Has Tested Mr.. Brandeis.

The President wrote that he believed
the reports of the subcommittee which
investigated the Brandeis nomination
already had made it plain that the
charges were unfounded. He said he
had seriously considered appointing
Mr. Brandes to his cabinet three years
ago, and at that time examined his
qualificat ations very thoroughly. he
added that he had tested Mr.. Brandeis
by seeking his advice on perpleXlng
public questions and had dealt with
him in matters where nice questions
of honor and fair play, as well as large
questions of justice and the public
benefit were involved The President
chara cterized Mr.. Brandeis as a friend
of just men and a lover Of the right.
81 knew from direct personal knowledge
of the man what | was doing when l
responsible tribunal of the nation" wrote
the President and he recalled that the
late Chief Justice Fuller had spoken of
Mr.. Brandeis as the ablest man who ever
appeared before that court.
Made Selection Personally.
Mr.. Brandeis he did not depend upon
Endorsements but nominated him be-
cause it was and i. my deliberate
judgment that. of all the men now at
the bar whom il has been my privilege
to observe. test and know, he is excep-
tionally qualified" He closed by saying
that II beg that your committee will
accept this nomination as coming from
me quick with sense of public obliga-

TO HOSPITAL
ON RESERVATION IS
Associations in East Washington 0p.
pose Suggested Location for
Municipal Institution.

While residents of the vicinity of 14th
and Upshur streets have been busy
making moves for the purpose of pre-
venting the construction of a municipal
hospital on the ground purchased for
that purpose, members of citizens as
sociations in the eastern part of the
city have been discussing the question
of preventing it's construction on res
ervation 13. Saturday night the
presidents of several associations in
East Washington met at the residence
of Evan H. Tucker. sth and A streets
northeast. and unanimously agreed to
wage a determined fight against the
construction of any additional build
ings on the reservation.
On motion of DIR. Charles M. Emmons,
president of East Washington Citizens
Association, it was voted to have the
presidents of the several associations
compose a legislative committee to urge
Congress to adopt a compromise measure.
which, he asserted, will relieve the situa-
ton.
Suggested Compromise.
In order to meet the immediate needs
of the chronic sick he suggested the ap
preparation of s15O,00O for the construc-
tion of One-story fireproof structur. at
Blue Plains, such appropriation to be-
come available Immediately. The build
ng, he said. could be constructed in
ninety days and be ready tor occupancy
before the end of the year.
DIR. Emmons also suggested the con-
structlon of a hospital for the treat
ment of tuberculosis on high ele-
walton far from the city, in pine
forest, with plenty of ground. Coiony
houses. he thinks. should be erected
ana ground should be allotted patients
physically able to do little garden
work and raise poultry.
Something to avert their attention,
he said.
The sale of the present hospital and
site. he urged. would net more than
money enough for such d purchase and
enable the District to conduct the in
stitution on much broader and more
beneficial scale.

big HOTELS Charge
FOR BREAD At MEALS
Some Lunchrooms to Make Egg Sand
wich Price J Cents.

Following the action OF two OF Wash
ington's leading hotels in making a
charge OF ten cents a person for bread
served with meals. a loca- firm which
controls several lunchrooms last night
announced that in the future there would
be two-cent additional charge on egg
sandwiches.
These instances are the first intimation
the public has had OF seriousness Of the
food situation. Washington has been
spared milk strikes owing to the prompt
action Of the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association in trying to
establish a municipal dairy, and local
bakers have not yet raised the price of
bread, although in some instances the
weight Of the loaf has been decreased.
It Is probable that other hotels Will
soon follow the example set by the two
mentioned and charge for bread. Several
managers said they lose money on sCme
Of the orders with which they serve
bread.
According to one hotel proprietor. 90
per cent Of the people who come into the
dining room eat an order OF bread and
butter before their meal is served. II this
meal Is a breakfast and the patron orders
eggs, fruit and coffee, 1t is served for
about 70 cents. With two orders Of
bread and butter going with it. the hotel

Inadequate Gas Service Continues to
Cause Trouble.

R. P. Andrews. 1903 Twenty-eighth

ceived communication from the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, saying that
the recent complaint filed by him
against the Georgetown Gas Light
Company had been submitted to the
proper authorities, and that G. e. Run
ion' inspector of gas meters. is now
conducting an investigation.
Mr.. Andrews said last night that
the gas service had not been bettered
in Georgetown, despite efforts or the
company to improve the situation by
blowing water out of the pipes. Mr..
Andrews said that II the service is
not improved he will father petition
Tor action by the municipal govern
ment
I'VE have not sufficient light to
read by and many of us cannot cook
because the gas range will not pro-
duce sufficient heat" said Mr.. An

truth SOCIETY STRUCK
BY PRESIDENT wilson
Executive Considers Body in Light Of
Fake"
By the International News Service,

CBy the International News service.)
Asbury Park. N. j., Oct. 1.-President
Wilson in answer to criticism directed at
him by the American Truth Society and
its president, jeremiah A o'Leary, takes
the ground that the organization Is fake
institution. II can be stated with author
ity that this characterization of the So
ciety was made at the time that the
Presidents reply to Mr.. O'Leary's orig
inal telegram criticising the Chief Execu-
tive's alleged pro-British policies was
made public.
In that message Mr.. Wilson told Mr..
O'Leary that he would feel very much
aggrieved If he (oLeary) or anybody like
him voted for him.
It cannot be charged that this appar-
ent political indiscretion which threat
ems to eliminate sufficient number of
votes to Democratic party to make defeat
certain in November, was committed by
a lieutenant.
Mr.. Wilson was present when the
O'Leary telegram and the reply were
made public. His declaration that the
American Truth Society was a fake Or
ganization was made at that time.
On what Mr.. Wilson based his opinion
of the society of which Mr.. O'Leary hap
pens to be the president was not stated.
He appeared to be indignant that a mes
sage such as Mr.. O'Leary had sent him
should have been delivered to the Presi-
dent OF the United States.
Individuals In constant communication
with Mr.. Wilson assert that before maxi
ing his speech at Shadow Lawn yester-
day he realized he must win without the
backing Of the pro-German vote or the
financial interests. Plainly, they say, he
has set out TO gain any advantage that
may be obtained by defying these fac
tions.
Mr.. Wilson will leave here on Tuesday
for Omaha. where he will speak on Oc-
tober 5. 1t will be his FIRST invasion of
the West.
