Thawinq in Cascades

SEATTLE, Wash. Feb. g. - The spring thaw began in the mountains today. Temperatures rose to 40 at noon in the passes through which the railroads cross the Cascades, and rain was intermittent. Railroad men are more hopeful today than in weeks. The snow along their lines, although unprecedented in quantity. is well packed, and not inclined to slide. The Northern Pacific and Milwaukee are running trains through the noun tains, and the Great Northern, which has temporarily abandoned it's noun tain division. anticipates no great number of slides. The mountain streams have begun to rise, but there have been no washouts.
 The side of a 150-foot bluff in West Seattle slid toward the sea beach today and it's descent partially de- molished six houses. Five of the houses were occupied, and some of the inhabitants were slightl- injured Dwellers in other houses along the bluff have been ordered to vacate the buildings.
 A slide 150O feet long and 400 feet wide on Magnolia Bluff today carried away bulkhead and the garden of C. l.. Hibbard causing a loss of s10, 900. The debris of the garden and bulkhead struck the shore of the bay with terrific force, carrying away the sea wall.

 WASHINGTON Feb. 9.-Charging that Louis D. Brandeis. as counsel for the interstate commerce commission in the per cent advance rate case, conceded to the cause of the rail- loads to the fatal injury of the pub lie interest, Clifford Thorne railroad commissioner of Iowa and an asso- ciate counsel in the rate case, ap- pealed to the judiciary sub committee of the senate tonight not to recom- mend confirmation of Mir Brandeis' nomination to the supreme court of the United States
 MT. Thorne argued that it would be very costly to the American people to put men on the supreme court bench with preconceived notions as to high returns on railroad invest 'nents in view of the fact that ques- tions involved in the national ap- praisement of railroads now going on ultimately would have to be deter mined by that tribunal Summing up his case. he declared:
 'I have shown conclusively from the records that Mir. Brandeis has com mitted himself to the proposition that return on the capital stock of rail- roads of 71z per cent is, to use his i own words, rather niggardly.'
 That is the return which the in- terstate commerce commission unani- mously determined was adequate Further, the investors of this country have decided that a stock yielding 7K per cent Tn the market places of the country is worth 100 cents on the dol lar have repeatedly challenged any one to name a security which earns that amount that does not command ! lar pr above par.
 "The other proposition which l | have attempted to show is entirely i independent of the merits of the rate 1 case and whether MT. Brandeis was right or wrong in his position as to 1 the adequacy of railroad revenue. The other proposition related to a matter of professional ethics. I have shown you that MT. Brandeis was employed 1 by the interestate commerce commits sion with specific instructions not to advocate any particular theory as to 1 the disposition of the case. He was
 asked if ne was willing to take the
 burden of seeing that the other side of the case was developed. and told ! that the railroad side would be ade- .uuatelv cared for. I have tried to 1 show ttat MT Brandeis had expressed the greatest of confidence in the pre- sentatiOn of the rate case by asso- ciate counsel.
 T have shown that Mir. Brandei1 oo-operated in a friendly manner dur ing the conduct of the case while as- sociate counsel, yet. at the crucial time, MT Brandeis, without warning
 to other counsel after all argument
 had been closed, conceded entirely tc the railroads Had l known that such was going to be his position; had he
 advised us of his decision, steps cer-
 tainly would have been taken for our
 protection. and we would have de-
 Inanded an opportunity to be heard
 after Mir Brandeis had closed the ar
 gument for the public.

Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

The French and Germans have been engaged in furious combat on the sector of the western battle front be- tween Lens and ArraS, where recently there has been great activity. Berlin reports that to the west of the town of Vimy the Germans captured French positions over length of 800 yards. Paris admits that the Germans, after the explosion of two heavily charged mines, got a foothold in portions of a French trench, but say that they were driven out by hand grenade at tacks.
 Southwest of Vimy, in the vicinity of the road running from Neville to The Jus, the Germans discharged another mine and then essayed an infantry at tack against the French, which was | repulsed.
 | Paris also reports that the French, in the grenade attack, drove the Ger mans from a small post between Soissons and Rheims, so that the French batteries have badly damaged i German organizations in the forest of Apremont, southeast of St. Mihiel On the Russian front. Berlin reports the repulse of Russian infantry attacks at several points in the Riga region. A Petrograd dispatch says severe fight ! ing is developing in this region, the preliminary artillery duels having changed into bombardments of great
 intensity.
 Nothing new has come through con- corning the situation on the Austro- Italian line, in Belgium, or in Asia.

CONGRESS WOULD GIVE NEW PENSION ID
 CIVIL WAR VETS AND SPANISH WAR WIDOWS

It would grant widows whose incomes do not exceed $250 a year pensions of SIP month and s3 additional for each minor child without regard to the cause of the soldiers death.
 Republican Leader Mann urged the passage of the bill to encourage volun- teer duty.
 Especially at present, with the pos sibility of war facing us,' he said, it is appropriate that we should say partic- ularly to the young man, You offer us your lives when you enlist, and by the eternal, if you die we will take care of your widows"
 Representative Gardner insisted that the measure was unfair to the widows of regular army soldiers.
