Judge Lurton's Nomination Ap'
proved bY Senate Committee.

The Senate committee on judiciary
voted unanimously today to report ia
vorably the nomination of Judge Hor-
ace H. Lurton to be an associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States Some members of the commit
tee expressed the opinion that it would
have been better to have named
younger man, Judge Lurton being in
his sixty-sixth year, but there was no
general opposition to him or any criri-
cism except as to his age. The report
will be made Thursday by Senator Ba
con.
Judge Lurton's nomination was ac
corded by the judiciary committee tie
same treatment given to the nomina
ton of a cabinet officer, inasmuch as
he came from the federal bench to the
Supreme Court. No papers in his case
were called for. the assumption being
that the committee and the Senate are
familiar with his record.
When the nomination comes up in the
Senate tomorrow it will probably b.
confirmed at that sitting, although If
the rule is invoked it would go over
one legislative day.
General interest is felt in this nomi-
nation as 1t Is deemed desirable 10

King Leopold is doomed. Before the
operation was undertaken the physicians
were in doubt whether he was suffering
from a simple intestinal obstruction,
which an operation would relieve. or
from paralysis of the intestine for which
there was no remedy. Since the opera
ton there has been no sign of intestinal
activity and this has led the doctors to
conclude that the organ is paralyZed."
