HUGHES FOR CHIEF JUSTICE
Governor VIII Probably Succeed Mel
Vile w. Fuller AZ Head Of
Supreme Court.

Washington With the death OF
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller and
the probable retirement Of Associate
Justice William H. Moody Of the Su-
preme court, President Taft will have
two vacancies in that court TO all
within the next few months.
It Is generally believed that Gov.
Charles 3. Hughes Of New York, who
has been confirmed as an associate
Justice, will be promoted to chief jus.
tice, and that Lloyd w. Bowers Of
Chicago. solicitor general Of the de-
partment Of Justice. will be appointed
Justice in his place. The other alter
native suggested is that Mr.. Bowers
be made chief Justice. Il having been
understood here for some time that
the president considered him qualified
in all legal respects for the place. II
is known, however. that President
Taft has considered Governor Hughes
also in this connection 30 far as his
abilities are concerned.
In the event Of the retirement Of
Associate Justice Moody It is believed
there is strong possibility that q
Democrat will take his place. With
the death Of Chief Justice Fuller only
two Democrats remain on the Su.
preme bench-Associate Justices
White and Lurton.

BAN ON FIGHT FILMS
MOVEMENT AGAINST. THEIR Elk.
HlRITloN is NOW WORLD
WIDE.
MANY CITIES TAKE ACTION
Pictures Of Battle Between johnson
and Jeffrles Declared to Be De-
n,oraIizIns and Likely to Cause
Race Troubles.

New York.-A movement is on foot
which promises to become world
wide in its scope. to prevent the ex-
hibition of the Jeftries-Johnson prize
fight pictures. The United Societies
of the Christian Endeavor, with 4,OO0,-
900 members and the International AS.
ISOLATION of Police Chiefs are the lead
ers of the crusade.
The Christian Endeavor society,
through its Boston headquarters, tele-
graphed to the governor of every
state in the Union Wednesday, asking
that the pictures be barred on the
ground that they reproduce an illegal
act, and that their exhibition would be
Just as illegal as the actual fight.
Secretary William Shaw declared that
he had wired President Taft, Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor Hughes, ask
ing them to use their influence to pre-
vent the pictures from being exhib.
tied.
The American vitagraph company,
which owns the fight films, is believed
to have spent 3250.000 in purchasing
the exclusive rights and in taking
the pictures. Jeffries was paid $66,
666, while Johnson got $50, 900
Richard and Gleason each got one
sixth. In addition the moving pic
ture concern spent small fortune
sending score of expert operators tc
Reno and in other incidental ex
penses. The picture people expected
to take in 100000 during the FIRST
month the pictures were on exhibi
ton.
Among the larger cities that have
already put the stamp Of disapprova
on the pictures are: Washington, vir
ginia CENTRE state). Fort Worth, Tex;
Baltimore. Boston. Lincoln, Neb.;
Louisville, Lexington, KY; Cincinnati
Atlanta, Harrisburg, Pa; Los Angeles
Savannah. and the whole state o.
Iowa.
In many southern cities the agita
ton against the fight pictures is in
creasing, due to the fact that negro
was the victor. The crusade has ex
tended abroad In Johannesburg
South Africa, the biograph halls them
selves have prohibited the pictures.
