PITNEY BECOMES
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE
Senate Confirms Nomination of New
Jersey Man After Bitter Fight
Over Glass Blowers Decision
-CulbersOn Leads Attack.

Washington, March i3.-The
nomination of Chancellor Mahlon
Pitney of New Jersey as an asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme court
Of the United States was confirmed
by the senate today. The conflrma-
ton came only after bitter fight
on pitney had been made and was
by a close vote.
When the discussion began yes
terday Senator Culbefson of Texas
led in the attack, and in his speech
and those of other senator's, the
New Jersey judge was assailed in
bitter language which extended TO
an attack upon his fitness for the
place on account of his glass blow
er decision. That decision re-
strained striking glass bottle blow
ers from using coercion or persua-
sion to make loyal employees leave
their work in breach Of contract or
under the master Of servant doc
trine. The decision prevented the
strikers from molesting the en-
ploys in any way and interdicted
picketing.

JUDGE MASON
UNDER ARREST
Former Counsel of Defunct Cen
trail Bank and Trust Company
Is Taken Into CutSody.

Fl Smith, March i5.-Deputy
Sheriff Virgil Tumblin went to Sui
phur Springs last night to take into
custody Rankin Mason, wanted in
FIT. Smith to answer to an indict-
ment returned by the Circuit court
grand jury the first of the week,
charging perjury. Soon after the
Indictment was returned the sheri-
ifs office learned that Mason was
at Sulphur Springs and the war
rant for his arrest was mailed TO
the sheriff there. Yesterday a tele-
gram came announcing that he had
been taken into custody. The dep
uty sheriff will return with the
oner about noon tomorrow. His
bond was fixed at $1,000.
Rankin Mason was connected
with the defunct Central Bank and
Trust Company in the capacity of
attorney and stakeholder and was
one of the men who made affidavit
to the amount of capital stock and
the amount paid up at the time of
filing the articles of incorporation.
The perjury charge is based on this
affidavit, the true state of affairs in
connection with the organization of
the bank having been revealed af-
ter Receiver Dowd took charge. +.
ID. Martin is under indictment on a
similar charge in addition to that
setting up that he received money
on deposit when the bank was in
solvent.
Years ago Rankin Mason was as
sistant United States district attor-
ney for Kansas, and for a long per-
iod he lived at Topeka and was
generally regarded as a man of
prominence. He remained in TT.
Smith several weeks after the Gem
trail Bank and Trust Company went
under.

RAISED ONES TO FIVES
After Exciting Chase Officers Catch
Men Near Rogers Charged
With Counterfeiting.

Rogers, March i4.-The alleged
counterfeiters were captured today
after an exciting chase by officers
on a railroad motor. The men gave
their names as James T. BurchGeld
and r. V. Burk, the former claiming
Muskogee, Ok, as his home and the
latter Sloan Springs. They arrived
in Rogers last night and are ac-
cused of floating several five dollar
bills that had been raised from
ones.
The first detected was by J. w.
Redick of the st. James hotel,
where they stayed all night. A de-
scription of the men was given 10
cal officers, who learned they had
taken a X. C. & M. train for Sloan
Springs.
Constable Atkinson and City Mar
shall Shinpaugh secured motor
car and started after the train,
oyertaking it near Sloan Springs,
where the men were captured. The
men were brought to Rogers and
are being held to await Instructions
from federal authorities at TT.

