to appear before the superior court
to answer to a charge for violation
of the local option laws but is not

court of the United States became
ninth chief justice of that angus
body when the oath of allegiance was
administered by Associate Justice Har

ton was simple, the oath being taken
in the seclusion of the robing room OF
the justices.
Chief Justice White was embar-
raised when he moved to his seat at
the center of the bench. Presiding Jus,
tice Harlan announced the presence
of the new chief justice and extended
the congratulations of the court. Clerk
McKenney read the commission, Jus.
tice Harlan administered the judicial
oath and moved aside to take his old
position at the right hand of the chief
justice, vacating the chair which he
has filed since the death of Chief Jus.
tice Fuller. Chief Justice White sank
into the chair with a smile for his wife
and other relatives who were
present.
In few moments the holiday recess
until January was announced and
the black robed justices filed solmenlJ
from the room.
For the first time in history an as

time a president and senate of one
political party had honored a member
of a rival party by placing him at the
head of the highest court in the

lagoon, carrying with 1t nearly all OF

The sinking of the island is said to
have followed series of earthquake
shocks which were felt throughout the
republic.
The shocks began early In the eve

lence as night progressed until about
midnight, when the watchers on shore
heard the sounds of guns from the
people on the island.
Shortly after that a huge bonfire
was lighted on the island and at about
one o'clock a boatload of frightened
women and children reached the
mainland. The survivors reported that
other boats were coming as fast as
they could be filed, as the island was
slowly sinking under the feet of the
inhabitants.
The island which Is reported to have
disappeared was a volcanic cone

Number of State Institutions ls
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria, 2S county
hospitals and 81 municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January 1,
1909, says a recent bulletin of the Ma.
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
Within the last two years the mum.
Der of state institutions for tubercu,
losis has doubled and the number Of
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to So The
expenditures of public money for TIE
treatment OF tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than
$4,000, 900 Of state money was appro
pIIated for tuberculosis institutions in
1909, when 4S legislatures met, and
over 100000 In 1910, when only IL
legislatures were in session, The ap,
preparations of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanatoria
in the last two years will aggregate
fully $2.500.000, bringing the total
of official appropriations for tubercu,
losis hospitals up to over $6,000.000
in the past two years.
In spite, however. of this good show
ing, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that is
needed has been made. More than
100000 tuberculosis patients are con.
stantly without proper institutional
treatment.

PRESIDENT SEES NO DANGER
Taft, In Speech AIays War Scare,
Declares Nation Need Have
No Fear.

Washington.-Pres Taft, in an
address before the American Society
for the Judicial Settlement of Inter
national Disputes, Saturday gave as
surances that the country need not
fear the so-called war scare.
He said: There is not the slight
est reason for such a sensation be-
cause we are at peace with all the
nations of the world, and are quite
likely to remain So"
Moreover, the president declared he
does not find our army ineffective
and inefficient, though he said more
trained officers are needed and that
we ought to have ammunition and
guns enough for ready use in cases
Of emergency.
"A little more forethought. little
more attention to the matter on the
part of congress-" he said, "and we
shall have all of the army and all of
the munitions and material of war
that we ought to have in republic
situated as we are, 5000 miles on
the one hand, and 5000 miles on the
other, from the source of hostile In
vasion."
The president declared the United
States had excellent coast defenses
for every important harbor that an
enemy would enter.

L0R|MER GU|LTLESS
IN -sTIGAToRS PRESENT PRE-
DlcTED VERDICT TO FULL
COMMITTEE OF SENATE.
BRIBE EVIDENCE is NOTED
But Senator Held Innocent of Use OF
Money-Enough Votes Left Even
II Some Were Bousht-dis Major
Ity Not Impaired.

Westinghouse Lorimer re-
ceived a clean bill of health Saturday
from the subcommittee of the senate
committee on privileges and elections,
which investigated charges Of bribery
in connection with his election. The
report of the investigation was made
to the full committee
The report is unanimous, being
signed by the seven members of the
committee which conducted the in
vestigation.
All the members of the full COM
mittee were present with the excep-
ton Of Buckley OF Connecticut,
Frazier Oh Tennessee and Johnston of
Alabama. No final disposition was
made of the report. but there will be
another meeting of the full commit
tee Tuesday, when it is expected the
report will be accepted by the full
committee and be presented to the
senate before adjournment for the
holiday recess on Wednesday.
Chairman Burrows, who prepared
the report of the investigating COM
mittee, read it to the full committee
1t was in typewriter form. Close at
tention prevailed during it's reading
and at its conclusion the committee
ordered it printed
Copies of the testimony taken in
were READY for distribution among
the members of the full committee
and 1t is expected that some of them
will read portions of the evidence be-
fore the committee meets. So far as
can ira discovered, however, there is
no mir ority report In sight, but some
of the members of the committee may
desire to express in brief form their
views on the character of the EVIL
dence collected.
With regard to bribery practised in
the Illinois legislature the subcommit-
tee reports that the evidence failed
to connect Mr.. Lorimer with the use
of money in promoting his election.
The committee does not declare that
there could be found no evidence
that there was bribery, but under
long line of precedents the field of
investigation laid out for itself by
the committee was to ascertain
whether Mr.. Lorimer could be con-
nected with The bribery.
Having disposed of that question,
there was only one more for the COM
mittee to consider That was wheth-
er Mr.. Lorimer's constitutional major
ity had been impaired by bribery. On
the roll call on which he was elected
May q, 1909, Mr.. Lorimer received
10S votes, or six more than the 102
which were required to give him
majority.
Had the committee found evidence
which proved that at least seven mem
bers of the Illinois legislature had
been bribed to vote for Mr.. Lorimer
1t would have to report that he is not
entitled to a seat in the senate. Ac-
cording to report of the investigating
committee. the evidence failed to i'm
pair Mr.. Lorimer's constitutional ma
iority. Accepting the testimony Of
fered and giving it full credence, the
committee finds that Mr.. Lorimer
would still have a majority of three
more than the actual number of
votes required to elect him.
