DEATH OF JUSTICE PEoKHAM
Worked on the Supreme Court of the
United States.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 25.-Rufus w.
Peckham, justice of the United States
supreme court, died at his summer home
at Altamont, Sunday evening. Death
was due to complication of diseases
heart trouble, Bright's disease and
hardening of arteries contributing.
The announcement of the death of
Justice Peckham, while expected, came
as a shock to his associates on the
bench and in official circles.
Justice Peckham was a democrat,
and before taking a seat on the bench
gave considerable attention to politics
in New York. He was born in Albany,
N. Y, November 8, 1888, and had been
on the bench, state and federal, for
20 years. He came from the court of
appeals of his native state.
His chief distinction was that OF
giving his time exclusively to the
duties of the court. He accepted nc
outside appointments and undertook
no work not connected with the higf
tribunal

of Mosier, Ore.
President Taft will formally open
the show by pressing a button in the
White House at Washington, d. c.,
the morning of November IS.
Two Conventions Arranged.
Two big conventions are scheduled in
connection with the show. One called
for November 16 will be attended by
apple growers, apple shippers, refrig
orator car representatives, box manufac-
turers and horticulturists to consider
the Lafean apple package and grading
bill and its probable effect upon the
apple business in the northwest.
Decide Apple Box Standard.
The call for this convention has been
authorized by the state horticultural So
cieties of Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and Montana and its issuance has fol
lowed an agitation which has been go
ing on for years over the apple box
standard and which is now reaching the
point where concerted action is deemed
necessary.
Discuss Lafean Bill.
Advocates of the present standard
northwest box Ga little more than a
Winchester busheD viii urge upon
every one interested the necessity of
placing the merits of the position taken
by the northwest apple men before
representatives in congress and at the
same time an invitation is extended to
advocates of the Lafean bill so that
the matter may be threshed out upon
its merits.
j. l.. Dumas, president of the Wash
ington State Horticultural association,
has been active for years to maintain
the present box, which contains little
more than a Winchester bushel, the
J standard dry measure. 1t is his firm
belief, and this is supported by thou
sands of apple men, that the enactment
of the Lafean bill will prove detri
mental to the fruit industry of the Pa
cific northwest.

pose of adopting resolutions, urging thu
