Railroad and the Gillette Safety Razor
Company litigation occupied the attcn-

Four witnesses testified. The first.
Marx Sullivan. editor Of Golfers

licr's" TO protect It's interests and those
of the public during the Ballinger-Pn-
Chot Investigation, and that no conceal
mcnt had been made Of the employ
mcnl. Austen G.. Fox. counsel for those
opposing Mr. Brandels. charged that
MI. Brandeis was on the record as APP
pcaring for l.. K. CLAWS. former Land
Office official and a central hgurc in the
investigation.
Wished to Conceal Employer.
Mr.. Fox asked the committee to sub
pmna Charles T.. Kelley, New York at
torney, who. he said he had informa-.
ton. haC been attorney for "Colliers

Fox said he would show that Mr..

wish Kelley to be in the hearing room
except as a spectator.
Waddell Catchings, formerly with
the law firm of Sullivan 4 Cromwell,

10 employ the firm Of Brandeis, Dunbar
& Nutter 20 get proxies for Mr.: Har-
riman in the fight over the Illinois
Central. Mr.. Nutter told him the firm
would not take the commission unless
Mr.. Brandeis were convinced OF the
Justice of the fight, whercupon Catch
ings had seen Mr.. Brandeis.
For an hour or two, Mr.. Catchings
said. he had the hardest interview OF
his life-an interview with Mr.. Bran
deis-in which the case was outlined.
The result was that the Brandeis flrm
undertook the work, but "Mr. Brandeis
was to do nothing and did do nothing"
On REORGANIZATION Mr.. Catchings
testified that in 1908 Mr.. Brandeis
sen. TO the firm of Sullivan g. Crom-
well a CODY Of letter he had written
TO a Massachusetts, legislative COM
mittee, saying that he personally never

everybody who has subscribed 20 Mar
jorie's fund has received. or VIII very
shortly receive, wearable picture OF
the battleship America.
The little badge. with the steaming
man-o'-war plunging through the sea
under the seal of America, should be
q sign of the true patriot, and no real
lover Of the United States should have
to make apologies when he is asked,
"Where's your button"
Many letters have already been re-
ceived complimenting Marjorie on her
success, thanking her for the member
: ship badge. and inclosing more sub
scriptiOns. with a request for buttons.
/ The children are so pleased that they
are starting clubs ia their schools
and churches and using the battleship
pins as their organization badges
So, if you have not yet subscribed
toward building the L. S. 5. America,
send IN your dime, quarter, dollar or
more, and rejoice with the little girl
who wrote the first note about the but
tons:
MY Dear Editor: As returned
from school, / found waiting for ne
the battlcship button. Oh. such JOY
Ny, but those buttons are fine. A lot
Of kids come 20 me and ask TO buy a
battleship button, and | explain that
the button is receipt Of honor for
the good deed they have done. My
grandpa was q soldier, and so was my
great-grandpa. lie was Captain Kenra
Henderson, Of the British army. It's
too bad he wasn't an American, and !
nm sure, if he was living. he would be
an American. Ny granddad fought IN
the Civil War. and If he were alive
lie would give me many dimes for the
fund
"Please send me as many buttons as
YOU can spare as they are . great IN
ducement 90 the people. | am having
boxes put in the stores Of this town.
Oh! l pray every night and morning
that this will be a success, as ! am
doing all in my power to help, though
am only a little girl. ] may be able
20 help my country some day. | hope
that | may be able 10 send you large
contribution. / wish | could send you
500 a week: then ! would be salts
fed Ny friends arc working ia other
towns. but I haven't got them as in
terested as ! am. Please send me some
buttons for them, too, as it may be
some encouragement.
Il am your most ialthlul ratr.o-
and friend. ETHEL SCHMIDT.
