BRANOIES FAILED
TO KEEP FAITH,
SAYS THORNt
Charge Made by Iowa Railroad
Commissioner
APPEARED FOR SHIPPERS
But His Opening Argument Turned
Scales Against People in Favor
of Corporations.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Investigation
Of President Wilson'S. nomination of
Louis ID. Brandeis OF Boston to the
supreme court bench was begun yes
terday by Senate subcommittee
which first heard Clifford Thorne,
Of the Iowa board of railroad com
misssioners, who was associated with
Mr.. Brandeis in the fight against Civ
ing the eastern railways increased
freight rates. Mr.. Tnorne assailed
the conduct Of Mr.. Brandeis in that
case.
II believe the nominee before this
committee was guilty of infdelity, of
breach of faith and of unpfofessional
conduct in connection with one of the
greatest cases of this generation,
said he. Thorne charged that Brand
els, as lawyer appearing for the
shippers, conceded that the rate re-
turn to the railways was indequate
and that Brandeis in his opening oral
argument to the interstate commerce
commission conceded that the re-
turns were inconsistent with prosper
ity of the railways and welfare of the
public" Il was simply dumfounded,' .
