ONLY IN CASUAL WAY
Did President and Ex-President Dis
cuss Politics and Policies.

Beverly. Mass. July 4.-Out of all of
the varying reports of the recent Taft
Roosevelt conference has come final
and definite confirmation of the fact
that politics end policies were dis
cussed between the President and for
mer President in the most causal sort
Of way.
There is apparently every reason to
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt has not
made up his mind as to what course
he will pursue this fall. or if he has,
he has taken no one into his conf
dence. 1t is certain that Beverly has
no intimation of what his purpose is
Having already accomplished much of
what he started out to do. and having
his mind pretty well made up as to
what he intends to do at the next ses-
sion of Congress.
President Taft, it can be authorita-

very enjoyable breathing SPELL after
a hard fight and temporarily is rest
ing on his oars, well content with the
progress he has made and apparently

Although the President would not
discuss today the question of sue

a strong impression among those
close to the Executive that Governor
Hughes of New York will be the next
presiding officer OF the court. The dis
igration of who shall be chief justice
rests wholly with the President.
President Taft sent the following

Foremost in the Eye Of

For Chief Justice Of The U.

President Open Minded Regarding
Supreme Court Appointments.

Beverly. Mass. July Awhile the
| President declines definitely to COM
| NIT himself in any way. it is regard :
EIDE here tonight as practically certain
that Gov. Hughes of New York will be
the next chief justice of the United
| States supreme court. Gov. Hughes al
| ready has accepted appointment as an
associate justice and his nomination
to that place has been confirmed by the
| Senate. Unlocked for developments
| may cause change in the President S
attitude but as matters stand at pres
ent Gov Hughes is foremost in the
Presidents eye.
No appointment of a successor to
Chief Justice Fuller. whose death came
as a great shock to the President to-
day, will be made until Congress meets
in December next. BY that time it is
believed that the President may have
to appoint also a successor to Mr. JUS
tice Moody in whose behalf retire.
ment bill was passed at the session Of
Congress just closed. Early in his adj
| ministration Mr. Taft announced that
only under the most exceptional cir
cumstances would he make a recess
appointment to any one of the federal
benches. He believes that no judge of
a United States court should act in a
case unless confirmed by the Senate.
He regards this as holding specially
true in Judges of the supreme court
for which tribunal no one has a deep
er respect than Mr.. Taft. In fact. 1T
has never been denied that Mr.. Taft's
original ambition was to become the
chief justice himself. .u

cutions ever undertaken by the gov

argument before the supreme court in
November. With the death of Chief
Justice Fuller there remains no doubt
that they will be postponed until the
vacancies on the bench are filled in
December. During October and No
| vember sittings the court will be pre-
sided over by an acting chief justice
1t can be positively stated that the
President is entirely open minded as
to the supreme court vacancies One
of the most likely candidates spoken
of here tonight is Justice Swayze OF
the New Jersey supreme court. He
has been strongly recommended to the
President and is said to have an ex-
ceIlent chance for appointment to sue

Gov Hughes declined. Frank B. Kel-
logg has also been mentioned.
President Taft. it is said. is anxious
to secure for the supreme court men

appointment Of Justice Lurton was an
exception and it is not believed he
would again select a man Of that age

MRS. LoNGwoRTH DISCUSSED.

The report that Mrs Alice Long
worth, formerly Miss Alice Roosevelt,
smokes cigarettes caused lively dis
cussion yesterday among members OF.
well known Pittsburg women's clubs at
a meeting of the Pittsburg Playground
Associations flower committee.
81 look on a woman who smokes
cigarettes as do on one who bleaches
her hair-with suspicion, was the
statement Of Mrs. J. H. Armstrong.
Mrs. Minnie o. Roberts and Mrs.
George Kramer took leading parts in
the discussion. which was listened to
with great interest by the women pre-
sent, among them being members OF
the following clubs: Wimodausis, the
Woman's Club Of Pittsburg, i5orosls.
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. the Daughters OF 1872, the
Daughters of Pioneers and the
Women's Southern Society.
THE higher the position woman
holds the more womanly she should
be. -" asserted Mrs Roberts, and num-
Der of others said they thought Mrs.
Longworth ought to be ashamed of
herself of setting such an example TO
the young women of the land.
One dissenter, a member OF the
Wimodausis Club, said Any woman
has a right to smoke cigarettes, If she
wants to, so long as she doesn't tread
on any one else's toes.
The spirited discussion was ended
rather abruptly, when a prominent
daughter of the American Revolution
member arose and said:
I'VE needn't all get up our feathers
simply because Mrs. LOngworth smokes
cigarettes. Why, one hundred years
ago our great-grandmothers sat with
their husbands and smoked corncob

still in custody.
Chicago, July 23.-The police this
afternoon, satisfied with the abb OF
Ernest Stevens, the negro, arrested on
suspicion Of knowing something OF
