APPAM OWNERS SCORE.

Win Point in Preliminary Sparring.
Norfolk, Va, May 12.-The former
British owners of the steamship Ap-
pam, brought to Hampton roads Feb
ruary by German prize crew, were
successful in preliminary,sparri
when the hearing Of the libel case for
possession of the vessel and cargo
opened in federal court here today.
They succeeded, over protests Of coun-
sci for the German government, in
having admitted into evidence a COM
munication from Secretary Lansing to
Ambassador Won Bernstorff, dated
March 2, in which the secretary ex-
pressed the opinion that the liner did
not fall within the protection clause of
the Prussian-American treaty of 1893,
as contended by Germany, because she
came into port alone.
The state department, contrary to
what has heretofore been generally
understood, expressed the view that
the treaty granted asylum for vessels
of war accompanying prizes. but does
not cover the spOils of war deposited
In an American port 1t was pointed
out, however. that this was a legal
point that should be passed upon by
the courts.

bench began and ended today with
the Introduction of testimony regard
ing Mr.. Brandeis' connection as coun-
sci with the merger last January of
the United Drug company and the
Riker-Hegeman Drug Store company
and statement by Commissioners
Harlan that Mr.. Brandeis' services to
the interstate commerce commission
in the per cent. advance rate case
were eminently satisfactory.
The subcommittee. which already
has recommended by vote of to 2
confirmation of the Brandeis nomina-
ton. will draft a supplementary re-
port when today's evidence has been
printed. There was no indication to-
night as to when vote in the full
committee might be expected.
Commissioner Harlan stated that
Mr. Brandeis was employed by the
commission. not to represent the
shippers, but the public in seeing that
all the facts in the rate case were
presented. He said he would have
regarded him as failing In his duty IL
he had withheld any important con-
clusions he reached in regard to the
case. Both statements were drawn
out In answer to criticisms of Mr..
Brandeis because in his closing argu-
ment OF the case he said the net op-
Grating revenues Of the carriers were
too small.
