WHITE IS NEW
CHIEF JUSTICE
Confirmation of Taft's Appoint
ment Overshadows All Else
In Senate.
LOUISIANA JURIST is
AFFECTED OVER NEWS
Associate on Supreme Bench
Chosen Over Hughes to Plead
Highest Tribunal in Nation
No Protest by Senators.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The
senate today confirmed the nomina-
ton of Edward Douglass White of
Louisiana to be chief justice of the
United States supreme court. Presi-
dent Taft's appointment of Justice
White was received shortly after the
senate convened. That body inter-
rupted business to go into executive
session to make the necessary confir-
nation of the rule requiring reference
of nominations to a committee, which
does not apply in cases where APP
pointees have served as members of
the senate.
| Chief Justice Whites commission
will be issued before another session.
Accompanying Justice Whites name
on the list OF nominations were those
| of Justice Willis Vande Vanter of
Wyoming, now judge of the Eighth
judicial circuit and Joseph r. Lamar
of Georgia, formerly of the supreme
justices of the supreme court of the
| United States.
No action was taken in their cases
although there is no apparent oppo-
sition nor was any attempt made to
confirm the judges named for the
new court of commerce. All were re-
ferred to the senate judiciary COM
mittee. The senate committee on
| interstate commerce will meet to-
morrow to consider the nominations
| of c. c. McCord of Kentucky and
D. H. Meyer of Wisconsin for men,
| berships on the interstate commerce
commission.
The only voice in opposition to
Justice Whites immediate conflrma-
ton was that of Senator Hepburn.
He declared himself opposed to the
selection of anyone of the associate
justices, contrary to both precedent
and policy The Idaho senator even
tually surrendered gracefully and
when the vote was taken Joined his
vote with all others in the affirma-
tive.
Justice White was visably effected
when he learned of the senate's
prompt action. He was on the bench
when a group of senators called to
congratulate him. He met them in
the ante-chamber and when he re-
sumed his place his eyes were brim-
ming with tears. He showed further
emotion when on adjournment Of the
court. the entire Louisiana delega-
ton in congress called to congratu-
late him. Later the new chief JUS
tice called on the president to thank
him for the honor conferred upon
him.
| Confirmation of the nomination of
Chief Justice White overshadowed all
else in the senate today. The omni-
bus bill carrying more than $4,000
900 was reported and taken up, but
no final action on it was had. In
the house the pension appropriation
bill was reported and will come UP
tomorrow.

a graduate of the State College, is
doing much to draw the boys into
the high school work. Besides the
high school work, a limited amount
of instruction in agriculture is be-
ing given the seventh and eigth
grades.
With the completion of the pres
ent years work the Mckee Console
dated schools will have fully demon
strated that the new system has
come to take the place of a system
that has outlived its usefulness in
a place so admirably adapted to con-
solidation as the Mckee Valley. There
are now a number of such schools
in the state, but this one with an en-
rollnlent of nearly 400 is the largest.
Much credit for the success thus
far is due not only to the more eff
ficient teaching service and to good
supervision. but to the members of
the board of directors of this con-
solidation who have stood so nobly
by the county superintendent in the
Inauguration of the new school sys-
tenn.

SIX SCHOOLS
COMBINED INTO
ONE IN THE MCKEE
Consolidated System and High
School Is Working Admirably
Attendance Is Far Beyond
Highest Expectations.

The splendid success of the Mckee
rural schools under the efficient sL-
pervision of Supt. c. A. Payne for
the first three months as compared
with last years record shows I'M
questionably the feasibility of the
consolidation of rural schools. Not
only has there been an increase In
enrolment of nearly fifty per cent
over that Of last year, but the per-
centage OF attendance thus far has
not been below 95. while last years
record was from IS to % per cent.
The work of the schools in this con-
soldation has beer harmonized.
where last year there were Ave
schools working under the same
number Of systems there are now
six schools working under one sys-
tenn.
The high school of the consolida-
ton is in its first year and has an
enrolment comparing favorably
with many smaller schools in the
Yakima Valley. 1t is indeed pleas
ing to note that in many cases boys
who have heretofore given no
thought of continuing beyond the
common school. have entered the
high school this fall. The instruc-
ton in agriculture by H. ]. Lechner,

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE
OF RIFLE KILLS LAD
Twelve Year Old Boy Is Shot
Through Head While Scuffling
With Brother.

While unloading rifle Sunday
morning following a short hunt, 12-
year-old Louis Troxell, son of III.
Troxell of the Selah valley, was shot
through the head and almost instant
ly killed, dying only a few moments
after, before a start for medical at
tention could be made. A boyish
scuffle, it is said. was responsible for
the distressing accident
Louis and a younger brother were
in the act of unloading the gun when
the latter pulled the weapon from
his brother and the butt struck the
ground exploding the charge. The
bullet entered the lads eye and
passed entirely through his head. He
died while being placed in a carriage
preparatory to bringing him to this
city.
Louis was one of nine children VINO
with their parents came to this
county from Kentucky about a year
ago. The funeral will take place
from the morgue of the Flint-Shaw
company this afternoon.

While most of the coming year will
be required in completing these i'm
provements, some of the farmers FIR
whose benefit they are intended will
prpare for connection with the power
line as soon as the service is avail
able. 1t is not expected that the
pumping plants can be started in op-
GRAFTON much before the end of 1911,
so the service can not be of practical
use until the spring of 1912.
