NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1916. BOSTON ATTORNEY ASSAILS BRANDEIS Storey Ghar—gguN&iuee Helped Wreck New England Road Washington, Feb. 17.—Moorfield Storey, a Boston attorney, charged be- fore the judiciary sub-committee of the senate today that Louis D, Bran- deis helped to wreck the New York and New England Railroad in 1892 and 1893, with the result that it was absorbed by the New Haven road. Asked as to Mr. Brandeis’ reputa- tion as a lawyer, Mr. Storey testified: I think his reputation in the Bos- ton Bar is that he is a very ecapable, very energetic man, and, if nece: to advance his objects, he is not pulous as to his methods, nor is he to be trusted.” Summoned By Committee. Mr. Storey had been summoned by the committee in its inquiry into the fitness of Mr. Brandeis for the preme court. Senator Walsh told the witness that C. W. Barren of Bos- ton, had said Brandeis was once em- ployed to help wreck the New Eng- land Railroad. “I think that is true,” said Mr, . He proceeded to describe the England as a competitor of the ew Haven between Boston and New York. hortly before the spring of 1892,” he said, “‘the New Haven began to har the New England, which ran wart way to New York over the New Haven track Series of Ten Suits. “In the spring of 1892 Mr. Bran- deis brought a series of ten suits against the New England Rajlroad in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. He was acting ostensibly for N? F. Goldsmith, a Boston liquor dealer, and small New England stock- holders and some associates, The bills were designed to paralyze the financial operations of the New Eng- land road. “In the following vear the Massa- chusetts legislature investigated rela- tions of the New Haven and New England roads. I conducted the hear- ing. Mr. Brandeis testified there that he was counsel in all these suits which impaired the finances of the New England road, forcing it into receiv- ers, hands in 1893, from which it emerged as the property of the New Haven. the | saying such practice was common among lawyers under such gonditions and had he been in Mr. Brandeis position he would have pursued the same course, Sherman L. Whipple, another Bos- ton attorney concerned in the War- ren will case, in response to questions by George W. Anderson, representing Mr. Brandeis, made this statemen “As a lawyer Mr. Brandeis is able and learned. As a man he is con scientious and high minded. The fea- ture of his career, which is the most striking and remarkable, has been his unselfish and unswerving devo- tion to the social, moral and indu: trial uplift of the lowly and le fortunate of our people. I believe that on the supreme court bench of the United States he will inherit = strong influence in establishing the ideals to which he has been .devoted in his recent years. To Hear Fox Tomorrow. Tomorrow the committee plans to hear Austen G. Fox of New York, who is appearing as counsel for those opposed to Mr. Brandeis con- firmation, make an opening statement as to charges his clients expect to prove and to take the testimony of any witnesses he may produce. Mrs. Wininger Denicd Engagement of Son, a Minor, to Miss Callahan and Calls Tt All Off. A recent announcement in the pa- pers of the engagement of Miss Mao Callahan and Russell Wininger is de- nied by the mother of the young man, Joseph Wininger, of Barnesdale. Wininger informed the Herald her son is a minor and she does not approve of the engagement, Miss Callahan, who resides on Con- nerton street, is responsible for the announcement and is the proud owner of a diamond ring which she dis- played as proof positive of the truth of her assertions. But Mrs. Wininger has put her foot down on it—the en- gagement, not the ring,—and all bets are called off. ; DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Samuel P. Storrs. The funeral of Samuel P. Storrs W held from his late home at 107 Maple street this afternoon at 2 o'clock and was largely attended, many business men, who had been associated with him for many year: being in attendance. Rev. C B. Jones, assistant rector at St. Mark’: church, conducted the services. The committal services were held in the Erwin mortuary chapel. Interment ¢ 'The suits, while brought in name of Goldsmith, were brought in some other interest Goldsmith was unable to pay expense of the suits. that Judge W. J. Kelly of New York, now on the New York supreme court, was interested in the case. When I asked Mr. Brandeis if he made any charges to Goldsmith. and. his -asso= clates, he admitted that he did not and said money was paid to him through Judge