WHITE IS The man
Choice of President Taft for a
Chief Justice
Falls Upon a Democrat Member
of Supreme Bench.
TO FILL VACANCIES
He Selects Van Devanter,( WyO.)
and Lamar, (Ga.)
Both Hook and Pollock Are Out
of the Race.

Washington, Dec. 12.-President
Taft today sent to the senate these
nominations:
To be chief justice of the United
States supreme court, Associate JUS
tice Edward Douglass White of
Louisiana.
To be associate justices United
States supreme court, Judge Willis
Van Devanter of Wyoming and Judge
Joseph Rucker of Lamar, Georgia.

customs appeals, who was formerly
United States district judge, and one
judge from the appellate court OF
Illinois.
The announcement that Justice
White will be the new chief justice
undoubtedly will cause some surprise,
because it had been generally under
stood that Justice Charles e. Hughes
was slated for that honor. In the last
two or three days, however, it became
known that a change in the head OF
the supreme court slate might be
made.
1t is known that the president sees
in Hughes most of the qualities that
he believes essential in chief justice.
Young, vigorous, possessing great ex-
ecutive ability and with progressive
ideas. Mr.. Hughes was looked upon as
the man who could do much to bring
about reform in judicial procedure in
this country.
