Tennessee JulIst Goes on the
Supreme Bench
NOMINATION SENT TO SENATE j
Appointment Made Over Protest
Of Organized Labor.

Washington. Dec. 13.-The nomina-
ton of Judge Horace H. Lurton, cir.
cult Judge of the Sixth judicial circuit
1t Nashville, Tenn. to be associate
Justice of the supreme court Of the
United States. vice Justice Peckham,
deceased, was sent to tho senate by
President Taft.
Judge Horace Harmon Lurton was
born in Kentucky in 1874 and gradu-
ated from Cumberland university In
1867. He studied law and practiced
until he went on the bench. He was
chancellor of the courts Of the Sixth
division in Tennessee from 1875 to
1878 and from 1886 until 1898 he was
. justice of the supreme court Of Ten
nessee. In 1893 he went on the fed
eral bench. His home is at Nash
vile.
President Taft was himself judge
Of the Sixth circuit at the time he
was appointed governor of the Philip
pines in 1898 and it was association
with Judge Lurton that gave him such
. high opinion of the legal qualifica-
lions of the Tennessee jurist.
Organized Labor Opposed Lurton.
Judge Lurton's appointment was
made over the protests of organized
labor presented by President Com
pers and officials of the Federation of
Labor, who charged Lurton with hav-
ing pro-corporation leanings. 1t was
Judge Lurton who declared the en-
ployers' liability act unconstitutional.
The president nominated George A.
Carpenter of Illinois for United States
district Judge for the Northern district
of Illinois, to succeed the late Judge
Solomon Bethea.
Judge Carpenter is forty-two years
old and was born in Chicago. He is
ut present a member of the superior
bench, having served in that capacity
for three years.
When Judge Carpenters name was
first mentioned for the federal bench
the labor unions Of Chicago sent q
protest to President Taft against his
appointment. They expressed dissat-
! jsfaction with some Of his decisions
involving labor disputes.

NO CHANCE FOR ESCAPE

Emergency Doors Are Nailed Up and
When Police and Firsmen Break

Found in the Passageway-over-
turning Of Lamp During Fight Be-
tween Tenants Cause Of Blaze.
Cincinnati, Dec. 15.-Seven persons
lost their lives, seven others were in
jured. two probably fatally. and fifty
others had narrow escapes from in
slant death in fire which destroyed
q four.story tenement at Third street
and Sycamore.
The fire started on the second floor
OF the building and was due to the
'upsetting of a kerosene lamp during
q quarrel between tenants. The flames
spread rapidly to the stairways and
halls, cutting of escape.
When the sleeping inmates awoke
many rushed to the windows and 9TH
-ers to the roof. The fremen and po-
:licemen rescued many, but other in
mates were too frightened to heed the
cries of rescuers and threw them
selves from the windows. Some of
these were caught in blankets held
below, but others jumped to the side
walk.
On one of the upper floors Of the
building Mrs. Henderson was found
dead clasping her twelve-year-old
daughter Ruth, also dead. The wo'
mans two other children were discov-
cred dead in an adjoining room. The
mother and daughter were almost to-
tally incinerated.
The building was death trap. The
only fire escape was rendered useless
by the flames and the emergency
doors, supposed to lead to safety and
ordered to be kept open by the fire
department, were nailed shut. When
:nremen chopped them down they
found the passageway blocked with
eharred bodies.
