THE SUPREME COURT.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Every lawyer in the United States is
intensely interested in the discussion con-
corning President Wilson's probable
choice Of a man to succeed the late Hor-
ace H. Lurton as an associate justice
OF the Supreme Court of the United
States. No other court in the world
represents so much power or exerts SO
great an influence as the Supreme Court.
No appointment that any President is
called upon to make creates such uni
versal interest as that of selecting a man
for this high bench.
Since the organization Of the court in
1883 but sixty-seven men have been ele-
waited to this high position. President
Wilson the other day made it known
that no person over sixty years old
would be considered in the selection of a
new assistant justice. While this sixty
year-old rlie has been more generally ap-
piled to the inferior federal courts under

Virginia, Justice Stephen ]. Field of
California and Justice John NJ. marian
of Kentucky. The present Chief JUS
tice, Edward Douglas White Of Louisi-
ana, is the only man WHO served as
associate justice who afterward served
as Chief Justice. He was appointed in
1894 by President Cleveland and served
sixteen years as an associate justice be-
fore his elevation to the chief Justice
ship by President Taft in 1910.
During the whole life of the court,
125 years. only two men have been put
on the bench by>~a President of the
opposite political party. Curiously
enough, both Of them were from Ten
nessee, both were democrats. and both
were Confederate soldiers. Howell E.
Jackson was appointed by President
Harrison in 1893, and Horace H. Lurton
by President Taft in 1903. Jackson
served in the United States Senate with
President Harrison, and they were in
innate personal friends. Lurton had
served on the United States Circuit
Court with President Taft. and they.
too, were close personal friends. PreSi-
dent Taft also honored another demo-
crat and another ex-Confederate soldier
by the promotion of Justice White.

MT. joys Reply.

Your letter addressed to me as presi-
dent of the Lincoln Highway Association.
ader date OF June 10. was duly received
id duly acknowledged. In that letter
YOU suggested that the Lincoln Highway
'ssociation give its consent to the plac-
ng of the official Lincoln highway mark
IS along a route from Philadelphia to
!:altimore thence to Washington. thence
Frederick. thence to Gettysburg, thus
routing the Lincoln highway via those
ties and increasing the length of route
y lI2 miles between New York and San
'r:Incisco.
Il have delayed replying to your letter
10y many reasons, among them:
First, of course, on account of the Seri-
BUSINESS Of the request as coming from
you. the President. You who have SO loyal
~ supported the Lincoln Memorial high
way project, and who sent to our asso-
cation your check among the very first
in support of the great and good enter
prise.
Second. to ascertain the attitude of the
tounties and cities lying between Phila-
delphia and Gettysburg. and from which
the Lincoln highway would be diverted
uy the change In route you suggest.
Third. fully to again review and re-
consider the purpose and plan SO careful
~ originally adopted by our association
after elaborate investigation and consider
alton.
IT am under tho necessity of stating to
YOU that the work Of the Lincoln High
way Association. no doubt greatly as
sisted through your recognition of its
work in Its early stages, has progressed
so favorably that there scarcely remains
along the entire Lincoln way any Sec
ton of its route which has not been
marked and to a very great extent re-
named. Especially is such the case be-
tween Philadelphia and Gettysburg. where
in the counties traversed. and also in
the cities OF York. Lancaster, Coates
lille. Columbia, Downingtown. etc. the
nfiicial adoption by the local authorities
Of the name Lincoln way and the mark
ing thereof and the betterments and
beautihcation in process make the
changing OF the route in accordance with
YOUR suggestion. II for no other reasons,
outside of and beyond the control Of this
association.
The Lincoln Highway Association has
committed and intrusted the Lincoln way
to all the people and especially to the
states. counties. villages and cities
through which It's route extends. II IS

We must teach these facts and teach
them right so that knowledge may
lead TO purity and Righteousness.
with the new awakening and dis
cussion of sex matters the pendulum
has swung from silence to pub
licity that is almost nauSeattng. Lit

movies have exploited the interest
in the subject. The endeavor TO avoid
false modesty may in the end break
down the barriers of real modesty.
with the religious atmosphere and
reverent receptive attitude of The Sun

bear the message of the knowledge
that tends to personal purity. 1t is

ROOSEVELT LORDS
OVER CANDIDACY
Declares Himself independent
of Both Bull Moose Chief
and Barnes.

Il am not and never have been sub
servient to Mr.. Barnes or to Mr..

This was in reply TO the statement
given out earlier in the evening by
Colonel Roosevelt, in which Whit
mans candidacy was branded as part
of the Barnes political machine and
declining to accord him the support
>of the Progressive party in the COM
ing New York gubernatorial cam
paign.
In a dictated statement the eX-
President characterized Whitman as
the candidate of the Barnes machine.
UnequivocaIly the colonel urged the
nomination of a straight Progressive.
After throwing Whitman overheard
the eX-President was asked if he
would yield to insistent demands of
his leaders, reiterated today that he
himself take the Progressive nomi-
nation for Governor:

dent evasively. L have already eX-
pressed myself"
In his statement the colonel said:

party in the nation, and when the
Progressive party has nominated its
State ticket, as | am sure it will on
a basis of frank and utter antagon-
ism TO the ss-controlled organiza-

did NOT ATTEMPT
TO DIVERT FUNDS
Interstate Railway Company
Answers Suit Brought by
Stakeholder.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, June 26.-There S no
intention on the part Of the Interstate
Railways Company to divert the
funds from its stockholders to its
bondholders, according to the reply
it has filed to the suit of Caleb r..
Fa3. one of its stockholders. Fox $
poceedings seek to restrain the com
pany from paying its bond holders
the money they had paid to release
bonds deposited with the Philadel-
phia Trust Safe Deposit and Insur,
ance Company.
The Interstate Railways Company
is a holding company operating util-
ity corporations in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware. 1t has
outstanding stock of $3000000 and a
bonded indebtedness of $4,000, 900.
The suit against it has been started
in the Chancery Court. John A.
Riggs, the president, and Thomas
W Crockett. jr., treasurer, filed the
reply.
The answer admits that the COM
pany was in a precarious financial
condition in 1909, and in June of that
year $7,000,000 worth of bonds were
deposited with the Philadelphia Trust,
Safe Deposit and Insurance Company,
as a depository for E. B. Smith and
Company, of Philadelphia, and q
bondholders' committee, which was
seeking to rehabilitate the financial
standing of the Interstate Company.
It is further set out that the negoti-
atoms between Smith and Company
and a bondholders' committee failed
and were broken off May 10, 1909.
1t Is denied by the company that
the Carson estate controls the direc-
torate of the defendant company. II
is also denied that the rentals nov
received are insufficient to redeem
and cancel certain preferred stock
and to pay interest charges against
the company. if certain monies are
directed to the use of the bondholders
by the company.
The resolution against which Mr.
Fox enters an objection in the Court
of Chancery reads: Resolved, that
the treasurer be directed to pay to
the bondholders such sums as they
might have paid in release of the
charges of six tenths of per cent
against all bonds deposited with the
Philadelphia Trust, Safe Deposit ano
Insurance Co"
Another resolution of April %, 1914
directs the officers to proceed to make
payments authorized by the first reso-
luton The company asserts that the
Interstate Railways Company is now
on a sound financial basis and that
the efforts of the bondholders in saw
ing the company from serious f1nan-
cial difficulties in 1909 has Injured &c
the benefit of the complainant and tc
the corporation.
