The Stanley Matthews committee met today, and was in secret session until 1:30 o'clock, when James E. Anderson was called as a witness. He asked to be represented by counsel,when the room wasagain immediately cleared to consider the request. In about five minutes they decided nat to grant if, and upon being informed ot that fact, Anderson per- emptorily refused to testify, when the doors were agiin closed to cousidér what to do. When the door was again opened the Chatr- man informed Anderson that he should answer t © questions which they might see proper to put. The Chairman asked Anderson his age and occupation. Anderson replicd he had no desire to throw obstacles in the way, but Sen- ater Matthews was a lawyer and Was here looking after his interests, and Anderson did not see 2, he should not have a lawyer to look after his own interests. The Chairman again asked Anderson his age and occupation. Anderson declined to answer. The Chairman ‘then asked whether he had Placed any papers in Matthews’ possession, and if :o what. Anderson declined to answer. Senator Whyte said:—You mean simply to say that you set at defiance the will of this committee Anderson.—You put it too strong. I simply wish to say I decline answering. L have to pro- pose that if Senator Matthews will go betore the Potter committee I will testify.” ‘The room was cleared for consultation con- cerning Anderson's refusal to answer. When the door was opened Mr. Anderson Was informed by the chairman that the com: mittee had decided that they would require his testimony before the committee. He then sked Anderson, “ Are you now willing to an- ‘wer such questions as ay be propounded to y Anderson answered," 1am not.” The Chairman.—Then in refusing to au- swer any question pertaining to the matters of investigation, you set this committee at defi- ance. Senator Whyte said, in the absence of the Senate, we have no power to punish for contempt, and therefore I move that this com- mittee now adjourn, subject to the call of the ebairman. This motion was agreed to, and the commit- tee aecordingly adjourned. ONLY ONE PROVIDED For.—The Post Ollice appropriation bill provides for only one gen- | superintendent of railway mail service.
