HOLMES EOR JUDGE
MASSACHUSETTS MAN NAMED

llI-Health Induces Jurist to Give Up
Position He Has Held for Twenty
one Years-Appointee Son Of the
Late Dr.. Holmes.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 12-Presi-
dent Roosevelt late yesterday after
noon announced that he had appointed
Hon. Oliver Wendell Holmes, chief
justice of the supreme court of Mas
sachusetts, to be an associate justice
of the supreme court of the United
States, vice Justice Gray, resigned
The resignation of Justice Cray was
due to i'll health. Several month.
ago he suffered a stroke OF apoplexy
which some time later was followed
by another. He has not appeared OH
the bench since he was stricken the
first time. His advanced age-seveu-
ty-four years-told against his recoy-
cry with serious force. Realizing that
he proba bly, never would be able
again to assume the place which ne
SO long had filled with ability and
honor, he decided a short time ago to
tender his resignation to the presi-
dent. With the exception of Justice
Harlan, he served on the bench of the
United States supreme court longer
than any of his present colleagues
He was appointed an associate justice
w iiCoiuSAI OH Leu 10, 1901,
his service extending therefore
through a period of nearly twenty-one
years.
Justice Gray has been at Nahant
Mass, his summer home, for some
time. During his long career on the
bench of the supreme court Justice
Gray delivered a number of important
opinions. His speciality was will cases,
although he participated. in the de-
cision of many important cases before
the court. Justice Gray was with
the majority of the court in the de
cisions in the income tax case and the
insular cases. Justice Gray was al
ways an ardent Republican His sue
cessor, it is said, will not take his
place on the bench until after his con-
firmation by tha senate. This is the
unwritten practice in the case of ap-
pointments to the supreme court
Judge Holmes. whom the president
has selected as Mr. Justice Gray's
successor. is one of the most distin-
guished lawyers and iurists of Mas
sachusetts. His career on the bench.
particularly as chief justice OF the
Massachusetts supreme court. has at
tracted wide attention. Like Justice
Gray, he is a native of Massachusetts.
He is a son and namesake of the late
DR.. Holmes, the poet and essayist.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. S.-When the
sheriff, with the body of Harry Tracy,
drove through Davenport, hundreds OF
people followed up and crowded
about the wagon. By the time the
wagon reached the morgue the streets
were crowded and from every corner
could be heard "Three cheers for Liz.
coin county"
The town was wild. The morgne
doors had to be closed. Several per
sons were allowed to see the body and
then trouble began. Everyone wanted
q relic, and in short time nothing
was left but the body Someone even
picked up the blood-stalned handker
chief which had been used by Tracy
to keep from bleeding to death.
Many locks of the dead mans hall
were carried away and in many places
his head had been made bald. His
trousers We're cut into strips and be-
fore they were divided they were cut
into smaller pieces. Many of Tracy's
cartridges were divided among the
members of the posse and those that
could get at the buckskin bag.
1t is probable that the s4,10o re
ward for Tracy's body win not be
paid for some time, owing to the
number of claimants.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Orders have
been issued by the navy department
providing for visit of the United
States steamship Adams to Wake isl
and and the Midway islands, belong
ing to the United States, in the Pacific
ocean. This action has been deter
mined upon as a result of a recent
communication received at the navy
department from the master of the
transport Buford, who reported that
while approaching Wake island in
June last he discovered it inha bited
by party of Japanese. While the
steamship Nero was making survey
of the Pacific for a trans-Pacific cable
in 1899 she discovered the Midway
islands were also inhabited by Japa-
nese, which was somewhat surprising.
as the islands always have belonged
to this government. The Adams will
be in charge of Commander Charles
E. Fox, who will make an investiga-
tion of the circumstances connected
with the case of both Wake island and
the Midway islands, and if it is ascer-
tanned that the japanese have settled
in those islands with the sanction OF
their government with a view of lay
ing the basis for claim of sovereign
ty over them. representations will be
made to Japan on the subject for the
purpose of securing their removal.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Aug. 1.-THE
fourteenth week of the anthracite
miners strike began today. President
Mitchell is authority for the state
ment that the strikers are in good
shape. Contributions to the relief
funds are coming in from many quar-
ters now, and the dissatisfaction
which was first eyinced over the dis
tribution has now disappeared and the
strikers have settled down to what
they believe is going to be a much
longer siege than was first antici-
pated. A general review of the whole
strike region shows that unless the
operators can break the ranks of the
strikers by starting up colliery here
and there the men will be inclined to
remain out, for some time to come
The amount of relief to be distributed
will not satisfy all. but the miners
seem willing to make some sacrifices
in that direction in the hope that
eventually they will win.
A $4,000 contribution. from the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen is
expected by the strikers within the
next ten days. It is said four hundred
lodges will contribute $50 each
Other railway brotherhoods are ex-
pected to follow suit.
