w. B. Hough, Witness in Rosenheimer
Trial, Attacked in Home.

New York, Nov. Following a mys,
terious assault by two men, so vicious
that he believes it was the purpose OF
his ASSISTANTS to kill him, Walter B.
Hough, father of Miss Grace Hough,
who was killed by an automobile III
Pelham parkway some weeks ago and for
which Edward I. Rosenheimer is now
on trial, is suffering from severe I'M
juries. Mr.. Hough is witness in the
case.
The attack was Of a particularly dar.
ing character, being made on Mr. Hough
in the vestibule Of his own home, to
which he was summoned to meet his
visitors, and he believes he owes his life
to ten fact that his son wondering what
was keeping him in the vestibule so
long, looked over the banisters and saw
the men beating him, while they held
his throat tightly to prevent an out
cry.
The facts were laid before District
Attorney Whitman, and Wednesday
night three policemen were on in the
neighborhood of the home Of Mr.
Hough.

Washington. Jan 12.-No favor
able report upon the nominations Of
the FIVE judges of the customs court
sent 10 Congress late last week will
be made until each has been inyesti-
gated Il is the present plan of the
Senate committee on judiciary to re
fer each of the nominations 10 a sub
committee for investigation. It is
the temper OF the Senate TO take the
nominations for the new court very
seriously.
There was slight conflict over
the nominations before they went to
the committee on judiciary Since
these Judges are to interpret the
tariff act framed and defended in
the Senate by the committee on fin
ance, its members demanded that
the nominations he be referred TO
/ il, but the committee on judiciary
wOn on the ground that the nomi-
nations were of a strictly judicial
character The question of salaries
is likely to be again argued when
/ the nominations are reported in the
