co n IRmATI0N
DEL. D. BRANDE|S
Six of Men Foremost in Public
Life Send Letters of Their
Opinions as to Uniitness of
Brandeis

washinxton, March H.-Former Presi-
dent Taft and six other former presidents
of the American Bar Association today
protested to the Senate judiciary sub
committee against confirmation OF the
nomination Of Louis D. Brandeis for the
supreme court. The others were Simeon
E. Baldwin. Francis Rawle. Joseph n.
Choate. Elihu Root, Moorfield Story and
Peter W. Meldrim.
The first six sent letter stating that
they felt under the painful duty to say
to you that in their opinion. taking into
view the reputation. character and pro-
fessional career of Mr.. LOUIS D. Brandeis.
he is not a fit person to be a member or
the supreme court Of the United States.
Mr. Meldr.In wrote from Savannah, Ga, :;
My reason for refusing 70 approve was
that the reputation of Mr. Brandeis at
his home bar marks him an unfit p@rson
to be appointed.
Both letters were read to the committee
today by Austen c. Fox attorney for
the opposition to the confirmation, at the
reopenng of public hearings.
William F. Fitzgerald. Boston broker,
testified as to Brandeis' connection with
the old Old Dominion Copper Co. case.
In 1903, he said, Brandeis was employed
by Towle G. Fitzgerald to help get proxies
to gain control of the company. They
we're successful and after electing new d.
rectors it was found necessary to raise
more funds. Finally, Fitzgerald testified,
it was planned to consolidate with ire
United Globe Mining Co, adjoining. and
to give the Old Dominion stockholders,
some of whom Fitzgerald represented. a
two to one interest.
An engineer employed by the Old DO
r,inion to examine the properties recon-
mended however, Fitzgerald testified,
that the Old Dominion stockholders
should receive a four to one interest.
FITZGERALD said Brandeis countenanced
the directors in concealing this report
from the stockholders and the public for
two or three weeks. Fitzgerald added
that when he protested to Brandeis the
latter responded that he had better go
in with the merger or get on the band
wagon.
Fitzgerald testified that his partner re-
signed from the board of directors as a
result of the incident.
Edward F. McClennen, Brandeis' law
partner. testified that he was not faml-
lar with the plan of financing the Old
Dominion company but could not con-
ceive Of any immortality in the affair.
Senator Cummings cut short Mr.. Nc
Clemens testimony by remarking that
Mr.. Fitzgeralds testimony had made no
impression on him and the committee re-
cessed until tomorrow to hear additional
witnesses regarding the Old Dominion
case and the merger of the Boston gas
companies.
