Defends Mr.. Brandeis.
Lieut.. Gov. John M. Eshleman OF
California, president Of the California
railroad commission at the time the
advance rate cases were pending,
next took the stand, explaining that
he happened to be in Washington and
that somebody had given his name to
the committee as a witness. He Wig
orously defended Mr.. Brandeis.
1T have no charges to make" he
said Our state was interested in
these cases and I have never been
able to tell why Mr.. Thorne feels as he
does about Mr.. Brandeis' action, and
have not found any railroad COM
mission man who does not agree with
me. Mr.. Brandeis never suggested to
should get the per cent increase
they were asking for. And as to a
breach of faith and unprofessional
conduct charge, / want to say that ii
Mr. Brandeis had been appearing be-
fore me as president of the California
railroad commission I should have felt
very much surprised II he had not
stated his position frankly.
There has been too much of a ten
dency in this country by those repre-
senting commissions to think that
they must agree with all the conten-
tfons of the public. A representative
of a commission should be impartial
in presenting his conclusions. I think
Mr.. Brandeis' action was entirely JUS
titled under the letter asking him to
become special counsel for the COM
mission"

With the campaign closing tomorrow

Continued from FIRST Page.)

confined hereafter to telling specific
facts affecting the propriety of con-
f1rmation of this nominee. I have in
mind C. W. Barron of Boston. who was
called here because of en- editorial on
this matter. 1 assume that he may
have little direct knowledge. If he has
will be glad to hear him."
Senator Clark protested.
This is an investigation and not a
| trial." said he. II shall hold that wit
they take the stand" Senator Cum
mins took the same attitude.
View of MT. Brandeis' Duties.
Frank Lyon. attorney for the COM
mission in the 1910 rate case and at
torney for the Pittsburgh Coal Com
pany at the 1913 case, testified that in
the latter case he considered Mr..
Brandeis' duties the same as those he
Lyon) had performed in 1910, and he
had regarded himself as bound to bring
to the attention of the commission any
facts favorable to the railroads as well
as to the shippers.
Did you express any view as to the
disposition of the case in 1902" asked
Mr.. Thorne.
II did not" responded Mr.. Lyon. II
thought my duty was to present facts
and leave the disposition to the COM
mission"
you recognized Mr.. BrandelS QlQ tnat.
asked Senator Cummins.
Eyes, sir
Mr.. Lyon said that he thought Mr..
Brandeis' brief in the 1913 case was an
impeachment of the contention of the rail
roads in that he pointed how they could
get increased revenues in manner vastly
different from their own proposals.
Responding to further questions by
Senator Cummins, Mr.. Lyon said:
Il think it is only fair to Mr.. Brandeis
to say that was an unimportant employe
of the commission in 1910, assigned to the
rate case. Mr.. Brandeis was brought in
as an important individual from the out
side and might have a different point of
view from NINE" said Mr. Lyon
Senator Cummins characterized that
statement as an argument.
Complains Against Mr.. Brandeis.
Thomas C. Spelling of New York, at
torney for the Freight Payers League,
complained that Mr.. Brandeis. as attor-
ney for other eastern shippers during
the 1910 advance rate case, failed to
oppose the advance with the "impreg-
nable defense offered w the so-called
burden of proof ar idment to the
commerce acts of 1911. Furthermore,
he said that Mr.. Brandeis set on foot a
compromise Of the case when the inter-
est of the public was against any COM
promise. and that Mr.. Brandeis showed
pad faith by taking his (Spelling's)
brief on the burden of PROOF amend
ment, keeping it two months and re-
turning it with such remarks as ''ab-
OF the association which employed Mr..
Brandeis. he said. took the brief on
condition that the substance would be
incorporated in Mr.. Brandeis brief.
