Washington. April l. Lloyd w.
Bowers. solicitor general. will be ap-
pointed associate justice OF the United
States supreme court 10 succeed the
late Justice Brewer. unless President
Taft decides that it would be mad
yisable to have sitting as Judge to
hear aud pass upon antitrust cases
one who has been connected with the
department Of Justice
IL Is understood that the president
is DESTROYS of appointing Mr.. Bowers
and is now considering the situation
created by Sr. Bowers service in the
department Of justice. Mr. Bowers
prepared the government brief in the
corporation tax cases now pending be-
fore the supreme court. and since he
has BEEN connected with the depart
ment OF justice IL has also presented
TO the court the tobacco trust and the
Standard oil cases. although be has
not been actively engaged in the pros
ecutions OF either OF the latter.
There has been talk of the posi-
bility OF a rehearing OF the Standard
OIL and tobacco trust cases. and in
such a contingency there is some
question as to the propriety OF Mr.
Bowers sitting in judgment on these
cases This is the phase OF the sit
der consideration.
Don't Believe Rehesrine Necessary.
Friends OF President Taft say that
he does not believe that a rehearing
OF either the Standard OIL and the to
bacco trust cases will be necessary
They describe the president as conf
dent that Justice Brewers death will
have no effect on the outcome OF these
important cases The presidents
friends add that he believes that the
government has won its contentious
not only in the Standard oil and to
bacco trust cases. but in the corpora
ton tax case.
The president and the attorney gen
eral believe. II is said. at least one OF
the antitrust cases. probably the to
bacco case. will be- decided in the near
future and that this decision will al
ford an opportunity for the admins
tration 10 determine just where II
stands in regard TO the prosecutions
under the Sherman antitrust law.
President Taft probably will be in
no hurry TO appoint Justice Brewers
successor II these is no possibility OF
rehearing Of the trust cases. II these
cases do not come up again the presl-
dent may hold OF or the appointment

ability that he may let the nomination
