IN FAVOR OF PITNEY.
Senate Likely to FavorabIy Report
Nomination to SupremeN Court.

Nomination to SupremeN Court.
The nomination of Mahlon PitHey to
be Associate justice of the United States
Supreme Court, to succeed the late Jus
tice Harlan, will probably be favorabIy
reported and confirmed by the Senate
without much delay and with little or
no opposition. This statement is made
on the authority of a progressive Re-
publican Senator, a member OF the Sem
ate Committee on Judiciary, to which
the nomination was referred for report
This favorable view results from the
fact that Gov. Woodrow Wilson has
given such high testimonial to the
character and legal attainments of the
nominee for the bench.
President Taft's supporters in Congress
have been satisfied to accept the state
ments of Senator Briggs as to the fit-
ness Of the nomination, wher these are
supported by the Presidents judgment.
who investigated the qualifications of
Chancellor Pitney and formed a high
opinion of his ability. The assurances
OF Gov. Wilson seem to have satisfied
the progressives, and most of the DEM
ocrats who were disposed to criticise the
nomination, mainly because they believed
that Mr.. Pitney was too little known
and his decisions were not at hand.

MAKES RAILROADS
PAY FOR INJURIES
New Liability Bill Would
Leave No Loophole of
Escape.
TAFT URGES PASSAGE

In a special message to Congress. Pres
ident Taft yesterday advocated the pas
sage Of the bill drawn by the Employ
ers' Liability and Workman's Compensa-
ton Commission. providing a remedy and
compensation for accidental injuries to
persons employed by common carriers
engaged in interstate commerce. The re-
port Of the commission accompanied the
Presidents message.
The President. in urging the passage
of the bill. said:
Il sincerely hope that the act will pass.
] deem ii one of the greatest steps of
progress toward a satisfactory solution
Of an important phase of controversies
between employer and employe that have
been proposed within the last two or
three decades
The compensation Of employees is worked
out in detsil on the theory of insuring
each employe against injury received in
the course of his employment, without
reference to his cOntributory negligence
and without any of the rules obtaining
in the common law limiting the liability
Of the employer. Under the new measure,
the message states, the only case in
which no compensation is to be allowed
is where the injury or death of the en-
ploye is occasioned by the employees will
full intention to bring about the injury or
death of himself or another. or II the
injury results from intoxication while on
duty.
DISPoses of Objections.
Three objections to the bill advanced
by its opponents are disposed of by
President Taft. The first, whether the
bin could be regarded as a regulation of
interstate commerce and foreign COM
merce, under the provisions of the COM
merce clause, is said to have been settled
by a decision of the Supreme Court in
the employers liability case. The second.
whether the making Of the remedies
named are exclusive and the compelling
Of the railroad companies TO meet obli-
cations arising from injuries, for which
the railroad would not be liable under the
common law, is a denial of due process
OF law, is disposed of by the President
by stating that the argument OF the com
mission is most convincing to show that
the police power Of the government ex-
ercised in the regulation Of the inter
state commerce is quite sufficient to jus
tlfy the imposition upon the railroads OF
liability for injuries to their employees.
The last objection. that a trial by jury is
preCluded. is denied By the President. it
being stated that the right is preserved
in the act by permitting jury to pass
on the issue when duly demanded.
After touching upon the alleged in
iquities attending personal injury litiga-
tons, President Taft declares that the
administration of justice is clogged in
every court by the number of suits for
that the passage OF the bill will elimi-
nate this congestion.
The amount of damages is TO be deter
mined by arbitration.

McGraw Goes Into Box and Re-
cruIts Keep on Jump.

Marlin, Tex, Feb. 9O.-McGraw to-day
gave his Giant recruits their first chance
to show why they should be playing else
where than in the bushes. Only few of

McGraw went into the box, and the
greater part of the practice session was
spent in bunting the chiefs curves. The

WAY TO RAISE REVENUE.
House May Increase Duty on Sill
Stockings.

Being absolutely unable to agree on a
bill revising the sugar schedule of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law, the Democrats
OF the Ways and Means Committee are
now considering the wisdom of putting
sugar on the free list and raising the
$50, go. 900 revenue that would be lost there
by either through an internal revenue
tax on the refined product or through
the imposition Of extremely heavy duties
on silk stockings and other luXuries.
This question will be discussed on Satur-
day by the committee, when Representa-
tive Hardwick, of Georgia, chairman of
the special committee which has just
made its report after a long investigation
or the activities of the sugar trust, will
appear to argue that sugar be put on the
free list and that one or the other Of the
alternatives mentioned be adopted.
Representative Underwood, of Alabama,
the Ways and Means chairman, frankly
confessed yesterday that the committee
had been unable TO reach an agreement
