When New Supreme Justices
Nomination Came Up in the
Senate, Senators of Both
Parties Sanctioned It.
HIS RECORD PROVED
TO BE A REVELATION
But the Wisconsin Senator De-
manded That a Ballot Be
Taken-To Be Sworn in on
January Third.

Washington, Dec. 21.-With but one
dissenting vote the nomination of
Judge Horace H. Lurton, of the Unit
ed States Circuit Court of the Sixth
circuit, to be an associate justice Of the
United States Supreme Court. in place
of r ufus w. Peckham, deceased, was
confirmed by the senate in executive
session yesterday afternoon.
The new justice will be ready to take
his seat on the bench Immediately aft
er the holiday recess, the first week in
review the case which may result in
the dissolution of the American Tobac-
co company as a combination in alleg-
ed restraint of trade, and subsequently
the Standard Oil company.
The only senator to vote against the
confirmation of Judge Lurton was MIR.
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, whose radical
ideas are well known.
Immediately after the senate went
into executive session, the unanimous
report of the judiciary committee IA
voring Lurton's confirmation was call
ed up and a motion made for immedi-
ate consideration.
Senators Were Misinformed.
Vice President Sherman put the
question and Senator LaFollette asked
for q vote. 1t was taken. and his was
the only negative, all the other sena-
tors present, republican and democrat
ic. being recorded in the affirmative.
There was momentary apprehension
lest LaFollette would raise the point Of
no quorum. but he realized evidently
that the sentiment was so preponder-
atingly in favor of confirmation that
it would be useless, in SO far as the
final result was concerned. to employ
discretionary tactics.
The citations from Judge Lurton's
various decisions in which he upheld
every feature of the Sherman antitrust
law, and also his opinions. showing his
interest in the welfare of the working
classes, were something Of a revelation
to senators who were previously dis
posed to regard with disfavor Lurton's
appointment and were inclined to op-
pose his confirmation.
AS was stated yesterday, only one
side of the matter had been presented
to the public and the senate. and that
was the view Of those who, for person
al or other reasons. were seeking to
prevent the Tennesseean's elevation to
the supreme bench.
Opposition withdrawn.
The excerpts from the Judges decis.
ions showed that he had been the OBJ
ject of Misrepresentation in respect to
his attitude on the questions of Fed
eral control of corporations and legis-
lation In the interest Of the working
man, and the result was that opposi-
ton to his confirmation quickly disap-
peared
The news of the senate's action on
the nomination was Immediately COM
municated to the president. who ex-
pressed his qualification. and kilograms
we're sent to Judge Lurton.

Copenhagen, Dec. 21.-Data submit
ted by DR.. F. A. Cook to the Univer-
sity of Copenhagen is not sufficient to
prove his claim to the discovery of the
North Pole, according to a, report Of
the commission made to the Consis-
terry today. The report declares that
the documents do not carry conviction
and the records and observations are
entirely insufficient. to warrant a ver-

finding is that DR.. Cook had no orig
inal observations or documents, not
even his famous diary, in evidence.
The decision was reached yesterday

or executive departments of the city.
The communication from the board OF
works, and the tentative franchise
agreed upon by, the board and repre-
sentatives of the gas company. was
read to council last night. but no &C
tion taken, council being of the opin-
ion that it would be useless to even
consider the matter now, as councils
term of existence is too BRIEF
This council has but ten days in
which to serve. There are no more
regular meetings this month. The
councilmen did not care to pass the
ordinance in one meeting. under rules
suspension. or even to consider it and
act on 1t later. at an adjourned meet
ing. 1t felt that by such action. it
would be casting reflection on a very
clean record.
New Officials Present.
There were several councilmen-
elect. who take their oath of office

ing. They heard the report of the
board of works. and also the tentative
franchise agreement. The new coun-
Gil will consider the matter at its first

The farewell gathering of the pres
ent administration which was a sort
of an impromptu banquet at the old
South End hose house. at Sixth and
South E streets, last evening, after
the adjournment Of council. was a de-
cided success in every particular. The
promoters of the affair were Matt
Won Pein and Bert Engelbert, but all
of the city officials were asked to
contribute to the spread. Perhaps the
nature of the blowout" Of the City
Fathers will be more clearly under
stood when it is announced that the
banquet was really an elaborate
Dutch lunch. For those who are
acquainted with the Dutch lunch no
explanation is necessary but for the
benefit of secluded few. let it be
said that the mere name implies a
distinction from the plain ordinary
lunch. There were pickles. olives.

by the way, did you ever notice how
dry turkey meat is, especially with
rye bread?
SehiIIinger Presided.
Mayor Schillinger acted as toast
master for the occasion. Thomas J..
Study was called upon to respond to
the toast, How shall the next City
Attorney act in office" During the
course of his remarks Mr. Study dwelt
at length upon his record as city at
torney and gave out the inference that
IL the next city attorney established
a record equally as good, she thought
everybody would be satisfied He
stated that Notwithstanding the TACT
that the present city council was all
republican and the majority of the
board Of works was democratic. the
relations between these two bodies
had always been most friendly and
graft" was thing unknown during
this administration. Mr.. Study stated
that Richmond was rapidly gaining a
reputation for itself and Was regarded
by visitors as one Of the most beauti-
full cities in this section Of the coun-
try. He recommended the purchase
of a stone quarry by the city, declar-
ing that 1t would be one Of the best
investments the city could make"
Henry Deuker. the veteran council
man. stated that Mr.. Study had cover

Of entire success and the eveaing was
thoroughly enjoyed.

who examined the condition OF the
Richmond City Water Works, and its
