SENATORS HAY FIGHT PURDY
President Turned Down Their Can
didate for Judgeship.
Minnesota SOIons' Selection Was
Too Old, In Opinion OF MIR.
Roosevelt.

The President sent TO the Senate yes
terday the nomination of Milton D. Pur-
dy 10 be United States Judge for the
district OF Minnesota.
Two circumstances lend unusual inter
est 10 the appointment One of these
is that Mr. Purdy is the assistant to the
Attorney General, and as such has been
in charge Of the Federal prosecution OF
corporations under the Sherman and
other antitrust laws since December,
1903
The other matter of special interest in
connection with the nomination is that
it was made against the protest of SEN
ators Nelson and Clapp, of Minnesota,
and may precipitate a bitter fight in the
Senate Committee on the Judiciary. OF
which Mr.. Nelson is a member.
The opposition Of the Minnesota Sen
ators was not based on any hostility 70
Mr.. Purdy. who is. a citizen of Mime
sofa, but was due to the fact that the
Senators had a candidate of their own.
This was w. r. Hale, a Minneapolis
lawyer and president of the Minnesota
Bar Association, who has reached the
age of sixty-thTee years. It was in puT-
suance of his rule not TO appoint &c the
Federal district bench men over fifty
years old. unless under very exceptional
circumstances, that President Roosevelt
persistently refused to appoint Mr. Hale.
The matter has been under considera-
tion for several weeks
After declining to appoint Mr.. Hale
the President asked the Minnesota Sen
ators 10 recommend another candidate OF
candidates, but they firmly refused e
do so. Mr.. Roosevelt then declared that
he would appoint Mr.. Purdy, who IS
only forty-two years old. and whose
record in the prosecution Of Federal anti
trust cases has commended itself TO the
administration.
Whether Senator Nelson. who is known
as a stubborn fighter, will carry his op-
position to Mr.. Purdy into the Judiciary
Committee and to the floor of the Senate
is not known. II has been made clear
that he has no objection TO Mr. Purdy
except such as arises from the fact that
he recommended another candidate foI
the Office.
Mr.. Purdy was United States attorney
for the district of Minnesota during part
Of the administration Of Attorney Genera
Knox, and as such fled the bill in equity
which resulted in the dissolution OF tbs
Northern Securities Company.

JULIUS CAESAR PRESENTED.
O'NeilI Essays Role Of Antony, in
shakekpeare's MnsfernIece-


The S44th anniversary OF the birth OF
William Shakespeare was celebrated at
the Columbia Theater last night by a
performance of Julius Caesar by James
'O'Neill and his company The production
was witnessed by a large audience, with
great attendant enthusiasm
The play is unquestionably the greatest
Of all political dramas. sharing with
Macbeth the verdict Of scholars as
representing the highest attainment Of the
dramatist's art It is perfect in con-
structive form, majestic in lines, and
pregnant with acting possibilities. with in
terest so acute that even being an Oft
repeated tale, it never fails to absorb the
attention, even when handled by actors Of
less than stellar accomplishments.
Mr.. O'Neill appears in the role of Marc
Antony. and naturally the character be-
comes the prominent figure in the present
production. II is a role which eminently
suits the personality and temperament
Of Mr.. ONeill. combining. as IL does. IN
a great degree. the romantic element
with character and tragic possibilities.
His physique and features are such as
70 enable him 70 fulfill the classical re-
quirements as to appearance. while his
voice and power Of defamation find
ample scope IN the speeches put into the
mouth Of Caesars friend.
His Interpretation was impressive
throughout. and especially so in the cele-
brated funeral Grafton. In acting the
part, he was also highly successful. max
ing entirely clear the combination OF in
tellect and craftiness. and the mixture Of
tender emotions and animal passion
which served to make up his sum total
as a man
Another fine Interpretation was that Of
Charles D. Herman, as Brutus. It is
carefully studied and effectively ex-
pressed, disclosing to view talents which
were not visible in his previous delinea-
tions during this engagement.
Cassius was played by Norman Hackett
with fervor. The blunt and irascible
Casca was well portrayed by Joseph
Siaytor His delivery Is forcible, and
tinctured with rich and decided brogUe,
which certainly detracts neither from the
music of voice nor from historical aC-
curacy. as It is 10 be presumed that there
were Irishmen in Rome during Caesars
time. as there has been in every other
part OF the world. before during, and
after.
Mr.. Warren Conlan made a majestic
Caesar. and the insignificant female roles
were filled by Miss Mary Clemment. as
POrtia, and Miss Kate Fletcher, as Cal
purnia.
The play is we'll staged and the usual
acting version used. II will be repeated
at the Saturday matinee, while ''YiT-
ginius" will be repeated tonight, and
Monte Cristo' on Saturday night.

From 20 to 80 per cent more build

port of the secretary, made to the

was brief. 1t was reported by the
officers of the exchange that wage CON
ditions Were apparently satisfactory to
both employers and employees.
The growth of the association in
membership and financial strength was
commented upon by Secretary J. A.
Wilson. 1t has now on hand, above
liabilities, $4,000. The membership
aggregates 52s and six applications are
now listed.
Optimistic expectations, built on the
Improvement of general conditions
were the feature of the report of the
secretary. Not only is building picking
up, but the lowering of lumber prices
to a figure where the material can be
handled with hope of profit for the
contractor, and at the same time rea-
sonable prices for the property owner,
has helped greatly in bringing about
good times. Property values are in
creasing as consequence of these con-
ditions.
