Hapgood Explains
The Employment Of
Brandeis by Weekly

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Nornan Hap
good. former editor OF Golfers Weekly.
today told the senate Judiciary sub-com-
mlttee investigating the nomination OF
Louis d. Brandels 10 the supreme court.
that the reason Golfers had employed
Mr.. Brandeis In the Bailinger-Pinchot
investigation was because Golfers
wanted TO support L. r. CLAWS whose
charges against Mr.. Balllnger II had pub
lished and for whom Brandeis ostensibly
appeared.
I'VE had published Mr.. CLAWS charges
and thought he ought TO be fully sup
ported by u.s." said Mr. Hapgood. I'VE
feel that II the newspaper appeared in
the litigation II would detract from the
main issue. We wanted 10 avoid the ap-
pearance Of desiring to get into the lime
light"
No attempt had been made to deceive
anyone about Mr. Brandeis' employment,
Mr.. TIapgood said During the hearing
he added. at least three witnesses re-
ferred to Golfers in such a way as To
show they knew MIR. Brandeis was rep
resenting II. on one occasion Mr Hap
good said he printed an editorial In reply
10 a newspaper snying In rather SATIRE
cal way that OF course Golfers was pay
ing Mr.. Brandeis. and would pay for any
other contributor. who got into trouble.

about the Warren will case. In which Mr.

Ice Goes Out Of
Platte at Fremont
: and Flood Subsidies

FREMONT. Neb.. Feb. $.-(special Tel
egram.)-Ice in the main channel OF the
Platte went out early this morning and
the danger OF flood is believed to be over.
The river is over a foot lower than dur
ing the night. when 1t overflowed the
iowands In this vicinity. The ice from
the Loup. which broke up yesterday. was
the cause OF the high water here.
Near Mercer the Union Pacific tracks
were threatened when gorge formed
throwing the water cut. but the use OF
several carloads OF cinders and bags Of
sand prevented washout. There was
no delay to trains. The Burlington rail-
road and the county bridge at Fremont
withstood the high water without any
damage.
The wagon road leading from the Fre-
mont bridge to tie dyke. a half mile
north. was covered by water during the
night to a depth OF over a foot When
it subsided several big cakes of ice were
left on the roadway. 1t was necessary
TO remove them before traffic could be
resumed. There Is very little ice In the
main channel OF the river.
