Justice Pitney's Confirmation.

The overwhelming vote by which
Mahlon Pitney was yesterday confirmed
as an associate justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States is not only
an Endorsement of the wisdom of Pres
ident Taft in making the appointment,
but is a deserved recognition of the
eminent fitness of Chancellor Pitney
for the position.
No one can question the right of the
Senate to inquire closely into the char
acter and capabilities of the Presidents
nominees, but it is also true that il
Blackstone were alive to-day and should
be nominated for judicial place, some
one would be found to question his con-
struction of the law. This is a critical
age and generation, and it is not sur
prising that one of the many opinions
rendered by Chancellor Pitney should
have aroused antagonism. After al had
been said, however, the confirmation fol-
lowed by vote of ? to I.
There is some occasion for thankful
ness in the fact that the opposition was
not based upon partisan politics. One
cannot but recall. for instance. the man
ner in which David B. Hill, then a
Senator from New York. successfully
attacked the nomination of Judge Horn
blower merely to secure political ad-
vantage over President Cleveland In
the present case there was an honest
difference among men of both parties
over a legal question, and the debate

HEITLER PARTICULAR

TEL LGN FAN L 1OOLAN
No Chicago judge seems to sat
isfy Mike de Pike HeitIer, former
king of the West Side levee and
now on trial for frequenting
disorderly house.
When Mike was arrested two
weeks, he declared that Barney
Grogan, Democratic boss of the
Eighteenth ward, had caused his
arrest.
Then he armed himself with af-
fdavitS and went to all the trust
newspapers with a yarn about
how Grogan collected $4,000
from the disorderly houses in, one
West Side block in three months.
A share of this money he init
mated went to the city hall.
All the trust newspapers refus-
ed to touch the story, especially
as the afidavits were all from
Mike de Pike and select coterie
of his friends.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-11-13

Mike de Pike then tried to
wish the story on The Day Book.
The Day Book refused to have
anything to do with it. Thereup-
on the Daily World fell for the
story, and is now facing a libel
suit.
At the time of his arrest, Heit-
Ter was asked what Judge he
would like to have hear his case.
He said that he would have no
other Judge than Municipal Judge
BETTER. Chief Justice Olson
promptly decided he could not
have Better.
Heitler the ncompromised on
Judge Turnbaugh, and waived his
right to a jury trial.
Today, Heitler's case was call
ed before Turnbaugh. Attorney
Charles E. Erbstein appeared for
Heitler.
The case had har1y been start
ed when Heitler developed an
acute attack of suspicion of Judge
Turnbaugh, and demanded that
he be granted a jury trial. Judge
Turnbaugh continued the case
until the afternoon.
