BUM FOR SUPREME BENCH
SUCCESSOR TO JUSTICE JAGGARD
is NAMED.
Many Considered Though No Man
Was a Candidate.-NeW Man
Democrat.

st. Paul, Feb. 16.-Judge G. l..
Bum of the Ramsey county district
court, Democrat, will be the success
sor to the late Edwin A. Jaggard, as
sociate justice of the supreme court OF
Minnesota, who died in Bermuda.
The governor has felt a great dea
of delicacy in naming a successor to
Justice Jaggard SO promptly, but left
1t necessary to do SO on account of
the condition of the court calendar
which is crowded at this time.
No man was a candidate, yet friends
of several prominent lawyers advanced
the claims of different men. Among
those who were considered were for
mer Justice OBrien, former Attorney
General Young, Attorney General
Simpson, Judges Hallam and Brill OF
Ramsey, and others.
Mr.. O'Brien stopped the considera-
ton of his name by saying he could
not accept the place. 1t was felt that
the appointment should go to Ram
sey, and Judge Bunn's appointment
was finally decided upon.
Judge Bum was first appointed to
the district bench by Governor
Clough and in the past two elections
has been the non-partisan candidate
for the bench. This largely decided
Governor Eberhart in his appointment,
in line with his desire to separate the
judiciary from politics.
Tudoa pnnn'c fret ann0intpoopt RI
the district bench came about through
the death of Judge C. D. Kerr in 1897.
He was first elected for six years in
1898, after having served for about a
year and five months in Judge Kerr's
place. Twice after that he had no op-
position ON the Democratic ticket for
denomination nor on the Republican
ticket for election.
He was admitted to the bar and be-
gan the practice of law in St. Paul in
1883. Since 1904 he has been presi-
dent and dean of the st. Paul college
of law.
Native of Wisconsin.
Judge Bum was born in Sparta
Wis, June %, 1865. He comes from
a family of lawyers, his father, Poman-
20 Bum, having been a United States
district judge III Wisconsin. In the
year of 1879 Judge Bum entered the
preparatory department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and was graduated
from the academic department of the
school in 1885. Three years later he
was graduated from the college of
law.
Judge Bum, during his service on
the bench, has enjoyed the highest re-
spect Of the lawyers of the Twin Cities
and of the state. The new justice is
lover Of outdoor sports and is given
to fly fishing and shooting. A brother,
Charles A. Bum, is general counsel
for the Great Northern railway.

II! for Some Time.
Justice Jaggard had been i'll for
some time. There seemed to be a gen
eral breakdown of his rugged health
and he thought that two months spent
in the sunny climate of the Bermudas,
away from work and worry, would
place him on his feet again. He left
st. Paul, Jan. g., expecting to return
about the middle Of March, Since
then little was heard from him, but it

Justice Jaggard was a unique figure
on the bench, deep student of the
law; he was popular after-dinner
speaker, a member of many fraternal
orders and always in demand socially
because of his loyal qualities. He
took a deep interest in public matters
and wrote several books on legal sub
jects.
He had been mentioned in the last
two campaigns as a possible candidate
for the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. His ability as a speaker and
his splendid presence. it was thought,
would have made him an irresistible
candidate.
Funeral arrangements are not com
pleted, but cable messages have been
sent to Mrs. Jaggard, who was with
her husband 1t is expected the body
will be brought to st. Paul for inter-
ment, the state of Minnesota paying
its last respect to the man who has
been on the supreme bench since 1904.
Judge Jaggard was born in Altoona,
Pa, in 1859 He graduated from
Dickinson college in Carlyle, Pa, in
1879. He came to st. Paul in 1882
and was elected to the district court
by the Second district in 1898, and
served continually until his death.
He was the author of numerous pam

sioner-Minnesota Timber Inter
ests Hit in Federal Report,

Minneapolis, Feb. 16-Coincident
with the last secret meeting of the
members of the Minneapolis Retail
locked doors at the Hotel Radisson
about three weeks ago, three men be-
lieved TO represent the commissioner
of corporation at Washington appear
ed at the hotel.
What these men found out, Or what
occurred at the meeting of the lumber
men, who hold meetings in private
about once a month, cannot be learned
but the coincidence, with the report
of the commissioner of corporations
lively rumors.
Minneapolis retailers deny they are
in any way amenable to prosecution
under the antitrust laws, deny they fix
prices illegally or are pledged to any
pact in restraint of trade.
Minneapolis lumbermen counted the
stumpage of Minnesota and the noses
OF timber barOns keenly on receipt of
the report of Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations, and it
is the consensus that the following in
terests are referred to in the re-
port where it says that: In Mime
sofa, six holders have "a per cent of
the very valuable white and Norway
pine, 16 per cent of the other conifers
and two per cent of the hardwood"
T. B. Walker.
Frederick Weyerhauser and subsidi
airy companies.
Thomas Shevlin and associates.
G. A. Smith
Alger-Smith Lumber Company.
c. A. Pillsbury.
Mr.. Walker Held Leader.
All the lumbermen placed T. B
Walker at the head of the list of Min
neapolis timber owners. although the
Weyerhauser interests were declared
to be close second. The other names
appear in the estimated order of the
extent of their holdings.
One lumberman suggested that if
timber land entries made under the
stone or timber act, timber baron's
law, were investigated, there would be
some very unpleasant disclosures of
sharp practices. After the passage Of
the law big timber operators are said
to have hired lumberjacks to make a
pretense of entering lands for home
making purposes and living on them
long enough to obtain titles to the tim
Der.
1t is declared, however, that most
of the holdings of the six men above
named represent purchases from other
timber men, many of whom, with the
recession of the forests, have entered
other lines of business. Much timber
land was obtained through the pur-
chase of soldier scrip.

Northwestern Retail Lumber Dealers

IOWA ADOPTS OREGON PLAN.
Issue Gets Through Legislature Easily
But Gov. Carroll May Bolt.

Des Moines, Feb. 15.-Iowa took a
step forward in the ranks of the pro
gressives when the Republican legis-
lature adopted the Oregon primary
plan. The bill, which passed the
house last week, passed the senate by
a vote of 81 to 26 and only awaits
the signature of Governor Carroll to
make it an effective law governing flu
ture elections. There is speculation
here as to what the governor will do.
He has not indicated his position.
The Democrats claim they see a pos

the law is approved. It's passage is