with Ends somewhat grave and some
what troubled present aspect she
threw of her preoccupation instantly
and easily, however, and joined read
lily enough in the merry conversation
Of the way.
Mr.. Robert Maitland, as Armstrong
has said, had known him from a boy
There were things in his career OF
which Maitland did not and could not
approve, but they We're Of the past. he
reflected, and Armstrong was after
all pretty good sort. Mr.. Maitlands
standards were not at all those OF his
Philadelphia brother, but they were
very high. His experiences Of men
had been different; he thought that
Armstrong, having certainly by this
time reached years of discretion, could
be safely entrusted with the precious
treasure of the young girl who had
been committed to his care. and for
whom his affection grew as his knowl
edge OF and acquaintanceship with her
increased.
AS for Mrs. Maitland and the two
girls and the youngster, they were
Armstrong; devoted friends. They
knew nothing about his past, indeed
there We're things in 1t of which Malt
land himself was ignorant, and which
had they been known to him might
have caused him to withhold even his
tentative acQuiescenoe In the possibili-
ties.
Most Of these things were known
to old Kirkby, who with mastery
skill. amusing nonchalance and amaz-
ing. profanity, albeit most OF it under
his breath lest he shock the ladies,
fooled along the four nervous, excited
bronchos that drew the big supply
wagon. Kirkby was Maitland's Oldest
and most valued friend. He had been
the latters deputy sheriff. he had
been a cowboy and lumberman, a
mighty hunter and successful miner,
and now, although he had acquired a
reasonable competence, and had a nice
little wife and pleasant home In the
mountain village at the entrance to
the canon, he drove stage for pleas
ure rather than for profit. He had
given over his daily twenty-five mile
jaunt from Morrison to Troutdale to
other hands for short space that he
might spend a little time with his old
friend ana the family who were ali
greatly attached to him on this outing.
Enid Maitland. girl of kind that
Kirkby had never seen before. had
won the old mans heart during the
weeks spent on the Maitland ranch.
lie had grown fond of her, and he did
rot think that MIR James Armstrong
rerited that which he evidently so
overwhelmingly desired Kirkby was
well along in years, but he was quite
capable OF playing a mans game for
ali that. and he intended to play it in
this instance.
Nobody scanned Enid Maitland's
face more closely than he, sitting
bumped up on the front seat OF the
wagon, onesfoot on the high break. his
head sunk almost TO the level OF his
knee. his long whip in his hand. his
keen and somewhat fierce brown eyes
taking in every detail of what was go
ing on about him. Indeed there was
but little that came before him that
old Kirkby did not see.

A Tribute to Mrs. j. ii. Hinson.

Quoted one of the saddest funerals
of my ministry, that of Mrs. Eliza
beth Hinson. She was the devoted
wife of J. H. Hinson of the Eagle
ton Lumber Company, and was the
mother of twelve children. Some
of these children have reached ma
turity, but the most of them are
small, two being infant twins. 1t
was the sight of these little chill
dren as they gathered about the
lifeless body of their departed
mother that made it so sad. Strong
men wept and women and children
mingled their tears with the dis
tressed family. 1t was not my priv
ilege TO know her, but she evidently
was a good woman, as was shown
by many who sought me that they
might tell me of her noble life. She
had been a devoted member of the
Baptist church since early girl
hood. The love which the COM
muniiy entertained for her was
manifest in the fact that every man.

Is mysterious to us, bat We knew

A MAN OF PROMINENCE
Sketch of DIR. j. w. c. White Given
by Rev. +. n. Brewer-Was on
Supreme Bench i'm Nebraska.

1t was my sad privilege on Friday
morning to conduct the sad rites of
a distinguished citizen, in the per-
son of DR.. j. w. C. White. He had
only lived in this county a few
months, and all the time he had
been confined to his room, hence
was known to but few of our peo-
pie, but he had had long and
eventful life.
He was born in Sheffield, England,
in 1912, where he received his de-
gress, both literary and profession
al. He emigrated to the United
States in 1871 and located at Lin
coin, Neb., and was there united in
marriage to Miss Matilda Ward. OF
this union four children were born,
all now deceased except one daugh-
ter, Mrs. R. G. Kinyon, who resides
near Acorn, and at whose home he
died. In 1876 he moved to South
Dakota. where he held the follow
ing positions of honor and respon-
sibihty President of State Medical
Society, U. S. Government pension
examiner and supreme judge of
the state. He was a member of
the Episcopal church and of the
Ancient Order Of United Workmen.
One could not look upon his face,
even in death, without recognizing
that his Creator had designed that
he should fill a large place in the
affairs of men. The funeral was
held at Owens Chapel and inter-
ment was made in the cemetery of
this church. His aged wife and de-
voted daughter have my prayerful
sympathy.
