Washington, March l5.-The Senate
judiciary b-Committee, considering
the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis
TO the Supreme Court, completed its
public hearings to-day and adjourned
until March "a, when it is expected

The last witness heard was Edward

Of which Mr.. BrandeIs was counsel.
During the fight before the Massaehu-
setts Legislature that year on the con-
solidation of the Boston gas companies,
Mr.. Warren said. his committee and
Mr.. Brandeis worked along harmo-
niously TO protect the public interest
until one day Mr. Brandeis, suddenly,
and without explanation, appeared be-
fore the executive committee OF the

ing their capitalization two or three
million dollars.

Samuel Gompers, president OF tho
American Federation Of Labor, to-day
before the Senate Committee on Taxa
ton and Retrenchment and tho As
sembly Excise Committee. In opposing
tho Wilson-Fullager statewide pro-
hibition bill
The hearing brought to Albany large
delegations for and against tho meas
ura The fighting qualities Of the
armies In Europe were used by both
sides in furthering their arguments.
Mr. Gompers declared that he had
never seen so many men drunk as he
had in the cities OF prohibition states.
"In any of these cities" he said, "a
man can get drink II he wants it and
has money 20 pay for 1t. In the pro
hibition territory persons carry q
flask on their hips and the barroom
is in the home rather than the saloon"

qs simply a case Of the corporations
rushing to the aid Of their friends.
Senator lawson is right There ISN'T
the least doubt in my mind that the
" hitney- Turner Hsrkness system 10 re-
sponsible for the publication OF the
letters.
"This system is in close touch with
all corporations. and - i. an extremely
easy thing for IL 70 get anything from
ths corporations that II wants. our
committee. with its corps OF subpoena
servers and other officers. finds II hard
20 get the papers we want. The Pubic
Service Commission system, however
can get anything II wants.
az don't see how the publication o'
the letters is going 10 affect the op-
position to the confirmation OF hitney
to-morrow. don't feel that he should
be made member Of the commission.
and the publication Of all the letters IN
the world is not going to change tna'
opinion"
Well informed officials around the
hotels tonight declared that the letters
were made public with the full knowl-
edge of the Executive Office. While no
one would say absolutely that Gov
ernor Whitman had a hand in their
publication. II is understood that inc
publicity given Senator Lawson Is not
displeasing 20 him at this time.
For the last few days the Governor
has been using every influence at his
command TO force the confirmation OF
Whitney, and while his friends declared
tonight that his nomination would
surely be confirmed there is feeling
of doubt tonight which will not be
dissipated until the vote Is finally taken
tomorrow.
Whether Governor Whitman will be
able TO force the confirmation Of Whit
ney, in view Of the publication OF the
Lawson letters, remains TO be seen. 50
far as the anti-Whitman Senators are
concerned, II seemed 10 act as a tonic
for they set 10 work with greater vigor
to line up forces against the Gov
ernor's nominations.
Senators Lawson and Thompson were
in conference at midnight tonight.

permit TO go through without obstruc-
tion from the minority.
Meanwhile doubts as 20 the advis-
ability of the scuttle policy are being
reused In the minds OF many members
of the House by the food OF mail they
are receiving from banks and factories
in their districts. A large savings in
stitution in Baltimore sent an appeal
70 Representative Coady, OF the Sd
MARYLAND District to-day, pointing out
that this bank had bought large block
Of the Philippines Railway Company
Hrst mortgage 4 per cent bonds, due
in 1887.
These bonds are guaranteed by the
Philippine government, and were au-
thoriZed By act OF Congress OF the
United States. Holders OF them. real
izing that anarchy is the logical con-
dtion TO follow cutting all connec-
tions with the United States, have been
offering the bonds at lower and lower
prices until recent sale was made on
the New York Stock Exchange az 30.
The letter from the Baltimore bank
is typical of food of others which
have reached members OF the House
as hundreds Of banks purchased the
bonds years ago.
Savings banks Of this country, the
letters indicate, also hold many
millions Of bonds issued by the Philip,,
pine government itself and authorized
by the United States government

the islands also would be cut down, II

p. S. c. "Triumvirate"
Blamed bY Lawson


Albany, March 15.-Senator Lawson
declared tonight that the so-called
System" IN the Public Service Com
mission, consisting OF Whitney, Turner
and Hardness, was responsible for
making public his letters 10 the tcle-
phone company. He said it was pc
culiarly significant that the notes
should be given out TO be printed in
the newspapers on the day that the
Governors appointments Of Whitney
and Hervey will come before the SEN
ate for confirmation.
Senator lawson admitted writing two
letters 70 the telephone company. but
declared that he saw no improperly in
anything contained in them. The pub
licatiou Of the letters. he said, would
not change his course in the Senate
when the names OF Whitney and Her
vey come up tomorrow.
As soon as the Senate meets to-rnor-
row Senator Lawson will rise 20 q
question OF personal privilege and OK
plain the letters 20 his fellow Sena-
tors. Tho publication Of the letters
occasioned much discussion tonight.
There whs some talk OF the Judiciary
Committee taking action by framing
charges against lawson. n this il
done he would have 20 be tried before
the Senate as body.

