President Wilson today selected Ixiuis D. Brandt-is, of Pio.ston, to be asso iate justice of the supreme court, to succeed the late Justice Lamar. Mr. Brandeis' nomination went to the Senate today. It was a surprise everywhere in official :ircles. " 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 Kentuckian and is sixty years )ld. He was born and educated in Louisville and later at Harvard University, and in 1878 began the ,i . . ractice of law in Boston. He came most noticeably before the public six years ago thru his partici pation in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation in Congress in which he was counsel for the forces op Dosed to Secretary Ballinger and sought his removal. Later he was counsel for the shippers who op- wsed the general increases in freight rates before the Interstate Commerce Commission and, during ,he same period, he was at the forefront of those who were demanding an investigation of financial iffaira of the New Haven Railroad. He also has been at the forefront of the Zionist movement in the United States, and will be the first Jew to sit on the supreme bench. At the beginning of President Wilson's administration, Mr. Brandeis was expected to get a place in the cabinet. Many leaders expected him to le appointed attorney general. Within the hour of the arrival of the nomination in the Senate, there were indications that a vigorous fight would be made against confirmation. Some Democratic senators said they would in quire into Mrs. Brandeis' politics in view of the fact that the court is now composed of two Demo crats and six Republicans. A member of the judiciary committee, to which the nomination will be referred, said there would be the "biggest kind of a fight" against confirmation. mil ii. r, viirri:in:HT I'nliul.'.r in.inlM-r of VVilmton-Hnleill po lli'i. ft. n. who wai rhol nti.l aprloualy wotjtuli'il on Htiti'li.y nfi.-rrtoon, Jim n.iiv M, by Ham llrooka. colored Mr. Whitnh.-art'H . ntiililion In .let nieilly rn-i-iiiiriiKliiK hikI ii l l.'lievp.l that h will l. itl.

Sheetings and drill formerly sold, must be left to the Japanese and to new Chinese mills. China has been the largest market for cotton goods In the world.
