SAYS BRANDEIS HAS “REVERSIBLE MIND United Shoe Company’s Pamphlet ! Introduced at Hearing Washington, Feb. amination of Sidney W. Wins president of the United Shoe Machin- | ery company, regarding his charges of unprofessional conduct against Louis D. Brandeis, featured the hear- ing yesterday and last night before the senate sub-committee investiga- ting Mr. Brandeis' fitness for the su- | preme court of the United States. In his examination of Mr. Winslow Mr. Anderson sought to show that Mr. Brandeis had urged the United Shoe Machinery company to change the “tying” clause in its leases before | suits were brought against it by the | government and that he severed all | relations with the company because Winslow refused to change the leases. Mina” Pamphlet. introduced in evi- pamphlet entitled ‘“Brandeis vs. Brandeis, the Reversible Mind,” which the witness identified as one | his company had issued several years ago. A long contention arose to | the introduction and value of document. Partial copies of the bill book of the Brandeis law firm had | been introduced previously, showing that the firm handled only two cases | for the shoe machinery company after | Brandeis resigned as director of the company. Turning to one page of the pamphlet, Anderson read the state- ment that “it appeared in spite of his quickened conscience, Mr. Bran- deis continued to act as counsel for the company for three years after he resigned as director.” “Do you think that a fair ment?” inquired Mr. Anderson. Isn’t it true??” responded Mr. slow. “But do you think it fair.” “Having in mind the attitude Mr. Brandeis was taking at the time against the company, the statement was, T think, very much fairer than the statements Mr. Brandeis was making to committees of congress.” enator Cummings Intercepts. Senator Cummins inquired as to the object in offering the pamphlet. “I offer it,” replied Mr. Anderson, “to show Mr Winslow's state of mind as to Mr. Brandeis and the bearing on the campaign of publicity which this great corporation has undertaken against Mr. Brande When such things as these culated after a while some person may think there is something wrong about a man.” The witness insisted he was not appearing voluntarily before the com- miittee and further that the "docu- mgent had been issued at a tilpe ywhen Mr, Brandeis was carrying on a cam- paign of publicity against the com- pany, and the only way for the com- pany to get its case hefore the people was to make statement setting forth its side. Hits Winslow” Mr. Anderson sought to disprove Mr. Winslow's testimony that Noten Florsheim and Jackson Johnson had attempted to secure $3,000,000 worth of the United Shoe Machinery Com- pany’s stock with a threat that they would make trouble if it was not sold “Reversible Mr. Anderson dence a the | state- Win- o Testimony: i d aeriariarrenannen 3 TO REMOVE DANDRUFF i amoramaraeas | G 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store, pour a little into your hand and rub well into the scalp with the finger tips, By morning most, if not all, of this awful scurf will have disappeared.

HERALD, LORIMER ON TRIAL FOR WRECKING BANK | ‘ Ex-Senator % For;ner Republi- can Dictator of Illinois 17 former ~The trial of Wil- States the I Lorimer, senator, charges La Salle Street Trust Savings Bank, while president of the institu- tion, is set for today in the criminal court. It is estimated that more than two weeks will be required in the selection of a jury. Munday Convicted Recently. C. B. Munday, Vice-president of the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank when it failed, was convicted Chicago, Ifeb. liam United on of wrecking and wreck the bank and sentenced to five vears in the penitentiary. Pending an appeal he is at liberty on bail, The indictment of William Lorimer and thirteen of his business associates for conspiracy in connection with the failure in Chicago in June, 1914, of the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank, and the subsequent closing of nine other banks and trust companies controlled by the Lorimer-Munday coterie, ended Lorimer’s meteoric career as a financier and one of the republican -dictators of Illinois. Charles B. Munday said to have been directing influence in the Lorimer- Munday string of banks was found guilty of conspiracy November 19, 1915 after a trial at Morris, Ill., the case having been transferred from Cook County on a change of venue on petition of Munday. Rise and Fall. William Lorimer’s rapid rise from a Chicago newsboy to a seat in the United States Senate and his fall when his seat was declared vacant on the ground that his election had been procured by fraud and bribery, form an interesting chapter in the political history of Illinois. Nearly a year aft- er Lorimer’s election to the senate, Charles A. White, a member of the legislature, who had voted for Lori- mer, made a written confession under oath that he had received a bribe for his vote and that a “jack pot’’ corrup- tion fund had been used in the ses- sion to influence legislation. Lorimer was born in Manchester, Eng., in 1861, the son of a Presbyte- rian minister who emigrated with his family to this country and settled in Chicago when young Lorimer wa nine years old. He sold newspapers on the streets of Chicago, drove a laundry wagon and became a street car driver beforc he entered politics. He served twelve .years in Congress before he was elected a United States Senator, May 26, 1909. Munday -Once Messenger Boy.

NEW BRITAIN LUMBER & COALL COMPANY, New Britain, Conn. 17 National Bank was converted into La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank, a state institution. The state bank assumed all liabili- | ties and assets of the National, keep- | ing the same capital of $1,000,000 and the same surplus of $250,000. Smaller Banks Organized. In the course of the next year, half a dozen smaller neighborhvod bank: were . organized in Chicago by Lori- mer and Munday and became known as subsidiaries of the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank. In addition to these, Munday was interested in veral downstate banks which had business dealings with the La Salle Trust and Savings Bank. June 12, 1914, Daniel V. Harkin, state bank examiner, appeared at the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank two hours before the regular time set for opening. Reports that the parent institution was insolvent had led to a serious run on the bank by depositors. Harkin after a byief examination of the bank's affairs closed the institution. Within a few weeks all the subsidiary banks closed. The Munday downstate banks later felt the effect of the collapse of the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank and they also were closed. Reccivers Appointed in 1914 June 19, 1914, the Chicago Title and Trust Co., was appointed receiver for the La Salle Trust and Savings Bank. Receivers also were named for several of the subsidiary banks. Meanwhile the United States District attorney and the state’s attorney of Cook County had begun an investi- gation of the bank's affal Nu- merous business enterprises of Wil- liam Lorimer and Charles B. Munday followed the bank into insolvency. Investigation showed that the great- er proportion of the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank assets was made up of loans to enterprises in which Lorimer, Munday and Harry W. Huttig were interested. Several Indictments Returned. As a result of these investigations, indictments were returned against Lorimer, Munday, Huttig and others by both federal and state grand juries. The federal indictments were rushed through in the summer of 1914 in order to get within the statute of limitations, for these charges were based on the operation of the bank prior to its conversion into a state in- stitution, October 22, 1914, The bulk of the state indictments were returned by the Cook County grand jury Oct. 31, 1912. These were against Lorimer, Munday, Huttig and other officers and employves of the bank and former officials of the state auditor’s office. Fourteen Persons Named. The fourteen persons named in the indictments were alleged to have loot- ed the Lorimer-Munday institutions of nearly $2,500,000, with violations of practically every banking law in the state. It was charged that assets of the La Salle Street Trust and Savings Bank had been used to organize the subsidiary banks, that checks had been “kited” in carrying out the plan and that the parent bank had been insolvent for some time prior to its collapse. Case Was Transferred. State’s attorney Hoyne planned to try all the defendants together. The defendants opposed this and entered motions for separate trials, When these were overruled by the courts, Munday asked for a change of venue on the grounds of prejudice and the case was sent to Mor; Grundy County, for trial. The Lorimer-Huttig case pected to go to trial early in Janu- ary, 1916, and state’s attorney FHoyne planned to have one trial for all the defendants. was ex- Pure advt.