Kelly. Directions From Outside. “It was apparent that the sufts were not brought in the interest of his ostensible clients. Brandeis took directions from some outside source. Names of those never were disclosed, but the result of the fight was that the New Haven road eventually took over the pro- perty of its competitor.” Mr Storey testified that at the Mass- achusetts legislature investigation of really the i Jow o George the relations of the New Haven and direction of Mrs. Arthur W. Bacon of Lexington street. the New England. Brandeis refused to tell who were his clients unless Storey agreed that the facts would not be used in the suits. Storey said he could not consent. “It is apparent to me,” said Storey, ‘“that it was clear to Mr. Brandeis thad the ostensible parties to the suits were not the real parties and that he made his charges and took orders from other parties who may have been persons or may have been the New Haven.” New Haven Paid $20,000, The Goldsmith estate, he said, later sued Austen Corbin, then president of the Long Island Railroad, for the use of Goldsmith’s name in the suits and that the New Haven paid $20,000 to settle. Chairman Chilton wanted to know what was the specific complaint against Mr. Brandeis. Mr. Storey responded that he con- sidered it unethical for a lawyer to do anything the truth of which would prejudice his c: in court. enator Chilton suggested that the incident took place some twenty vears ago, but Storey charged that Bran- deis had done the same thing in the more recent Ballinger-Pinchot inves- tigation. Paid By Collier’'s Weekly. “Mr. Brandeis announced that he was appeering for Mr. Glavis, where- ps, he was paid by Collier’s Weekl clared Mr. Storey. “How do you know by whom he was paid?” asked Senator Walsh. “Only by hearsay. What difference did it make who paid him?” ‘If he had announced he was em- ployed by a newspaper he would not [have been listened to as he was.” Asked About Protest. In cross examination Mr. Storey asked regarding the protest hgainst Mr. Brandeis' confirmation gned by President Lowell of Har- bard and fifty-four Boston lawyers. He rought out that there are from three o fi¥e thousand lawyers in Metropo- tan Boston. “Many young fre with Mr. lawyers in Boston Brandeis and respect id Storey. “But they arc oung lawyers who don’t know im, Young lawyers who do know jim are against him.

GERMAN PRELATES TO REPLY TO MERCIER f CRARDINAL - M J?CIEQ] PHOTOGRAPHED I ROME Reports from Rome say cardinals are preparing a statement in answer to the recent letter of the Belgian bishops. This letter, dated Nov. 24, 1915, and signed by Cardinal Mercier, archbishop of Malines, and by the other members of the Belgian Roman Catholic Episco- pate, the bishops of Ghent. Bruges, Namur, Liege and Tournai, was ad- dressed to the cardinals and’ bishops of the German empire and Austria Hungary, and contalned an appeal, in the name of their common religion, for truth and justice for the clergy and faithful of Belgium. It charged the Germans with intolerable wrongs against the people and clergy of Bel- gium. Cardinal Mercier has been vis iting Rome, in which eity the accom- panying picture was made recently. that the collective THREE NEGROES ARE VICTIMS OF FLOOD Louisiana Towns Under High Water— Food Situation Expected to Present Problem. New Orleans, Feb. 17—Flood wa- ters from the crevasse in the Miss- issippi river at Buck ridge early today are near the town of St. Joseph. The water is taking a southward course after having filled Lake Bruin, seven miles below Newellton. Hundreds of recruits have joined the rescuing parties and organized efforts are being made to take the marooned persons to places of safety. Scarcity of boats makes this work difficult The food situation is expected to present a problem at Newellton. There are several thousand negro refugees housed in mills and cotton gins and few if any brought more than enough food last through a day. During the night the refuge camps at Natchez and Vidalia gained new members. The food situation at Nat chez, owing to the arrival yesterday of a steamer loaded with supplie was regarded today as satisfactory for the present at least. Early morning reports showed that the five hundred workers at New Roads, below the mouth of the Red river, were holding their own against the river's attack on the levee there. While it is stated that there is still danger of a break, the chances for the levees holding are much bright- er than last night. So far three unidentified negroes are the only victims of the high water. around that town, to APPEALS TO GERMANS HERE.

