Fox, attorney for the opposition to the confirmation at the re- opening of public hearings. Willlam ¥. Fitzgerald, a Boston broker, testified as to the Brandels connection with the old Dominlon Copper company case. In 1903, he said, Brandels was em- ployed by Towle and Fitsgerald to help get proxies to galn control of the com- pany. They were successful, and after electing new directors it was found neces- sary to raise more funds. Finally Fits- gerald testified, it was planned to con- solidate with the United Globe Mining company, adjoining, and to give the Uid Dominfon stockholders, some of whom Fitagerald represented, a two to one in- An engineer employed by the Old Do- minjon directors to examine the proper- tles recommended, however, Fitzgerald testified, that the Old Dominion stock- holders should recelvs & four to one in- terest.

PERSHING LEAVES EL PASO TO TAKE GERMAN FEDERAL COMMITTEE MEETS Indications that Some of Smaller States Are Not Pleased with Con- duct of Foreign Affairs. CHANCELLOR BACK IN BERLIN AMSBTERDAM, March 14.—(Via London.)—German newspapers say | that Chancellor Von Bethmann- Hollweg has returned from the gen- eral headquarters. His return Is in connection with the iliness of Ad- miral Von Tirpitz, the minister of marine, which the newspapers say has created an unusual sensation. The committee on foreign affairs| of the German federal state is to meet tomorrow, under the presidency | of the Bavarian premler. Neither the chancellor nor Prussia is repre- sented on this committes, which meets occasionally as a sort of con- trol board of foreign affairs of Ger- many. George Bernhard says in the Vossische Zeltung that the decision to hold a meet- ing of this committteo in regarded as a sign that the German states are dissatis- fied with the present condition of affairs in respect to the war. He hints that the committee desires a conference with the | chancellor on pending questions, includ- ing disputes with the United States. Herr Bernhard declares the nation is being kept in the dark and takes the | position that the government's silencs | must be broken. { Stark and Taylor | Drafted by Demos HASTINGS, Neb, March 14.—S8pecial | Telegram.)—W.

Reaching the entry into the main part of the establishment Ravits spun sud denly on his heel, &nd knocked Moore | flat, with a blow on the jaw. The latter whipped out his revolver, but a kick on the wrist from Ravits, sent it spinning across the room. The bandit then man- aged to get his feet, before the store- keeper could pounce upon him, and fled from the place with Ravits and Bery in pursuit. The race continued past the home of O. G. Israclsom, @11 North Twenty- soventh street, who in answer to the cries for assistance, secured his revolver and joined in the chase. It finally dwindled down to just Moore and Israclson, over fences, through alleys and rear yards, with Moore gaining slowly. Israelson noticing this stopped and fired ~the bulet striking the ground a few inches Lo the rear of Moore, and throw- ing particles of dirt over him. The shot proved effective in bringing the holdup to a dead stop, and covered by his cap. tol weapon he was taken back to Ravits' store. Soon Confesses.
