Washington, June 1O.-Washington
realized for the first time today that
Justice Hughes has real smile.

Hughes received news today in his
study, a big sunny room at one end Of
his oblong house, which has its 100
foot side on Sixteenth street and its 20
foot front on V street Despite this
V street frontage, by he way, Justice
Hughes obtained special permission
from the postmaster general to number
his house 2l00 Sixteenth street. V
street, when its buildings are compared
with those on Sixteenth street is not
much for class. Immediately after the
result Of balloting was known, Hughes
shut himself up in his study with his
secretary, Lawrence Green, to direct, u
reply TO Senator Harding'ss notifica-

When the former governor was ele-
waited to the supreme bench New York
lost one of its best political fighters
in Republican ranks since the days of
Roscoe Conkin. He came by his ag-
gressiye ability naturally, being of
Welsh descent, New York knew him
as a man who would just as soon scrap
as sing, and he used to do good deal
of the latter
Born in Glenn Falls, New York, on
April II, 1862, his father was Rev.
David Charles Hughes, direct de-
scendant of u noted Welsh family
while his mother before her marriage
was Miss Catherine Connolly. The fu-
tme justice studied at the public
school in Oswego while his father was
preaching there knd later in Newark,

+ he was a pupil in "Old 35', one Of
the metropolis noted grammar schools
lis liking for oratOry was demonstrate
ed early.
When only thirteen he delivered the
salutatorv address for his class on
graduation. His education was com
pleted at Madison, now Colgate, Uni-
ycrsity, and at Brown University, at
both of which institutions he was pop
ulnr with fellow students, even
though he was very much of q student.
After graduation Hughes essayed
school mastering, teaching Greek and
mataematicd in Delaware academy,
Delhi, n. Y. He also studied law at
odd moments in the office of Judge
Gleason
In 1889 he entered Columbia Law
school, New York. and further studied
Blackstone in the office of Genera

trict attorney. He was admitted t
the bar in 1884 and was just ordinar
ily successful until 1891, when, his
health threatened by overwork, he be

land soon became one of the universally
recognized authorities here on corpora
tion law. His first public service worf
was in 1905 as special counsel for tht
legislative commission investigating
New York City's gas and electric com
panies.
Hughes work in this investigation
was OF so brilliant o character tina
when there was a general demand tina
same year for a legislative investiga
tion of the Equitable Insurance sean
dal. State Senator w. W. Armstrong
appointed head Of such a probing body
called on Hughes, then on vacation
in Switzerland, to return and act a

The disclosures Of that investigation
are historic. They were responsible il
the main for Hughes later being electe,
twice as governor Of New York. In tn
middle of the investigation he flatl.
refused a mayoralty nomination.
From the outset Of his career as gov
ernor, Hughes was in trouble with re

boss" responded by denouncing
Hughes as a party migrate and traitor
to the state convention. Nevertheless
Hughes was renominated and reelected,
The Hughes fight against the race
track interests was probably the most
spectacular Of all his moves as governor.
Behind it lay a sentimental interest.
While .practicing law Hughes was
thrown in contact with q stenOgrapher
whose father had been imprisoned for
embezzlement of money with which he
"played the races"
When Hughes became governor his
first message suggested repeal of the
law legalizing betting at race tracks a
committee friendly to the race interests
laughed and tabled the bill. But Hughes
"got his dander up" He stumped
the state for his plan. Killed at reg
ular session of the legislature, it was
later revived ut special session and
finally forced through by the vote of a
sick senator who was carried into the
chamber on stretcher.
Hughes was first mentioned for the
presidency eight years ago He stead
fastly refused to be even receptive
candidate. Four years ago he likewise
declined to take any interest in poll
tics. Two years ago his name first
began to be mentioned as a republican
nominee against Wilson.

ing and always famous whiskers.
Hughes has been consistent in his
reforms. He startled New York with
the thoroughness with which he probed
the life insurance scandals and, when
governor, made bitter enemies of the
Irregular crowd by doing Just as he
] pleased on appointments; by instituting
direct primaries; insurance reform and
anti-race track legislation.
Because of his reform record and his
progressivism Of thought Hughes has
been mentioned as an amalgamation

Theodore Roosevelt was nominated as

The nomination came in the face of

and spoke but few minutes. They
were jockeyed about, however, while

Petrograd, June 1O.-The Russian
bear is now a tiger. That is the char
acterization of men who have been at
the front and have seen the legions of
General Brussiloff shoot through the
Austrian front from the Pripet marshes
to the Pruth at will, destroying in
days the most complicated defenses-
defenses which the Austrians have been
building for months and which they
deemed impregnable.
Petrograd today places the Austrian
casualties in the drive conservatively
at 100000 and by actual count, 49,
54S men were taken when the Russians
exploded shrapnel in such density be-
hind the Austrian lines that the men
could not retreat through it.
Along the whole front Brussiloff is
using the younger men of his forces.
They are eager for the task, charging
in the face of fiercest Austrian fire.
When the defenses are high, where
the wire ENGAGEMENTS are thick and
where spiked pits have been prepared
into which charging men tumble and
are impaled, the aggressors are using
planks and sapling ladders.
In the entire aggressive, I am in
formed, not a single one of the major
Russian charges has been turned.
Frequently the men go through

countered as many as twenty lines OF
wire entanglemepts. In all the charges
their support from the Russian artillery
is perfect As the infantry whirls
through, the engineers follow, building
corduroy roads, to facilitate the ad
vance of the artillery.
The offensive is directed almost en-
tirnIy against the Austrians--it being
estimated that about 100000 of them
arc defending the line the Russian:
