washington, Oct. 26.-Speculation
as to the successor of the late Asso-
ciate Justice Peckham of New York
on the bench of the supreme court of
the United States covers wide range
in the national capital. There are
those who believe that President Taft
will select man residing within the
circuit from which Justice Peckham
came Others were heard to say that
President Taft would select the man
for whom the most pressure would be
brought to bear.
The. presidents peculiar ability for
clicking the best men for the bench is
admitted by all. He has had wide ex-
perience himself on the federal bench,
and before he was pressed into can
didacy for the presidency had set his
heart uDon an appointment to the SUI
preme bench of the United States. He
Inows the qualifications, and no one
expects him to make any mistake in
Lis selection.
The name of Frederick N. Judson of

many who are discussed among the
possibilities. Secretary of War Dick

General Luke E. Wright, all three of
Tennessee, are spoken of as are also

Concerning the Fears of Col

New York, Oct 26.-Halleys comet is
now SO near the earth that it may be
observed in a short time through an
ordinary telescope, according to reports
received from different astronomical
observatories
Although it has been speeding toward
the earth with a tremendous velocity
ever since it was re-discovered on the
night of September II. it is still far too
remote to be seen with the naked eye.
Harvard college observatory has is
sued a bulletin stating that Prof. E. E.
Barnard of the Yerkes observatory OBJ
tained visual observations of it on the
18th and 18th of this month. On these
two dates Prof. Barnard found that the

seconds and while it exhibited no
elongation it was less definite and

Attracting World Wide Attention.
The approach of Ealley's comet IS
attracting the attention not only of as
tronomerS but of the laymen. There
are many ifs in astronomy and from
the diagram it is easy to see that if
the earth should be in the position
marked No. in March instead of Oc-
tober, serious consequences might oc-
cur, and If during the month of June
the earth crossed the path of the Hal
ley comet instead of during the month
of April, direful things might happen.
But as matter of fact, the governing
law which planned the circuits of the
skies allowed for just these six months
difference in one case and two months
difference in another so there can be no
danger whatever of a collision between
the HALEY comet and the earth.
Coming at Rate 10000 Miles a Day.
This comet is approaching the earth
at about the rate of 100000 miles a
day. 1t is now only. about 300, 900 900
miles away Its nearest approach to
the earth will be next May, when it
viii be about 100000 miles away The
comet Will then be visible to the naked
eye for a short time.
The Haley comet schedule is so
arranged that it appears only once to
each generation of mankind 1t was
here in 1885 and since then is esti-
mated to have travelled $500, 600, 600
miles. 1t will be nearest the solar
globe on the thirteenth of next April
The greatest brightness is expected to
occur after the perihelion passage,
when it will draw nearer the earth.
On May 18 the comet will be only
12,000.000 miles from the earth.

conference was suggested by Prince Ito

Buffalo. N Y, Oct. 26.-Jacob Dold,
head of the packing house which bears
his name, died last night. He was SO
years old.
Jacob Dold was head OF a packing
company which mas been in business in
Buffalo since 1850. In 1882 he established
a plant in Kansas City at Eighth and
Hickory streets. The last of the Kan
sas City plant was burned in April last
year. it being used at that time as a
warehouse. The first fire in the Kansas
City plant was in 1899, entailing loss
OF $200, 900. Another fire two years later
meant a smaller loss. and in 1905 another
building was burned at a loss of $4,000.
He also had packing plant at Wichita.

danger to health and happiness.
DIR. Crumbine blanaes Editor Brady
of the Lawrence Journal for the scare.
The matter was taken up and has been
an editorial subject in both the eastern
and western press. DR.. Crumbine has
either been denounced as a freak or
praised as a life Saver-aI on account
of his alleged campaign against whlsk-
ers.
sI have enough people knocking on
me now without bearing the burden of
those who happen to prefer whiskers,
said the secretary of the state board OF
health this morning. Il have never en-
tertained the. thought of advocating
such a so called reform. 1t is simply a
pipe dream originating from Lawrence
and places me in a very embarrassing
position
DR.. Crumbine stated that the scare
mad practically ruined the effect Of one
OF his tuberculosis exhibits in a little
Kansas town. 1t happened at Washing
ton, Kan. The state tuberculosis ex-
hibit was showing in that town and IN
stead of receiving the support of the
paper in that place it was knocked,
from the posters on the wall to the
originator, DR.. Crumbine. And the
editor as a grand finale of his deadly
blow cited DR.. Crumbine as the freak
who had advocated the abolition or
whiskers in Kansas.
Needless to say the eXnlDlt was ruined
and very little success was obtained
through this part of the country. Until
this incident DR.. Crumbine had taken
the reports of the Kansas press without
any objection publicly. 'I hate to deny

240 b c., but it has probably been
revolving in its elliptical orbit very
much longer than that.
Halley's discovery, after its appear
ance in 1852, that it was a regular
visitor to the neighborhood of the
sun has always ranked as one of the
capital triumphs of astronomy His
suspicion that the comet of 1852 was
not paying its first visit to the sun
was based upon the similarity between
it's orbit in space and the orbits of two
other comets, which had appeared in
1907 and 1881, respectively. He did
not guess it's identity with the comets
of 1856 and 1866. If the three were
identical, then the same comet ought
to return again after another interval
of about seventy-six years. Accord
ingly, HALEY ventured the prediction
that the comet would be back again in
1853.
Died Before His Prediction Fulfilled.
Edmund HALEY died in 1T42 before
his prediction had been fulfilled, but
astronomers of the day followed his
prophecy and watched for the comet
in 175S. and sure enough it appeared.
Because HALEY determined its period

comet which appears once in every
seventy-five years the HALEY comet

Assassin Is Arrested.
The perpetrator of the outrage was
not hard to locate, as he stood
dehantly in the crowd, revolver in
hand. He proved to be a Korean, and
with two companions of the same
nationality boasted of a conspiracy to
take the life of the former resident
general in Korea in satisfaction for
the alleged tyranny of the prince over
Koreans.
AS the police pounced upon the
three Koreans the one who did the
shooting exclaimed dramatically:
"I came to Hardin for the sole pur-
pose of assassinating Prince Ito, to
avenge my country"
None of the three Koreans at
tempted to escape. The assassin while
claiming to have been inspired by a
patriotic motive and to believe that
Japanese wrongs to Koreans justified
his act admitted under examination
that he had a personal grudge against

the execution of several of the MUIR
