Judge Lurton Mentioned
for the Supreme Bench

WASHINGTON, oct. &.-The vacancy on
the bench Of the supreme court Of the
United States caused by the death Of Assoc
clate Justice Rufus w. Peckham OF New
York is the subject OF most of the gossip
in Washington just now. 1t is, popularity
speaking, the most important matter which
will confront President Taft upon his re-
turn to the national capital.
The latest ''fIame-up'' OF well-informed
prophets here tonight names Horace H.
Lurton OF Nashville, judge Of the United
States circuit court in the Sixth circuit,
as most probably Justice Peckham's sue
cessor, with Solicitor General Lloyd W.
Bowers of the Department Of Justice as the
probability for the next vacancy in the
court. Mr.. Bowers is thought by many
to stand a very good chance Of getting
this one.
Judge Lurton sat on the same judicial
bench with Mr.. Taft and was the latter's
choice for the vacancy that was later
filled by the appointment of william H.
Moody OF Massachusetts,. Mr.. Taft was
secretary OF war when he made the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Lurton to President
Roosevelt, and was, it is said. very much
disappointed when his old associate and
intimate friend was not appointed. Mr..
Lurton is now about 60 years old and
would have ten years to serve before re-
tirement.
President Taft has in the past expressed
some decided views about geographical

Barnard Tells Number Of Audiences
He is Not an Advocate Of Dis
regard Of Law.

NEW YORK. oct. @.-with New York's
municipal election only three working days
distant, there was a general summing up
OF Issues tonight by the 500 speakers who
presented the causes OF Gaynor. Barnard
and Hearst to audiences In every corner
OF Greater New York, Gaynor. speaking
four times TO audiences in Brooklyn, Man
haitian and the Bronx, returned to his plea
for greater personal liberty, the abolition
OF police "czarship" and liberality in the
enforcement OF mlno laws.
Barnard. the republican candidate, told
seven mass meetings in New York and
Brooklyn that he stood first. last and all
the time for a business administration in a
Tammany-free city Incidentally, how
ever, the republican candidate took up the
eudgels with Mr.. Gaynor on the personal
liberty question. Il do not come before
you to recommend the violation of laws or
to countenance the violation OF laws, and
II personal liberty means any such thing
as the overriding OF law, 1 am firm against
that. I am no crank and 1 stand for no
oppression or refinement OF %puritanism. II
I am elected mayor. 1 want It understood
that people OF all creeds, races, colors or
political beliefs must alike observe the
Iaws-but that these will be enforced not
Oppressively, but with sympathy and toler-
alton.
Beware the candidate who tells you
that he will not enforce the laws. He is a
dangerous demagogue, and his position in
this matter is bound to lead to graft Of the
worst and most widespread character"
Hearst, the third candidate for the may
orally, was silent tonight, but his follow
ers, in ten mass meetings, kept the fires
burning. At each meeting a long banner
which hung above the stage, bearing the
words, down with the bosses Of both
parties" furnished the text for the speak
ers.
The campaign managers for all three
candidates again expressed their confidence
today in the result of the election. There
was evidence, however, that the leaders
believe that the race is closer than their
forecasts would indicate. In all three
camps It was announced that the speech
making and campaigning would continue
practically up to the opening Of the polls
at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning.

GARDEN CITY, L. l., oct. @.-The
twenty-siX cars entered In the triple auto
mobile race to be run over the Vanderbilt
cup course for the Vanderbilt, Mhssapequa
and Wheatley Hills trophies. were weighed
In here today by Fred J. Wagner, the vet
eran race umpire and starter.
The cars are divided into four classes and
are TO race all together, but for three diff
ferent distances. The smaller cars, entered
for the Massapequa sweepstakes, weighed
In at 100 pounds and over. The cars In
this class will be sent away first at 9
O'Clock tomorrow morning and will be
called upon to make ten round OF the
circuit, or 1850 miles.
The cars IN the next class, the Wheatley
Hills sweepstakes, will be started i'm
mediately on the heels OF the Massapequa
entries, but will continue on the circuit for
an additional five rounds, covering fifteen
laps, or 1880 miles I'm all. These cars
were called upon TO exceed 1880 pounds In
weight.
The third squadron to be sent away is
the one in which the chief interest OF the
motoring public centers. This company is
made up OF the sixteen high-powered cars
which are contenders for the Vanderbilt

