
subject of submarines
Mr.. Loud said that when he had learned
of Mr.. GOrdon's employment by the t,lec-
trio Boat Company he had expressed eX-
treme regret that Mr.. Gordon had accept
ed employment with the company. He
also denied knowledge of causing Il let
ter or telegram to be written. as teSti-
fed to by Mr.. Marlborough. informing Mr.
Gordon of his action in committee in vot-
ing for submarines. He said he could find
no record of such letter. He also had
expressed regret while on a trip on the
Dolphin to number of representatives
among whom was Mr.. Lilley. that the
Electric Boat Company had employed an
attorney in his district. No one had ever
intimated to him. he said. that Mr. Cor
dom would become a candidate against
him If he did not vote for submarines
Mr.. Loud said he had never been in
fuenced by any one outside the naval af-
fairs committee. but have always" he
continued upon my judgment, voted for
what l deemed best for the naval service
and my duty as member of that COM
mittee.

LIBERALS CONFER.
Change of Leaders May Cause Cal bi-
net Crisis.

LONDON. April 6.-An informal confer
ence of ministers under the presidency Of
Herbert II. Asquth. chancellor of the cx-
cheduer. was held prior to the commence
ment of today's sitting of parliament and
the situation was discussed in a general
way the premier-elect being anxious 10
hear the views of his colleagues relative
to the prospect of cabinet changes, now
that the necessity of its reconstruction
has actually materialized. In view of the
lack of success at the recent elections the
cabinet will be rearranged so as to avoid
as far as possible election contests, made
necessary when members of the house of
commons or holders of undersecretary-
ships are elected to cabinet rank.
The liberal leaders appear to be quite
well satisfied with the situation. but some
of them question the power of such an i'm
perialist as AsQuith to keep the laborites
and socialists from breaking away from
all allegiance to the government coali.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Viscount
Aoki, Japanese ambassador, has ar
ranged to leave Washington Monday
afternoon, and will sail from Toxic
from San Francisco Jan. Z. The osten-

with especial reference to the immi-
grafton question.
Before he can get to Japan, how
ever, a new agreement between the
two countries will be put into effect,
by which it is proposed to limit the
number OF Japanese coming into the
United States. No new treaty is to
be negotiated, but protocols have
been exchanged, under which Japan
promises to take the immigration ques-
ton into its own hands, limiting the
number of those given direct pass
ports to the United States 10 certain
classes of students, professional men
and expert laborers. The coolie classes
will not be permitted to leave Japan
for the United States, according TO
the terms of the agreement, which
will be practically identical for Can
ada and the United States.
