pearing to ask that favorable action be

of the charter of the corporation. declar-
ing that is was identical In every respect
with the charter Of the Northern Securi-

cree Of the Supreme Court following Q

the Ohio River. A few months over
Iforty-three years of age, he has written
twenty novels and many magazine arti-
cles. Some of the novels ranked among
the best selling books of fiction of their
year. and his work was eagerly sought
by magazine publishers.
He had taken rather advanced grounds
on social problems when he began TO
turn out novels and pieces for the pc
radicals, Harrington, AIDE, Nicholson, and
the other Indianans whose literary work
brought fame to them. tackled no social
problems in their fiction, but Mr.. Phil
lips wrote, in most cases. with a pur-
pose. He was realist who hoped to
reform politics and manners by drawing
frank and sometimes ugly picture Of
his best known books-"The Cost" 1.-The
Plum Tree and old Wives for New"
among them-were ESSAYS disguised as
fiction.
Assafls the Senate.
Five years ago. he wrote for the Cos
mopolitan Magazine series of articles
which he called The Treason of the
Senate. He assumed that many Sena-
tors were merely tools of large corpora

for granted evils that did not exist, and
that MIR. Phillips. accepting the informa-
ton as accurate, wrote with sincerity

Senate had quite a good deal to do
with the decadence of the violent type
of undertaking.
He was born i'm Madison. Ind. on Oc-
tober 81, 1861. two years before Booth
Harrington began life at the other end

Railroad. After he was graduated from
the Madison High School he went to
Princeton. and made a reputation as 4
student. taking his A. r. with the class
of 1857. In college he had written things
for the university paper and had tried
out few of the magazines that didn't
care for his stories. But he had made up
his mind that he was going to make
something more than living at writing.
and he went back to indiana and looked
around for newspaper job. He got one
in Cincinnati. stood it as long as he
could. and then came to New York to see
if it was in him to make good.

flashes of uncommon ability. He was
assigned one day in the early COS to
write piece about a child that had been
lost in the Bergen Hills. over in Jersey.

turned out a story that made readers
write in to ask who the man was that

The Senate Judiciary Committee is
ination of Judge William H. Hunt. OF
Montana, to be judge Of the Commerce
Court.
BY a tie vote the committee yesterday,
after agreeing to report the other nom-
nations for the Commerce Court failed
to act on Hunts nomination. The Mon
tana Senators and other friends Of Judge
Hunt are working to bring over another
vote to break the deadlock. But even II
the case gets before the Senate. the per-
sonal opposition Of certain Republican
Senator'S combined with Democrats. is
likely to defeat action At this session.
The opposition to Judge Hunt, who Is
now member Of the Customs Court. Is
based on decisions that he rendered while

These decisions favored corporations. es-
pecially the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany. in proceedings brought to enjoin
