cUls Taken by Surprise,
WASHINGTON'. " Feb. 23. New-
charges, alleging employment of Louis
r. Brandeis by E. H. Harriman, lo oo
tain proxies iu the celebrated fight
lor control of the Illinois Central
Railroad, and Mr. Brandeis' relations
to the Equitable Life Assurance So
clety, were filed today with the Sen
ate Bub-committee considering- Mr.
Brandeis' nomination for the Supreme
. Court.
Austin G. Fox, a New York attorney,
in charge of presenting evidence for
those opposed to the confirmation of
Mr. Brandeis. laid the new charges
before the committee.
Firm Managed to Get Proxies.
In 1901 he said, when E. H. Harrl
man was fighting Stuyvesant Fish for
control of the Illinois Central, &uui
vn Jfc Cromwell. Harriman'a attor
neys. sent Wadill Catchings to Boston
mnlnv Rrandels. Dunbar & Nut
ter to secure Droxies from Illinois
Central stockholders in New England
to be voted against Fish.
"rhorffiftpr." said' Fox. "Mr. Bran
deis' firm acted or Mr. Harriman and
widely sought to obtain proxies in
his behalf. A number of "letters so
liciting proxies were sent out by Bran
rioid Tninhar A Nutter.
"In 190S, Mr. Brandeis, in answer to
a charge made by Joseph B. Warner
hrn h ipsrlslMtlve contmittee on
railroads of Massachusetts that Mr.
Brandeis had acted in behalf of Mr.
Harriman. write to Joseph Walker,
chairman of the committee:
Acting for Harriman Denied.
" T hovn never acted for Mr. Harrl
man or communicted with him or with
anyone who represented him; nor have
I acted, so far as I know, for any
company with, which Mr. Harriman
was ever connected. No one connected
with my firm has ever acted for Mr.
Harriman or for ny company with
which Mr. Harriman
excent as follows:.
'"On November 22, 190T, a repre
sentative of the firm of Sullivan &
Cromwell, of New York, ior whom we
havA nctpA from time to time, for
nearlv 15 years, requested my part
. ner, Mr.. Nutter, to aid him in connec
tion with obtaining proxies for the
annual meeting of the Illinois Cen
tral. Mr. Nutter, in the presence of
' Sullivan & Cromwell's representative,
asked me n that day whether there
was anything in my merger fight
which should prevent his acting in
that matter and I told him none what
ever that so far as I knew Mr. Har
riman had no interest of any kind in
the merger question.
Denial Declared I'ntrue.
' " Mr. Nutter did act for Messrs.
Sullivan & Cromwell, and either he
nr- nunnii: emnlnvcd bv him solicited
in the most open manner, during the
course of several months, proxies, ap
plying among others to many gentle
men who. were known to be most ac-
tiviv in favni- of the merger.
Mr Brandeis. in his book, "Other
People's Money and How the Bankers
Use It," Mr. Foxsaid, attacked Harri
man and quoted from the opinion of
Commissioner Lane (then of the Inter
state Commerce Commission), telling of
Mr. Harriman'a interest in various
roads.
Other charges made by Mr. Fox con
cerned an alleged connection of Mr.
Brandeis with two suits brought in
1906 against the Gillette Safety Razor
Company. The suits were brought by
stockholders, alleging mismanagement
and general misconduct of business.
Brandeis, Dunbar & Nutter, Mr. Fox
said, appeared for the defendants, and
Henry T. Richardson and Henry E.
Williams for the plaintiff.
, Fraud Charged In Suit.
"While the second. suit was still be
ing heard by a master," said Fox,
"Brandeis sent for Richardson and told
him that Gillette, one of his clients,
had been endeavoring to obtain con
trol of the stock of the company, and
that in order to accomplish it, he
(Brandeis) proposed forming a new
corporation to which should be trans
ferred the stock of the Gillette Com
pany. Brandeis further said that the
purpose was to oust Mr. Joyce and Mr.
Holloway, whom he represented Xn this
suit with Gillette." '
Subsequently a bill in equity was
brought by Joyce and Holloway in the
Supreme Court of Maine on the ground
that formation of the new corporation
was a fraud upon them.
When, in the early Fall of 1906.
George C. Peters sued the Equitable for
an accounting and distribution of its
reserve assets, Mr. Fox told the com
mittee he would show that Brandeis,
Dunbar & Nutter appeared for the
Equitable; that when the plaintiff
amended the complaint, setting forth
substantially what Mr. Brandeis said
in his speech before 'the Commercial
Club, a demurrer was filed, but over
ruled, and an appeal was taken by
Brandeis, Dunbar & Nutter to the Su
preme Court of Massachusetts, where
the decision of the lower court was af
firmed. The case finally was dismissed.

