ment of Commerce that the steamer
Matanzas has been chartered by private
parties in New York. and will sail for
Rotterdam to bring back manufactur-
ers supplies cut off since the war be-
gan. The vessel will leave Wednesday

were dropped through fear of seizure.
This vessel" an announcement by
the Department Of Commerce says,

cal line, including dye-stuffs, which may
be there for shipment and which are
the property Of American citizens and
intended for consumption in the United

The textile industry has been handi-
capped through lack Of dye-stuffs, the
supply Of which has been furnished al
most wholly by Germany. Manufactur-
ers Of pharmaceutical. products have
been as hard hit by reason Of failure
to import chemicals needed in sucn
manufactures.
Congressman Herman A. Metz of New
York arranged for chartering the
steamer, with the knowledge of the De-
partments Of State and Commerce.
Great Britain has given assurances that
it will not hold up shipments Of Ger
man goods. by way Of Rotterdam. COM

the South are not permitted to urge

Mr.. Donovan a Connecticut Democrat,

Homes of 281 Tenants
Raced as InSanitarV

Two hundred and eighty-one tenants
were required to obtain other quarters
during the fiscal year ended June 50 as
the result of the action of the board
for the condemnation OF insantiary build
ings in ordering the demolition Of 1o7
houses. Seventy-one of these houses
were in streets and thirty-six in alleys
according to the annual report of the
board submitted to the Commissioners
today. 1t was necessary, the report
states. for the board to demolish two
buildings because of the refusal of the
owners to remove them. The houses re-
naming in the alleys, 1t is stated, are in
fairly good repair and their condemna-
ton under the building regulations is
not warranted.
During the year III buildings were re-
paired by order of the board. The num-
Der of persons benefited by the repairs
is estimated at 377.
Since the organization of the board in
1906 1895 houses have been demolished
and ,S32 repaired through its action
The total number of tenants required
to seek other quarters in that time Is
5,51 and the number of persons bene-
fitted by repairs 4,50l.

LAWYERS IN ROW
Formerly lnseparable. Thorne
and Brandeis Have Falling
Out-Thorne Accuses.

WASHINGTON. May 6--The attor-
neys who have been most prominent
in opposing the five per cent ad-
vance in freight rates are in big
row, and the trouble has reached
point where they are openly making
accusations against each other.
Clifford Thorne, representing the
railroad commissions of several West
ern States, and one of the chief pro-
testants against the proposed in
crease, specifically repudiates Louis
d. Brandeis. special counsel for the
commission, as a spokesman for the
shippers He charges that Mr. Bran

stead OF representing the shippers.
practically conceded the contentious
OF the carriers for an advance.
Mr.. Thornes attack on Brandeis
was filed in the form Of supple
mentary brief at the interstate com
merce commission.
The brief, which was made public
late this afternoon, created something
of sensation. as Mr.. Thorne and
Mr. Brandeis have, until now. been
inseparable in their presentation of
the case to the commission. Rail-
road attorneys here express the opin-
ion that the view taken by Mr..
Thorne and his attack on Mr.. Bran
deis, indicates that the latter's view
reflect those OF the commission in
the case more certainly than was 1t
first thought.
