TAFT ANNOUNCES
COURT JUSTICES
Failure of President to Appoint Gov
ernor Hughes Comes as Great
Surprise in Political Circles.

Washington, DC, Dec. 12.-Associ-
ate Justice Edward, Douglass White, of
the United States supreme court, is to
be elevated to the chief justiceship of
that tribunal. President Taft sent the
nomination to the senate today at
noon.
President Taft also named as associ-
ate justice Judge Willis Van Davanter
of Cheyenne, Wyo., now a federal
judge of the Eighth United States cir
cult, and Joseph Rucker Lamar of
Georgia, democrat, and former JUS
tice of the Georgia supreme court.
The judges of the new court of COM
merce are:
| Martin A. Knapp of New York, at
present chairman of the interstate
commerce commission; Robert w.
Archibald, at present United States
Judge Of the middle district of Penn
sylvania; William II. Hunt of Mon
tana, now Judge of the court of GUS
toms appeals; John Emmett Garland.
of South Dakota; Julian W. Mack,
of Chicago, now judge of the
appellate circuit court of the First
Illinois district MIR, Mack is demo
icrat.
To fill the vacancies on the inter-
state commerce commission in place of
Chairman Knapp and former Senator
r. M. Cockrell of Missouri. The pres
ident named 3. H. Meyer of Wisconsin
and c. C. McChord of Kentucky.
The announcement that Justice
White will be the new chief justice
undoubtedly will cause some surprise,
because it had been pretty generally
understood for some time that Justice
Charles E Hughes was slated for. that
honor In the last two or three days
however, it became known that
change in the head of the supreme
court slate might be made.
Some of the presidents closest ad-
visers argued with hi mthat Justice
Hughes experience at the bar had not
been sufficient to warrant his promo
ton at this time TO the highest judi
cial position in the country They
claimed that Mr. Hughes reputation
as a lawyer had. been gained prin-
cipally in his conduct of the legisla-
tive Investigations.
They agreed with the president chat
everything pointed to most brilliant
career on the bench for the former
governor. At the same time they of
fered the argument that Justice
Hughes was the youngest man on the
bench and that his opportunity for
promotion would come later when he
would have had the advantage Of the
maturing experience of having served
several years on the bench.
1t is known that the president sees
lin Mr. Hughes most of the qualities
that he believes essential in a chief
Justice Young, vigorous, possessing
great executive ability mad with pro-
gressiye ideas, Mr. Hughes was looked
upon as the man who could de much

He has made strong representations
on the subject in his message to, con-
gress and is hopeful that something
substantial will hetdone.
