SUPREME COURT
 HA SOvERRULED COM MERGE COURT

Washington, Jan. 2O-Revocation of an important rate order Of the inter state commerce commission by com merce court was held unjustifiable by the supreme court of the United States today. The decision is on the com merce courts nullifying the action of the commission in reducing freight rates on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad from New Orleans to Mobile and Pensacola.
 The decision which was overruled, today, was written by Judge Robert w. Archibald, the commerce court judge the bench.
 It held that the interstate commerce commission had exceeded it's authority and had failed to consider correctly the weight of evidence in the case. The commission held that the rates, which were raised, had been in force 20 years and were reasonable. The commerce court held that this was no evidence of their reasonableness and enjoined the commission from enforcing the or der.

WHO WILL BE SUCCESSOR TO
 JUDGE HALL /?
S. o. Prentice and George w. Wheeler Mentioned for Chief Justice Promotion To Fill Vacancy In Judgesfip Webb and Watrous of New Haven and T. M. CulIinan of Bridgeport Spoken of

The death of Judge Frederic B. Hall leaves the office of chief justice va cant, and creates a vacancy on the Supreme court bench. Lawyers are speculating as to Judge Halls suc- cessor.
 Opinion is divided, relative to the vacancy, as to whether Governor Baldwin will appoint J. H. Webb of New Haven, Attorney Thomas M Gull linan of this city, or Prof. George D. Watrous of New Haven.
 The first named are Democrats. Watrous is a Republican. He is 9 professor in Yale Law School, and be- tween him and Judge Baldwin a warm friendship is said to exist.
 WatrouS is not only an excellent lawyer but a business man of capacity for he has been, or is. a director of the New Haven Water Company of tn New Haven Gas Company, of the City Bank of New Haven, and formerly was a director in the street railway company of New Haven.
 J. H. Webb is one of the ablest men practicing before the Connecticut courts.
 Thomas M Cul1inan has been for several terms city attorney of Bridge port. He is regarded as one of the strongest men in Connecticut in the law.
 Discussion over the probable pro- motion to chief justice is also common among the lawyers.
 J Prentice, who went into the superior court in 1889 may be elected.
 Others believe that the mantle will falF upon George w. Wheeler, who went onto the bench in 1893.
 Judge Prentice is a Republican, but Judge Wheeler is a. Democrat.
 Governor Baldwin was appointed to the Supreme Court by a Luzon B. Morris, a Democratic governor, and there was a lively Republican opposi- ton to him The state Senate stood D 1 T0a~, deciding vote rested with Lieutenant Governor Cady, a Democrat, so MT. Baldwin F'got by all right In the Sen ate. The House stood 137 Repubn- cans IA Democrats and one Prohibit tionist. A vigorous effort was made among Republicans to prevent the House from confirming the nomina- tion. Republican leaders like Sam Fessenden were fierce in their de- nunciation of MT. Baldwin and such a Democrat as George M. Gum of Mil ford was still 1ercer. One Republican leader in the House who was out spoken for MT. Baldwin was J. H. Hale of Glastonbury.
