Opposition TO Hughes.
II was learned today upon unques
tionable authority that President Taf
up to yesterday expected to appoin
! Associate Justice Hughes 10 the chic
justiceship.
Opposition TO Hughes, it was learn
ed, came from judicial quarters, and
is even hinted that the members o
the Supreme Court so far overcam
their dignity as to allow the word u
be passed in a Toun about way to tn
President that they would not b
pleased.
There was much technical objection
TO the election of the youngest mem
ber of the bench to the chiefs chair
and some feeling of resentment on tn
. part of the older members of tn
bench. There was a strong feeling il
favor of senior Associate Justice Har
Ian.
other opposition to Hughes, base
on his brief judicial experience, ais
reached the President. It was learne
that Wall street used its"best offices
to prevent Hughes from being appoint
ed. Taft was not favorably dispose
toward Harlan on account of his ad
vanced age, n years White was tn
next member of the court in point @
service, and as White and Harlan ar
great friends, his selection was dc
clared satisfactory all around.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Historical
Tammany Hall, was damaged by fire
early to-day. For some time the
structure was IN grave danger, but
the fremen by hard work managed
TO conilne the flames to the top floor.
The Olympic Theatre, which was
managed for many years by the late
"Tony" Pastor, was damaged by wa
ter. The theatre Is a part OF the orig
inal structure of Tammany Hall, but
is separated from the other by a new
fire wall and TO this is due the fact
that the firemen were able to control
the blaze before it swept the block.
The fire started on the third floor
in the general assembly room. A
night watchman and scrub woman
on duty there tried to put the fire
out, instead OF turning in an alarm
and this gave the flames opportunity
/ TO get strong headway before the fire.

Victory of Republicans

ally Democratic and while the cleo
tions disclosed the fact that it went
Democratic by substantial majorities,
yet this is largely accounted for by the
fact that in the days OF such Demo-
cratic victories a large number of Re
publican voters were disqualified bv
the old delinquent laws passed and
maintained by the Democratic party.
AS soon as the Republican party was
able to qualify this vote, which was
first in 1892, guess. Sussex county at
once became a doubtful county and
soon was in the Republican column.
THAT there has been in Sussex
county a large venal vote there is no
doubt. Part Of this vote so considered
has been the colOred vote, amounting
TO about two thousand In the county.
In this connection it must be borne I'm
mind that this is a Republican vote.

The Movement

At the six chief packing centers
there was a shortage of over five mil
lion hogs in 1909 and nearly three
million the first six months of 1910.
With the great increase in the
value OF land and in the cost OF
grain, the old methods OF pork pro
duction are not yielding former
large profits. and less attention has
been given the industry.
The agricultural department of the
Rock Island lines, after a thorough
investigation of the work of the
most successful hog growers in the
corn belt and of the results obtained
at experiment stations started hog
growing campaign in Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri and Minnesota
with the cooperation of the agricul'
tural colleges, experiment stations
and farm papers.
The object of the campaign is to
secure the general adoption of i'm
proved methods in raising hogs, that

increased.

CRIMINAL COMMON PLEAS.
Three Cases Disposed Of. One Being

There was brief session of the
criminal court of common pleas here
on Monday morning, at which time
three cases were disposed of.
Peter Sauter of this city. charged
with breach of the peace with a Nor
witch boy, who had appealed from the
city court was represented by At
torney Thomas NJ. Shields, who made
a plea for a fine. He pleaded guilty
and his counsel stated that it was
brought up because the man who fur
nished the bond wanted to get his
money. Judge Waller saw no reason
for changing the citv court decision
and fine of S25 and thirty days in
Jail was imposed
Joseph Cone of New London pleaded
guilty to being a common drunkard
and was given fifty days in Jail and
costs.
Prosecuting Attorney WhittIesey
stated to the court that in the nom
support case of Joseph L. Kelley and
wife both had appeared before him and
stated that they wished to live in
peace and that he had adjusted the
matter by the payment Of $40. Upon
his motion the case was noIled. This
concluded the business.
