The SITUATION
SERIOUS TO HIN
SHIPPER SEES A BREACH OF RE.
LATiONS BETWEEN U. S.
AND GERMANY.

LONDON, Feb. 17.--An Amsterdam
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
company says that the manager of
one of the greatest German shipping
companies, in an interview in the
Bremen Tageblatt, expresses a most
pessimistic view concerning the
effects of possible breach of rela-
lions between Germany and the
United States. This shipper, who, the
dispatch says, is believed to be AL
bert Balm, director general of the
HamburgAmerican Steamship COM
pany, is quoted as follows:
"a breach of Germany's relations
with America would have most Sc
rious effect. All Americas money
and munitions would be at the dis
posal of the entente allies We should
have to take over the feeding of the
Belgians and Americas attitude
probably would induce other neutrals
to attack us. All our ships would
finally be interned in American ports.
This woud represent taking away
enormous wealth from us.
Our plight would be most diff
cult. When the war is over Germany
will have to replenish her stocks of
raw materials. Do not let us enter
-tain-anY illusions with regard to
England. She will continue CONNER
cial warfare long after military op-
erations are over. She will take away
all our trade with South Africa and
Australia and it will take years for
our passenger service to reach a
condition anything like that which
existed before the war;

BOSTON LAWYER SAYS THE
APPOlNTEE HELPED THE
NEW HAVEN TO WRECK
NEW ENGLAND lINE-NCT
TRUSTWORTHY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-More-
Field Storey, Boston attorney. charg-
ed before the judiciary subcommit-
tee of the senate today that Louis
ID. Brandeis helped to wreck the New
York and New England railroad in
1892 and 1898, with the result that
it was absorbed by the New Haven
road.
Asked as to Mr.. Brandeis' repu-
tation as a lawyer, Mr.. Storey testi-
flied:
Il think his reputation in the Bos-
ton bar is that he is very capable,
very energetic and to advance his OBJ
jects he is not scrupulous as to his
methods, nor is he to be trusted"
| Storey had been summoned by the
committee in its inquiry into the fit
ness of Mr.. Brandeis for the supreme
court. Senator Walsh told the wit
ness that c.. w. Barron of Boston had
said Brandeis was once employed to
help wreck the New England rail-
road. 81 think that is true" said
Mr.. Storey He proceeded to describe
the New England as a competitor to
the New Haven between Boston and
New York.
Shortly before the spring of 1892"
he said, "the New Haven began to
harass the New England, which ran
part way to New York over the New
Haven tracks. The New Haven first
| ref"sed to advance freight for the
New England. 1t seriously interfered
with its trains and there was every
indication that it was the purpose of
the New Haven road to destroy the
New England
"In the spring of 1892 Mr.. Bran
deis brought series of ten suits
against the New England railroad in
Massachusetts, Conencticutt and
Rhode Island. He was acting ostensi-
bly, for N F. Goldsmith. Boston IL
quor dealer, and small New England
stockholders and some associates.
The bills were designed to paralyze
the financial operations of the New
England road. One suit was to pre-
vent the payment of dividends on pre-
ferred stock, another to prevent the
issue of mortgage bonds, and another
attacked the New England's leases on
certain branch lines.
''In the following year the Massa-
chusetts Legislature Investigated rela-
tions of the New Haven and New
England roads. / conducted the
hearing. Mr.. Brandeis testified there
that he was counsel in all these suits
which impaired the finances of the
New England road, forcing it into
receivers hands in 1893, from which
it emerged as the property of the
New Haven.
"The suits, while brought in the
name of Goldsmith, were really
drought in some other interests. Gold
smith was unable to pay the ey
penses Of the suits. 1t appeared that
Judge w. j. Kelly of New York, now
on the New York supreme court
bench, was interested in the case
When | asked Brandeis If he made
any charges to Goldsmith and his as
sociates he admitted that he did not
and said money was paid to him
through Judge Kelly.
at was apparent that the suits
were not brought in the interest oi
his ostensible clients. Brandeis took
