nois Central. Last week large part
CT the coach repair works in the shops
was removed to Memphis, and the
committe has learned since that the
entire outfit is to be cleaned out and
carried to the Tennessee city. The
council considers this in direct viola
tion of the agreement between the
railroad and the city, made when the
shops were given their present location
here.
At the meeting Mayor Hayes read a
letter from President Markham, in
which he said: THE amount of re
pairs does not justify the coach shop
at Vicksburg as a separate depart
ment."
Mayor Hayes and the committee in.
tend to hold the railroads to the letter
of the city's contract, which they
claim has been violated.

bersome a proceeding to apply to cor
rupt Judges. he proposed a tribunal for
the removal of judges for cause.
OF the recall of judicial decisions,
President Taft said, in part:
This is remarkable suggestion,
and one which is so contrary to any
thing in government heretofore pro.
posed, that it is hard to give to it the
serious consideration which it de-
serves, because of its advocates and
of the conditions under which it is ad-
vanced. What this recall of decisions
will amount to if applied to constitu-
tional questions is that there will be
suspension of the Constitution to en-
able temporary majority of the elec-
torate to enforce a popular invalid
act"

CONFIRMATION Of
FITNtY RELD-UP

Washington, March 9.-The senate
yesterday confirmed Taft's nomination
of Mahlon Pitney, chancellor of New
Jersey, to succeed the late Associate
Justice Harlan, on the supreme court
and then set aside the action for fur
ther consideration because of oppo-
sition to Pitney that developed in ex-
ecutive session.
Senator Culberson, of Texas, called
attention to Pitney's decision of what
is known as the glass bottle blowers
case; that of the Geo. Jonas Glass
Company against the Glass Bottle
Blowers Association of the United
States.
In that case, Pitney sustained an
Injunction restraining the bottle blow
ers from coercing, and persuading 9th
er workmen to break contracts with
employers and from interfering in any
way with persons willing to work.
The dissenting opinion of Judge Gar
ettson disagreeing with the Injunction
against the workmen who peaceably
persuade employees, not under contract
to leave employment, was read. The
nomination may come up again today.

Expression of London Papers on
Achievement.

London. March 9.-Under the head
ing, THE dwelling of the South
Pole" the Daily Chronicle saws edi-
torily this morning:
To-day we publish the story of the
unveiling of the South Pole and the
posting there of the Norwegian flag.
Captain Amundsen, the hero of this
stirring achievement, tells a simple,
straightforward tale of his wonderful
dash over the great ice. His story is
fascinating and told in plain, straight
flung words.
eve can well imagine the pride.
which no words can adequately tell,
of those descendants of the vikings
as they ran up the flag of their coun-
try at the very heart of the great
white continent at the south.
Captain Amundsen's story shows
that his arrangements were excellent
and his equipment admirably gauged
to meet the strain placed upon it.
His foresight and dogged persist
ence combined award to him his WELL
earned prize. 1t is now clear that with
good supplies for another fortnight the
British explorer would have conquered
in 1909 the southern polar region.
The race, as far as we can jud
in the absence of news from Lieute..
ant Scott, has been to the swift. for
the Norwegian explorer certainly
made a rapid journey from his base to
the pole"
The Times in an editorial says.
'1t is clear from the tidings sent by
Captain Amundsen that he reached
the South Pole in the middle of De-
cember and thus secured the last
great trophy in polar expedition.
The explorer attained an altitude
of 10000 feet at one point and was
favored with good weather. Amund-
sen passed Shackleton's farthest point
on Dec. 8.
THE whole British nation will offer
its congratulations to Captain Amund-
sen and the Norwegians on this dar-
ing achievement.
ut is to be understood from Amund-
sens message that he reached the pole
on Dec. IA, and remained there until
the 18th for the purpose of taking a
noon observation for several consecu-
tive days, and thus verifying his posi-
tion beyond any shadow of a doubt.
