 SHOWS HAND Objected to Endorsement of Judge Hill as Judge Rog- CTS Successor
NO RIGHT TO ASK
President Taft For Eay0rs, Said MT Russell, Member of the Ark
 ansas House.

Little Rock, Ark, April 19.-The House and Senate cn Wednesday adopted a concurrent resolution by Senator Logan requesting President Taft to appoint Judge Jos. M. Hill, of Fort Smith, former Chief Justice, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge John H. Rogers of Ft. Smith. There was no opposition in the Sem ate, but in the House sey eral opposed it, led by MT. Russell the Republican leader, who said: Action at this time is untimely. Judge Rogers body was not cold until Judge Hill was be- ing boosted as his successor. The Arkansas Legislature is not in a posi- tion to ask such recognition at the hands of a Republican President, not withstanding the fact that President Taft often appoints Democrats to high official positions The House has passed several resolutions unfriendly to the administration at Washington, and in every instance Ire Legislature has refused 10 consider any measure giving minority representation to the presidents party. The Republican party in Arkansas is not wanting in men who would grace tie bench.'' Y
