TIIE MORNIXG OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1916. BRANDEIS IS NAMED TO SUCCEED LAIR reformer, known as radical, appointed supreme court JUSTICE. Wilson Selects Boston Law yer to Fill Vacancy on Su preme Court Bench. OFFICIALS ARE SURPRISED ame Not Previously Kvcn Consld cred Publicly In Connection With Place, bat Once Mentioned as Cabinet Possibility. WASHINGTON. Jan. zn. President Wilson today sent to the Senate the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis. law yer, of Boston, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in nuccesslon to the late Justice Lamar. The nomina tion was a complete surprise In orTl eial circles. Mr. Brandeis' name had not been mentioned publicly in con nection with the place. Mr. Brandeis has been in the public eye for some years as & prolific writer on economic topics and for his connec tion with labor ami trust legislation. He attained some prominence eix years aco as attorney for the interests which rought the removal from office of Sec retary Ballinger in the noted Plnchot- Ballinger controversy. He was counse later on for the shippers who opposed the general Increases In freight rates before the Interstate Commerce Com mission, and during; the same period he was at the forefront of those who were demanding an In vestigatlon of the financial affairs of the New Haven Railroad. Orrgoa Labor Case Recalled. Mr. Brandeis represented the Oregon Industrial Welfare Commission last year in the case of O'Hara vs. Stettler. In the Vnited States Supreme Court, civinir the oral argument and prepar ing one of the briefs. The case is still pending; In the court. Several years ago Judge Brandeis appeared before the Supreme Court in the same ca pacity In the Interest of the Oregon 10-hour law. In this case he appeared as counsel for Illinois and Ohio as well. He was. in 1910. chairman of the board of arbitration which settled the New lork garment makers' strike. Mr. Brandeis' voluminous writings Include many articles, pamphlets and books on public franchises, life Insur ance. wage earners' insurance, scientific management, labor problems and tne trupt question. The appointee was born in Kentucky and is 69 years old. He waa born and ducated In Louisville and later at tlarvard University, and in 1878 began practicing law In Boston. Some Senators announced today that they were opposed to the nomination but declined to be quoted. The only Senator found who was willing publicly to record his opposition at this time was Senator Wadsworth, Republican. of New York. Senators who approved the nomi nation also avoided public expression of their views. They felt sure, how ever, they could command the neces sary majority to confirm the appoint ment, they said. "I have nothing whatever to say; 1 have not said anything and will not." was Mr. Brandeis only comment to night as he went to dine with President Wilson at Secretary McAdoo's house. Justices Hughes and Pitney also at tended the dinner. The Senate Judiciary committee, to which the nomination was referred, will appoint on Monday a sub-committee, which, according to precedent, will consider the nomination and' make a re port. If today's discussion amounts to anything, it will develop In the com mittee. There has been no contest of any note over a Supreme Court ap pointment since the days of President Cleveland. Ptachot Amobk ladorsera. It was learned tonight that among the indorsements sent to the President urging Mr. Brandeis appointment to the Supreme Court bench was one from Gifford Pinchot. ex-Chief Forester. Although celebrated as a lawyer. Mr. Brandeis has been devoting practically all of his time of late to the Zionist movement in thjs country, which has for Its object the repatriation of the Jews to a nation of their own in Pales tine. If confirmed he would be the first Jew to sit on the Supreme Court bench. Some of the Senators disposed to ex press opposition to Mr. Brandeis today were democrats who sought to put their objections on political grounds. Senator James, of Kentucky, the native state of Mr. Brandeis, unreservedly told them the nominee was a Democrat. Justice Lamar, whom he m-ould succeed, also was a Democrat. Six of the eight Justices now on the bench are Republicans. i wvm f y - - - r. m W :.s ' I STEAMER CARRYING 300 LONG OVERDUE Grave Fears Are Felt in Lon don for Appam From Af rican West Coast.

