When Director Harry Moore Of the De-

termed the outrage that he ordered the

ylDGSHIP FOR JAMES X. DILL.
Appointed a Member OF New Jersey Court
OF Errors and Appeals.

James b. Dill. the corporation lawyer,
was appointed Judge of the New Jersey
Court of Errors and Appeals yesterday by
Gov, Stokes to succeed Peter Van Voorhees,.
resigned Mr. Dill has accepted and will
be sworn in to-day. The term Of his app
pontment is for six years.
MIR. Dill was selected by Gov. Stokes in
the face of considerable opposition. He
is resident of East Orange and a member
OF the New Jersey bar. but as an active
practitioner has always been regarded as a
New York State man. This, it was said
yesterday, is only the second time in the
history Of the States judiciary that the
Governor has gone outside the ranks OF its
active practitioners for member OF the
highest court. The other appointment was
of the late William Walter Phelps.
Mr.. Dill's appointment also was opposed
strongly by certain corporate interests.
whose representatives would prefer to see a
man less familiar with the ins and outs Of
Jersey corporation law named for the place.
Mr. Dill has done no court work for some
time. 1t is not likely that his appointment
to the Jersey bench will necesstate the en-
tire abandonment OF his practise in this
city, but it will curtail it considerably
As member Of the Court of Errors and
Appeals Mr.. Dill will also be ex officio a
member of the State Board of Pardons.

plQyees from their dress, put the woman
on the car at Sixth avenue and .'ifty-ninth
street. saying she had been hit by car
According to the passengers the men who
put the woman on the car said:
"She lives in Sixteenth street. See that
she gets of there"
DR.. Farr of the hospital found the woman
had fractured skull and terrible bruises
on the head and body. She was taken
unconscious to the hospital and remained
in that stare.
In her pocket slips Of paper were found
showing that she was Margaret McCabe,
a dressmaker of some place in West Twenty
sixth street. She is about so years old
Detectives went to the hospital, but the
woman did not regain consciousness. DR..

Mr.. Roosevelt wants to accomplish any
thing he will devote all his great energy
and all his influence toward bringing about
the end which he has in view.
1t was recalled here to-day by a close
associate Of the President that year ago
Mr. Roosevelt strongly urged Mr.. Root to
accept the Republican nomination for the
.'overnorship OF New York. which he could
have had by merely letting it be known
that he was in a receptive attitude. The
man who spoke of what occurred at that
time said that he knew that Mr.. Roosevelt
then told Mr.. Root that il he would agree
to run for Governor Of his State Mr.. Roose-
welt would give him all his support to Sc
cure the Republican nomination for the
Presidency in 1908. There ia not the sill ht-
est reason to doubt the reliability of the
man who is' responsible for this important
disclosure His reputation is national and
his intimacy with the Administration Ia
such that what he says must be regarded
as Of importance.
The statement was made to-day in an
other reliable quarter that President Roose-
welt was urged by at least one member Of
his Cabinet to secure the services OF Mr..
Root as Secretary Of State even II it were
necessary to allow Mr.. Root to make con-
ditions which the President would probably
not sanction IL they were suggested by any
other man in the country. Whether this
course was recommended to the President
only since Mr.. Hay died or at some prior
period, such as during the absence OF Mr..
Hay abroad when it was reported that he
was so seriously III that he would never be
able to resume his official duties, was not
ascertained. but the additional statement
was made that the President took the
suggestion kindly and indicated his willing
ness to Use every means within his power
to induce Mr.. Root to return to place in the
Cabinet

CHICAGO. July 8.-Mayor Dunno has

zation of a corporation which should build
the system for the city and turn it over to
the municipality. This was one OF two
proposals which the Mayor submitted to
the City Council last night.
This plan, which he calls the contract
plan" provides for the incorporation OF a
company managed by five men, who COM
mand the confidence Of the people Of Chicago
for their personal integrity, their business
ability and their pronounced sympathy
with municipal ownership" 10 this com
pany is to be given a twenty year franchise
covering the streets in which the rights OF
or are about to expire. Stock sufficient to
pay for tho construction and equipment
of 240 mile system is to be issued and
sold at popular subscription. At any time
the city may elect it may take over the
property on an appraised valuation.
An alternative scheme was submitted
to the Aldermen This the Mayor called the
city plan 1t proposed that the city
at once take over the same streets referred
to in the first plan and operate street cars
in them. The Mayor favors the contract
