BURKE AN ACTUAL MURDERER.
Evidence Which the Chicago Police
Claim to Possess.

CHICAGO, Aug. THE police authorities
claim to be in possession of evidence which
proves that Burke was one Of the actual mur-
derers of Cronin. At the same time they in
innate that both Burke and Cooney were in
this matter the dupes Of Coughlin and Cough
lin's bosses. They hold, therefore, that he is
not responsible for the murder; that it grew
out of Burke's and Cooney's Irish fanaticism.
A rather startling admission was made by
police captain yesterday. He said: I'VE have
evidence showing that Dan Coughlin was in the
Carlson cottage when DIR. Cronin entered

direct 1t supplies much needed missing

Is SECRETARY NOBLE THE MAN?
Will He Succeed Justice Matthews, and
VIII Mr.. Clarkson Have Portfolio?

1t is stated on authority that ought to be un-
questionable that the President has determined
upon the appointment to the vacant supreme
justiceship and that Secretary Noble has been
chosen for the place.
As stated day or two ago in THE STAR, it
was decided that Attorney General Miller
would not be appointed. Attention was then
turned to Secretary Tracy, but there was objec-
ton to appointing New York man, and more
over, MIR. Tracy was not anxious for the place.
SECRETARY NOBLE THE MAN.
1t is now said to be settled that Secretary
Noble is to be appointed associate justice of the
Supreme Court to succeed the late Justice Mat
thews. This leaves vacancy in the cabinet,
which will be filed by the
APPOINTMENT OF MR.. cLARKsoN,
now first assistant postmaster general The only
part OF the plan that is not definitely settled
is whether Clarkson will go in as Secretary Of
transferred to that place and Clarkson made
Postmaster General.
WOODS VS.. MILLER.
From the first the President has wanted to
appoint Attorney General Miller to the Su-
preme Bench, but this has been opposed by
the powers that control in Indiana, who in
sisted upon the appointment Of Judge Woods
of the circuit court. The President held to his
idea Of appointing Miller until it became ap-
parent that to do so would make breach in
the party in Indiana; or, at least, cause discon-
tent that would amount to the same thing
Only within the past few days was it decided
that Miller should not be appointed.
THE CLARKsoN PROBLEM SOLVED.
The selection of Mr.. Noble not only settles
the controversy over this place, but solves the
problem that has been more or less vexing.
what to do with Mr.. Clarkson's ambition to get
into the cabinet Mr.. Ciarkson's friends have
always held that he was induced to take the
position of assistant only through the UNDER
standing that he was to be promoted after
while. But the men put into the cabinet
seemed SO content to stay there that, except by
such move as the one now decided on, there
appeared but little prospect of a vacancy.
The present plan settles all this
1t is expected that the public announcement
of the new deal will be made ON the Presidents 8
return from Indiana, where he goes ON the 22d.
though it may possibly be delayed until the
meeting of Congress in extra session.
SECRETARY NOBLE DENIES.
Notwithstanding the strong authority for the
statement, Secretary Noble denies that he is to
go on to the Supreme bench, and says that the
report to-day was the first he had heard of it,