The President holds that it has another representative in Associate Justice McReynold. of Tennessee. Nevertheless, the closely populated sec tion lying between those two states and Wyoming is without a single voice in the Supreme bench. Chief Justice White, who comes from Louisiana, and Mr. McReynolds represent the South; Mr. Pay, as stated, the Middle West; Associate Justice Hughes, of New York, and Associate Justice Pitney, of New Jersey, the East; Associate Jus tice MrKenna. of California, the Pa cific Slope: Associate Justice Vande vanter. of Wyoming, the Rocky Moun tain states, and Associate Justice Holmes, of Massachusetts. New Eng land. It Is pointed out that the appoint ment of Mr. Brandeis gives Massa chusetts and New England two rep resentatives on the court. It is also declared by Democrats that Mr. Brandeis does not belong to and is r.ot a member of their party. They assert they were assured that a real bona fide Iemocrat would be named to the place made vacant by the death of Associate Justice Lamar, of Georgia. Both Democrats and Republicans as m rt that as a matter of fact Mr. Brandeis is socialistic in his views; that if he should be permitted to go on the bench there would be an interpretation of constitutional questions which would t-ike at tne foundation of the Gov ernment. Added to the doubt of Mr. Brandeis" democracy is the irritation caused by Mr. Wilson's failure to consult mem bers of the Judiciary committee and Democratic leaders in advance of the appointment. In the past the usual course has been for the President to make ui his mind and then sound the chairman and members of the Judiciary committee. Nothing of the kind was dona. Republicans see in the nomination of Mr. Brandeis a bid to the Jewish, pro tierman and labor votes by Mr. Wilson. In this connection a story la recalled that before the President made up his Cabinet he slated the Boston lawyer for the office of Attorney. General. Op position of business men resulted in a decision not to name bira. It is evident that the nomination of Mr. Brandeis will remain for a long time in the Judiciary committee. Charity Agencies Appeal for Help of All Kinds, Particularly for AVork for Deserving Who Yet Cling to Hope of Home. l-'or eight years he has tried to keep his little home together the mother less daughter of 16 years going to night and day. school In the hope of fitting herself to swell the income of the family: a 13-year-old boy 111 from actual starvation, and the father work ing two days a week on a city Job. Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, head of the Women's Protective Bureau of the De partment of Public Safety, sought to break the family up two months ago; but their pleadings were too pitiful. It was a home to them, even though there was but one bed. no stove and nothing to eat in the house. The break came yesterday, n was i nince the children in other homes or allow them to starve to death. And the home became nil. There are other cases almost as . Tha combination of illness occasioned by the weather, the unusual severity of the Winter and the shortage of fuel has brought about a crisis in many house holds, according to Mrs. Baldwin, wno yesterday issued an appeal to tne peo ple of Portland to assist the charity organization. a woman reported yesteraay uiai had taken a basket of food to one fam ily of nine children, and right there and then thev had sat down and eaten the entire contents, without one iota of thought for the morrow. Of course they ate it up. repnea me charity worker. "In an ordinary home such a basket might have been supple mentary. B"t wo are dealing now witn cupboards that are bare, absolutely without food or signs of where the next will come from." Portland gave charitably during the Christmas season, but it gave, say the charity workers, with the belief that each had done his part. "This is not the time to let up now. appealed Mrs. Baldwin yesterday. "We're In just as great need of funds and help as at Christmas time." . Money or food alone are not all asked for work is wanted above all else, she says, for the more deserving are crying for work.

They pa7 the women 20 cents an hour for their time, and in this way are providing lit tle odd Jobs for scores of persons who otherwise would be out ot employment They ask that any one having sewing of any kind to be done please notify them.

Fears for 300 Per sians, 166 of whom were passengers and 134 in the crew of the British steamer Appam, are great here, as the vessel has not been heard from since January 15, four . days after leaving Dakar for Plymouth. The trip ordi narily requires only ten days. A dispatch from Hull to Lloyds says that the British steamer Tregantle re ports having passed at sea January 16 a lifeboat with the name Appam painted on the stern and the bow knocked away. The Appam is many days overdue on the ten-day trip from Dakar, Senegal, West Africa, for Plymouth. A report from Lisbon recently announced that mines had been discovered in tne nay of Biscav. The Appam was of 7781 tons cross. she was owned by the British & African Steamship Naviga tion Company. Submarine Is Suspected. Since the disappearance of the Wara tah in 1909 nothing has so mystified shipping circles as the vanishing of tho Appam. the crack boat of the Elder Dempster line.

The Appam called at all ports on tho TCt fount of Africa, picking up offi cials coming home on furlough. These formed a considerable portion oi aier passenger list.
