TION OF NEWLY APPOINT
ED JUSTICE.

1t has been intimated in press dis
patches sent out from Washington
that an effort would be made in the
Senate to prevent the confirmation
of Louis d. Brandies of Boston,
who was recently appointed by pres
dent Wilson TO succeed the late Judge
Lamar as associate justice of the
United States Supreme Court, but a
recent special to the New Orleans
Times-Picayune declares that hte
Mississippi and Louisiana Senators
will not participate in this effort.
The special follows:
Louisiana and Mississippi sena-
tors will offer no obstacle to the con-
hrmation of Louis d. Brandies as as
sociate justice of the Supreme Court.
While senator's will not make any
statement as to how they will cast
their votes in executive session they
are not adverse to giving their per.
sonal impressions of men who have
been nominated for office by the
President.
Senator Vardaman said today
that he spent an hour reading every
thing that the newspapers had beer
able to ascertain that might be USED
u;,ainst the man. Each of these pos
sible objections recommended Mr.
5randies to him, he said.
Senator Ransdell is known I,
have expressed admiration for MI
Brandies on several occasions"

Norfolk. Va, Aug. 3.--The allied

within sight Of shore during today,
and there was nothing to indicate that
they were aware OF the passage Of
the Deutschland out through the capes

Captain Hinsch OF the war-bound
German liner Neckar, who, on board
the tug Thomas +. Timmins, directed
the departure OF the Deutschland,
said today that the subsea passed un-

States destroyer on neutrality duty

disclosed that the submarine stub

bay to test its engines.

have to use the place again" said
Captain Hinsch, "the pilot aboard the
submarine was taken off 1t was then
about 5 o'clock in the evening. The
submarine was submerged so that its
machinery and pumps could be tested
and the cargo trimmed should that
be necessary. The boat went down
in deep hole in the bay to depth

time. .
"When it came to the surface again
Captain Koenig came up through the

thing was working perfectly. We
started off down the bay and when
no traffic was in sight the Deutsch-

In the afternoon we started for the
capes and you know how the better
part of the trip was made. The de-
stroyers were passed iii the dark. As
soon as the men on the bridge sighted
the lights Of the Timmins they
watched US closely and looked all
around for the submarine, which
passed them at distance of only 100
yards. AT the time the submarine
was submerged until its decks were
awash. H. . I.
Later, when | reported to the de-
stroyer that the Deutschland had
cleared the capes and was on its way
to sea, the officers aboard seemed
most surprised. They had not OBJ

British and French cruisers off shore
hadn't the slightest chance Of find

Captain Hinsch added that after the
officers and members Of the crew had
given three cheers for America, he

vessels were about a mile off the
capes. The submarine increased its
speed and the men aboard the Tim
Minis, which had stopped, watched it
as it sped for the open sea. A mile
away all lights suddenly disappeared.
Captain Hinsch said he knew the
vessel submerged at that time, when
a mile inside the three-mile limit. He
added it would be unwise for him to
disclose whether the vessel went up
or down the coast before striking out
to sea, or whether it took an easterly
course straight out.
