protest was received by several men,
bers of the Judiciary Committee yester-
day from Clifford Thorne, member Of
the Iowa Railway Commission, who
charges that Mr.. Brandeis threw" the
case of the Western shippers before the
Interstate Commerce Commission who
were fighting the advance in rates sought
by the railroads. Mr.. Thorne will appear
and tell his story to the members of the
subcommittee and some of the members
regard 1t as very important. Just what
other interest will be heard on the nom
ination is not now clear.
Expect Favorable Recomme n dation.
Former Senator Bristow, now a MEM
ber of the Kansas Railway Commission,
was in Washington last week and pro-
tested against confirming Mr.. Brandeis.
because of his attitude in the advanced
rate case
The full membership OF the judiciary
committee has not yet expressed itself
but it is believed that a majority is
against confirmation. One or two MEM
bers who are claiming to be non-com-
initial probably will be won over and
ii would occasion no surprise II the
nomination were reported to the Senate
with a favorable recommendation.
In any event, an important member
said, there will be no attempt to delay
action. Even II the committee is op-
posed the nomination will be reported
back adversely or without recommended
ton and the Senate left to take such
action as 1t desires A prominent Re-
publican member OF the Senate, who
expressed himself "as inexpressibly
shocked" over the appointment, said the
dimensions Of the fight against confirma-
ton would depend largely upon what
the American Bar Association has to
say.

MILES SAYS INVADERS
COULD BE REPULSED
Retired General Would Have U. S.
Army of 10000 Men, Easily
Expandable to 100000.

Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, retired,
while before the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs yesterday afternoon,
advocated regular army OF l5o, 900 with
skeleton regiments to be recruited up
to war footing in case OF threatened
hostlities. The former active army
officer did not share the fears Of Gen.
Wood that foreign foe might invade
the United States successfully. He
thought the patriotism of the people
might be relied upon to repel such an
invasion before re-enforcements arrived.
He said standing army could be or
ganized with strength of 1000 to a
regiment when the country was on a
peace basis with power to expand when
danger threatened. He believed that an
army Of 10000 could easily be raised
by expansion.
Senator Nelson, Of Minnesota, advocat-
ed an army Of million men, raised by a
standing army Of 10000 to begin with
and adding 100000 a year for four years.

nish the members of~the citrus ex-
change with the growing, shipping
and packing materials they need.
Mr.. Chambliss and A. R. Sandlin,
secretary of the sub-exchange here,
who attended the meeting of the ldirec-
tors in Tampa, have returned from
that city. By vote of six to four
the directors decided that the head

main in Tampa. The special commit
tee named to consider the removal of
the headquarters consisted of Mr..
Chambliss, F. w. Perry of Fort My
ers, and Carlo Scarlette of DeLand.
