President Taft is still worrying about
his Supreme Court appointments. The
refusal Of Senator La Toilette to go to
the White House to consult with the
President about the matter has not
added to the latter's peace of mind
1t is known that the President fears
a Senate combination which will re-
ject any appointments he may make
and force the question of filing the
Supreme Court vacancies into the
next Congress and before a Senate
which will probably be controlled by
the Democrats, and the insurgent Re-
publicans. In order to avoid this calam-
ity, the President has submitted to 4
number of senators list of the nine
men he is considering for the Supreme
Court. The list has been permitted to
reach the press. 1t Is believed tina.
the President is anxious not only to
; placate the senators but is desrous Of

ORCHESTRA.

Richard Czerwonky, formerly second

orchestra, and has become a perma-

ton. In securing Mr.. Czerwonky, who
is an artist of international reputation,
and one of the few great violinists
located in America, the management
of the MINNEAPOLIS Symphony orches-
ira has given another indication OF
its determination of making the or
chestra second to none in the country.
Mr.. Czerwonky accompanied the or
chestra on it's tout last spring as con-
certmaster and soloist, meeting with
the greatest success and at the con-
clusion of the tour arrangements were
made for him to continue permanently
with the orchestra.

lstalwart state treasurer and candidate
for denomination at the June primar
les, had pocketed the interest on the
state funds during the first two months
OF his term-January and February
1909-notwithstanding that he was
elected on the promise that, law or nc
law, he would turn the interest ON the
state funds into the state treasury.
\ law requiring this to be done vas
enacted by the progressive republican
majority in the state Legislature early
in March, 1909.
Recently the state treasurer issued
a length statement denying the charg-
of officials of the banks where the
state funds were deposited ostensibly
in support of his denial of having
pocketed the interest during the two
months in question.
The Sioux Falls Press, the leading
newspaper of the progressive republi-
cans of the state, now reiterates the
charges of the progressives that State
Treasurer Johnson has not kept his
promise with respect to turning the
interest on state funds into the state
treasury.
Experts have been at work." de-
clares the Press, upon the books of
the treasurer and this has given John
son and his friends notice that they
could no longer cover up the facts.
Johnson fastened to fortify himself
by securing affidavits from bankers
where state funds were deposited, to
the effect that they did not pay him
any interest personally. The stalwart
newspapers are making the most of
these a%ffidavits."
The progressives charge in effect
that interest on the state funds on
deposit during the months of Janu-
airy, February, March and April, 1909,
aggregated $685. 80, and that this has
not been accounted for. They prom
Use what they term further revelations
of "Johnson's betrayal Of his trust"
If the state treasurer is sincere in
his declaration that he has not poe
keted any interest on state funds, and
can furnish proof of this, 1t is likely
that a sensation in the lear future in
the fight between the progressives and
stalwarts for control of the state will
be the commencement of libel suits
by the state treasurer. Owing to the
outspoken n in which the pro-
gressives are discussing the matter
this would appear to be the only course
II his skirts are clean.
