BIG PLUMS WAIT TO DROP.
President Has a Number to Dis

ReuCh

Bench.
Washington. Aug. 21.-President
Roosevelt has several nice juicy Of
fetal plums put away in cold storage
for distribution among his friends. The
tap, judgeship on the Supreme bench.
as soon as Mr.. Justice Shiras retires,
in addition to several United States
judgeships in other courts.
Just now the political gossips are
trying to place Attorney General Knox
on the Supreme bench in place of JUS
tice Shiras, although the latter does
not retire until some time next year.
Intimate friends of the clever little
Attorney General declare he has no de-
sire or inclination in the direction of
the Supreme bench. Should ne retire
from the cabinet, as is not AN impos-
sibility. he will resume his law prac-
tice. perhaps in Washington.
He is fond of Washington life and
he is easily the most popular member
of the Presidents cabinet from a So
cial standpoint. Occa sionally the re-
port is revived that he is weary of the
routine work of the Department of
Justice, and intends to iesign. There
appears to be no foundation for such
statement, as the President is more
than anxious to have General Knox re-
main member of his ofiliacl family.
During all the gossip and speculation
about possible changes in the Supreme
Court, not a word has been heard from
the friends of Mr.. Justice Gray as to
his change of vote on the income tax
case. 1t seems cruel to send Mr.. Jus
tice Shiras into retirement with the
charge of having changed his vote on
that memorable occasion, when his
living associates know that he never
once wavered in his opinion that the
income tax was unconstitutional He
has been appealed to by his friends to
make public statement placing the
responsibility where it properly be-
longs, but he simply says that it is for
the judge who changed ais vote to ex-

SPACIOUS PLEA FOR TRUST.
Eustis Wanted Thurber's Address
Expunged From Minutes.

st. Paul, Aug. 21.-Seattle was Sc
lected tonight as the city in which
will be held the next session of the
trans Mississippi Congress, in 1903
New Orleans was the only other cam
didate for the honor of entertaining
the congress.
The feature of to-day's session was
the animated discussion of the resolu-
ton introduced yesterday by w. H.
Eustis of Minneapolis, demanding that
the address of F.. B. Thurber of New
York, which Mr.. Eustis resolution de-
clared was specious plea in behalf of
the beef trust be eliminated from the
records of the congress.
After much discussion, which at
times became rather personal, Mr..
Eustis withdrew his resolution, de-
claring it's purpose accomplished, as
the discussion upon it's merits would
be embodied in the minutes of the
congress, and in this way the public
would be able to see that great por-
ton of its members did not favor
trusts
