ACTION POSTPONED
 IN BRANDEIS CASE
Senator Walsh Says His Only Crime
 Was Exposing Iniquities Of Men In High Places.

Washin gton, April 3.--Action on the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis to the Supreme Court was postponed to- day by the senate judiciary committee after it had received reports from all but one of the five senators on the subcommittee which held hearings. Senator Fletcher, democrat, made long report and Senator Chiffon, the third democrat will submit report tomorrow. Senators Cummins and Works made reports against confirma~ tion.
 Senator Walsh declared in his re- port:
 'The real crime of which this man is guilty is that he has exposed the iniuuities of men in high places in our financial system. He has not stood in awe of the majesty of wealth"
 "An analysis of the evidence has led me irresistably to conclude that the nomination should be rejected says Senator Works. II am greatly Tn sympathy with much of the work that Mr Brandeis has been doing to better economic, industrial and soclal conditions. Much of this I am con- vinced he has done generously, unsel- tishly and for the common good.
 Some of his friends say he is a radical and for that reason had Of tended the conservatives. That may be no reproach. but the temperament that has made him many enemies would detract from his usefulness as q. judge. He is of the material that makes good advocates, reformers and crusaders, but not good or safe judges"

The Climax Of Mathswson's Fame % .
Baseball Pitcher.
We always have believed that the
greatest game that Mathews0n ever
pitched was the eighth and deciding
contest between Boston and New York
in the worlds series Of 1912. He
should have shut the Red Sox out in
that battle, but his team faltered and
broke behind him, and Boston finally
won In ten innings by score Of to 2.
Matty had been the unanimous choice
of his comrades He felt that it might
be the last worlds series game he ever
would pitch, and he put into his work
all the cunning and skill that the years
had given him. In those ten innings
he gave everything he had, and 1t was
a marvellous exhibition Of twirling.
When lie entered the box his step
was springy and his head held high.
He looked almost boyish. When he
left the mound after the game it was
with bent head and tagging feet, but
the Boston crowd stood up in the
stands and cheered, not their team,
which had just won the worlds cham
pionship but the defeated Mathewson.
Hard headed ball players had tears
on their cheeks as they ran to Matty to
throw their arms across his shoulders.
and McGraw hurried across to meet
him from the bench. saying: 1T wasn't
your fault, Matty. You pitched the
greatest game ever New York

When Parasols Began.

Parasols when they first came into

Of a parasol as capable generally Of
sheltering four persons from the sun.

ference the material still remained of
the heaviest. Red velvet parasols,

the regency fashion went to the other

passage of the Rural Credits Act by
the Wilson administration.
Just before departing for Italy re-
Gently, Mr.. Lubin authorized an in
terview of 1000 words In which he
gave his opinion Of those acts Of the
Wilson administration which directly
affect the farmer. This has been fur
nished without cost to every leading
farm paper in the United States. If
the farmer does not read It In his
farm paper 1t will probably be because
the editor does not care to use his
columns for discussion of economic
questions and government policies that
vitality affect the farmer.
MI. Lubin said: "In the application
OF business methods Of distribution.
America, until the present adminlstra-
ton, was about $50 years behind Ger.
many and several decades behind the
rest Of Europe. And yet In the very
thing in which America Is backward
she should lead the world. She does
not, because a clique Of special inter
ests dictated public opinion and con-
trolled legislation through the bosses
Of the Republican party. So cleverly
have they worked that the average
man 10 hypnoti1ed. his critical facul.
ties dulled.
"President Wilson is neither fooled
nor led by this crowd. he is tireless,
patient, farseeing. He has historic
sense Of the past, a sympathetic sense
of the present and prophetically
spiritual sense Of the future. While
his head Is above the clouds, his feet
are always upon the earth. He is
idealistic on the one side, on the other
practical. He is . good business man.
"He knows that good politics and
good economics are the same thing.
He Is fearless; in all my relations with
him, direct or indirect fail to nnd
anything or anybody he Is afraid Of"

record over it's so good that criticism
comes close to being nothing more
than cheap fault finding.
"A fool or a coward would have had
the United States in all sorts Of trouble.
AZ il 10, we are at peace, the country
was never more prosperous, and We
have the strength that comes with
honor and integrity Of purpose.
"Wilson has won victories by diplo-
macy that are far more important to
mankind than any victories that we
could have won by war.
"Had we recognized Huerta it would
have served notice upon the world
that the United States, while believing
in democracy for home use, was will.
ing to stand for, despotism where 9TH
er peoples were concerned. President
Wilson's Mexican policy has been wise
and just and courageous.
Belgium? Hindsight! In the light
Of two years it's easy to say what
should have been done. But at the
time not single paper or q public
man even thought Of anything but
keeping the United States out Of the
European horror.
Tariff? There's another proof OF
Wilson's openness of mind. No matter
what he thought about the Underwood
law, he had the courage to admit that
the European war had returned the
tariff to the province Of discussion.
So he came to the front with his prop
osition for tariff commission. That's
sense. The tariff is a scientific affair,
not political at all. A tariff commits
sion will lift the whole business out Of
politics.
"As I said at the start, Il has just
been one big thing after another with
