BRANDEIS APPOINTED TO
THE SUPREME BENCH

Washington, Jan. 2S.-President
Wilson to-day selected Louis ID.
Brandeis, of Boston, to be Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court to
succeed the late Justice Lamar. Mr..
Brandeis' nomination went to the
Senate to-day. 1t was a surpriZe
everywhere in official circles. Mr..
Brandeis had not even been men
toned for the vacancy.
Mr.. Brandeis is a lawyer who has
been much in public life during the
last three years, not only in legal
work but in various movements
for social betterment. He is a Ken
tuckian by birth and is 60 years old.
He was born and educated in Louis
VILE and later at Harvard Universe
ty, and in 1878 began practicing law
in Boston.
He came most notably before the
public as a national figure six years
ago through his participation in the
celebrated Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
gaticn in Congress, in which he was
counsel for the forces which were
opposed to Secretary Ballinger and
sought his removal from Office.

BIG SUM Is OFFERED
FOR NEW Works. CARRIAGE

New York, Jan. S1.-The war
and the resultant demand for nitro.
glycerine are given as the reas0ls
for a legal contest which has begun
here for a contract to remove the
garbage of New York City.
Although the city has paid S3,-
100000 in 10 years for the removal
of its garbage, a company now offers
the city 100000 for that privilege
for five years.
Counsel for the new bidder eX-
planned why the garbage had sud-
denly become so valuable by saying
that the product of garbage. after
being treated with steam, is grease,
the value of which at present is
high. From this grease. he said,
comes glycerine, from which is
made nitro-glycerine.

FIRE RACES IN NINE
MORE THAN 90 YEARS

Lansford, Pa, Jan. 31.-The IA
nous mine fire, which has been rag
Ing now for more than sixty years,
and which started at Summit hill
near the spot where Phillip Ginter
discovered anthracite coal in 1871,
has burned through the immense
concrete wall which the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company sank in
front of it, deep down into the earth,
several years ago, at a cost of more
than a million dollars. 1t is now
threatening the mammoth vein in
the Panther Creek valley, the larg-
est and richest vein of anthracite in
the world.
The wall, which was sunk into the
ground to a depth of 100 feet, was
fifteen feet thick, of solid concrete,
and experts believed that the subter-
ranean fire would never eat through
it, but that it would prevent it from
spreading any further and eventually
extinguish it. The fact that the
flames have eaten through this huge
barrier has caused grave fears
among the Lehigh. Coal and Naviga-
ton officials who are now putting
forth every possible effort to prevent
the fire from getting into the vast
beds of anthracite in the vicinity.
A large force of men are at work
drilling holes deep into the earth.
and into these openings water and
slush is being poured directly on the
subterranean fire in the hope of pre-
venting a rapid spread. if possible to
extinguish it.
Already this fire has destroyed
millions of dollars worth of coal,
while the sixty-year fight to extin-
guish 1t has cost enormous sums.

placing sandbags along its entire
length, and although the embank-
ment held firm, the yellow waters OF
the river rose so rapidly that the
forces of workmen could not build
up the dixie fast enough.
Early this morning the waters of
the Mississippi river were entering
business section of Hickman, which
is on considerably higher ground
than inundated West Hickman,
which, save for q few factories in
the shelter of the levee, is a resi-
Dental section.
The Cincinnati, Memphis and Gulf
railroad depot and tracks for a dis
lance of two miles are under water,
while the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis railroad stops a mile
outside of the city.
The water went over the levee in
1912 and 1913 and this year there
are four feet more water than in
1913, when West Hickman was
flooded.
The factories under water are the
Mengel Box Company and various
cotton plants, employing about 500
men, all of whom will be out of
work for two or three weeks. The
families who have been driven from
their homes are without means and
have provisions only to last them for
a short while. Many are sleeping
in tents and warehouses.
Desperate efforts were made to
hold the water from coming over the
levee, but the raging Mississippi rose
so fast that the efforts of several
hundred workers were powerless.

CONDITION OF JEWS IN
EUROPE Is APPALLING

New York, Jan. 31.-That the
condition of the Jews in the Eastern
war zone of Europe is appalling is
the burden of a report issued to-day
by the American Jewish Relief Com
mittee. |. w. Bernheim, of Louis
vile, is a member of the Executive
Committee of the Relief Committee.
The report indicates that the -
100000 Jews affected-who consti-
tute one-half of the Jewish popula-
ton of the world-have by reason of
their unfortunate geographic posi-
tion actually borne the brunt of the
wars burden in Eastern Europe.
Nearly 100000 Jews, the report
says, are now facing restitution,
their homes having been pillaged
and destroyed, their industries and
trades ruined and the entire fabric
of their economic life torn asunder.
Hundreds of thousands, it is said,
were forced to leave their homes at
a days notice. among them even the
immediate families of the 100000
Jewish soldiers at the Russian battle
front.
"The more fortunate of these, :"
continues the report, "were packed
and shipped as freight-old men.

err with the sick and the insane in

starvation"

German machine guns by knocking
the front line of the enemy to pieces.
The opposing lines Were so close that
all the French front trenches were
now evacuated. except for one Lieu

telephone to direct the fire.
The hail of the French guns be-
gan, and after a few minutes the
Lieutenant phoned: Shorten range
by 20 yards" AS the range was ov-
er $500 yards the officer of the bat
terry asked the Lieutenant If the
range could be shortened without
danger to the Lieutenant. The lat

in the German trenches"
"All right" replied the battery Of

Bryan Opposes Full
Federal Regulation
Of Railroad Traffic

Washington, Dec. 7.-William J.
Bryan appeared today before the
joint congressional committee inves-
tigating transportation problems. He
opposed Capitalization OF power in
thesfederal government in connection
with railroad suggestions for federal
incorporation and the proposal to
lessen the power of state railroad
commissions by lodging greater
power of regulation in the Interstate
Commerce commission.
Mr.. Bryan declared his opposition
was based on the belief that to trans,
Ter regulatory power to Washington
would impose an impossible burden
on the authorities here, inject trc-
mendous political force into national
affairs which would enter into cleo
tlons to congress and would be a
most decided step i'll Capitalization
OF government.
As counter proposal Mr. Bryan
suggested existing law be amended
to give the national government full
power to regulate Tailroads and still
permit the states to exercise their
regulatory powers,
Speaking of government owner
ship, Mr.. Bryan said he had for a
number of years believed it inevita-
Bile and only because the railroads
will never consent to effective regu-
lation."
He spoke for federal supervision
OF security issues and believed there
should be legislation to insure divi-
dends sufficient to keep stocks at par
and provide surplus fund for lean
years. Before such a measure was
passed, however, he said, capitaliza-
ton should be reduced TO all honest
basis where it represents the actual
physical property In some financial
operations, Mr.. Bryan said the Kail-
roads had been guilty Of things dis
creditablc to an ordinary highway
robber"
Mr. Bryan was cross-eXamined
briefly by members OF, the committee
and will return later for further ex-
animation
