BRANDE|S GAINS
POINT At HEARING
(By United Press Leased wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
Washington, Feb. 16.-Louis D.
President Wilson's nominee
for the supreme court. gained ground
today in the senate subcommittee
hearing as to his fitness for the office.
Under cross-examination, President
winslow Of the United Shoe Machin-
cry company. who had suggested
Brandeis acted In bad faith toward
that concern. could not recollect de-
tails Of his break with Brandeis.
Finally. however. he gave Brandeis
what many regarded as clean slate.
He admitted that Brandeis had in
formed him in 1907 that unless the
terms of the shoe company's leases
were changed. that he (Brandels)
would cease to be attorney for the
company. This, he admitted, hap
pened before Brandeis had attacked
the leases as illegal either before con-
gress or in behalf OF other clients,
and before Brandeis had charged that
the company was a trust.
Challenged to name once when
Brandeis had used information gain
ed as counsel or director of the COM
pany to attack 1t later. Winslow said
that he had told Brandeis secrets
about the leases in 1906; and that
several years later Brandeis appeared
before congress on behalf Of the other
companies. At the same time, how
ever. Winslow admitted that the
leases were public and that Brandeis
did not need inside information con-
cerning them.

NEW UPRISING
THREATENS MEXICO

Washington, Feb. 16.-"Mexico is
seething with threatened uprising,
which needs only strong leadership to
send the Carranza government to OBJ
livion."
This was the dire prediction con-
tained today in semi-official mail in
formation to the state department,
saying that the Carranza govern
ment is crpmbling rapidly. The re-
gime. recognized by the American
government, has lost vast amount
Of ground in the last two months, it
was stated, and appears to be facing
serious financial troubles. The latter
idea was evidenced from the state
ment that many consul and interior
officials are not paid regularly, while
three consuls in the United States are
far in arrears of their Office expenses.

FOREIGN POLICY
OF DEMOCRATS
TO Be ASSA|LED

New York, Feb. 16.-Unmeasured
censure OF the democratic foreign
policy, coupled with criticism Of It's
economic ideas, will be the republi-
can conservatives battle cry in the
coming campaign.
This fact was admitted by repub-
lican leaders today when they recon-
vened for their state convention af-
ter hearing ex-senator Root, as tenn
porary chairman, sound such slogan
last night.
mo flag is dishonored, and no citi-
zenship not worth the claiming in
Mexico, but ours" he said.
OF the policy toward Europe, he
said:
"0ur diplomacy has lost its author
ity and influence because we have
been brave In words and irresolute
in action. We have been blindly
stumbling along the road that. con-
tinued. will lead to inevitable war"
At the same time he criticized the
administration for falling to have
already provided proper prepared
ness for such an outcome.
The fact that the United States did
not protest against violation of Bel
gian neutrality was excoriated. Root
declared the democratic administra-
tion's failure was because Of the pre-
sident's temperament and the fact
that he tried to govern with
club"
Restoration Of the republican
party to power, he said. would result
in moderate but adequate" protec-
tion to American industry; a frank
and fearless and honest dealing II
diplomatic affairs; and "adequat'
preparation by the American people
for their own defense"

New York, Feb. 16.--Fed by in
flammable oils, parafiine and gaso-
line, the steamships Bolton Castle
and Pacific were destroyed early to-
day by FIRE which spread to the
Brooklyn pier SO between them. The
flames at dawn were still eating
through this structure. while Ice
coated firemen coped with them.
Four million dollars damage was
done, but II was learned that there
were no casualties. It had been fear
ed earlier that some men from the
two vessels had perished. This fear
was dissipated, however. when 80
naked men were rescued from q sand
barge.
Authorities set to work today on
the theory that the fire was due to
a bomb plot, Members OF the crew
were gathered for examination. but
little information was forthcoming.
The fire. the worst the Brooklyn
waterfront has known In years, start

fame and smoke rolled above the

FIRES THROUGH THE EAST
Two Ships Are Burned at the Whaves in New York, En-
failing Loss Of Four Million Dollars, While Mysterious
Fires Destroy Buildings at Fall River, Toronto, and
Other Points Along the Atlantic Coast

by the story OF Joseph Johnson, en-
gineer OF the Bolton Castle. He told
OF hearing heavy explosion in the
hold while walking on the forward
deck. Instantly the ship became a
furnace, and the flames quickly
spread to the freight-strewn pier.
johnson leaped overheard and swan
to safety.
twenty-five coolies from the Paci-
iic were missing, along with six sail
ors from the Castle, but they appar-
emily fed home.
While the fire was at its worst, a
fireboat crew, at risk OF their own
lives. drove the vessel alongside the
Pacific and towed away a gasoline
laden lighter on which sparks al
ready were falling.
Another heroic act was the rescue
over q rope bridge by flremen Of more
than so steyedores and their families
sleeping on six lighters near the
burning vessels.
A number OF men jumped over
board and swan to safety from the
scows and lighters surrounding the
two ships. A few smaller vessels
were lgnited.
The Pacific was a 2.661-ton vessel
,,of the Castle line, while the Bolton
Castle was a s.sSs-ton ship OF ths
same line. Both are English, but
had been engaged In the Russian
service recently.
1 One explanation OF the cause o.
the fire was that a short circuit a
the dock campany's ONCE was re
sponsible and that the flames swep
along the 700-foot pier. setting fire
to the steamers while the crew were
asleep.
officials also had under investiga
tlon today strange fire on the oil
laden Holland-American tanker Var
Dyke. which put back to port yester
