Who Charges Him with Guilt
of Infidelity in the Rail-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9--lnyestlga-
tion Of President Wilson's nomina-
tlon Of Louis d. Brandeis, Of Boston,
TO the suprme court bench was begun
Wednesday by Senate sub-commit-
tee. which first heard Clifford Thorne,
chairman Of the Iowa board of rail-
road commissioners, who was assocl.
ated with Mr.. Brandeis In the fignt
against giving the eastern RAILROADS
increased freight rates.
Mr.. Thorne assailed the conduct
of Mr.. Brandeis in that case.
II believe the nominee before this
committee was guilty Of in0delity, OF
breach Of faith and Of unprOfessional
conduct In connection with one OF the
greatest cases Of this generation, !"
said he.
Thorne charged that Brandeis, as
an attorney appearing for the ship
pers, conceded that the rates re-
turned to the railroads was inade-
ouate and that Brandeis In his oral
argument to the Interstate Commerce
Commission conceded that the re-
turns were inconsistent with propri-

MISS BRENNAN
HAS A VERY
LUCKY ESCAPE
From Serious Injury When
Horses Pulling the Waldo
Bus Runs Away.

Pedestrians and storekeepers on
West Main street were treated to n
sight about 10 O'Clock Tues
day morning, when the horses pulling
the Waldo bus ran away down West
Main street with lone passenger
a woman-in the bus. The lone pas
senger, Miss Bert Brannon, daughter
Of Mrs. Annie Brennan, owner of the
st. Charles hotel, luckily escaped any
physical injury. Neither did her
nervous system seem to suffer as a
result of the experience. "Some
rough ride" she said, rs she alighted
from the. bus after the horses had
finally stopped in front Of the home
Of Colonel Henry Raymond on West
Main street. The horses started their
dash at the corner of West Main and
Fourth streets.
The driver Of the bus had alighted
from his seat, and Miss Brennan was
preparing to get out when the horse
became frightened and started run
ming. Miss Brennan was inside the
bus and unable to reach the reins;
thus being powerless to check the
horses mad dash.
At the corner Of West Main and
Sixth streets, the horse ran over the
concrete wall around the yard of the
home Of Marmaduke Wells, damaging
that wall slightly. The horse came
out Of the yard a few feet further
west, and finally stopped in front of
the home of Colonel Henry Raymond.
Persons who witnessed the runaway
marvel that the bus did not turn
over when it went over the concrete
wall.
Miss Brennan was coming from the
Baltimore and Ohio passenger station
to her home at the hotel. Of which
her mother is owner. She had re-
turned on train No. 8 from Boston,
where she had been studying music.

CAUGHT AND FINED

AS proved at the hearing, this dis

creased the business of the retail
merchants at that place.. Also the
money paid out in labor might have

sufficient evidence oNplace him in
the criminal class.

OF the Shredded Wheat Company for
about eight years, and is a clean, moral
type Of young business man, and the
company has absolute confidence in
him; but in justice TO the citizens of

added that in all that time, in his
work from city to city, year after year,
this is the only mayor he has ever
found that has had a sense Of Justice,
truth, and love OF duty. so 'keenly de-
veloped as to place him in the crim-

Dec. l. 1914.
Dear Sir:
"During the last twelve months,
the Clarksburg board of trade mas
been instrumental in locating mere
one wholesale and three industrlal
concerns. When completed and In
operation they will add at least ten
per cent to the population OF tne
community, and have an aggregate
payroll OF at ;east $4,000 for each
working day in the year. 1t is sale
to say that without u board OF trade,
not one OF these concerns would to-
day be located here. Have you
thought of this?
"The board OF trade is now nego-
tiating with a number OF other con-
Germs whose location will, II deter
mined, be of equal Importance with
results already accomplished.
ut is felt that this country Is ap-
preaching a period Of great indus
trial and commercial opportunity,
and with our cheap and abundant
fuel, central location with respect to
markets both east and west, we
should share large in this expected
development 1t is up to us, how
ever, to advertise our advantages
and be alive to our opportunities and
this can best be done through or
ganized effort,
THE board of trade has no income
other than the voluntary subscrip-
tion of those who are interested In
Clarksburg's development. Its fis-
cal year begins on December i, and
it is absolutely necessary to know
in advance whether or not 1t is to
receive the financial support neces-
sary to maintain It's activity. No
business enterprlseis Is successful that
is cot self-supporting and no board
of trade is successful that doe not
receive liberal support from those
who benefit directly from its labors,
