COUNC|[MEN
TELL OF STAND
ON MARKET
Minority Members Plea, How
ever, Doesn't Meet With
Trades Council Views.

Only two Of the Common Council
minority members appeared at the
meeting of the Essex Trades Coun-
ell last night to explain their reasons
for opposing the new Centre Market.
as had been requested by the trades
body. They were Alderman Theodore
D. Gottlieb, of the Eleventh ward.
and Alderman Henry Hahn. OF the
Third ward. All of the minority
members were requested to attend
the meeting and give their views on
the market.
Four Of the absentees sent letters
to the council stating that they were
unable to attend. They were Alder
men W. F. Haas, E. Garfield Clifford
Frank w. Cam and Herbert L.
Thowless.
In presenting his views on the
market Alderman Gottlieb quoted
from an opinion given by the City
Plan Commission that the market
site would be of greater revenue to
the city II sold The city would then
receive taxes from the property and
greater sums in taxes from surround
ing property, which would then rise
in value, he said. Mr.. Gottlieb de-
clared that he was in favor Of city
market. as 1t undoubtedly tended to
keep prices lower. but thought that
1t should be built on less valuable
land. With the other minority men,
bers. he said, he was pledged to op-
pose the building Of a new market.
81 do not see how one of them can
go back on his pledge and retain a
shred of honesty" he declared.
Hahn Afraid of Increased Taxes.
Alderman Hahn referred to the
danger of a material rise in the tax
rate and said that he thought the
people of the city had expressed op-
position to the City Market In the
last election.
The tax rate was referred to by two
of the aldermen in their letters to
the council. IT agree with you per-
fectly when you say that the 'unem-
pioyed' should be taken care Of" AL
derman Haas wrote. "but l do moi
believe that 1t should be done at the
expense of the property owners"
Henry Hilfers, secretary of the
council. and many of the members
smoke in answer to the aldermen. Mr.
Hilfers declared that there are more
men out of work in the trades unions
than at any other time ne can re-
member. He urged that civic i'm
provements be carried out now while
labor is cheap and money can be
borrowed at low rate OF interest.
Mr.. Hilfers insisted that a city
market Is a necessity. and must be
maintained in a place where II Is
easy of access to people in all parts
of the city.

Dresden at Liberty,
Sinks British Bark
German Raider, Escaping Pur-
suers, Active Again Off
Coast of Chile.

By the Associated Press.
VALPARAISO. March 1s. = The
crew of the British bark Conway
Castle. sunk by the German cruiser
Dresden of Corral Ia seaport Of
Chile). on her way TO Liverpool with
a cargo of barley. was landed here
today by the Peruvian ship Larton.
The Conway Castle. ship Of 1881
tons, left Newcastle, New South
Wales, September II for Valparaiso,
where she arrived November 2s. Her
movements after that date are not
recorded in the maritime records.
The sinking of the Conway Castle
is the first exploit of the Dresden re-
ported since the naval battle CT the
Falklands, in which she took part.
After this fight, British and Japanese
cruisers are reported to have searched
for her vainly in the south Pacific for
some time. She is supposed to have
been in hiding, but the Valparaiso re-
port indicates that she has not en-
tirely ceased her raids upon British
commerce.