Faut, an aged Chwese worker of this
city, was killed late Monday ntgnt t:

Qulne today appealed to the Portland
officers to aid him in apprehending the
murderers. The Sheriff has learned
that the two men suspected of the
crime left Roseburg early Tuesday
morning, after purchasing transporta
tion to Salem. They arrived there at
1 o'clock in the afternoon and an hour
later boarded an Oregon Electric train
for Portland. They alighted from the
train at Corbett street, according to
information received bv Sheriff Quine,
and he Bays they are probably in hid-
ine- in Portland.
Lee Chung, brother of the murdered
man. arrived here today from Med
ford, to attend the Coroner's inquest,
which was held today. Chung says he
believes he knows -who killed Faut and
he left for Portland tonight to aid the
officers there n their Search. . Chung
refused to confide the names of -the
men he suspects to the Sheriff.
The Sheriff believes Faut was killed
for his money, rather than being the
victim of the tongs. A bank book
found in a trunk in the house occupied
by the dead man showed that he had
$750 in a local bank. Local Chinamen
maintain that Faut was not affiliated
with either of the tongs. '
mans law was powerless 10 unus

The peace conference at Fourth ana

For the rival tongs appeared Lee

with several lesser officials.
The peace society is hopeful of ex
tending the armistice into lasting
peace. During the next few -weeks
numerous conferences will be held
looking to a permanent treaty.
Mo Lee Tong, vice-president of the
Portland ' peace society, is optimistic,
s is also the secretary, Leong Jeu
Hing. "There will be no, more shoot
ing for at least a month maybe
never," they said.
From San Francisco it is reported a
representative of the Chinese Six Com
panies is hastening to Portland to add

Latent Victim Mourned. '
Though there is mourning among the
Chinese friends of Leong Yin Lock,
who was killed from ambush' by Ah
Low, a Bing Kong gunman, early
Wednesday morning, the regret is not
onfined to Oriental quarters.
For 12 years or more the latest vic
tim of tong troubles had been cook at
House's restaurant, 128 ft Third
treet, at the door of which he was
assassinated. He had many white
friends, some of them on the police
force. These describe nim as"a gentle,
kindly man. Some say he was not a
tong man. 'The belief is quite general
that his assassin mistook the cook for
another. In support of this theory it
is pointed out that the captured mur-
erer is not one of the local colony, but
evidently has been summoned to the
tong war.
Ah Low, the assassin, is sullenly
silent.
Witnesses in the case against Ah
Low were examined yesterday by the
grand jury, and it is eccpected that an
indictment will be returned today.

ALBANY, ' Or., Feb. 23. (Special.)
Albany had Its, first taste of excitement
as the result of the Chinese tong war
today when Loo Wall, a prominent Al
bany Chinese, told his friends-he was
going into hiding because his life had
een threatened. Friends In Portla.d
sent warning to him. The situation
was further compMoatea wnen two
transient Celestials arrived on the noon
train and began a tour of inspection
Over the city. One of them caused a
small sensation by going to the local
telephone office and talking to a party
in an Francisco's Chinatown for three
minutes, paying (5.58 tolls on his mes
sage. He also talked to two different
parties in Portland, paying heavy toll
bills.
The two transients refused to talk
to anybody and have not registered at
any hotel. They are being shadowed

