COLUMBIA MAY INVITE KNOX
U, s. WILL NOT ASK FOR THE RE-
CALL OF OSPlNA.
Believed Secretary Did Not Intend to
Initiate Plan to Settle
Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Il, - President
Taft took up the Colombian situation
with his cabinet and later discussed
1t with Huntington Wilson, the acting
secretary of state. No official an.
nouncement was made of what action
had been taken by this government.
1t was declared authoritatively that
the United States did not contemplate
asking for the recall of Senior Ospina,
the Colombian minister.
A report was current that full ex-
PLANTATION of the attitude of the United
States in the present controversy had
been cabled to American Minister Du.
bois at Rogota so that he might In
formally advise Colombia.
II is believed that the Colombian
government now will learn from Mr..
Dubois that Secretary Knox did not
intend the Initiation of some nesota-
tions which might terminate the trou-
hled relations which grew out of the
revolt of Panama from Colombia.
Whether in view of such information.
Colombia might issue a special invita-
ton to Mr.. Knox is said to be based
on the character of the negotiations
which he would begin, the Colombian
government being most insistent on
arbitration through The Hague tri-
bunal rather than any bipartisan
commission of diplomats.
1t is taken for granted here that the
Colon bian foreign Office is we'll in
formed of the developments in con-
nection with Minister Ospina's let
ter. A special invitation to Mr. Knox
though not expected here, would me-
cessitate no change in the plans of his
tour, provision having been made for
a stop at Cartagona if Colombia were
DISPOSED to desire it.

P|7NEY APPOINTED
TO SUPREME COURT
TAFT DECIDES ON NEW JERSEY
STATE CHANCELLOR FOR
HARLAN'S PLACE.
TAFT's 9Th APPOINTMENT
Nomination Sent to Senate BY Exeeu'
tive-Decislons In Oklahoma
Cases Removed Hook From
List Of Candidates.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The nomina'
ton of Mahlon Pitney, chancellor OF
the state of New Jersey to be an asso'
ciate Justice of the United States gu
preme court. was sent to the senate
by President Taft.
Mr.. Taft does not expect any oppo.
sition to the nomination in the senate.
Decision. Cost Hook Post.
Chancellor Pitney long has been .
prominent figure in New Jersey.
In casting about for q successor to
Justice Harlan. Mr.. Taft first looked
beyond the Mississippi river. At one
time it seemed certain he would name
Judge William c. Hook of the United
States circuit court, and again it was
believed Secretary Charles Nagel OF
the department Of commerce and labor.
would be the presidents choice.
There was protest against Judge
Hook. because of his decisions in two
Oklahoma cases, one involving the 2
cent fare law and the other the Jim
Crow car law. The latter case in
which Hook decided in favor Of the
railroads and against the contention Of
the negroes affected, is said to have
been the final cause of the presidents
turning from the Kansas jurist.
Labor organizations protested
against Secretary Nagel on the ground
that he had been too lenient in the
enforcement of the immigration laws.
Majority Of Judges Named.
When Chancellor Pitney shall have
been confirmed by the senate and has
taken his place on the supreme court,
President Taft will have had the extra
ordinary experience Of having consti'
tuted majority of the highest tribun'
al in the land---a bench on which it
had been his most exalted ambition to
serve as chief justice. In addition to
naming five new justices, on court
of nine, President Taft also had tho
distinction of elevating Associate JUS
tice Edward D. White. to the chief
justiceship, making in all six supreme
court appointment during the three
years he has been in the White House.
The five associate justices named by
Mr.. Taft were Messrs. Lurton. Hughes,
Van Devanter, Lamar and Pitney.
