Jerseymen Scent Danger.

Replying to the arguments Of the
New Jersey delegation that longer piers
are needed to accommodate the big lin
ers OF the Hamburg American and the
Holland America lines, Colonel Black
said that he had measured the piers
and found that they were longer than
any ship now operated by either COM
pany. II was explained that there
we're other points on the New Jersey
side that could be utilized 10 advan-
tage. but the New Jersey representa-
tives insisted that there is danger OF
the big liners being driven from the
Jersey harbor'
Secretary Stimson closed the confer
ence by declaring that the pier problem
is now mp TO the city OF New York, and
that he will be glad To consider any
plans that contemplate permanent
system OF harbor facilities. He said
that he would withhold his decision and
await developments in Mayor Gaynor $
plan to launch the project for the con-
struction OF piers in the Desbrosses
street district, or elsewhere. providing
that there is not unwarranted en-
Croachment on the fairway.

THE VERONESE WRECKED;
PASSENGERS ABOARD YET
Heavy Seas Continue toI Break
Over the Liner, Rendering
Rescues Difficult.
IBy Cable to The Tribune. J

London. Jan. 1S.-News of very
serious nature was received late last
night respecting the wreck of the Lam
port and Holt liner Neronese, on the
Portuguese coast. near LeiXoes, Oporto
In to Yesterday evening only thirty
OF the 21s passengers on board had
been rescued and heavy seas continue
to break over the liner rendering the
work of rescuing passengers by
brooches buoy extremely difficult.
The vessel is holding out we'll but
provisions are beginning to get scarce.
It is impossible for lifeboats to reach
her, and many of the passengers would
have had to remain on board the yes
sci last night had not some splendid
work been done by the first and second
officers of the General Steam Naviga-
ton Companys ship. the Balgownie,
who are the only persons at LeiXoes
able to receive and transmit signals.
The British colony. too, is ndefatgable
in succoring the rescued passengers.
The captain of the Veronese has sig
nailed his thanks for all that is being
done. Cheering messages have been
sent to the liner from the shore.
Heartrending scenes were witnessed
when the fey rescued passengers
reached shore and asked for news OF
their relatives. The liner lies about
three hundred yards from the shore.
Several persons, including a number
Of children were drowned, owing to
the breaking of a lifeline. Two were
drowned while being landed, before
their parents eyes.
one Of those rescued from the Vero-
nese was girl. fifteen years old. She
said those on board were in a dread
full plight. as the ship was half sub
merged. Several passengers had been
washed overheard by the huge seas.
After the cable connecting the Nero-
nese with the shore broke several boats
tried TO reach the wreck but all OF
them were smashed on the rocks.
A number OF bodies, most or them oil
children. have been washed ashore
Two Portuguese Iongshoremen were
drowned while attempting 10 swim out
TO the wreck with line.
The port authorities are making he
role efforts to get another cable out to
the Veronese and save the remainder
Of the passengers and crew. Ii is
feared. however. that the vessel vii
not be able much longer TO resist the
tremendous seas. which at times com
pletely cover her.

Judicial Tyranny, Says Nelson.

Governor Suzer introduced SoDator Nell
son as "a dear old friend" The Senator
said that. while he had never been con-
WINGED OF Brandt's entire innocence, he
had taken the same view Of the case as
the Attorney General had. He added:
Assuming that Brandt was guilty he
was only a boy OF tWenty-one years. 1t
was his first offence and TO go 70 the limit
and give him thirty years seemed almost
judicial tyranny.

Mortimer l.. Schiff. in his letter 10 Gov
ernor Sulzer said that he still held the
same position as he did last February.
when. the matter being under considera-
ton by Governor Dix, he wrote this
statement:
II Brandts applics lion had been based

cent life | should not have opposed 1t;