anew today and leaders expressed fear
that the assasins -would lonow tnem

Republicans of Connecticut
WouId Support Either,
' - Says Hartford Editor.
PARTY STRONGEST IN STATE
State Depends on Tariff and Re
turn of Business Stagnation Is
Considered Possible Dem--
ocrats Favor' Wilson.
(Below ! the first of a series of articlem
to appear In The Oregonian analyzing the
political conditions in various states of the
Union. It is written by -Charles H. Clark,
editor of the Harttord Couraat, and presents
the situation in the State ol Connecticut.;
HARTFORD. Conn., Feb. 23. (Spe
clal.) Reserving a reasonable inde
Dendence. the Hartford Courant has
been connected with the Republican
party ever since that party was organ
ized. in the '50s. Those who read this
article, giving the Courant's view of
Connecticut politics, will undoubtedly
feel that they are seeing the state
through Republican spectacles, but the
effort has been made to state the case
Just as it appears in this office, without
prejudice in either direction.
In the opinion of the Courant the
state of Connecticut is under normal
conditions safely Republican. Since
the adoption in 1901 of the constitu
tional amendment by which the Gov
ernor was elected by mere plurality of
the voters, there has been but one
Democratic Governor, Chief Justice
Simeon E. Baldwin, who was elected on
a local split in the Republican party
in 1910. and re-elected in 1912 when
the Progressives flocked by themselves.
But in 1914 Judge Marcus H. Holcomb,
Republican, was elected Governor by
an overwhelming plurality, and a clear
majority.
Hughes Easiest to Elect.
Among Republicans the discussion of
Presidential candidates, so far as me
Courant is able to ascertain, is mainly
limited to Hughes, Root and Burton.
The other candidates named are prac
tically never heard of. The opinion of
the party, so faras discussion reveals,
Beems to be that Hughes would be the
easiest to elect, but there is hesitancy
about .creating another vacancy on' the
United States Supreme bench; that Root
would be the hardest of all to elect, al
though the ablest, if once to office, and
that he is as unwilling as Hughes to
take the place: and that Burton is,at
least as good as any of the candidates
safe, sound, honest and thoroughly ex
perienced. Connecticut Republicans
would be highly pleased tto vote for any
one of the three.
1 As for the Progressives, they have
largely come back to the Republican
party. In 1912 the KepuDiican candi
date for Governor, who was defeated,
had in round numbers 67,500 votes, and
the Progressive candidate for Governor
31.000. But in 1914 Judge Holcomb, Re
publican, who was elected, had 91,000
and the Progressive candidate only
8000. The Republican vote increased
just about as much as the Progressive
vote feii off. and the wnoie vote or tne
state declined 10.000. It ia generally
assumed that the Progressive vote will
count for little in the state by Itself.
State Depend on 'Tariff.
As regards the issues, Connecticut
depends largely on the tariff, and there
is a general conviction that the de
DresainE- stagnation, which prevailed
before tne war brought on its unnatural
prosperity, is liable to return just as
soon as the fighting is over. On the
currency there has never been evidence
of much public interest. In the matter
of nreDaredness the state is largely in
favor of such action. It isvscarcely pos
sible to find any one to defend the Afl
ministration'a nolicv in Mexico, espe
cially since Connecticut hasarge inter
ests in that country. Ana in tne mat
ter of the European war, .there is no
appearance of politics.
' Regarding the result of the next
election upon returning prosperity, the
feeling is general, as intimated al
ready, that it ia necessary to secure a
Congress which would re-establish ade
quate protection, xne aitnuae oi iot
country with regard to oyesiuns, as
illustrated by Congressman HH1, is only
one of the factors that create tne senti
mftif;hich nrevails in Connecticut.
The democratic party has survived
so long that the probability is It will
continue so to do, but the Indications
are that in Connecticut it will have an
uphill fight.
Anton? the Democrats of Connecticut,
th sentiment as between Wilson and
Rrvan is unauestionably in favor of
Wilson
As regards the coming election in
Connecticut, it is the opinion of the
Courant, as already intimated, that the
state will be carried oy tne xtepuo-
licans.
