TAFT CHOOSES White
SOUTHERNER TO SUCCEED LATE
CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER ON
SUPREME COURT BENCH.
SELECTION IS A SURPRISE
Designation of Assistant Justice
Hughes, Ex Governor of New
York, as Chief Justice Had Been
Regarded as Almost Certain.

Washington. Associate Justice
Edward Douglass White of the
United States Supreme Court is to
be elevated to the chief justiceship
OF that tribunal. President Taft will
send the nomination to the senate
and 1t Is expected the two new asso-
ciate justices, to fill vacancies on the
bench, also will be named. The fore
cast eliminates j. B. Winslow of
Wisconsin, 80 far as present indica-
lions point.
The announcement that Justice
White will be the new chief justice
undoubtedly will cause some sur
prise, because it had been pretty gen.
orally understood for some time that
Justice Charles e. Hughes was slated
for that high honor. In the last two
or three days, however, it became
known that a change in the head of
the Supreme Court slate might be
made.
Some of the presidents closest adj
visers argued with him that Justice
Hughes experience at the bar had
not been sufficient to warrant his
promotion at this time to the highest
judicial position in the country.
They claimed that Mr.. Hughes rep
utation as a lawyer had been gained
principally in his conduct of two leg
islative Investigations. They agreed
with the president that everything
pointed to most brilliant career
on the bench for the former COVER
nor. At the same time they offered
the argument that Justice Hughes
was the youngest man on the bench
and that his opportunity for promo
ton would come later when he would
have had the advantage Of the ma
turing experience of having served
several years on the bench.
Justice White has been on the
Supreme Court for sixteen years, and
is now the oldest justice in COM
mission whose age is less than 70.
He graduated from Georgetown Uni
versity. In addition to practicing
law in Louisiana he was sugar
planter. He served in the Louisiana
legislature as senator, served for
a number of years on the State SUI
preme court, and subsequently was
elected to the United States senate.
He was serving his first term in that
body when President Cleveland APP
pointed him to the Supreme Court.

ASKS PEARY TO MAKE GOOD
hansen Calls Upon Poles Dscoverer
to Submit Proofs to Copen-

Notwithstanding on the
publication Of Knud Rasmussen S re-
port from DR.. Cooks Eskimo follow
ers on his alleged trip to the north
pole, Fridtjof hansen, the Norwegian
explorer, says:
'The report definitely confirms my
private opinion Of DR.. Cooks claim.
TO all intents and purposes he is a
dead man. Let him rest in peace.
! have no doubt that Robert f. Peary
reached the pole, but it is necessary
that he should place scientific proofs
Of the fact before the public. To
show these proofs to a few friends is
not enough if he wishes to stand in
the worlds history as the undisputed
discoverer of the north pole,
Commander Peary must send his
proofs to the University of Copen-
hagen. the most competent authority

KILLED IN LYNCHING BEE
Georgian Who Part C pated in Attack

Columbus, Calvin Kent, aged

mob which stormed the Muscogee

For is years James Mangan walked

Even the men he arrested, won by the

The goddess of chance, that walks by
every blue-clothed man upon his beat
seemed to have forgotten him.
And then, the other night, his chance
came to him. Locked on the top floor
of a burning building were two little
