ness connection with the Standard OIL
Company. he engaged in a spirited col

Mr.. Davis. Mr.. Davis contended that
the admission OF the pipe line into
Arkansas would violate the antitrust
laws of his state. and saying that hell
was the only place he would be will
ing to see the Standard Oil Company's
pipe line enter. He added that he
would also be glad to gee Mr.. RocKe.

MIDDIES AS SCRUBWOMEN
Must Wash Their Own Clothes
on Summer Cruise.
BY Telegraph to The Tribune.

Annapolis. May 2.-The edict has gone
forth that on the coming summer cruise
the midshipmen must wash their own
clothes. The middies suggest that they
hereafter be known as the brigade of
scrubmen."
We thought the limit had been
reached" said one Of them to-day. when
they made us rake fires, clean boilers,
stoke and do everything else on board
shin except man the ashwhip, but this
seems a little too much. Fine thing to
turn midshipmen into laundry women.
This years practice cruise will be one
Of the longest in many years. and the
feet will be at sea almost the entire
time. II is probabl for this reason that
the middies will have to wash their own
clothes. on previous practice cruises
The ships have been in almost constant
touch with land.
CAPTAIN Bowyer, superintendent of the
academy. said to-day that he believed
the midshipmen should have more sea
training. He submitted TO the Navy De
partment the cruise itinerary which VIII
keep the brigade on the water practically
all summer.

captains men, who. according to the po-
lice, were on the inside making bets, the
inspector. Captain Corcoran and Patrol
man John Howard went up the steps of
to- house and chopped down the door
when they were refused admittance.
The police found stove and large
can of kerosene, which presumably were
kept for the purpose of destroying evil
dence in the event of a raid, but they
succeeded in obtaining a number of rae
ing charts and several books in which
bets had been recorded. They also ar

HUGHES IS CONFIRMED
Prompt Action on Nomination
for Supreme Court Justice.
SENATE VOTE UNANIMOUS
Pays Compliment of Immediate
Consideration, Usually Re-
served for Ex-SenatorS.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

washington. May 1.-The nomination
of Governor Charles f. Hughes to be an
associate justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States was confirmed by
the Senate to-day. This action was
taken at an executive session which
lasted less than five minutes. As soon
a. the doors were closed Senator Depew
was recognized to present a favorable
report on the nomination from the Com
mittee on the Judiciary. Mr. Depew
moved that the rules be suspended and
immediate action taken on his report. A
single objection would have been suf-
ficient to put over the nomination until
tomorrow. but Mr.. Depew had taken
the precautiOn to see several Senators
who were inclined to insist on the regu-
lar order, and at his personal request
they yielded. The nomination was then
confirmed without a rOllcall
The action of the Senate IS a. striking
demonstration of the high esteem in
which the Governor of New York IS
held. The rules of the Senate provide
that all nominations reported from COM
mittee shall go To the calendar, and shall
not be in order until the next executive
session 1t is customary TO waive this
rule in cases where the nominee Is
man who formerly served in the Senate.
but it is unusual to compliment others
in this way In the case of Governor
Hughes the compliment is notable. in
asmuCh as public announcement has
been made that the New York Governor
Will not assume his judicial office until
the Supreme Court meets in october.
There was no opposition whatever to
confirmation. but several Senators felt
that the regular order should be followed
inasmuCh IS there V as no need for i'm
mediate action. Mr.. Depew explained
to these Senators that waiver of the
rule would be nothing more than per-
sonal compliment to Governor Hughes,
and they consented not to raise any OBJ
lection to his request for immediate con-
sideration of the nomination. 1t is I'M
derstood that the President will not
issue a commission until Governor
Hughes resigns as Governor.
The nomination of Governor Hughes
was discussed at some length by the
Judiciary Committee this morning. Some
of the Democrats on the committee sug-
gested that IL ought to take the regular
course of reference to a sub-COmmit-
tee. but did not press for such action
The committee was not Influenced by
the petition of the so-Called antitrust
league the only protest filed against the
nomination Both Republicans and Demo
Gratis on the committee were satisfied
fully as to the qualifications of Mr.
Hughes 1t was intimated that the pro-
test of the antitrust league was made
solely for political purposes. and was
prompted by men who would like tn see
their talents for stirring up trouble ex-
plotted in the newspapers. There was
some discussion as to the propriety OF
giving the protestants a hearing. but the
committee decided not To dignity the
protest even 10 that extent.
