EXPECTS BIG
SLAUGHTER
During Open Deer Season
Which Started To-day
DOE BROUGHT TO BARRE
1t Was the First Carcass to Be Brought
In-There Were Probably 10000
Hunters in the Vermont
Woods To-day.

The 1909 open season for killing deer
in Vermont started this morning and
under the law enacted by the last legis-
lature the female. as well as the male
deer could be killed AS there are many
more female deer, it is expected that the
slaughter of the animals viii be greater
than in 1908, when 2,200 bucks were
legally killed The first carcass TO be
brought into Barre was that OF a doe
being brought in this afternoon on the
1886 train BY Jonas Martin Of this city
The animal having been shot at ESQ n
the town Of Moretown.
Martin had only started out hunting
and was walking along a road when he
saw the doe running down a hill nearby
He brought the deer down with one shot
II had been scared out Of the woods BY
some other hunters. It's weight was lac
pounds.
Il Is estimated that as many al 10000
hunters vent out for deer throughout
Vermont this morning, since up to sat
urday night state Fish and Came Com
missioner H G. Thomas Of Stowe had
given out $4,000 hunters licenses to the
various town clerks, and It IS reasonable
70 suppose that majority at least have
been issued. The largest single issue
was probably put out BY City Clerk
James Maekay Of Barre, he having fur
nished 100 licenses since the season on
small game opened in September.
Most Of the hunters from the cities
and towns went into camp Saturday
night or yesterday TO be ready for the
FIRST chance this morning, while those
who live in the country districts had
merely to step out into their own or.
chards or woods to get shot at the
deer

O'Clock last noght at ~Coolmore,v his
summer home at Altm0nt, Albany coun-
ty. Death was due to a complication
of diseases, heart trouble, Bright's dis.

Justice Peekham had been in i'll
health for some time but his condition
was not considered serious until recent
ly. Following adjournment Of the MAY
term of the United States supreme court
he came on from Washington with Mrs.
Peckham to spend the summer at Alt
mont, expecting to return for the be-
ginning of the October term. a few
days ago his condition became such That
his physicians said he was likely to die
at any time or might hnger for several
months Up to few days ago Justice
Peckham exhibited considerable strength
and was able to be about the house.
The circulatory disturbance. which CON
tributed to bis death, was first noticed
about six years ago.
Justice Peekham was born in Albany,
November s. 1889 AT the completion
Of his education at the Albany acade-
my and philadelphia, he studied law IN
the office Of his father who had as his
law partner at the time Lyman Tremain
attorney general Of the state On the
election Of his father to the supreme
court bench Of New York state in 1850,
the same year Justice Peckham was ad-
mitted to the bar, he formed a partner.

under the firm name Of Trenain 81

Circuit Judge Horace H. Lur-
ton Said to be Likely
AS PRES. TAFT'S CHOICE
Judge Peckham Died Last Night Near
Albany. N. ", After Long III
ness-was Considered a
Strong Juror.

Washington, D. G., Oct 25.-United
States Circuit Judge Horace H. Lurton
Of Nashville, Tenn, will probably be
appointed by President Taft to succeed
Justice Rufus w. Peckham, deceased, on
the United States supreme court bench,
despite his geographical location outside
Of the district, which includes Vermont,
Connecticut and New York Failing to
appoint Judge Lurton, Taft may ap-
point Lloyd Bowers Of Chicago, a solicit
tor of the department Of justice, al
though Root, Knox, Dickinson and Luke
Wright are also mentioned.
Judge LuTton was born in Newport,
Kentucky, February 20, 1874, and was
graduated from Cumberland university
In 1857. He was admitted to the bar
the same year. He was chancellor Of
the sixth division in Tennessee from
1875 to 1873 and became justice Of the
Tennessee supreme court in 1886 and
serving on the bench there until 1893,
being chief justice the latter part. He
became a Judge Of the United States
circuit court In 1898. He is professor Of
constitutional law and dean OF the law
department Of Vanderbilt university.
The announcement Of the death Of
Justice Peckham, while expected, came
as a shock TO his associates, on the
bench and in official circles, and every.
where expressions Of regret were heard.
Justice Peckham was Democrat and
before taking seat on the bench gave
considerable attention to politics in New
York, and had been on the bench, state
and federal, for 26 years. He was the
last of President Cleveland's Democratic
appointees to the federal supreme court,
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice White
being the other two. He took his seat
in January, 1895.
His chief distinction was that Of
giving his time exclusively to tile duties
Of the court. He accepted no outside
appointments and undertook no work
not connected with the high tribunal Of
which he was a member He was In
constant attendance on the court and
he gave the most careful attention to all
matters before it. He was married but
went little into society. Unlike others
OF the justices he accepted no invitations
TO public functions, and made no public
addresses after taking his seat as a jus-
tice
Judge Peckham's bearing was distin-
guished and his manner affable. He was
an agreeable and entertaining CONVERSE
tionaliat and highly popular with his as
sociates.
When the news Of Justice Peckhan's
death was broken to the surviving mem.
beIS OF the supreme court last night. all
OF them appeared to be deeply affected.
Chief Justice Fuller had retired when
words was conveyed to him, but he ex-
pressed his sorrow and said that tie
passing Of Justice Peckham was a severe
loss to the American bench.