CAPTAIN
IS DEFENDED BY
VON BERNSTORFF
Ambassador Says Declaration
of London Guided Sinking of
American Vessel.
GOVT OFFICIALS HEAR
CAPT. KlEHNE'S STORY
Question Over Two Members
of Frye's Crew Held on
Eitel.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Coupt
Bernstorff, German AMBASSADOR, In
discussing with state department Off
cials today the sinking of the Amer
lean ship, William P. Frye, defended
the action OF Captain Thierichens. Of
the German auxiliary cruiser, Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, containing that he
acted under the declaration of Lon
don, which was the only guide he had
as to disposition Of prizes.
The ambassador, before going to the
state department, conferred with
Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache of the
embassy, who returned yesterday
from Newport News, where he went
to hear the story of the sinking Of the
American vessel from the commander
Of the Prlnz Eitel
Count Bernstorff did not present
any note to the state department and
said he had received no instructions
from his government. He sa d he
called to discuss the question infor-
malIy and to learn what was the view
OF the United States.
Contends Action Justified.
In defending the action of Com
mander Thierichens, the ambassador
contended that when the officer left
Using Tau, at the outbreak of the
war last August. he had nothing 20
follow but the declaration of London
in deciding what to do with yes lels he
might seize. For that reason, the ann
bassador argued, he had a Fight to
- nj rryF1 ~or
was consigned to ''order' and destined
to a fortified port of the enemy. So
long as there was no port into which
he could take his prize, he had right,
the ambassador contended. to destroy
not only the cargo, but the vessel it,
self.
Furthermore, the ambassador ar
gued that the commander of the
Prinz Eitel, when he sank the Frye,
did not know that a German pr.ze
court on August had held that the
mere fact that a merchant ship was
bound for an enemy port was not
sufficient proof that her cargo was
destined for the enemy.
The case OF the Frye, however, the
ambassador said. would have to be
settled in accordance with interna-
tional law, because of the present
status OF the declaration OF LONDON.
I'VE do not intend" he said, to
disregard the judicial niceties in the
case"
while no formal comment was
made at the department after the
German ambassadors visit. officials
took the view that although the cap
tain of the Prinz Eitel may have
been acting under the declaration OF
London and ignorant of its status.
that might be a factor in relieving
him from personal responsibility, but
would not affect the case as between
the United States and the German

SERVICES OVER
BRANDLEYS WILL
Be HELD TODAY
Victims of Triple Shooting tc
Be Buried from Old
Home.

The triple funeral of the Brandley
family was held this afternoon from
the house at 81 South Mum avenue.
in which Mrs William G. Brandley
killed her husband. son and herself
early Thursday morning. Only i'm
mediate members of the family
were present when the bodies were
taken from Holes morgue shortly
after noon and brought to the Mum
avenue address. The funeral was pri-
vate. Interment was in Fairmount
Cemetery
The relatives present at the funeral
included George c. Brandley, Of Cald-
we'll. brother OF the dead man; Mrs.
Eleanor Grey, of 46 Vermont avenue,
mother of Mrs. Brandley, and Mrs.
Frank Lowney, OF Alexander street,
a sister OF the dead woman. Several
floral pieces were sent to the house
fort was made to keep away the Gu
rious from the funeral.
The autopsy performed by County
Physician William H. Mckenzie
showed that William G. Brandley,
the husband, believed to be the first
victim of the shooting. was shot
twice. The first bullet entered the
left cheek near the mouth, lodging
in the flesh and not doing any serious
damage. The other bullet entered the
mans right breast and pierced his
right lung. An examination showed
the bullet had stopped in the hus-
bands back.
Twelve-year-old Lucas Brandley
wss shot in the mouth by his mother
as he was sleeping on couch. The
bullet went through the boys neck
and was found on his pillow by the
police. Mrs. Brand ey killed herself
N the same manner as she did her
son. A bullet was sent through the
roof of her mouth into her brain,
causing death instantly. She was
fourd In a sitting position beside her
sons couch.
The mystery of what caused Mrs.
Brandiey to lose her reason and kill
her husband and son, to whom she
was devoted, was not cleared by the
autopsy. In fact the report of the
county physician makes the finding
of a cause for the supposedly sud-
den insane fit more difficult. DR.
Mckenzie declared that up TO the
time she committed suicide Mrs
Brandley apparently had been en-
joying good health.
Prior to the tragedy Mr.. Brandley
and his son, Lucas, also had been in
good health, according to the county
physicians report. The theory that
Mrs. Brandley feared an approaching
physical breakdown and brooded
over this until driven insane was dis
PEELED by the autopsy. The authori-
ties and relatives are still unable to
give q reason for the shooting.

eral days ago that new forces OF

explanation was given that this was
merely a shifting of troops such as
is made at regular intervals, and It
was understood That the troops now
in China would he withdrawn on the
arrival of the new forces. Subse-
quently. however, II was intimated
that the garrtsons now on duty
would be retairied pending the settle
ment of the differences which have
arisen consequent to the presentation
by japan of demands upon China.
