NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, MARCH 3. 1616 " BRANDEIS GOOD AND BRANDEIS BAD Witnesses in His Behalf Declared He Incurred Enmity of Fin- ancial Interests by His Public Services—Tell of His High Character and Fitness to Sit on Supreme Court Bench— Opposition Claim He is Untrustworthy and is Sailing Under False Colors. ‘Washington, Merch 2—Louis D. | Brandeis was described today by wit- | nesses In his behalf, in the senate i | vestigation of his fitness to be a su- preme court justice as a public spirit- ed man of high character who had in- | curred the enmity of powerful financial interests by advocating movements to which those interests were opposed. Three of those who appeared for Mr. Brandels testiffied that he had been assalfled only by men whose interests he had attacked. Others, without re- opponents, said his reputation was high, both as ferring te Mr. Brandeis’ for workmen. Emnity was engend- ered against him also by his advocacy before the supreme court of the Ore- gon law regulating hours of labor for women and his membership in the public franchise league of Boston. “I think it is Mr. Brandels’ public service which has stirred up the fi- nancial interests against him and in proportion as their hatred grew did the respect in which he is held by the peonle of Massachusetts increase.” Somewhat similar testimony ‘was given by Asa P. French, former United States attorney at Boston, and Melville to_ability and character. O. Adams, a Boston lawyer. Mr. Francis Peabody of Milton, Mass., |French said he had never heard Mr. last of the character witnesses for |Brandeis assailed by anyone whose those opposing confirmation of the |opinions or interests he had not at- and sailed under false colors.

Mr. Addams testified that a group of men in high standing “who are near the network of State Street. which is our financial street” thought Mr. Brandeis not altogether straight- forward. Edward F. McClennen, of the Brandeis law firm, produced a steno- araphic_report of two conferences be- tween Mr. Brandeis and James T.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF COPPER ZONE SYSTEM Trolley Official Says Increased Reve- nue an Absolute Necessity. There is so much being said about the copper zone system and its effect upon the riders in the New Lo division that perhaps a iittle sp information will be of value and the following has been furnished in re- sponse to a request by an official of the compa In the place, a careful exami- nation of the operating reports of this and other properties in the state of Connecticut, as flled with the Public Utilities Commission, will, in_his opin- ion, convince any unprejudiced ob- server that increased revenue is an absolute necessity, if operations are to be continued.

Under the copper zone system the fare is 8 cents, and as far south as Mohegan hill 10 cents. Old rate 15 cents. A passenger riding from Franklin square to Gallivan lane pays now 6 cents where the old rate was 10 cents, and with a six-cent zone would have been 12 cents. From any point north of Franklin square, with the five-cent zone, the rate was 15 cents and is now 8 cents. With the six-cent zone it would have been 18 cents (thice eix- cent zones). From Franklin square to Trading Cove the old rate and the new rate are the same, 5 cents, but between Trading Cove and any point on the city lines, south of Avery's and the Catholic cemetery, the new rate is 6 cents, and the old rate was 10 cents. The fare from Occum to the city was 10 cents and a six-cent zone would have made it ]2 cents. It is now 8 cents and 12 céhts would enti- tle a passenger to ride from Occum to Gallivan lane. Under a six-cent zone the fare to this point would have been 18 cents. On the main line from Norwich to New London the old fare from Frank- lin square to the Parade was 20 cents, and a passenzer desiring to ride but a few blocks beyvond the Parade in New London, paid an additional five cents, making 25 cents, while the rate now is 24 cents, plus 2 cents (or 26 cents) to any point in New London as_far south as the Pequot. Riding from any of the branch lines in Norwich as far north on the Yantic line as Avery's (ircluding Norwich Town and Rean Hiil) or as far north as the cemetery on the Taftville line, the Pa; in New London, the fare is now 26 cents, where the rate was formerly cents, and under a six-cent fare would be 30 cents. at any point within the city “h. north of Franklin Square, to any point in the city of New London, beyond the Parade and not further away than the Pequot, the copmer zone system makes a fare of 28 cents, the old nickel rate was 30 cents, and a six-cent zone would make the rate 36 cents. In New London, while the rate has been increased one cent to Quaker Hill, a passenger riding from Quaker Hill to any point in the city of New London beyond the Parade, and not further away than the Pequot, would pay 8 cents, where they formerly paid 10 cents, and to Ocean Beach would the as under the six-cent zone fare 12-cent rate between and goin: these points From Rest View, the rate into New London, under the old system, was 5 cents, and to Ocean Beach or any point beyond the Parade 10 cents. Un- de the present system, from Best | View to any point in >w London orth of the Pequot, is 6 cents, a sav- of for n Beach, S cents, a ing of two cents. Perhaps the most spicuous in- nce of the unre s of the s S wn on the Nor- v London line where a rider sel after passing the Hill, below Troding Cove to ride only to the bottom of the hill, a few hundred feet, yet was entitled to ride as far south as Hill- top, below Montville. Coming up from New London the second five cents covered a ride to any point north of Hempsteads and not further north than the Witch Hazel mill. It scems a self evident fact that a rider from Norwich to Gallivan lane, or from New London to just above Hempsteads was paying a rate entire- ly out of proportion to the rate paid by the rider to the end of these two overlapping zones, the distance from Franklin Square to Gallivan lane, for 10 cents, being 3.81 miles, and from Franklin Square to Hiltop 7.48 miles for 10 cents. Under the new rate, the fare to these two points is 6 cents and 14 cents respectively, or as near as may be to 18 cents per mile, each passenger paying for the service he receives, the two paying 20 cents just what they would have pald under the old nickel system. Under the old sys- tem a Galllvan lane passenger was paying for a part of the service ren- dered to the rider through to Hilltop. It will then be seen that the in- crease in rate applies to long distance |ky, riders and eliminates some of the dis- criminations that were unavoidable under the old system. Under the new system riders from and to certain points pay more than under the old, others pay less with a six-cent zone all would have paid more. The copper zone, then, was first put into effect in order to bring about an increase In gross earnings and to do this in a way that would, as far as possible, equalize the rate and not add a burden to the short rider within the populated areas where the volume of business justified retaining the nickel as the unit of fare.

United States Referees in Bankrupt- cy for the district of Connecticut at their bi-monthly meeting in Hart- ford. voted to adopt a uniform sys- tem of dlanks to be used in this juris- diction in the matters of petitions for dischare from bankruptcy, for re- ports of the referee as to advertising and for referees recommendations for discharge of a bankrupt.
