HUGHES STILL
HAS THE LEAD
President J {, Disposed . d to Make :;
Him Head Of the Supreme
Court

Washington, Dec. 12.-Out of the
chaotic condition that has marked the
supreme court situation for the past
few days, now comes an indication
that the final selection will be Charles
e. Hughes for chief Justice, William
G. Hook of Leavenworth, Kas., Judge
Of the Eighth circuit, for associate
justice, and Judge Joseph r. Lamar
Of Georgia, a Democrat, for the third
vacancy, with w. D. McHugh Of
Omaha, Neb., as an alternative choice
Lamar, backed by Senator Bacon
and other Georgians and indorsed in
Q score of letters and kilograms from
many sections Of the south, would
probably receive the backing OF all
the Democrats in the senate, remov-
ing that feature Of opposition. Hook
although he participated In the decis-
ion against the Standard Oil company
is regarded as eligible by the prest-
dent, it is said, and would be very
acceptable to the insurgents Of the
senate. Associate Justice Hughes will
not be opposed, either by regulars OF
insurgents, for the chief justiceship
While it is understood that Presi-
dent Taft has not finally made up hia
mind with regard to either Hook OF
Lamar. It is known that these two
men are now leading the race. Il
became known yesterday that more
than 400 members of the bench and
bar, from all sections Of the country
have been considered by President
Taft for the supreme court vacancies
The narrowing down process has
gone forward rapidly within the past
few days.
Insurgents Want List
It was said last night that the In
surgents have expressed q desire tt
have q full list Of appointments tt
the supreme court and the new com
merce court before finally announcing
their approval and giving assurancei
that they will offer no objections wher
the nominations are sent to the senate
for confirmation.
Reports that Franklin K. Lane and
Judge Prouty, two Of the most pro
rressive members of the interstate
commerce commission, would be TAX
en- away from that tribunal and place.
on the new commerce court hav'
created considerable concern amoni
the insurgents. They say that tn
removal Of Lane and Prouty, Just q
this time, when the railroad rate casei
are being considered, would tmperi
the interests Of the shippers.
The impression that has gaines
ground among the insurgents 10 tha

merce commission are pretty closel!

LEAD TO DEATH
A Wealthy Milwaukee Widow
Burned to Death Because
She Insisted on Candle

New York Dec. 12-Nrs. F. A. Hill
lard, 76 years old, a wealthy widow
Of Milwaukee. Wis, was burned to
death early today in her room in the
Hotel Bristol. She set fire to her
clothing in attempting to light a can
die. Mrs. Hilliard registered at the
hotel on November last and attract
ed attention by her eccentricities.
She refused to use either electric
lights or gas and insisted on burning
candle In her room.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1910-12-12

to succeed to the vacancies on the in
terstate commerce commission should
Lane and Prouty be elevated to the
commerce court, which will hear ap-
peals from the existing tribunal. Any
fears that they may have on this
score, however, are obviated by the
intimation that Lane and Prouty are
to remain whore they are until the
rate cases are decided.
Among those who are discussed at
the present time in connection with
the new commerce court appoint
ments. and the ones that may be made
to the interstate commerce commits
sion, are the following: Former Sem
ator George Turner Of Washington;
Frederick N. Judson Of st. Louis;
John H. Atwood of Kansas City; Wade
Ellis Of Ohio; G. G. McCord Of Ken
tucky, and Martin 8. Decker Of New
York.

nection with tsAt. "tntments.
The presidentSN ations with
the regular and ins6sp 1t elements
of the Republican partyssand with the
Democrats Of the senate, have de-
veloped a difference Of opinion among
the members Of the upper branch
which promises to make the already
difficult task even harder.
Insurgent Senators Agree.
The insurgent senators, 1t Is said,
have agreed among themselves that
the new members Of the supreme
court and the commerce court must
not be men Of reactionary tendencies
or temperament. Regular Republi-
cans have their own views as to the
qualities that should be possessed by
the men to be appointed, and these
views do not coincide with those held
by the insurgents. Meanwhile. the
Democrats are insisting that one OF
the new justices be Democrat, and
it Is said that President Taft is agree
able to this suggestion. Nevertheless
there has been 80 much conflict and
so little agreement that Mr.. Taft IL
said to be losing patience.

small house which the landlord had re-

came. to see him.

CHAPTER v.

The Woman in the Next Car.
With the departure of the conduc-
tor and the doctor, the group around
lower ten broke up, to reform in
smaller knots through the car. The
porter remained on guard. With
something of relief | sank into a seat.
I wanted to think, to try to remember
the details of the previous night. But
nay inquisitive acquaintance had other
intentions. He came up and sat down
beside me. Like the conductor, he had
taken notes of the dead mans be-
longings, his name, address, clothing
and the general circumstances of the
crime Now with his little notebook
open before him, he prepared to en-
joy the minor sensation of the rob-
berry.
And now for the second victim,'
he began cheerfully. What is your
name and address, please?"
I eyed him with suspicion.
Il have lost everything but my name
and address," I parted What do you
want them for? Publication"
''Oh, no; dear, MOI" he said, shocked
at my misapprehension. Merely for
my own enlightenment l like to
gather data of this kind and draw my
own conclusions. Most interesting and
engrossing. Cnce or twice I have
forestalled the results of police inves-
tigation-but entirely for my own
amusement"
I nodded tolerantly Most of us
have hobbies; 1 knew a man once who
carried his handkerchief up his sleeve
and had mania for old colored prints
cut out of Godey's Lady Book
I use that inductive method orig
mated by Poe and followed since with
such success by Conan Doyle. Have
you ever read Gaboriau? All, you have
missed a treat, indeed. And now, to
get down to business, what is the
able murderer?'
How on earth do l know?" I de-
manded impatiently. HE didn't write
it in blood anywhere, did hep"
The little man looked hurt and dis
appointed.
DO you mean to say" he asked,
that the pockets Of those clothes are
entirely empty?"
The pockets! In the excitement |
had forgotten entirely the sealskin
grip which the porter now sat at my
feet, and I had not investigated the
pockets at ALL With the inquisitive
mans pencil taking note OF every
thing that I found, emptied them on
the opposite seat.
Upper left-hand waist-coat, two lead
pencils and fountain pen; lower
right Waist-coat, matchbox and a small
stamp book; right-hand pocket coat
pair OF gray suede gloves, new, size
seven and a half; left-hand pocket,
gun-metal cigarette case studded with
pearls, half-full of Egyptian cigarettes.
The trousers pockets contained a gold
penknife, small amount of money in
bills and change, and handkerchief
with the initial IS" on it.
Further search through the coat dis
covered card-case with cards bear
ing the name Henry Pinckney Sulli-
van, and leather flask with gold
mountings, filed with what seemed to
be very fair whisky, and mono
grammed III. P. S.
His name evidently is Henry
Pinckney Sullivan" said the cheerful
Watertown leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1909-1911, 1910-10-28
