SOLDERING IRON FoR SCREWS.

When you are dealing with a small
screw that refuses to yield to the bland
ishments Of the screw driver, try hold
ing a hot soldering iron to the screw
head. This will often do the trick by
loosening the rust between the metal
surfaces. Heating a screw head, as
above mentioned, and then soaking
it with kerosene over night, will bring
out any but the most recalcitrant
screw.

President Taft Sent His
Name to the Senate Late
This Afternoon
BELIEVES NO OPPOSITION
WILL Be MADE IN SENATE
Attempt to Guard the Secret OF His
Selection Failed-AIajority of Court
Will Be Taft Appointees II Pit.
ney Is Confirmed.

Washington. Feb. l9-The uomina.
ton of Mahlon Pitney. chancellor Of
the state of New Jersey. to be associate
justice of the United States supreme
court. was sent to the senate this
afternoon by President Taft. The
statement that Pitney was to be nam.
ed as the successor OF the late Justice
Harlan, Was made today at the white
house subsequent to q call by John
W. Griggs. former attorney general
OF the United States and delegation
of New Jersey lawyers, all of whom
spoke Of Pitney in the highest terms.
An unusual effort was made to guard
the secret and the president had plan.
ned to send the nomination in today
as complete surprise. He does not
expect any opposition to the nomina.
ton In the senate.
With Pitney's appointment confirm
ed by the senate. President Taft will
have had an extraordinary experience
having appointed six supreme court
justices. a majority of the highest tri.
bunal In the land. in addition to hav.
ing the distinction of elevating Justice
White to the chief justiceshtp.
Mahlon P!tney was chancellor Of the
state of New Jersey and member OF
congress for two terms. He is law.
yer and jurist of thirty years practice.
So far the president is understood
not to have discussed the appoints
ment with all his cabinet. No spe.
cial meeting of the cabinet had been
called but it is possible that mem-
bers of Mr.. Taft's official family were
told OF his choice.
Chancellor Pitney has been under
consideration by the president several
weeks. Following protests against
Secretary Nagel. Mr.. Taft turned his
search from beyond the Mississippi
river. where he first looked for a can
didate. Chancellor Pitney and f j..
SwaNze. justice of the supreme court
OF New Jersey. We're two men who
gradually became most prominent in
the presidents mind.
The president had an opportunity
to talk with the New Jersey jurist last
week when he was in Newark. Both
Chancellor Pitnev and Justice Swayze
were guests at the luncheon given in
the Presidents honor by Governor
Murphy. Chancellor Pitney sat be-
side the president and the impression
he made on the chief executive at
that time was reflected in Mr.. Taft's
speech at the close of the luncheon.
Chancellor Pitney meets many of
the presidents requirements for SUI
preme court justice. He is just lit
tie more than "a years old. six years
under MIR. Tafts age limit, and has
been practicing lawyer and a Judge
since lSS2. He served as associate
justice of the New Jersey supreme
court from 1901 10 1908. and becs me
chancellor in the latter year. His
term would expire in 1915. His home

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 19.-Rumor
Is persistent here that the stationary
fireman proposes to strike late this
afternoon or tomorrow morning.
This would seriously cripple several
mills.

the scene. Three Of the women were
arrested, charged with disorderly con-
duct.
AT some Of the mills, large in
crease in the number of employees re-
sumlng work today was claimed, but
there seemed little change at the
plants Of the American Wooden COM
pany.
No communications from the mill
agents In reply to the demands franz
ed by committees of striking opera
tives were received today and as a
result, an important meeting Of the
central labor unions executive COM
mittee, which was to have been held,
was postponed to tomorrow. BY that
time It is expected that the attitude of
the mill officials toward the demands
will be made known. The central la
Dor union has announced that If re-
plies are not received within q rea-
sonable time" steps will be taken to