things are equal. This is his present atti-
tude as described by those who have been
in a position to know.
Looked at from the geographical stand
point. there are some inequalities In AcB-
resentatlon on the supreme court. Judge
Peckham's death leaves three Of the judi-
cial circuits unrepresented on the supreme
oourt-the second circuit comprising New
York, Connecticut and Vermont; The Dhird
circuit comprising Pennsylvania, NV Jer-
sey and elaware and the fourth circuit
comprising Maryland, Virginia and the
Carolinas and West Virginia. Both JUS
tIces Moody and Holmes are from the first
circuit and Justices Day and Harlan from
the SIXTH, in which Judge Lurton is now
presiding. Chief Justice Fuller lie from the
seventh circuit, Justice Brewer from the
eighth and Justice McKennR from the
ninth.
Solicitor General Bowers is generally
given second place in the speculation. He

the DOCTOR AND
HIS MORNING MAIL
II Is a Great Pleasure to Open Dozens
of Letters from Grateful
Patients
TELLING OF GREAT IMPROVEMENT
United Doctors Receive Many Such
Letters. Hundreds Of Testi-
monials Come by Mail.

There is a certain pleasure and feeling
of expectancy which anyone feels upon
opening a letter. Whether 1t Is a love
letter. a friends letter. or a business let
ter-it is always eagerly opened.
The mall which comes TO the United
Doctors, those great medical specialists
who nave their Omaha Institute at zoe
Neville block, is perhaps the most inter-
esting and wholly pleasant stack OF let
tiers that comes to any address in the
city. The United Doctors mail consists
almost wholly OF letters OF praise and
commentator from cured patients, or pa
tients who are getting we'll and write TO
tell how much better they are feeling. II
contains letters from women, letters from
men, letters from fathers. mothers, bust
ness men. farmers, lawyers and from
persons OF all ages and all walks in life.
But the theme Is always the same-"I
am so much better'-"God bless you.
doetors"-"You saved my life n made
it worth living"
one reason why the United Doctors al
ways cure their patients Is that they are
very careful 70 never treat an incurable
case-thus their record OF cures is always
clear and they take no money from in
eurables as Is the custom Of many doc
tors. The new treatment used by these
specialists cures many who could not
even be helped by ordinary drugs. A fair
sample OF the hundreds Of testimonials
received by the United Doctors is the fol-
lowing:

TAKING OUT THE SUCKER FIsE
Fred Evans IL Doing Good Work Al
Carter Lake.

Fred Evans is representing the Omaha
Rod and Gun club while the big seine is
working at Carter lake; Permission has
been obtained from the fish commissioners
OF Iowa and Nebraska to take out the
buffalo and carp from the lake and Mr..
Evans has the job Of watching that all
game fish are put back into the lake
About LOCO pounds of buffalo and carp are
taken from the lake each day and all
bass, crapples and sun fish are thrown
back. During the week when the seine
has been working, 500 pounds of the dis
pissed gar have been taken from the waters.
Gar. buffalo and carp are deadly enemies
OF bass and crappies. They are sucker fish
and live on the spawn OF the game fish
and thus keep down the natural increase.
The men are working with a COO foot net.
When the four men who are operating
the net first appeared, officers OF the
Omaha Rod and Gun club had them arrested
for illegal seining. When they showed they
had authority from the fish commissioners
OF Iowa to take out the carp and buffalo
and when they consented to have a repre-
sentative of the club with them at all times
to see that they did not interfere with the
game fish, the case was dismissed. The
nets are guarded and kept at the boat
house OF the Omaha Rod and Gun club and
never leaves the club unless Mr.. Evans Is

PSYCHOLOGY OF RIGHT TRAINING
Coach Griffith VIII Not Have Nerves
of Men Wrought Up.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Oct. 29.-(speciaL)-
Psychology" This is the simple answer
given by Coach John c. Griffith for not
having his team appear at a big student
mass meeting of the Iowa students tonight
to stir up enthusiasm over the Iowa-Mis-
souri, contest tomorrow.
Coach Griffith fears that the mems
nerves, stirred by the cheering in the audi
torium, will suffer a reaction before the
game, that II will disturb their rest that
night, and that it often creates too much
confidence in their ability.
This year Griffith has started an innova-
ton into Iowa training history. on the
day before the game he insists that the
men think OF everything with the exception
Of foot ball. Anything connected with the
gridiron is a "tabooed'' subject on Fridays.
Complete rest and recreation does more for
a team is the theory Of the Hawkeye coach
and his first test Of the new theory last
week worked wonders with the men. Heavy
signal practice with the regular lineup
working marked last nights practice. The
team will be in fair condition tomorrow.

-Cancelling yesterdays practice game

Injuries in the Ames and Coe contests
have made Roper's task in reshaping the
team all the harder this week. It is now
certain that Hackney, the star drop

and DO the punting, and Bluck Will be
pulled back to place kick when such a
play is feasible. Johnson's chest will not
permit his playing and his right tackle
