A STRONG DEBATE
OCCURS IN SENATE
BY AssocTATED PRrss

Washington, April 28.-In stormy
debate in the senate today over the
nomination of Louis D. Brandeis, two
members of the senate judiciary COM
mittee, which is investigating Bran
deis' fitness, predicted that an UNI
favorable report on the appointment
will be made by the committee. These
senator's, one a democrat and one a
republican, were Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia, and Cummins, of Iowa.
The debate was provoked when
Senator Ashurst of Arizona, charged
the republicans with filibustering in
the committee to keep the nominal
tion from vote until after the ma
tional conventions. This the republi-
cans denied and Senator S. Overman
and Hoke Smith confirmed the state
ment of Cummins that the democrats
had taken most of the time IN the
committee investigating Brandeis.
Hoke Smith said: "There never has
been a time that Brandeis could have
got favorable report from the ju-
dietary committee"

Washington, April 26.-Ambassa-
dor Gerard, who left Berlin to confer
with the emperor at army headquar-
ters, has informed the state depart
ment that he has not been informed
of the purpose of the conference. No
explanation of any kind accompanied
the emperor's invitation.
1t is believed the emperor wishes to
discuss the entire submarine situa-
ton so his personal views may reach
President Wilson.
Optimism of the outcome was APP
parent in German circles today.
Dispatches received at the German
embassy today from the Berlin for
eign office indicate that Germany
will attempt to meet the American
demands for the immediate aband-
onment of its present practices in
submarine warfare. The nature of
the proposals was not disclosed.
Count Won Bernstorff has not been
advised whether the suggestion he
recently made to his government at
the invitation of the foreign office
have been adopted. He expects adj
ditional dispatches.
The visit Of Ambassador Gerard to
Emperor William was topic of
broad interest in official and diplo-
matte quarters today. German en-
bassy officials believed the emperor
invited Mr.. Gerard to confer with
him for the purpose or celebrating,
for the benefit of President Wilson,
his position and the position of the
German government, in further ex-
PLANTATION of certain phases of the
forthcoming German reply to the
American note. It would be unusual
for the emperor to conduct negotia-
