bloomer girls wouldn't play unless an
admission was charged. hence a price
of 10 cents was charged which netted
the players a neat sum. The game was
won by the Lumberjacks by score OF

Friends of Mr.. Brandeis are speeulat-

as late as Wednesday afternoon, the day
President Wilson went to New York, he
not only had no idea that he would be
considered for the place of Justice La
mar, but pooh-poohed it in about so
many words Mr.. Brandeis, his friends
say, looked with disfavor upon a cabinet
position three years ago, believing that
as member of the presidents family
his activities would be circumscribed and
he could render much less service to the
administration than il he remained
free lance. A position on the bench he
regarded then as still more hampering,
especially as one of his radical views
win be in minority in the court. These
certainly were the private views of Mr..
Brandeis as expressed a very short time
ago, although under the circumstances,
it would be hardly fair to Mr. Brandeis
to set them forth as representing his
personal view of his own nomination.

MANN AGAIN URGES
NATION TO PREPARE
Republican Leader Suggests That Demo-
Gratis Hear President Wilson's
Speeches for Defense.

Washington, Jan. Representative
James r. Mann of Illinois, Republican
leader of the House, took occasion again
yesterday to urge preparedness and TO
reply to the anti-preparedness remarks
OF Representative Dies of Texas, who
had just spoken. Mr., Mann said that it
made no difference to him whether he
had changed his mind since last year,
because ''we must determine the facts as
they stand, since we are in position
where some determination must be made.
If we are in position which calls upon
us to prepare against invasion, then we
must prepare"
Mr.. Mann declared that when the war
first broke out, he thought that it would
not last long, and that he hoped and
believed that it would soon be over. To-
day, however, there is no prospect of
peace he said, and that being the case,
there is always an advantage TO one
side or the other TO involve the other
countries in the struggle. He declared
that he had warned the United States
TO be strictly neutral last year, as there
would be many temptations for taking
sides.
The events have proved. according TO
Mr.. Mann, that there are still those who |
viii never believe a fact until it is his |
tory, and against such people Mr.. Mann /
urged caution.
He hit the Democrats who had opposed 4
and said that since their 4
own president was going about the coun
try presenting his side of the case, the
Democratic members should hear il be-
lore they attack him. The wise Amer
can, he said, viii view the situation as
{ Is, and win meet il and place the
United States in position where it win
'e protected from an attack by any for
ign foe.

COTTON GOODS TRADE GONE.
Japanese Have Completely Captured
American Trade in China.

| Washington, Jan. 2o.--Japanese man
ufacturers have captured the American
cotton goods TRACE in China SO com
tpletely, says department of commerc,
report, issued yesterday that all hop,
of renewed American business lies in
an entire change of the class of goods
manufactured for Oriental export.
Ten years, the report declares, has
seen American cotton goods sales dwin-
die in China as the japanese business
grew. Now American mills, it says
hopelessly distanced by the japanese IL
Their must extend their trade by selling
another class of goods at the expense on
England or dismiss hopes for further
Chinese business.
The report was prepared by Ralph M.
Odell, textile expert of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, after
six months investigation in China.
Increasing cost of production in Eng
land because of the war, the report SAYS,
has created an opportunity for Ameri-
can mills TO introduce into China lines
of cotton goods there heretofore have
nv Soius A1HetllHEH ana uIHiS. FORMER
ly sold, must be left to the japanese
and TO new Chinese mills built and
building. China tor many years has
been the largest market for cotton
goods in the world
Tables contained in the report show
that from 1902 to 1913, eleven years, the
japanese cotton goods trade in China
increased nearly nine times, while the
American trade dropped to one-third
what il had been Reasons for this as
given in the report are better selling and
methods introduced by the
Japanese and lower prices for Japanese
goods. American goods, dependent on
quality alone for their sale and with |
no one TO push them. were sold in small !
er quantities. British trade has re-
NAMED stationary.
The japanese began, the report says, I
BY initiating the American product in +
.heaper material. This allowed the Chi
nese dealer wider margin Of profits and 4
gave the consumer a fabric that com
pared wen in appearance with the Amer
can cloth.
In Manchuria. the report SAYS, the
japanese enjoyed special advantages in
'educed rail rates and immunity from
ertain Chinese taxes.

A Doubt as to Possibility of
Favorable Action on
His Appointment
FIRST JEW NAMED
TO SUPREME BENCH
Known as One of the Ablest
Lawyers in United
States

Washington Jan. 29.-The nomination
yesterday of Louis ID. Brandeis of Boston
for justice of the supreme court came
like bolt out of the blue. While Mr..
Brandeis' name has been mentioned in
private conversation as remote posi-
blity, it was distinct surprise to
Washington to learn that the president
has asked him to take a place on the
bench At the moment it is difficult to
predict how the Senate will view this
appointment, for Mr.. Brandeis has been
so active in so many important semi
political controversies that there is GER
tain to be opposition.
Mr.. Brandeis has been in Washington
great deal during the last few years.
He had appeared before numerous con-
gressional committees on legislation re-
lating to the trusts, railroads, labor and
other matters and has in this capacity
made himself persona non grata to the
United Shoe Machinery company, the
New Haven railroad and, incidentally,
the steel trust, of whose manner of con
critic He has also argued cases before
the court of which President Wilson
would make him a member notable
among these being the Oregon eight
hour day for women case. A year ago !
he was here almost continually, being !
regularly employed by the interstate
commerce commission as special counsel i
in the per cent rate case. In the cam
paign of 1912 he actively supported |
Woodrow Wilson.
In Washington and elsewhere Mr..
Brandeis has been regarded as a radical.
He has allied himself with various radi-
cal movements and while to a certain
degree it may be true that he has the
conservatism of his profession, neyerthe
less his nomination will not be reasshr
ing to many well-informed conservatives.
nor, it should be added viii it please all
the radicals.
The view is expressed here that in
nominating Mr.. Brandeis for the SUI
preme court, President Wilson realizes
that his confirmation will be difficult
matter, perhaps an impossible one, but
that, by nominating him, he may draw
together some of the "progressives" in !
the Democratic ranks and elsewhere who |
have been disaffected because Of the sup !
posed conservatism of the administra-
ton. The rejection of Mr.. Brandeis by !
the Senate could by these elements be
ascribed to the Senate alone, and the !
president wiuld therefore be free to nom i
mate candidate who might, perhaps, !;
meet with more widespread approval !

lines is reflected in the comparatively
light losses Of the British during the
