z IN the first place when the Hobart
ties trooped into the council chamber
they saw the graceful form OF Castle
man in the mayoral chair. He was
regular Joe Cannon. but instead of
smoking stogies he took frequent bites
from a piece of Battle Axe tobacco.
They saw Castleman put it ali over
Alderman Bowser. who every now and
then arose to notify the acting mayor
that he was going TO get his goat"
When the council SEES sion was over
they saw Castleman stalk out of the
city hail crank his big touring car and
start for his country estate at Black
Oak or his plantation al Turkey Creek.
He did not state 70 which home he was
going.

use head or tail lights on his ninety
| horse power automobile. And they also

policemen on the traffic squad saluted

and that they made no attempt to make

A History of Five Years.

The history of the Much case is one
of FIVE years duration. He has been
constantly on the war path. In 1905
the steel corporation secured all land
in the vicinity of his property with the
exception of his few acres and the
brick saloon building upon it. As the
property is located on the beach Clark
road which could otherwise be closed
must be kept open through a maze of
railway tracks of $4,000 car capacity

Qllartette of Federal Prisoners.

Washington, Dec 27.-President
Taft has dispensed Christmas cheer to
four federal prisoners through com
mutation Of sentence. The pathetic
appeal OF a prisoners s0-year-old
mother for the son she had not seen

guilty in 1904 at St Joseph. Mo, to
counterfeiting. His eight year term
would have expired April Il next.
The president also committed, to ex-

IS HOOK THE MAN?
All Indications Point to His Elevation
to Supreme Bench.

Chicago, Dec 27.=John Calan
0'Laughlin, Washington correspon-
dent of the Chicago Tribune in dis
patch from the national capital SAYS:
William Gather Hook. of Kansas,
United States judge for the eighth ju
dicial circuit, in all probability will be
appointed to fill the vacancy in the
United States supreme court created
by the death Of Associate Justice Har-
Ian.
president Taft called upon Chief
Justice White and is understood to
have discussed with him the advis-
ability of nominating Judge Hook.
The chief justice offered no objections.
Unless events arise in the next few
days to change the presidents de-
cision, Judge Hooks nomination will
be sent to the senate Immediately af-
ter congress recOnvenes next week.

Mr.. NageI was backed by Attorney
General Wickersham and by a large
number of prominent men who re-
garded him as eminently qualified to
sit in the highest court in the land
Mr.. kellogg never has a candidate
for the office but his friends through
out the country de1uged the president
with recomm endations for his ap-
pointment. In view Of the way Mr..
Kellogg AdnuleQ the standard I'll case
and others matters intrusted to him
by the government and the frequent
calls the president made upon him for
advice in connection with proposed or
pending legislation, it is evident
that it was not necessary to convince
Mr.. Taft of his capacity. But Mr. KEEL
1ogg is too progressive for the stand
pat interests Of the party.
Mr.. Hook, on the other hand, is
acceptable to both sides. When he
was candidate for the supreme court
a year ago he had the Endorsement of
Senator Bristow of Kansas, and other
prOgressives. During these last few /
weeks representatives of railroads, in |
Guiding the Santa Fe and the Chicago
& Northwestern, are said to have been
