May Oppose Confirmation.

The delay in sending in the nomination
of Judge Lurton caused much specula-
ton. and there have been intimations
that the nomination will be strongly
fought in the Senate, owing to the sup
posed trust leanings of the Tennessee
Jurist. number of his decisions have
recently been referred to as stamping
him with favoritism toward the trusts. 1t
has been charged that unless he revsrses
many Of his decisions he will be hostile
to the government in the Standard Oil
case, which will come before the Su-
preme Court for final adjudication about
the time he takes his seat, Supposing
that he Is promptly confirmed.
The President is familiar with many
OF the decisions of Judge LurtOn and has
investigated other decisions through At
torney General Wickersham. He is salts
fed with the record of the Tennessee
Jurist. Some of the most important de-
cisions ever rendered by Judge Lurton
were in conjunction with President Taft,
when the latter was Judge of the sixth
circuit. Judge Taft sat on this bench
before he was appointed governor of the
Philippines in 1898. and it was his service
with Judge Lurton, associated day after
day in handling the business of the court
that gave him such a high opinion of
the TennesSean.
1t is not believed there will be any
serious opposition to confirming the NOM
liidtloH ot JuuSc LuFlOn. tie Will PROD
ably be confirmed after q short investiga-
ton of the committee. The allegation
that his decisions have been uniformly
favorable to the trusts is disputed by
those who know his record. Or the con-
trary, 1t is declared that some of his
decisions in monopoly cases have guided
federal judges in all directions. Judge
Sanborn who recently handed down the
Standard Oil decision, quoted decisions of
Judge Lurton to sustain the case of the
government against the big trust. These
were the Addystone pipe trust case. the
medicine trust case. the wall paper trust
case and the Chattanooga Foundry case
These were all pioneer cases in the fed
eral courts. The United States Supreme
Court It is pointed out, has affirmed prac-
ticaliy all these cases.
Ex-Representative John Wesley Gaines
OF Tennessee, who shudders at the sight
of trust, said today that the allegation
that Judge Lurton was a trust jurist was
absolutely false. Il wouldn't support
my brother If he was a trust owned man
or judge said Mr. Gaines, "and ] know
what l am talking about when ! say that
Judge LuTton is no one-sided man in any
thing. ellis decisions on monopolistic
ca ses are considered the greatest in ex-
istence in this country and have been
sustained by the Supreme Court Three
of his decisiorS were cited the other day
by Judge Sanborn in the Standard Oil
case.

TO BOYCOTT STANDARD
ARMY WILL NOT BUY FROM
THE OIL TRUST.
Similar Course, It Is Said, Will Be
Followed by the Navy
Department

Orders issued by Secretary Dickinson
prohibit the purchase by army officers Of
any oils or by-products manufactured or
sold by the Standard Oil Company or any
of its subsidiary agencies. This action
is based on a recent opinion of the At
torney General that the United States
government cannot patronize any COM
bines that have been adjudged by the fed
eral courts to be operating in violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law. The first ac-
tion in that connection was directed
against the tobacco trust and its sub
sidiary companies in an order issued by
Secretary Dickinson June last
Dckinson's Order.
Il direct" says Secretary Dickinson in
his order, that no contract on behalf of
the government be entered into directly
with any corporation which has been ad-
Indicated to be a party to an unlawful
trust and monopoly and to be carrying
on business in violation of law, nor with
any middleman or agent of such company
or concern, where it Is known that said
middleman or agent is acting for such
unlawful concern"
1t is intimated that the army purchases
about 100000 worth of oil and its by-
products annually, and that the navy
buys over million dollars worth every
year. Similar action undoubtedly will be
taken against the oil company by the
Navy Department..

Wholesale Arrest of Anarchists.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GENOA December 13.-A dispatch from
Buenos Aires to the Secolc says that ow-
ing to numerous outrages recently 800
anarchists have been arrested. While
the arrests were being made a crowd of
people attempted to lynch some of the

the "reds. Some of them will be ex-
PEELED while others will be sent to the

that with the grip. President Taft has
considered objections to Judge Lurton's
age. but feels that he has served so
many wears and is entitled to retire as
circuit Judge there should be no objec-
ton to his retirement as an associate
justice.
President Taft has opposed appoint
ment of federal judges SO we'll along in
years as Judge Lurton.
Judge Carpenter, who becomes federal
district judge at Chicago, will fill the
vacancy caused by the death of the late
Judge Bethea. Judge Carpenter has
tire record as a Chicago jurist. and his
selection. which has been known Tor

lection
The Presidents departure for New
York was not generally known to Sena-
tors and representatives. and a number
of. them visited the White House.
Gardner on the Insurgents.
Representative Gardner OF Massachu-
setts was one of the callers. Not finding
the President on hand he was willing to
answer some questions to the insur-
gent movement in the House. Apparently
he is not committed to following any
formal program of the insurgents. but
will work on his own hook. This is the
way he talked: II cannot speak AS to the
insurgent program. for l was not at the
meeting Saturday night. / am perfectly
clear however as to my own program,
whether it fits i'll with the insurgents or
with the so-called regulars. / believe
that in the next Congress there should
be a change in the rules of the House or
change in the speakership, perhaps in
both.
'In my opinion it would be unwise for
us to fritter away our strength in pre-
mature skirmshes. which might look to
the public as exhibitions of resentment.
When this Congress was organized in
March we We're outvoted. That is all
there is to it. The fact that my paws
are sore is not sufficient reason for lick
ing them in public
Mr.. Gardner plainly says he cannot see
where the insurgents are any stronger
now than they We're last session, and that
he sees no reason to continue a losing
fight until another Congress gets in.

Guarding Against Treachery.

Knowing the antipathy of the adherents
of Zeiaya 10 the United States govern
nlent and its representatives. every pre-
caution has been enjoined on the naval
forces sent there to guard against pos
siole treachery. What is feared more
than anything else is that some Jealous
patriot may attempt TO blow up one OF
the American warships or use dynamite
bombs on the marines in case OF their
landing. The report that a force of 800
Nicaraguan troops had been stationed at
a bridge near Corinto is taken as an omi-
nous sign that force may be used against
american troops landed in that vicinity.
Because of these fears every safeguard
has been placed around the 700 marines
transferred TO the Dixie on the Atlantic
side of the isthmus to the Buffalo at
Panama, on the other side. with a view
TO their use at Corinto. The cruisers
Vfcksburg, Albany and Yorktown are pa
trolling that quarter. 1t is expected that
the transport Prairie will sail from Phil
adelpha with 700 more marines for Mic
aragua by tomorrow night.
Mexican Gunboat En- Route.
The State Department has received
an official dispatch from Managua to
the effect that a Mexican gunboat is en-
route to Corinto.

policy in Nicaragua.
President Eas Interesting Sunda.-.
President Taft had an interesting Sun
day In the morning he talked for an
hour with Gov. Harmon, the democratic
chief executive of Ohio. The Ohio gov
ernor, who is slated for another nomina-
tion for governor and who will loom UP
large as democratic nominee for PTesi-
dent in 1872 should he he again elected
governor, was with President Taft from
IN t. II o'clock In the morning.
President Taft went To church later
with G. y Taft, his brother. When they
left church they did not return direct &c
the White House. but went to the Capt.

close attention by him.
The Presidents visit to the Capitol was
the first made by President on Sunday
since 1876. when President Grant went
there on an excursion.

money he had stolen: that he would
rather lose his head than his money.
