FOR U. S. SUPREME COURT.
New Jersey Thinks Justice SwayZe May
succeed Justice Brown.

TRENTON, N. j., March 9.-Justice Francis
j. Swayze of the New Jersey Supreme Court
is looked upon by many Jerseymen as the
probable successor of Justice Henry B.
Brown on the bench Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States.
Justice Swayze Is recognized here as one
Of the ablest jurists of the State, and when
the prospective vacancy in the Supreme
Court was announced he was su ggested as
the probable choice Of the New Jersey bar
in case it should be decided that the ap-
pointment should be made from this State.
For many years Jersey men have been
disposed to feel that their State had a
legitimate claim to representation In the
United States Supreme Court. 1t is an
admitted fact that President Harrison
practically assured the late Vice President
Garrett A. Hobart and Gen. Sewell that
he would appoint John W. 0riggs, who
subsequently became Governor OF New
Jersey, and later Attorney-General of the
United States under President Mckinley.
This was in 1893, but President Harrison
was constrained to change his decision on
account. as 1t was then said, of the youthful
appearance OF Mr.. Griggs. Senator Quay
used his influence in securing the appoint
ment Of Justice Shiras, but Jerseymen
have never ~relinquished the belief that their
State was entitled to consideration.
The retirement of Justice Shiras, followed
as it was by the appointment of Oliver
Wendell Holmes of Massachusetts,, left the
third circuit, consisting Of Pennsylvania
New Jersey and Delaware, without a repre-
sentative on the Supreme Court bench.
The last member of the our from this
State was Justice Joseph B. Bradley of
Newark, who was appointed in 1877.
Justice Swayze is a graduate Of Harvard
University in the class Of 70, being one
year ahead Of President Roosevelt in the
University. He was formerly a Circuit

BOYS IN FIGHT: ONE DEAD.
Arrest Of n Man Who Separated Them and
Kicked One or Them.

The police of the Bedford avenue station,
Brooklyn, arrested last night Emil Boil Of
500 South Second street and George Barnes,
an eleven-year-old boy, chargin & them
with homicide. Herbert Samuels, IL years
old, a pupil of Public School 10, gave the
police information which led them to be-
lieve that Boil and the Barnes boy caused
the death OF Andrew Arthur Quinn, the
twelve-year-old son OF a tea and coffee
dealer OF Williamsburg.
The Quinn boy and George Barnes, ao-
cording to the story the polics got. had a
dispute after school a week ago yesterday,
and got into a fight at South Third and
Rodney streets. A man came along who
separated the boys. He kicked the Quinn
boy in the right side. The boy fell and
suffered conclusion of the brain, from which
he died Thursday night.
Yesterday the police learned from Herbert
Samuels, who was present when the fight
took place bet sen the Quinn and Barnes
boys, that Boil was the man who separated
them and who kicked young Quinn. Boil
denied that he was present.

motor cars for tk3 use Of the Cook ex-
pedition, which will go in search Of the
South Pole in the summer of 1907, are being

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme

set up claim to all the property of Edward

The picture was removed by Stokes to
his private residence when he sold out his
interest in the hotel, and on his death it was
stored with other articles in a warehouse.
The Hoffman House corporation sued the
warehouse and Mrs. Barley, alleging that
the picture belonged to the hotel and should
not nave been removed. Judgment to this
effect was rendered after a trial in the
Supreme Court. This Judgment the APP

Stokes had always considered the painting

There was a row in Columbia 8 gym

Columbia Harvard basketball game that
resembled not a little the fight on the foot
ball field in the Columbia Wesleyan foot
ball game last fall at American League
Park.
In tho last few moments of the second
half Quigley, the left forward of the Har-
vard team, punched Cuthell of Columbia.
who played opposite him, a savage blow
under the jaw. Cuthell was laid PROSTATE
by the blow. He b a little man and was
quite knocked out. He did not come to
for nearly five minutes.
Cries arose from the spectators, but
Referee Lochmuller did not see the foul.
A lot Of the persons who were watching
the game rushed out on the floor to deal out
summary justice to the Harvard man.
The Harvard sympathizers who we're there
joined in the hue and cry, and in a few
seconds there was a struggling, punching
mass On the floor.
The university p~roctors at once jumped
into the fray, and with their assistance
things were quieted down a bit. Quigby
did not suffer much from the jostling o1fhe
crowd about him. Cuthell was csTied
from the floor and Fettretch. snother
Columbia player, took his place for the
few moments left.
Earlier in the game the referee caught
QuigIey roughing CuthelI and ordered him
from the floor. Quigley said that he did
not mean to do it and at the pleading of
Capt. Hurley Of Columbia he was permitted
to remain in the game. 1t a the last game

Secretary of the American Embassy here,
introduced them. Their friendship after
ward developed in fox hunting in Warwick
shire, where Mrs. Shaw has a hunting box at

There Is considerable speculation regard
ing the attitude of young Astor's father.
1t is noteworthy that his newspaper the
Pail Mall GdFette, does not announce the
engagement, as IL did in the case OF Capt.
Spender-Clay and Miss Pauline Aston. This
fact, taken in connection with current re-
ports, is regarded as indicating that he
does not approve Of 1t. Thu date and place
of the marriage have not yet been learned.