I3 et mills bu; an | STEEL MILLS WILL | BE KEPT VERY BUSY Avalanche of Inquiries Expected From Neutral Nations (Special to the Herald.) New York, Feb. 17.—The Iron Age wil sag today: With further price advanc and the end not yet in sight, withdrawals and postponement of new steel-taking pro- jects occur, but they are as nothing in comparison with the avalanche of inquiries which are expected in early weeks from non-belligerent nations. The vague and general feelers from these sources are fast giving way to re- quests s as to kind, amount and deliver: rcome- from quarters which have been waiting, for one rea- son and another, until the war should close, and their needs are urgent. The peace and war demands from the out- de thus are calculated to keep the ; if domestic consumers are not willing to pay present high prices. There are numbers who have counted on softer prices in the last part of the year, but the trend of recent weeks has convinced some large consumers they have overstayed. In sharp contrast is the attitude ¢ the large agricultural implement man- ufacturers who have already secured | mill space for their buying vear begin- | ning July. 1. Usually the negotia- tions have been instituted at a much | later date and have been protracted. | This year, With a possible exception, the contracts cover only the period to Jan, 1, 1917. This has been done in the face of the disinclination of mills to consider future contracts, yet the pressure has been sufficiently great that one middle west interest last week took 120,000 tons under contract, No Effect on Market, The grouping of large independent steel companies—Ilike the Midvale- Worth Brothers-Cambria merger and the Bethlehem-Pennsylvania = union— is of no effect at the moment on mar- ket conditions, but it is, of course, rec- ognized that over three-quarters of the steel-making capacity of the country will be lodged with six or seven com- panies. This does not warrant, how- ever, the expectation that in slack times competition will be any the les severe. There are signs that a long practice of modified rules on transportation by railroads of material for export may have a permanent effect. ~ This not result in higher cost to the shipper, thought he now temporarily bills his products as domestic business nd at domestic rates in order to get around the embargoes, but will doubt- less work toward quicker handling of shipments at destination erminals and a better utilization of railroad cars. Catch Up Slightly, milis to new or two htly, The resistance of the commitments is allowing > to catch up but only sli while speecific on contracts far beyond pro rata amounts and shin- ments on them way under. There is no gainsaying that domestic consurn- ers are suspicious that lucrative war orders are responsible,.thought they were woefully late in coming into the market. The fact remains that the Jarger mills, at least, have taken care that their year-in and year-out cu: tomers will get what they have alreads bought, and as promptly as influences beyond their control will allow. Sales for export contain some not- able items No less than 60,000 tons of plain wire for France is reported from Chicago. TFor Africa America has taken 12,000 tons of rails, accord- ing to our Londcn cable. A Russian inquiry is for 30,000 axles complete with the wheels, though the long ex- pected additional Russian purchase of rajlroad cars has naot been consum- mated, nor the 60,000 tons of rails and 14,000 tons of track accessories. Explain Heavy Demand. That plant extensions and generally small work have bzen the order in the fabricated stecl industry and are an explanation of the heavy demand that was hardly discernible in the absence of jobs of spectacular size is shown in the report from Chicago that the average number of tons on contracts taken in the last six months was 115 against 175 tons for the six months preceding. As an average of 871 per cent. of the capacity of the bridge and structural shops was put under con- tract over the last months and 84 per cent, for the half r preceding, it follows that there were twice as many jobs taken in the one period as in the earlier. one THANK OFFERING SERVICE.

When the wire mill laborers walked out at 1 c’clock they went in a body to the ccpper mill and clamored for the men there to quit. The copper mil] men iid this an hour later at 2 o’clock. The Coe Brass laborers went out at about the same time. All the company’s mills here are new closed down. The striking la- berers so crippled the mills that all other men had to quit wor The la- berers are mostly foreigners. They marched hilariously through the streets but no violence was attempt- ed. W. A. Cowles, head of the Ansonia and Copper Branch, said this afternoon that notification of an in- crease in wages had been made, to commence Monda Men earning 0 per day or less are to get an in- crease of 25 cents per day and those earning over $2.50 are to get a ten per cent, raise. This notification did not succeed in keeping the men from striking. They want an increase of 25 per cent. TIAIN TRIAL WEDNESDAY.
