BOUQUET FOR BURCH
Legal Lore Compliments His Decision
in State journal Case.

The opinion written by Justice Ros-
seau Burch and handed down by the
supreme court some years ago in the
case of Coleman versus MacLennan. is
made the subject of high praise in
John H. Wigmore's latest book of
legal lore. Wignore is dean of the
Northwestern university and his legal
works hold high place in legal cir
cles. Wigmore on Evidence is regard
ed as a law classic.
In the preface of his latest book,
select Cases on the Law of Torts,' y
Prof. Wigmore refers to the Burch
opinion in the preface to this work
as follows:
"A more complex example is seen in
the rules of privilege for the criticism
of public officials. hTey have taken
all shapes in the last one hundred and
fifty years. amidst new conditions of
politics, journalism and platform:
Burke, in his Alarm Bell speech. and
Lord Mansfield in his John Wilkes
opinion, on the one hand, and let us
say, Mr.. Justice Burch in his mastery
opinion in Coleman VS.. MacLennan on
the other hand, typify two styles of
thought"
Prof. Wigmore, in his preface. did
not attempt to judge as between these
two styles, but he pointed out the old
idea as it applied to old conditions
and thought and offered the new idea,
as exemplified by Justice Burch, as a
worthy example of the new idea

Secretary Knox Sends Note to

1t Is a Reply to a Request for

Washington. Feb. S.-Secretary Knox s

taken to be the preliminary of an ex-

United States. Germany, Great Britain.

While the note is addressed to the Ger

to all the other powers named.
There happily has thus far been no
reason for interference on the part of
foreign powers, inasmuch as both i'm
perialists and republicans have guar
anteed the life and property of the for

improbable that future developments

SWEPT BY FLOOD
Large Part of Spain and POrtu-

Crops Ruined and Chance of
Rendering Aid Cut OF.

Madrid, Feb. S.-Serious floods are
reported from all parts of Spain and
Portugal. Many rivers and smaller
streams have over flowed their banks,
inundating entire villages. All com
munlcation by rail, water or highway
is interrupted and this fact is pre-
venting the despatch of help to the
stricken towns.
Lisbon, Feb. 8.=The number of vic
TINS of the floods in Portugal is not
yet known, but it will be large Many
injured are being cared for in hospit-
ais in the flooded districts
The river Tagus is a raging torrent
carrying seaward corpses and mer-
chandise of all kinds. Many barges
which were anchored in the navigable
section of the Tagus were sunk at the
first onslaught of the flood current;
others were swept seaward with a
great mass of debris from the upper
part of the river, including uprooted
trees and the bodies of cattle and live
stock. Crops through the flooded dis
trict are ruined and all communica-
tion by wire is severed.
The chamber today voted 100000
to aid victims of the disaster.

HOOK IS DROPPED
Kansan Is Eliminated From
Consideration.
Indications Point to Secretary
NageI as the Man.

Washington, Feb. S.-The existing
vacancy on the supreme court bench
the fifth that has occurred during the
present administration, probably will
be filled by the appointment of Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Charles
Nagel, of st. Louis.
President Taft is expected to send
the nomination of Mr.. Nagel to the
senate in a few days. United States
Judge William c. Hook of Kansas, who
has been most prominently mentioned
for the vacancy, is said to have been
eliminated from further consideration
at an hours session of the cabinet
Thursday. All of the lawyers in the
cabinet except Mr.. Nagel were present,
and afterwards it was learned that the
president had made clear his inten-
ton of appointing his secretary of
commerce and labor.
This report is SO generally credited
that rumor is busy with a possible sue
cessor for Mr.. Nagel in the cabinet
ius Rosenwa1d of Chicago were men
toned among those who would be con-
by President Taft.
Judge Hooks name was scratched
from the presidents list almost at the
hour. This action was said to
be due to his concurrence in a Jim
Crow law in an Oklahoma railroad
case. Both the president and Attorney
General Wickersham are understood to
hold the opinion that Judge HOOK
went too far in this case, and Secre-
tary of State Knox, Secretary of War
Stimson and Secretary of the Interior
Fisher, the other lawyers present at
the cabinet meeting, evidently agreed
Secretary Nagel has been mentioned
among those whom the president was
considering for the supreme court
place ever since Justice Harlan s
death last fall. Attorney General
Wickersham and Postmaster General
Hitchcock are both known strongly to
have urged his appointmen ent.
Mr. Taft's only objection to the ap-
oointment has been the fact that Mr.
NageI is 63 years old, and although a |
awyer of wide practice, has had no
judicial experience.
