N @ DECISION M ADE
SUCCESSOR TO JUSTICE BROWN
NOT CHOSEN.

When asked today concerning the report
that he had beentffered the position on the
Supreme Court bench to be made vacant
by the retirement of Associate Justice
Brown, Secretary Taft said:
" lam authorized by the President to say
that he has made no decision to the Sc
lection of some one to succeed Mr.. Asso-
ciate Justice Brown when he retires from
the Supreme Court. The President has been
In consultation with Secretary Root, Attor-
ney General Moody and myself, three law
yers of the cabinet, and no decision has
been reached in the matter"
AT the White House no announcement
was made today, but 1t was stated positive
ly that no offer has been made TO any one
1t Is we'll known, though, that the Presi-
dent has talked with Secretary Taft At
torney General Moody and some OF the Su-
preme Court justices about the vacancy
on the supreme bench. 1t has likewise
been wei known for years that Secretary
Taft could go on the supreme bench If he
desired and there was question that the
President would gladly give him the Brown
vacancy should he care to leave the cabi-
net. The friends of Secretary Taft who
have been thinking over the matter for
several days, have not believed that he
would accept the position. His ambition is
to become chief justice should Chief JUS
tice Fuller retire, but it is believed he would
not care to be associate judge.

EUGENE RICHTER DEAD.
Radical Leader in German Reichstag
Since It's Foundation.


BERLIN, March 10-Eugene Richter,
radical leader in the reichstag since its
foundation, Bismarck's old opponent. and
a longtime editor of the E'reisinnige
Zeitung, died at o'clock this morning.
Near the close of 1904 Richter suddenly
retired from the Freisnnige Zeitung. which
he founded, and at the same time ceased to
appear at the reichstag. He was then IN fee
BILE health and threatened With the loss OF
his eyesight.
Herr Richter who was enfeebled by an
Illness of two years. and who had been
blind for a year. died of heart failure He

STATEHOOD'S NEXTSTEP
HOUSE WILL NOT TAKE UP THE
QUESTION BEFORE THE 10TH.

The House leaders have decided to stand
pat in defense of the statehood bill as It
was passed by the House originally They
VIII not accept the amendments of the
Senate and will push the bill through the
usual parliamentary proceedings until IL
reaches the conference committee when
the House conferees will insist upon dis
agreeing to the Senate amendments.
1t is said that the House leaders have no
fear of their ability to command sufficient
votes to prevent concurrence in the Senate
amendments, and that the old insurgent
forces will not be as strong as they were
in the first proceedings on the bill.
What effect this stand will have on the
ultimate fate OF the bill can only be con-
tectured at this time. There is declared
tc be no possibility of the Senate yielding
TO joint statehood. and either all legisla-
ton on the subject would seem to be i'm
probable or the House will admit Oklahoma
and Indian Territory.
The question will not be taken up by the
House until the return of the members of
the rivers and harbors committee, who are
making trip of inspection through the
south. These members will not return un-
Ill March 49, Before they left an agreement
was reached that nothing should be done
with statehood until their return.
When the bill comes over from the SEN
ate the program contempiates motion to
disagree and ask for a conference. This
motion will be made by MIR. Hamilton 1t
Is thought that Mr.. Babcock will interpose
a motion to concur in the Senate amend
ments The vote will come on this motion
first and the result of the vote will reveal
the strength of the respective sides.
Those opposing statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico in the House have maintained
all along that II opportunity was given for
a direct vote on the specific question, and
not as was the case on the necessity OF
defeating a rule direct from the Speaker 8
room. that they had plenty of votes to
defeat joint statehood.
