FURTHER DELAY !,

President and All the Lawyers Of ~,
Cabinet Hold Conference to Con
slider Latest Charges Made Agains
AspIrant to Supreme Bench.
Washington, Feb. 8.-President TAT
did not send to the senate the name
OF Circuit Judge William G. Hook t.
succeed the late Associate Justice Har
Ian on the supreme court bench.
After a conference at the White
Mouse attended by all the lawyers o.
the cabinet it was decided that fur
Their investigation of Judge Hooks
judicial record, with especial bearins
on an elleged "Jim Crow decision In
. Kansas railroad case, ought to be
made before the president finally
sends in this nomination.
As a result, the chances of the ap
pointment of Judge Hook were not re
gardsd as favorable, although no for
NAL decision has been made against
him.
Secretaries Knox, Maggie, Fisher and
Stimson and Attorney General Wicker.
sham attended the White House con.
ference.
The attention of the president was
called to the decision of Judge Hook
involving the rights of the eolored
race on interstate carriers by such
prominent negroes as w. H. Lewis, as.
sistant attorney general Of the Unit.
Cd States, Ralph G. Tyler, auditor for
the navy department, and others.
Decision Declared Unsound.
Mr.. Lewis not only asserted to the
president that the decision Of Judge
Hook, in which he practically held
that unless the traffic of negroes on a
given railroad was sufficient to war
rant the company, from a financial
point of view, to provide other accom-
modations, day coaches only should be
open to their use, was not only an
outrageous decision, but was legally
bad. This protest was filed with the
president several days ago. but the
Importance of 1t was not fully realized
until it was Investigated. Until then
the president had made up his mind
to nominate Judge Hook, but he will
now hold his decision in allegiance un-
til Representative Anthony of Kansas
and other friends of Judge Hook have
had an opportunity to reply to the
charges.
One of the main arguments made by
the colored man Is that for many
years the late Justice Harlan was re-
garded by them as the best exponent
on the supreme bench of the doctrine
OF equal rights, so far as it related to
the colored race. They now object to
an avowed opponent of the rights of
the negro, as they believe Judge Hook
to be.

I. N. GIBSON TO
 PROSPECT DIESE

We are informed that the mining engineer. T. NJ. Gibson. will leave for the Teller or Port Clarence country today to prospect on Diese creek. a tributary of Grantley Harbor in that section of the country.
 Along with MT Gibson will go Pete Cavanaugh. who has been associated with him as a mining partner for some time. They will prospect the creek during the spring to ascertain If the property contains sufficient gold for a dredging proposition. The creek is several miles long and heads in the low divide separating that stream from the right fork of the Bluestonee. a well known gold bearing stream
 During the early days of the Gold Run excitement. in 190O-i-2 and 3. considerable prospecting was done on Diese creek and several hundred. per haps a couple of thousand dollars was extracted in fine gold dust. but the values being found in low grade gravel and water for sluicing purposes being extremely limited the ground never paid sufflcIen, returns by mining with the poor mans method. but many be. lieved the property or creek would make a fine dredging proposition.
