Umder cross examination by Senator Cummins, Carmalt testified Brandeis did not merely state his view that he net revenue of the railroads was ufficient, but he announced that such Would be his position in the argument of the case. “Did Mr. Brandeis discuss the pro- priety of his making this concession (which was the vital point of the case made up by Mr. Thorne?” asked Sen- itor Cummin “No, it did not occur to me as be- hng improper.” Argue Conduct of Hearing. Carmalt’s testimony then ended and he sub-committee had an argument ver the conduct of the hearing. “This investigation,” said Senator fValsh, “is for the purpose of develop- g Yacts to advise the committee with bespect to the fitness of this nominee. Vitnesses have been allowe dto ex- ess in & general way opinions 9rmed concerning the nominee.” I m led to believe that some of the s have been allowed to ex- 1 facts but have only learned s through the press or from com- fon rumor.

Responding to further questions by Benator Cummins, Mr. Lyon said: “I hink it is only fair to Mr. Brandeis to v that I was an unimportant em- plove of the commission in 1910, as- gned to the rate case. Mr. Brandeis brought in as an important in- dividual from the outside and must pave a different point of view from pine,” said Mr. Lyon. Sepator Cummins characterized that atement as an argument. Spelling Attacks Brandeis. Thomas C. Spelling of New York or the Freight Payers' League com- blained that Mr. Brandeis as attor- fney for other eastern shippers during e 1910 advance rate case failed to Jppase the advance with the “im- sregnable defense offered by the so- balled burden of proof amendment to he commerce acts of 1910.” Furthermore, he said, Mr. Brandei on foot a compromise of the case the interest of the public w any compromise, and that Mr. jrandeis showed bad faith by taking #Spelling’s) briéf on the burden f proof amendment, keeping it two honths and returning it with such marks, such as “absurd” written on he margin.

Daniels of the navy, ministration naval and advocated immediate building up of an adequate merchant marine in a speech here today before a session of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, devoted to discussion of national preparedness. “We can no longer live unto selves,” said Mr. Daniels. “On our farms we grow more than the repub- lic can consume. of the world. our- We must feel much Wehave the right, also, to have a large share in clothing the world and supplying people in every clime with whatever is manufactured in our mills and factorie: But how can we fill our larger mission? What avails teeming harvests and large pro- duction in factories without adequate and reasonable water ‘transportation? The securing of an adequate merchant mariné is a pressing problem ana it is so tied up with the enlarging and strengthening of our navy that the two cannot be wisely separated. “The naval program offered by the administration is a constructive, pro- eressive one, and if built according to the continuous five year program-—— the first continuing program ever pro- duced by an administration—it will give us by the year 1921 thirty-threc capital ships of the first line and twenty-five battleshins of the second line, with ten armored cruisers, 108 destroyers, 175 submarines and smaller craft in proportion.” Mr, Daniels declared himself to be a disciple of Benjamin Franklin on the question of preparedness. “Thi vhilosopher-statesman declared that ‘there never was a good war nor a bad peace,’ but he dia more to pre- pare for the impending revolution than any other man,” he said. “No man in the Revolutionary period could be preferred before him in preparations for defense. Hi. achievements for preparedness ma well be studied by the people of this day and generation.” SUES CON FOR Gleazen Had Little Jammed in Car Door.

OPERA HOUSE AT SEYMOUR BURNED ing in Windsor Hotel Adjoining Damaged by Fire—Ioss Estimated at $15,000, 10.—The burned Seymour, Feb. Seymour Opera House was to the ground and the Windsor Hotel ad- joining badly damaged by fire, smoke and water early today. The loss is estimated at about $15,000, partially covered by insurance. The hotel was a four story frame structure and was filled with guests but all so far as learned got out safe- ly, although some of them lost some of their personal belongings. The fire started, it is believed in the basement of the Opera House, The Opera House has been used as a moving picture theater, as well as for dances and social gatherings. The theater was operated by J. B. Phillips of New Haven, who estimated his loss at about $3,000. The cause of the fire is not known. It is believed to have started in a small room formerly used as a jail. and it was sald today that there had been some difficulty recently in keep- ing tramps from using it as a lodg- ing house. One theory is that a tramp may have accidentally started the fire. The building was owned by Isador Rosenberg. The roof of the hotel caught from the blaze and the upper part of that building was burned out. While the firemen werc able to save the other floors it was said that the dam- age from the water and smoke to the part of the huilding now stand- ing was such that it would have to be torn down and rebuilt entirely.

Large additions to the plant have been made and still more have been started, and it is be- lieved that the present out-put of shells will be tripled at the end of six months. With the conservative management of the company it would seem as though this stock would be a particularly good purchase at the present time. Regular dividends are being paid at the rate of 8 per cent. annum and for the last four months 5 per cent. extra has been declared each month. We believe this rate will be continued long as war or- ders last, and if so the yield at the present price is in the neighborhood of 15 per cent.

This company is earning at the rate of 50 per cent per year. Dividends are paid at the rate of 8 per cent.
