More light may be shed on the anti

suit against the principal anthracite
coal.carrying railroads and coal-pro-
duciug com. anies OF Pennsylvania;
and the cotton corner case, arising
out of transactions on the New York
Cotton Exchange.
The validity of several federal laws
may be determined. Foremost among
these is the Employers Liability law
which has been under consideration
by the courts since last February. \
second decision may be rendered re
gardinr the validity of the "Carmack
merce laws, whereby initial carriers
were made liable for damages or loss
of goods whether occurring on their
lines or those of connecting carriers
The fate of a score or more of state
laws may be decided OF these, the

Several general questions of law

the liability of insurance companies

AGAINST
HOOKS APPOINTMENT
REPR PRESENTATIVE CARTER IN
LETTER TO PRESIDENT GIVES
VIEWS OF CORPORATE CON-

Washington, Jan. Tn a letter Of
protest sent today to President TAFT
against the appointment OF Judge
Hook to the supreme court, Represen-
tatiye Charles d. Carter OF Oklahoma
said:
president Taft:
"Honored Sir-l wish to protest
against the a pointment OF Judge
Hook to the supreme bench. We be-
leye in Oklahoma that Judge Hook
was very unfair in his construction
and decision OF our 2-cent passenger
rate law. 1t is insinuated by our cor
poration commission that judge HOOK
son was employed to represent GER
tain railroads with the expectation
that he would be able to influence his
fathcr, Judge Hook, in his decision.
1T is, moreover, directly charged
by the corporation commission OF Ok
laAoma that all the railroads which
employed Judge Hooks son were
exempted from the 2-cent passenger
rate under the judges decision. and
that the Iron Mountain railroad,
which was the only railroad that failed
TO employ Judge Hooks son, is still
forced TO carry passengers at the >
cent rate and freight at the corrora-
ton commissions rate.
IN view of these facts, ! feel it to
be my duty to the corporation com
mission to make vigorous protest
against the appointment of Judge
Hook.
CHARLES D. CARTER
Judge Hooks son, mentioned by Mr.
Carter. is Ingram Hook of Kansas
| City. Kan, who is connected with the
office of Frank Haggerty, noted cor
poration lawyer of Kansas.
The state OF oklahoma is bitterly
hostile to judge Hook asserted Mr.
Carter. The corporation commission
sent me a telegram of protest agains
his elevation conveying the informal
ion have embodied in my letter t(
the president. What other action th'
commission will take cannot say.
