RECORD AS TO CORPORATIONS

Lincoln, Neb., April 26.-W. J.
Bryan commented on the appointment
of Gov. Hughes as associate justice of
the supreme court as follows:
.The appointment of Gov. Hughes
to the supreme bench will be regard
ed by many as a popular appointment.
He has been put forward as a reformer
and seems to be considered one by q
great many good people. but his repu-
tation as reformer rests upon few
Official acts which show him opposed
to grating and to the individual vices,
but no one who will examine his rec
ord can doubt that he is in close sym
pathy with the exploiting corporations.
1t will be remembered that he We
t0ed the bill for the reduction Of rail-
road rates after New York Iegisla-
ture and Republican legislature at
that had passed the reduction bill.
This measure gave to the congested
population of New York the 2-cent
rate now enjoyed by the more scat
tered populations OF the Western
states, and his veto Of it is conclusive
proof that he obeys the dictates OF the
railway managers instead OF listening
to the voice of the public.
He is understood to be close per-
sonal friend Of Rockefeller, and the
published report shows that the trust
magnates have contributed literally to
his campaign funds. He has now at
tempted to show he acknowledged his
Indebtedness. In 1908 he was the chief
defender Of the action Of the Republi-
can party on the trust question.

NEW YORK GOVERNORS APPOINT
MENT SENT TO SENATE
~ PRESIDENT.
EARLY Confirmation Probable, but MT
Hughes Will Probably Retain Gov
ernorship Until Fall Term OF Cour'
eeoins-comment on the Nomina'
ton

washington, April 26.-Presldent
taft late yesterday received from Gov.
charles E. Hughes of New York a let
ter accepting rendered appointment
&C an associate justice of the supreme
court. to succeed the late David J.
Brewer.
Five minutes after the letter was
handed the president the nomination
of Gov. Hughes was on its way to the
senate.
That body had adjourned for the
ldav. however, when the papers reach
ed the capitol, and SO the senate will
not hear officially of the nomination of
Gov. Hughes until today.
To Take Office in October.
While it is expected Gov. Hughes
will be confirmed with little or no de-
Law. it is understood here he will re-
main as the chief executive of New
York until October, and will not take
| the oath of his new Office until the
fall term of court opens, the second
Monday in that month.
There has been much speculation
ever since it was first intimated that
a place on the supreme bench would
be rendered Gov. Hughes as to wheth-
er his appointment would take him out
of the fall campaign in New York,
where Republican leaders say he is
severely needed.
President Is Elated.
President Taft would not discuss
this phase of the case today. He has
been anxious to secure the best man
he could for the supreme court va
cancy. and he feels he has done SO. He
was much elated over Gov. Hughes
acceptance, and last night said:
Il am very much delighted to Sc
cure Gov. Hughes for the bench. He is
man of wide experience and marked
ability, and it is mighty valuable
thing to have on the great bench OF
the supreme court man OF affairs.
Gov. Hughes is 48 years old, think,
and even il he should retire at 20 he
will have had TWENTY-FIVE years of solid
usefulness on the bench"
Keeps Him Out Of Campaign.
1t is believed the appointment OF
Gov. Hughes will eliminate him from
the state campaign this fall. The cam
paign will be only fairly under way at
the time the governor will take the
oath of Office and enter upon his judi
cial duties.
The news of the appointment and &C
ceptance of Gov. Hughes reached the
justices of the court just as they were
adjourning for the day. All were sur
prised and pleased.
Justices Praise Appointee.
II am delighted" said Chief Justice
Fuller.
"a fine appointment" said Justice
Harlan.
II am delighted to hear it," declared
Justice White.
Gov Hughes is man of high char
acter and great ability" was Justice
McKenna's comment.
Justice Lurton smiled; no longer
would he be the newest member of the
court.
Speaker Cannon declined to COM
ment on the appointment, but Repre-
sentative Champ Clark said: 1T is
good appointment; Gov. Hughes is a
strong man."

of hesitation: neither bulls nor bears cared
to increase their commitments.
Statistics were very strong this week
and the visible supply actually became
10000 bales smaller than it was on the
first day of last September. This meant
that spinners had taken 10000 bales more

into the surplus carried over from last
season.. The intU-Sight movements We're
very small but the 'out-of-Sight' was very
large, spinners surprising the cotton world

and 1862, 900 this week two years ago.

day at Houston Of the first two bales Of
this seasons crop. Thursday was the
tWenty-third day Of the menth. Yet last
wear. the first bale came into sight on
the 27th Of June. A feature Of interest
was the announcement that the boil Weevi1

ing the crop with great damage.
The high prices of the week were made
on Tuesday and the low prices on Mon
day and Thursday. From the highest to
the lowest there was a range Of Is to 30
