Washington, March 2s.-The REAR
gument of cases affecting great corpor-

upon prominently today as the prob
able outcome Of the death OF Justice
Brewer. These include the dissolution
suits against the Standard Oil and the
American tobacco companies and the
corporation tax cases. Around the SUI
preme court offices today il was gem
orally regarded as certain that II the

cases or practically so there would be
no need for re-argument. But among
lawyers 1t is not regarded as probable
there was any such unanimity.

eLAzIER PRISON DRUGGIST.
Given Job in Hospital in Preference to
latimer and Fritch.


Jackson, Mich, March 29.-Former
State Treasurer Frank Il. Glazier,
when a young man, acquired a knowl-
edge OF drugs while working i'm a drug
store owned by his father. Young Gla-
zier later became pharmacist. Now
Glazier has been given the Job as
pharmacist in the prison hospital, a
much more easy and pleasant task
than the one he had in the chair shop.
There were only two prisoners in
the institution who were pharmacists,
when the last pharmacist ended his
term, and they We're Irving Latimer
and Glazier. DR. Fritch might have
been selected, but he was not. Latimer
could not be trusted after having poi
soned a keeper and escaping Glazier
had been imprisoned longer than Fritch
and he was given the job
one Of the good things that go with
this position is a well-furnished sleep
ing room in the hospital instead of a
dark and dingy cell in the old cell'block
where Glazier spent his hours when
not at work, and he has his meals In
the hospital, no longer having TO sit on
n three-legged stool in the dining hall
where the crowd OF inmates eat.
Glazier is sort of assistant to Prison
Physician Pray. but his work does not
keep him employed in the hospital all
the time.
