SENATE UNFRIENDLY TO BRANDEIS AND RUBLEE Rejection Threatened Because of Resentment Against Administration WASHINGTON'. May 12. Tho long smoldering resentment In the Senato ngntnst the Administration's dcflanco of "Senatorial courtesy" In making appoint ments now threatens to cxpreus Itself In a violent revolt ngalnst confirmation of both Louis D. ISrandels to tho Supremo Court and fleorge R Hubleo to tho Fed eral Trado Commission. Canvass of the situation in tho Senato by Senator James Hamilton Lewis, tho Democratic whip, Ii.ih revealed that If the nomination of either Urandols or Hubleo were brought to a vote now both probably would be rejected. He has so repqrted to tho Whlto House. Nearly every Henator"has acquired a pet grievance against tho Administration through Its recognition of Cabinet mem bers' recommendations In patronage dis tribution. Senator Lewis himself Is one of tha latest recruits In tho malcontents' rnnks. The Democratic whip's recommendation on the Chicago postmnstershlp was turned down by the President to make way for ono of Postmaster General Burleson's friends. Other Democratic Senators who have felt the sting of Cabinet preference In patronage aro Gore, of Oklahoma; Hitch cock, of Nebraska: O'Qorman, of New York; Shcppnrd and Culberson, of Texas; Shields and Lea, of Tennessco ; Hardwlck and Smith, of Georgia; Pitman, of Ne vada; Iteed, of Missouri, and Martlnc, of Now Jersey. None of these has openly voiced his opposition to either Brandels or Rublee, but It Is admitted that a num ber of them aro considering voting against confirmation. $300,000 Fire in Sandusky SANDUSKY, O., May 12, -All city flro apparatus was In action, and help wna asked from Toledo to control a liro start ing In tho Carroll livery barn.

Thomas, Roberts, Stevenson Co., Philadelphia, Pa,, ibi.'x.i e. .Li -tb. Police Court Chi'oniclea Most keyholes look alike. Many of therh are stubborn. Even a BObef man frequently hag trouble In exploring their depths. Take an Ordinary normal key hole nnd a drunken man and complica tions are bound to follqw. .loo Dennlg proved this conclusively. Ho started out for a bachelor's dinner In full banquet scenery. In order to get his enthuslnsm nt tha proper pitch ho paused to chat with a few bartenders on tho way to tho banquet hall. The mora he dfanK the more garrulous he became. To say that ho was In argumentative mood, only scratches the surface. t In the course of his stopptng places Joo met another Individual full of argument and tho Ingredients which cause It. Ho nnd Joo chatted Idly over the European war. Of course, they held opposite views. In a short tlmo they reached the map drawing stage. With tho aid of tha cheese and crackers on tho bar Jod showed tho pqsltlon of bno army, while his opponent traced the course of the other with pickles 1U O IF. Sfi and pretzels. Incidentally, they soon had nn Interesting audience. Tlmo flow. At 1 o'clock In tho morning they wcro nowhere neat' half through. They nttempted to finish the argument out on tho street when tho bartender locked up, but ns there were Indications of hostilities right on tho spot far-seeing listeners parted them abruptly. .Too wondered In somewhat dazed fash ion why lie had donned his dross clothes, but couldn't "dopo It out." In a vague wny ho remembered that ha lived near i 1st street- ond Lnncastor avenue. He started In that direction, or at lcnBt thought ho did. A familiar looking door loomed before him nnd Dennis drew his key with an nlr of confldonco nnd a wobbly hand. Ho mado several nttacks on tlo keyhole, but didn't get within a mile of It. A pollccmnn noticed Joo nnd noted that tho houso which he was trying to enter wns for rent. Ho Informed Joo to this effect, but the latter became Indignant. "Nothln' to It," ho replied ; "my people's on za level. Wouldn't play mean trick bo mwln' whilo I wus out, Wouldn' mora anyhow ; zoy own zer house, see. Nothln' to It." Again ha speared for tho keyhole, but It kept dodging out of his wny. Tho cop saw that words wcro useless and took Joo for an Interview before Maglstrato Stovenson. Tho Judgo was glad to see such a woll drcssod prisoner before him. Joe found reason coming back nnd explained that le started for n farewell dinner to a frlond who waB nbout to bo married. Ho ox pressed tho belief, however, that tho friend, wouldn't know whether ha. was really thero or not, ns tho dinner was a thoroughly wot function. After rquch groping through his .head Joe was nblo to nnnounco his address and a policeman guided him to tho correct door, which was opened vory wldo by a determined-looking woman as soon as Joe arrived on tho front step.
