the Appam and sank half a dozen
other British ships at sea. follow the
Appam across the Atlantic TO Amer

Heavily censored cablegrams
from London declaring that "a
large passenger steamer has met
with a terrible accident in the
north Atlantic" and implying that
other liners have been captured or
sunk in the north Atlantic steam
ship lanes by German commerce
raiders. are borne out by a state
ment from w. d. Everth second Of
hcer on the British ship Author.
The Author was one Of the vessels
sunk by the Moewe before the APP
pam was made a prize
I'm my opinion the Moewe is now
lurking in or near the gulf Of Mex
leo and will be heard from again
soon unless caught by British cruis-
ers. =" declared Everth. The German
wireless operator of the Appam
talked with the Moewe every night
on the voyage from the Canary is

International News se.rice


WASHINGTON. Feb. Q. - Grave
charges against Louis ID. Brandeis,
nominated by Pres't Wilson as su-
preme court justice, were made in a
public hearing today before sub
committee of the senate judiciary
committee. Clifford Thorne, chair
man Of the Iowa railroad commits
sion, caused a sensation when he de-
liberately told the committee that he
believed the presidents candidate
guilty of:
1-Infidelity. breach Of faith and
unprofessional conduct in connec-
ton with one of the greatest cases
of this generation.
2-Committing himself as counsel
for the interstate commerce commits
sion 10 the proposition that return
of - per cent on railroad capital
is not adequate. although the COM
mission itself had fixed that rate as
an adequate one.
The charges delivered in a calm,
deliberate tone took away the breath
Of the solemn state subcommittee
and made the crowd in the commit
tee room gasp. He reviewed in de-
tail the conduct Of himself and Mr..
Brandeis in the railroad rate case
of 1910 and 1913 before the inter-
state commerce commission. He
sought to show that Mr.. Brandeis
after acting for the shippers in 1910
had become attorney for the COM
mission in 1913 and had not acted
in good faith.
Precedents since the adoption Of
the constitution had decreed that
such an appointment must be con-
sidered only behind closed doors and
with the greatest secrecy from the
public.
The subcommittee today began
investigation of three important
phases of Mr.. BTandeis' record. They
are:
Used Information.
His connection with the United
Shoe Machinery Co. of Boston. Of
fcials of the concern charge that
after organizing the company. he
deserted il and Illegally used in
formation he had acquired 20 his
capacity as an attorney.
His practices in the famous Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy in which
he directed the movement which
finally forced Sec'y Of the Interior
Ballinger TO resign.
His record in the railroad rate
cases in which he acted as counsel
for the interstate commerce commits
sion. Allegations have been that he
was first on the side OF the shippers
and then on the side Of the railroads.
The witnesses under subpoena
when the committee convened were
Clifford Thorne railroad commits
sioner of Iowa. who was associated
with Mr. Brandeis in the railroad
rate cases; s, W. Winslow, president
OF the United Shoe Machinery Co.
of Boston; p. ]. LennoX and James
J. StarrOw. Of Boston; Thomas c.
Spelling Of New York; @. W Barron
Of the Boston News bureau: Lieut..
Gov. John NJ. Eshelman, of Califor-
MIA. and Joseph NJ Teal of Oregon.
These were considered merely the
vanguard Of a host of witnesses.
There was every indication that the
committee has several weeks work
before it.
