ing that the Liliey investigation could be stopped If the Electric Boat Com- pany bought out the Lake Company, was the last witness before the conn mission today. He admitted that be- fore the Newport contest, he had ap- preached Mir. Rice, of the Electric Company. as a broker with proposf- tion that he should buy out the Lake Company. naming as a basis for nego- tiations s1.000000 of preferred stock and an equal amount of common stock of the Electric Company if the Lake Company should win in the New If 1t should lose. Mir. Brown made from any one for what he did. but said he merely acted on his own responsi- bility in endeavoring to bring the two concerns together. Mir. Brown said he dismissed tho entire matter until on March IT, when going to his office, he read of the Lilley investigation and thought conditions were ripe for re- suming his negotiations. He went to MT Rice and again proposed a consoi- idation of the two companies. Mfr. Rice asked whether in case the Lake Company was bought out, the investi- gation would be stopped.
 'I said sure; make that a sine qua non to the agreement" said Mir. Brown in explaining his connection with the proposition to stop the investigation. He said that he mad no ground on which to make that proposition, but took 1t as a matter of course. that if as he read in the newspapers, the Lake people were back of the investfRa- ticn. by buying them out the investi. gation would be stopped.

BOAT INVESTIGATION
CHARLES FLINT AND GRANT H.
 BROWN TESTIFY.
They Tell Special Committee of At- tempt to Consolidate the Lake and the Electric Boat
 Companies.

Washington. April 20.-Charles R. Flint of New York today testified be- fore the Lilley Investigating Commit tee, concerning negotiations for a mer- ger between the Lake and the Electric Boat Companies prior to May 1907, when he said he was appointed by Grant Hugh Brown who called on him with a view of securing a consollda- tion. Mir. Flint, since 1904. had been interested In selling boats for the Lake company abroad He favored some form of an agreement between the two companies to avoid conflict of pat ents and to promote their business in foreign countries.
 Mr' Flint devoted considerable time to denying the testimony of Simon Lake that he (Flint). had carried on negotiations looking to a merger of the Lake Boat Company with the Electric Boat Company; though he admitted that he had been informed of a desire on the part of the Lake people Ito have peace" subsequent to the com mencement of this investigation.
 MT. Flint testified that the contract prices paid to the Electric Boat Com pany by the United States govern ment. which Mir. LiIley alleges have netteQ that COulpdHJ ah SAtIHHANb pIOl if of $1.4O0,000, are not in excess of prices paid for submarines by foreign Governments to the Lake Company and the Electric Company.
 Mir. Olmsted. In pursuing the alle- gation of existence. sought to have Mir. Flint tell how much he was paid as selling agent In Europe for the Lake Company Mir. Flint preferred not to answer such questions. saying they re- lated to private business.
 Besides" he said. the question of my compensation is a complicated mat ter to go into. For instance. an item of my expenses In selling submarines to Russia was a telegraph and cable bill of S3o,00O for three volumes. two inches thick. of dispatches. In accord ance with my calculations the Russian government paid tanis bill"

CURRENCY COMMISSION

 The action of the committee was taken in the afternoon after a meeting lasting all day. Representative vree- land appeared before the committee and made long argument ;n favor of his bill. saying he thought it would be criminal negligence for Congress to adjourn without preparing sorne measure of protection in the event of another panic this fall. He did not. however, think that a panic was srn- minent. MT. vreeland said that his bill was an emergency measure only. and he favored the appointment of currency committee to consider banking and currency law.
 Representative Ebeneger Hlll of Con- necticut replied to Mir. Vreeland, se- verely critic:sing his measure, which. he said was the Aldrich bill, pure and simple. with two sections omitted. The committee then went into executive session to consider the measure. The session over, it was more protracted than over the Aldrich bill. which was tabled last week by unanimous vote. The Vreeland bill had some supporters. ana when the vote on the motion to table 1t was taken, Messrs. Weeks (Mass.). Buston (o.), and Mckinney (Ills.), voted in the negative. Those voting in the affirmative were Messrs. Prince (IiL). McMorran (Mich.l Weems fo), Waldo (N. Y.), Hayes tCal). Jujo t(La.), Glass (Va.1, Gillespie 5Tex.). James (Ky.), Crawford. (N. e.. Mccenry, tPa.), and Chairman Fowler. AS in the case of the Aidr.ch bill. the conmittse. decided to give no reason to the House for it's action. simply ra% porting that the measure had been ta- bIed.
 The motion to report the Fowler cur rency commission bill was adopted, 10 to 3. Those voting in the negative were Messrs. Pujo. James and Craw- ford, while Messrs. Burton and McHen- ry voted present.
