LOUIS K. LICCETT
TELLS OF MERCER
TO COMMITTEE
Noted Drug Combine Head Tells
of Consulting Brandeis Before
Merging with Other Stores

Washington, May 12.-Louis X. Lig-
gett of Boston. a director of the Unit
ed Drug Co. was the first witness call
ed today before the Senate judiciary
committee at the rec rened hearing on
the nomination of Louis d. Brandeis
to the supreme court The committee
is looking into any connection MIR.
Brandeis may have had as a lawyer
in merger between the United Drug
Co. and the Riker- Hegeman stores.
Senator Borah brought out by
question that the employment of Mr.
Brandeis resulted in no change in the
merger plans. Frederick +. Snow. coun-
sci for Mr.. Liggett, hext took the stand
and gave testimony the same as his
client
Last October MIR. Ligsett testified.
George w. Anderson, United States
attorney at Boston, began to investi-
gate the merger and Liggett, with his
counsel Mr. Snow. vent to Anderson's
office, ito lay their hands on the ta-
bic"
Mr.. Snow said Liggett. ''consid-
cred Mr. Anderson wong in the posi-
/ ton he was taking but said as he
.
tative of corporations he might be in
error, and would like to get the view
IF someone who had represented other
! interests. | asked him who he Woult
J like to consult and he said Mr.. Bran
deis was the only onl. and | told him to
so ahead and see him."
| Mr.. Lisgett testified that Snow con-
suited Mr.. Brandeis and that the two
lawyers rendered an opinion favorable
to the merger. The opinion was put
into the record with a report of M.
Anderson to the attorney general
why did you want to consult Nj
| Brandeis?" inquired Senator Works.
Il had known him long time and
been opposed to him in most things in
Boston," responded Mr.. Snow. He had
! looked at these combinati tons from the
point of view OF the public and thought
! his opinion would be more valuable
than a regular attorney for corpora
tons
Il think I told Mr. Brandeis once
that l hoped when he got out on the
bench he would not emit such as he
had tried to stuff down my throat.
said MIR. Anderson, who followed
Snow on the stand
Mr. Anderson paid a high tribute,
however. to Mir. BrandeiS, saying that
| he had tho highest regard for his views
of ethical matters and would rather
have Mr.. Brandeis' Illuminating views
of his duty regarding any subject than
those of any other man he knew. Mi
| Erandeis being impersonal impartial,
judicial and powerful.
Mir. Anderson said he made final
report to the department of justice adj
verse to the merger on April T., and
he had not been Informed as yet
whether he should begin proceedings
against the parties TO it..

BUSY SESSION
is PROMISED THE
CITY FATHERS

The meeting of the city government
Saturday evening a. 7.30 promises to
be an interesting one as the hackmen
will have a whole lot to say and it is
also reported that there is going to be
some discussion over the question OF
the taking of the lot adjoining the
Brook street schoolhouse. According to
some of the members of the commit
tee the price which has been placed
upon it by the owner is all out of rea
son and the city will not pay it. The
meeting Saturday evening will be
asked to give the committee the right
20 start condemnat ton proceedings and
it is on this that there is liable to be
considerable discussion. The hackmen
also feel that the municipal officers
should make lawful the price that they
are now charging and point out that
it is impossible for them to carry pas
sengers any cheaper owing to the
greatly increased cost Of keeping
horses. One or two other matters may
also come up at this time and lively
meeting is looked forward to.

to the great increase Of the ordinary
expenses of the present administration,
which has made necessary the IMPOSE
ton of war tax in the country at
time when the nation is at peace. In
discussing State issues he criticized the
present administration in it's refusal to
allow the appropriations made by the
Legislature for public improvements to
be expended. He referred particularly
ments at the State prison which was
undertaken by commission appointed
by the Governor. Under the terms of
the resolve making this appropriation,
the commission was required to make
plans and commence the work imme-
diately but the Governor has waited
more than a year after the adjourn
ment of Legislature before even APP
pointing a commission. In the mean
time the cost Of steel has doubled and
other materials have increased in
price. so that thousands Of dollars
have been lost in not doing this work

done by the terms of the legislative

national election in November.

TENNIS VICTORY

Brunswick, Me. May l2.-(SpeciaD.-
The Bowdoin tennis team that defeated
Bates last Wednesday met the Maine
team on the courts today and carried off
a to victory. In the doubles Maine
was one and Bowdoin took the other.
while Bowdoin captured all but one of
the singles The day was singularly poor
for tennis. With high, raw wind blow
ing it was most difficult to judge shots,
and as the spectators stood around in
overcoats there was little comfort for
PLAYERS in shirtsleeves. The Bowdoin
team played without its captain, LARA
bee. who was with the baseball team at
Orono.
The summary: Greedy and Flynt of
Rowdoin defeated Hurd and Rollins of

Onciliation of Re dmOnd and Carson

London, May 12.-Premier Asuuth's
sudden resolve to go to Dublin, which
was hailed by his supporters as 4
stroke Of genius, has had the effect
of assuaging political passions. Par
lament does not meet Fridays and the
fact that there was no session today
helped to bring about day of calm, in
strange contrast to yesterdays sensa-
tons.
The only new fact concerning the
situation in Ireland is that two other
leaders in the rebellion, whose execu-
ton was DELAYED by Premier Asquith's
Undertaking that there would be no
further executions Until after Parlia :
ment had debated John Dillon's mo-
ton have been put 20 death. They were
James Connolly, one of the signers of
the proclamation of the Irish Republic
and John McDermott 1t seems ex-
tremely probable that there will nov
be no more executions.
Some regret was expressed today
over the selection of Mr.. Dillon to move
the resolution in the House of Com :
mons concerning the executions. Many
CT the strongest supporters of Ireland's
cause advanced the belief that it would
have been better had some less emo
tiOnal Irish member been selected for
that duty. The feeling prevails that
everything possible ought now to be
done to avoid intlamng public Senti-
