was greatly amazed and angered n;
the way Mr.. Gordoa was pressing on
him In reference to this matter. Mr.
Gordon came TO Washington and ap-
parently was desirous OF having Mr
Loud's assistance. / remember very
well that Mr.. Loud complained bit
terly OF the treatment tha; was a.
corded him By Mr.. Gordon and vas
very indignant"
Did Mr.. Loud ever tell you that
Gordon was In Washington lobbying
for the Electric or Holland boat com
pany!"
Il don't know that he used the
word lobbying. but he gave me to
understand that was what ho was here
for"
In the latter part of 1906. when
the naval affairs committee of the
house had completed its labors, he
said, Mr.. Loud was pleased at the
otucome and desirous that Gordon
should know the part he played In
bringing 1t about
Was the impression Mr. Loud
created on your mind that the infor-
nation he desired conveyed to Mr..
Gordon was OF an improper act?"
Il would Rot say SO. The only thing
/ remember that appeared improper
was the impression left upon me, by
Mr.. Loud's statement TO me that
Gordon was imposing upon him and
did not think 1t was right FOR Cor
don to make these attempts.
Mr.. Marlborough testified that on
February II, 1908. he had received an
unsigned and undated communication
from Washington. Five days later he
gave his interview to the Detroit pa
per. The communication was read
by Chairman Boutell.
Norman Johnson, Of New York city
general counsel for the Electric COM
pany, testified that he named the
various lawyers who had been en-
ployed by the company during the
past five years and told the reasons
for their employment. He denied that
he had ever given instructions 20 any
counsel Of the company to frame
amendments to any pending legisla-
tion.
He said the company had never
contributed a cent to the political
expenses of any one nor had ever
tried TO elect or defeat any candidate
for congress.
August Treadwell, Jr., assistant
secretary and assistant treasurer of
the Electric Boat Company, made a
general and specific denial of the
charges against the company. The
committee then adjourned.

husband, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt.
which was filed in the supreme court
yesterday, was taken today before
David Mcclure Howard Kempster,
the personal valet of Mr.. Vanderbilt,
was one of the witnesses called The
fact that the valet did not depart
with his employer on the Maure.ania
yesterday caused some comment, but
his appearance before the referee
would indicate that the reason he did
not do so was the desire of the par
ties to the action TO rush matters
through. Whether he appeared under
subpoena or by agreement was not
shown When the hearing was ad-
journed none of the persons interest
ed would talk for publication, but it
was admitted that the evidence and
recommendations of the referee pro-
badly would be in the hands Of the
court before Mr.. Vanderbilt reaches
the other side on the ship Maureta-
