TAFT S.SAT|SF|ED
HOOKS NOMINATION. .
WILL Be APPROVED
Confirmation Of Kansan's
Appointment to Supreme
Court Assured.

President Tart has been sounding the
situation with respect to the question
whether Judge w. c. Hook, OF Kansas.
Will be confirmed for the Supreme Court
Of the United States. The President
several days ago let It be known he
intended to appoint Judge Hook. and
he has satisfied himself that Hook will
be confirmed.
without question there Is to be strong
cpposition to the confirmation Of Judge
Hook But the Indications are that hts
confirmation cannot be prevented. In
quiry among influential members Of the
Senate judiciary Committee makes 1t
quite clear that, unless there should
be revelations showing the personal un-
Atness of Judge Hook for tho place. he
VIII get favorable report from that
committee. And II the committee makes
q fayorable report confirmation will
follcw.
Certain attacks have been made in a
personal way against Judge Hook, and
At 10 declared in judiciary circles II
these are shown to be true he will never
be allowed to serve on the Supreme
Court. But. considering Judge Hook )
case solely from the standpoint of hts
decisions, 1t Is asserted both by con-
servatives and progressives on the Ju-
dietary Committee tho his nomination
Will go through.
In the case of Judge Hook, the pro-
tests against him, SO far as his decisions
are concerned, relate to his concurrence
in the Sanborn decision relative to the
power Of State authorities over intra-
state rates and to his decision knocking
4 out the Oklahoma 2-cent fare order. On
the other hand. some Of the strongest
progressive lawyers in the Senate have
been reading over Hooks decision In
the Standard Oil case and his finding In
the Hartman merger case. They find In
these decisions much to approve, and
what Hook said In those cases will give
him not q little needed support when
his name comes up for confirmation.

FAIR OFFICIALS SUSPENDED
National Trottin9 Association Takes
Action ON Chateaugay Handicap Race.


The case of the famous great handicap
race. which took place at Chateaugay
last fall for purses aggregating S206OO,
was revived at recent meeting Of the
board OF review Of the National Trotting
association. when the officials OF the fair
President r. A. McCony. Vice-president j
+, Mahoney. Secretary F. w. Beeman and
Treasurer G. W. Foster. 50 suspended
until the prizes are paid. Claimants for the
money appeared before the board and
stated the case and the officials of the
fair stated that the trouble lay with
James W. Farley. the strike breaker. who
they said, guaranteed part Of the
money, His attorney stated that his client
was III with pneumonia and was therefore
unable to appear in his own defense and
that part OF the case was not taken up,
The unusual amounts offered for the race
attracted many Of the biggest Eorses in
the country and It was suspected that
Farley was behind the thing AZ he had
previously had trouble with the Platts-
burgh fair officials and was thought TO
be taking this manner OF hurting tho fair
In Plattsburgh. Many OF his own horses
were entered but were unsuccessful In
landing anything worth while.
