Probably in the history Of philan-

charity than Mrs. Russell Sage, who,

has been spending millions in the cause

SELECTED FOR SUPREME COURT

The nomination Of Mahlon Pitney,
chancellor of the state Of New Jer-
sey, to be an associate justice of the
United States Supreme Court. was
sent to the senate the other day by
President Taft. He will succeed the
late John M. Harlan Of Kentucky.
The president also nominated Ju-
Illus NJ. Meyer of New York city to be
Judge of the United States district
court for southern New York, and
Ferdinand A. Geiger Of Cassville, Wis.
to be district Judge for the eastern dis
trict of Wisconsin.
The statement that Chancellor Pit
ney would be named as the successor
of Justice John M. Harlan was made
at the White House subsequent to
call by John w. Griggs, former attor-
ney-general of the United States, and
a delegation of New Jersey lawyers,
all of whom spoke of Judge Pitney in
the highest terms

KING GEORGE MAY WSITUS

That the plan to have King George
visit the United States this year or
next will be submitted to him soon
seems assured, though in official cir
cles not word is being said aloud on
the subject.
There is feeling in court and DO
litical circles that such a visit II
practicable, would present many very
desirable features. But there are
many difficulties in the way, not in.
superable, but presenting for the
diplomats and the statesmen a task
that they regard as prodigious.
AS is understood here, the plan
would contemplate a visit by both
king and queen to Washington, Just
as, according to ancient usage, the
newly crowned sovereigns are re-
quired to pay their respects to the
rulers of the European states. This
custom might in effect be described
as the returning Of the calls made
by the heads of other countries or
their representatives upon the king

team are friends of the Jersey City
boxer and want him to administer a
lacing to the fast-rislng Philadel-

Tracey will be a most formidable
opponent for the Skeeter. He has had
little opportunity to show his real
worth. and now that he has secured
a match he is anxious to demonstrate
his skill. Malta will work hard to
show his improved condition. There
has also been booked for the evening

Paul j. G. Derkum, who will man.
age the new Motordrome at Walls
burg, comes to this city with a great
reputation. He is not only an able
manager, but a man who has per-
formed in the racing game from the
time of the old wheel to the up-to-
date and fastest kind of motorcycle
races. He started in the game in
1896, when he entered road races.
In 1906, when the first motorcycles
were brought to the Pacific Coast,
Derkum purchased one and induced
several other boys. TO do the same.
He then organized a motorcycle club.
A circuit was started by Derkum and
he became such an adept in the sport
that he was called Daredevil Der
kun. The tracks at that time were
slow, and, through Derkum, Jack
ments in the West.
He planned the Los Angeles Sta
dunn, on which track the fastest
times in this country have been made.
This track is next to the steepest
track ever built and is along the lines
of the new Motordome.
At the Motordome Derkum expects
to have the classiest riding in the
country. He says he will not permit
the fellows to do any stalllng and
every race viii have to be run on the
level. The machines will be so picked
that each will have its classification.
The prizes Offered will be Sc large
that the boys will try hard to be the
winners.
The first race meet at the Motor
dome will be held on the afternoon of
July A.. At this time the fastest men
in the country will be on hand to
demonstrate to the Newark public the
fastest game now in sportdom.
