8RANDEIS CHARGED WITH
>UNPRoFESsIONA CONDUCT.
A Boston Lawyer CIassed Him as "An
Able Lawyer, But Not Entirely Trust
worthy"

Washington, Feb. 1.-two witnesses
charged Louis D. Brandeis with un-
professional conduct today before the
Judiciary subcommittee of the senate
which is investigating his fitness for
confirmation as a justice of the SUI
preme court of the United States. They
were Sidney W. Winslow, president of
the United Shoe Machinery company,
and Hollis r. Bailey, a Boston lawyer.
The latter gave it as his opinion that
the bar of Massachusetts regarded Mr..
BrandeiS as IAN able lawyer, but not
entirely trustworthy"
Senator Walsh surprised the sub
committee when today'S hearing OPEN
ed by reading kilograms from Charles
S. Mellen, former president of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road, declaring that he knew nothing
against Mr. Brandeis about which Re
could testify regarding under oath and

been asked to appear in connection
with charges made by c. w. Barron of
the Wall Street Journal that Mr..
BrandeiS had at one time been en-
ployed OF wreck the New York and
New England railroad, which later be-
came a part of the New Haven sys-
tenn.
L am not at all unfriendly to Mr.
Brandeis and know nothing about his
career except hearsay,' said Mr.. Mellen
in his telegram. Republican members
think he should be called, but the sub
committee decided to let the question
remain open until the investigation had
further proceeded.
Mr.. WinsIow told the committee that
Mr.. Brandeis was guilty of unprofes-
sional conduct and conduct not be-
coming an honorable man" because at

Bill Introduced in Upper House of New
Jersey General Assembly.

Trenton. \. J.. Feb. Ex-senator
Acl<ley of Cumberland county last
night introduced bill in the upper
house of the general assembly design
ed to license operators OF submarines
and aircraft. In a statement attached
to the bill, the senator said:
1.-The reason for legislation of this
character is found in the fact that
apparently authoritative reports indi-
cate that bipIanes with searchlights
have recently been operating in Ger
tain sections of this state, adjacent to
large powder and munition plants A
further reason is found in the fact that
traffic of this kind is not and has not
been regulated and that no harm can
be done by providing for adequate
regulation of 1t at this time"
The bill would exclude craft operat-
ed by the federal or state governments

London, Feb. Is, AS p. m.-Shorn
for the first time since the death of
Queen Victoria of the pomp of roy
al procession, the new parliamentary
session was opened today. Though
important matters concerning Great
Britains conduct of her campaigns
are to be brought up Immediately
there was little sign in the approaches
to Westminster of public interest in
the proceedings. But for the presence
of a number of ladies listening to the
kings speech, the upper chamber
would have had a bare aspect, as there
were not 20 peers present when the
five commissioners, whose duty it was
to open the parliament in the absence
of King George, took their places on
the Woolsack.
Following the reading of the kings
speech, the proceedings adjourned I'M
til o'clock The speech from the
throne was read in the house of COM
mons when it reassembled. The pas
sage in it in which Great Britains
fee was described as mistaking force
for right and expediency for honor
was loudly cheered.
Ian Mcpherson moved the address
in reply to the speech from the throne
He said the first thought must be
of thankfulness that the king, the CEN
ter of the imperial unity, should now
have recovered from the mishap which
he sustained when with his troops at
the front, where the hearts and hopes
of so many of his subjects were. He
dwelt on the onerous nature of the
duties of the throne at present, but
said that nevertheless no duty had
been left unperformed by the king or
his royal household, no effort had
been spared to bring the word of

LANSING ASSERTS THE BRITISH
Note ON SEIZURES FROM THE U, S,
STEAMER China DOES NOT SATISFY

Washington, April 12.-Secretary Ian
sing announced late today that Great
Britain's note on the seizure of IS Aus
TRANS, Germans aud Turks from the
American steamer China near Shanghai
does not close the case to the satisfaction
Of the United States.
1t was said at the state department
that the seizures probably would be the
subject of further correspondence soon.
Secretary Lansing is of the opinion that
there is no precedent which would upholu
Great Britains attempt to justify the
seizures on the ground that the men had
engaged in plots in the Far East and
were on their way to Manila to continue
their efforts against the Allies.
The position of the United States is
that subjects of a belligerent government
may not be removed from an American
vessel on the high seas, even though they
properly may be considered military per-
sons, but not actually members of the
armed forces.

SUBMARINE WAS
IN THE VICINITY
r. OF THE SUSSEX

Washington, April 12.-Germany's
explanation of the destruction of the
four freight ships referred to in the
FORGING dispatch is regarded here as
advancing the submarine controversy
another step, but bringing it no near
err a point of action by the United
States.
1t does, however. inject some new
elements for discussion into the sit
uation which will involve whether
Germanys assurance for the conduct
of submarine warfare have included
freight carrying ships.
The admission that a submarine was
in the vicinity of the Sussex is regard
ed as an important development. The
statement that "the evidence at hand"
indicated that the vessel torpedoed
was not the Sussex is regarded as
leaving foom for developments espe-
cially in view of the fact that Count
Won Bernstorff. the German ambassa-
dor, has asked Secretary Lansing for
whatever information the United
States may have on the case.
