W4ITS FOR CONGRESS-.
No Recess appointment of
Justice Probable.

Washington, Nov 4--Unless President
Taft decides 20 disregard precedents, which
he is not likely 20 do. no one Will take the
place in the Supreme Court vacated by the
death of Justice Peckham before Congress
assemblies In December.
All the present justices, with one excep-
tion. were nominated while Congress was in
session. The exception was Justice Harlan,
who was appointed by President Hayes on
November %. 1877, but refrained from TAX
ing his seat in the court until December 10
following when his nomination had been
confirmed by the Senate.
There is an unwritten law OF the court
itself for this which is likely 20 be respect
ed. for II has been the practice OF all Presi-
dents 20 consult the members OF the court
before filing vacancies. The objection 10
seating justice In a recess OF Congress IS
that failure of the Senate TO confirm his
nomination would seriously impair the
weight Of decisions In important cases in
which he may have taken part.
Therefore. while II Is possible that Presi-
dent Taft may make his selection before
Congress meets. the actual appointment. or
at least the commission. will be withheld
until the Senate has had opportunity 10
act on IL.

entirely satisfactory. so. OF course, this
report OF the North Dakota's speed Is
particularly so. The report also shows.

screws are completely efficient"
Some naval engineers comment on the
remarkably high horsepower reported a
maximum OF s5.l5o. as being little short
OF extraordinary. but suggest that on its
face there Is a discrepancy between this
power and the speed developed. II would
eeem that all that power was not avail
able for propulsion. They say however.
that this may work out when more de-
tails are available.
The Standardization test would cl arly
indicate that the North Dakota is the
fastest battleship in the navy, and the
results OF the twenty-fOur hour test are
awaited with the utmost interest.

LEFT SHIP TO FATE.
Serious Charge Made By Off
Ger of the HeStid.

ST. John, y. r.. Nov. 4.-That the con-
dition of the buoy marking Old Pro-
prietor Ledge. at the entrance of the
Bay Of Fundy. was responsible for the
stranding of the Donaldson Line steamer
Hestia, and the consequent loss Of
thirty-five lives. last month. is the
charge made by Third officer s. @. Stew
art. the only surviving officer Of the ves-
sci.
Specifically. he charges that the Old
Proprietor Ledge buoy has neither light
nor fog signal. although il is listed as
having both. He says:
''It is known locally that the buoy has
been in this condition for months. The
Hestia must have passed within a few
feet OF this buoy. and had II been lighted
or its whistle sounding the Hestia would
have been warned. and easily cleared the
lodges upon which she was wrecked"
Stewart also charges that the keeper
Of Gannet Rock Light admits having
seen the danger Of the steamer, but did
not fire a gun because he was afraid OF
awaking a doctor in the lighthouse
Stewart says:
"A few explosives from the lighthouse
would have warned the ship and saved
Der from destruction; stir. they were not
given. although the keeper admits see
ing the vessels danger. We were from
1:1O a. m. on Monday until noon on Tues
day-thirty- five hOurs-in a helpless and
perilous position before any one came
near the ship. This Notwithstanding our
being only four miles from the Gannet
Light and making continuous distress
signals and with life saving station not

To have reappointed Brown and

two democrats in their stead would
have reversed the situation and
made the board six Democrats to
four Republicans.

gardless of the fact that it was
already warped with partisanship.
BY appointing one Democrat,
Jesse F. Cross of Fayette county,
and one Republican, Jacob Beidler
of Lake county, former member
of congress, Governor Harmon
made the state board of agricul-
ture bi partisan body consisting
of five Democrats and FIVE Repub

board, Governor Harm IN could do
this. If it were an odd mum mbered
board he could and would have
made the majority Democratic,