Telephone Company, r. Y. Reuter-. OF

in fact. in the sleeping apartment, and
after while my number became known
70 a large number of people. who were
constantly calling me up.
"This caused considerable neon
venience 10 run up and down stairs
both for my family and myself, and
had a conversation with Mr.. Reuter-
last December with regard 20 putting IN
an extension in the basement When
mailing him check under date OF Febru-
airy /. from Albany. | called his atten-
ton TO this conversation and asked MN
il there was no way TO obviate the
necessity OF running up and down
stairs by putting in an extension
said: IT is continuing nuisance 70
have 10 run up and down stairs every
time the telephone rings.
81 told Mr.. Reuter- in my letter that
while I did desire the extension did
not feel that | ought 20 pay SO year
for it Neither do ] want 10 introduce
legislation | added, which would com
pei your company 20 supply, without
additional cost, one extension. at least
10 every subscriber desiring same.
Charges Collusion.
az consider II is outrageous to charge
subscriber. additional rents for every
little attachment that they put to your
telephone, and particularly where an
extension wire and instrument cost
them little or nothing. Il was never
my intention in any way, manner or
form 10 threaten or compel the tele-
phone company TO make an exception
TO me that they wouldn't do for any
ono else, and | so stated 10 Mr.. Reuter-
very clearly in conversations with him.
"The fact that these private letters
will be given to the public in the news
papers tomorrow morning, when the
nominations of Mr.. Whitney and Mr..
Hervey will come before the Senate for
confirmation, is 3 pretty good indica-
tion Of the reasons why they are given
out. Il also demonstrates TO me a CON
nection between the public service cor
porations and the triumyirate, Whit
ney, Harkness and Turner, that control
the Public Service Commission of the
First District. This is one OF the many
annoyances that | have been sub jected
TO for long while during our investi-
cation by the legislative investigating
committee.
First | was shadowed by detectives
all around the city for quite a period
Of time, and next was accused Of
junketing through the state last sum
mer in a state automobile, with a state
chauffeur, at the states expense. This
latter story was exploded when the
records OF. the Controllers Office were
investigated and no expense vouchers
signed by me located there"
Senator Lawson also said that last
Tuesday a lobbyist for the telephone
company approached him In a local
hotel here and offered TO fix the matter
up for him. The Senator said he indig-
nantly spurned the offer of the lobbyist.
Senator George F. Thompson, chair
man of the investigation committee of
which Senator Lawson is also a mem
Der. declared tonight that he believed
there was not the least doubt as TO the
source Of the trouble.
"The publication OF the Lawson let
ters tonight" Senator Thompson said,

practise marches that the national
guard units along the border are put

un transportation has vindicated the
army mule in a way that surprises the
old timers. ,.E 4
Motor trucks with yellow prairie.
schooner tops drawn over tons of sup.
pines, make an impressive display on
paved streets or macadamized roads. In
Europe, where the road systems are
perfect, motors have naturally super,
seeded the old king Of transport. But
except in certain localities the deserts
Of the southwest are not provided with
roads built for automobiles. ..rF1'' IS
The divisional "hikes' out Of FL
Paso form lines about fifteen miles
long. For about ten miles stretch see,
tions of infantry, cavalry and artillery
that grind the roads under boots; hoofs
and wheels. Then come field ambu.
lances and supply divisions. The nc.
cumulated dust and drifting sand con.
ceals treacherous chuck holes. Sud
denly truck goes in up to the hubs.
In the rear line stalled trucks, and
even stalled wagons, appear at inter
walls. They are unlOaded, boosted out
of the ruts and reloaded. Some of
them are left too far behind to catch
up in the night. This means some com. :.
pany has to roll up in its blankets sup.
PEERLESS. the horses of some troops must
GO without fodder, or some other unit
may have to beg water.
Brt past the stalled sixty horsepower

The only trouble is that the mules do
not pack enough. They are the sur.
est thing in the border army.
