ASSOCIATE JUSTICE FIELD.
He Has Been Longer on the Bench
than Any of His Predecessors.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-To-day marked
the breaking of the record for continuous
service on the supreme bench of the United
States, Associate Justice Stephen ]. Field
having served thirty-four years. five
months and six days, or one day longer
than former Chief Justice Marshall whose
record of service has hitherto been the
longest of all the justices since the estab
lshment of the national tribunal of last
resort. The story that Justice Field would
retire from the bench as soon as he had
completed a term of service greater than
that of Chief Justice Marshall has from
time TO time gained currency, and when
ever this story was put afioat it was ac
companied by the enumeration of several
names of eminent jurists who would be
named to succeed the venerable justice. II
it is the intention Of Justice Field TO re-
tire no one here is definitely informed of it.
He will probably die in harness. Should
he however, retire during the present ad-
ministration reliably-intOrmed gossips seem
to think President Mckinley will appoint
Attorney General McKenna to succeed
Justice Field and fill the vacancy thus
caused in the Cabinet by selecting Judge
Golf of West Virginia. Mr. Justice Field
was appointed by President Lincoln in 1868.

Attorneys Warren III. Bristol and
Charles ,Kleiner were appointed COM
missioners upon the estate of George
E. Somers & Son and on the individual
estate of George e. Somers yesterday
morning.

Mr.. Somers, stated that the insolvent

after a dividend of so per cent. had
been paid. He stated that he was quite
sure that the estate could pay over that
amount.
THE TRACER CASE.
The hearing on the assignment of A..
C. Traeger was held yesterday morn
ing. There was strong opposition to
having James S. Green appointed trus-
tee without a further investigation of
the case. Green was named for the
place by the insolvent.
Mr.. Traeger is now on board steam
err bound for Europe, and it Is alleged
that he Is crazy and could not have
made the assignment.
Ex-Judge David Callahan, who was
last year conservator over Traeger,
arose, and. addressing the court, said
he objected to the assignment.
II have no objection to make against
Mr.. Green" said Judge Callahan, "but
/ do not believe the court should accept
this assignment for the very reason
that believe that Traeger was crazy
when he assigned. He was not re-
| he was doing"
Asked by the court If he had any evil
dence to that effect, Mr.. Callahan re-
piled that he could get it.
| Lawyer William A. Wright car
| see no reason for making that state
| ment The assignment has been made
and it is due to creditors that trustee
be appointed without delay"
Callahan-"You know Traeger's con.
dition as well as I do"
| Wright-"He was not crazy at the
time he made the assignment"
| Lawyer Philip Pond said that If the
case was to be contested it should not
be for long.
| Attorney Wright wanted to know II
Judge Callahan represented any cred
itors, and Mr.. Callahan said that hi
represented claims amounting to about
| 81, 900.
Lawyer H. w. Asher urged that there
be no delay In appointing a trustee, anC
James D. Dewell, jr., representing un
paid employees of Mr.. Traeger, urged
that inquiry be made as to Mr.. Traeg
er's mental condition.
Mr.. Spier, the coal merchant, said HI
believed Mr.. Traeger was insane, ant
wanted the case continued.
Attorney Wright then ventured t.
say that only a small minority Of The
creditors wanted a continuance ant
this reused Lewis Osterweis to stat
that he was the biggest creditor, Traeg
err owing him $4,000 on mortgages. ant
he believed it would be we'll to continue
the hearing until Wednesday.
Osterweis' influence prompted tn,
court to order that the case be contln
ued until Wednesday. at. 10 o'clock, a
which time it Is probable that physi
clans will be examined as to Traeger'
sanity.
