DORAH AND WORKS
GRILL JAMES HARLAN
Subject Him to Severe Cross
Examination In BrandeIs'
Hearing.

Interstate Commerce Commissioners
James 8. Harlan was drilled sharply
yesterday afternoon when he appeared
before the subcommittee OF the Senate
Judiciary Committee to testify In be-
half OF Louis d. Brandeis.
Mr.. Harlan, who was In charge Of the
5 per cent rate case. defended the course
Of Brandeis in that case. He insisted
that Brandeis was employed not TO rep
resented the shippers. but the public.
He sought to differentiate between the
shippers and the public.
This led to cross-examination by SEN
ators Borah and Works. Senator Borah
read the letter Harlan wrote to Brandeis
In employing him. In this letter. Harlan
said the railroads would fully present
their side, and he asked Brandeis to rep
resent the other side. Undercross-cxami-
a srsna:is Was e%pioyed to get before
the commission all the facts In the
The Commissioner was apparently
unable to convince Senators Borah and
Works that Brandeis was supposed TO
serve In behalf OF railroads as well as
everybody else in this case. They APP
peared to take the view that Brandeis
was. in fact. on the same side as CHI
ford Thorne. who was representing a
large number OF Western State commits
sions. and hence was representing the
public welfare In the matter.
The taking of additional testimony
was closed. The matter Of when vote
will be had in the Judiciary Committee
II still In the air. It Is more than ever
made from the Judiciary Committee.
Opponents OF Brandeis are getting more
and more Of the impression that he VIII
| never be confirmed.

OF bombs We're dropped. A heavy fire
was encountered by all of the ma

GENERAL ObREGON EXPECTED To /
REACH THE BORDER BY THURSDAY
NAVAL RAID and
REVOLUTION ARE
FEATURES OF WAR

LONDON. April 25. 1O:4S p. M
a revolutionary outbreak in ireland,
In which British troops and volunteers
sustained relatively heavy casualties.
and raid by German battle cruiser
squadron on the east coast OF Eng
land in which the raider escaped
after having bombarded Lowestoft and
bit two British cryisers and a de-
stroyer.. are the outstanding features
of the war.
The. German battle cruiser squadron
made its attack on Lowestoft. opening
fire on the coast and killing two men.
one woman and child British light
cruisers. torpedo boat destroyers and
air craft chased the Germans who
put back hastily toward Germany. Two
British cruisers and a destroyer were
hit by the German shells but none
was sunk. Whether the Germans suf.
fered any damage is not known.
Except in Lorraine there has been
an entire absence of infantry tight
ing on the western front The big
guns, however, have continued their
ram OF shells on opposing positions
at various points.
At La Chappellote In Lorraine the
Germans launched a heavy infantry
attack against the French which was
repulsed. Some of the Germans OBJ
tanned footing in portions of the
French salient, but later were driven
out with heavy losses.
Around hill 3Oi and in the region
of Esnes and Cumieres. northwest OF
Nerdun around Moulainville. there
also has been violent bombardment.
In the Argonne the French hay> de-
stroyed with their guns a German
post and shattered a German trench
over small front Considerable
aerial activity by the French airmen
in which four German machines were
brought down is reported by Paris.
On the eastern front near Garbun-
ovka, the Russians made a heavy at
tack against the Germans, but accord
ing To Berlin were repulsed with san
culinary losses. Heavy artillery en-
gagements are still in progress in
the upper Cordevole and Monte San
Michele zones of the Austro-ltalian
front.
The British official communication
from Mesopotamia says the British
are still holding their lines on the
right bank of the Tigris against the
Turks and have somewhat extended
them at one point by driving in the
Turkish pickets
