lie Schools q and 80 and of the parochial
school of the Church of the Visitation were
presented TO MIR Steers, who received them
on the steps OF the hall. He said he would

Democratic State Committee, left the city
yesterday for Buffalo. He will go TO
Rochester tomorrow to take personal
charge of the campaign against George W.

before US. but we are expecting the support
Of Independent citizens"
Chairman Corners says he expects to ask
Mayor Gaynor, Governor Harmon, of Ohio,
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston and other
prominent Democrats to speak on behalf of
the Democratic candidate in Rochester. AS
Mayor Gaynor so far has refused all re-
quests to make political speeches it is ex-
pected that he will decline the invitation of
Chairman Corners.

expected would be chosen to succeed him
at the special meeting of the State Com

THE DEAD JURIST
MAN OF ABILITY

Gas case from New York was de-
cided, it was an open secret that
lawyer who had "a telephone commun-
ication with a stock broker had made
a good round sum of money out of it,
When the Company later petitioned
for a Tehearing before the court, the
lawyer again was on hand, prepared,
if possible, to duplicate his former
winning. He waited all day for the
expected announcement, but it was
not until he gave up his quest that he
found that the decision had been Civ
en- to the chief clerk early in the day,
and he in turn had quietly informed
the newspaper men.
Longevity has been one of the at
tributes Of the Office of chief justice
of the United States. There have
been up to the death of Justice Full
Ter, only seven chief justices of that
court since it was established in 1890.
Chief Justice Fuller was n years old
and had filled the office for 81 years,
his 22nd year on the bench expiring
October 8. Only Former Chief JUS
tees John Marshall and Roger B.
fancy served longer in the office.
Should Governor Charles E. Hughes
of New York be appointed his sue
cessor, the youngest, instead of the
Oldest member of the court will be
it's presiding officer. Governor
Hughes is only 4S years of age, or
seventeen years less than the aver
age as the court is now constituted.

though action may be postponed un.
til summer or early autumn Of the

are to discuss the plan here and in

If Mr.. Taft accepts the post of hon.

King George will accept the cores

Race Prejudice Rampant In Baltimore

The effort Of the city council in Bal.
umore to pass an ordinance which
will forbid colored people from llv-
lug In the same street or section of
the city in which white people reside
is born of prejudice of the rankesi
kind. The charge that property values
depreciate in sections where colored
people live may be logically dismissed
by saying that If the properly owners
took the same care IN keeping their
real estate in the same good and sanl
tary conditions where colored people
live as they do that occupied by the
same class Of whites the so called de
probation would not appear TO be a
factor.
