HUGHES'S FAMILY
OF STUDIOUS HABITS
Daughters and Mother Live
the Simple Life with
the Justice.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-An eyes
turned to the plain brick house at the
corner Of sixteenth and v streets. where
the family OF Justice Hughes. with the
exception OF Charles Il. Hughes, Jr.. and
his wife and child. were assembled TO
,i"a bulletins from the convention at
Chicago.
This house was built Ivy Mr.. Hughes
IN 1912, more than a year after he &C.
cepted the seat on the supreme Court
bench. which to-day he resigned to be-
come n candidate for President.

Hughes. who has lent her name and

Mrs. Hughes was formerly Miss An
toinette Carter. She was n student of
Welles College for three years just pre-
vious TO the entrance of Miss Frances
folSOm, WHO was lne DTlue OF lT0Sluent
Cleveland and now Is Mrs. Thomas
Preston. Mrs. Hughes went afterward
to Wellesley College and took n special
course there. but was not a graduate
at either of those institutions. Her
eldest daughter. Helen. was graduated at
Nassar will honors. and just a week ago
her second daughter. Catherine. was
graduated ut the National Cathedral
School for Girls. where her father made
his "Americanism'' speech to the gradu-
ates.

of everything. gentle OF speech and voice.

pick and by hat time the newspaper
men had been escorted to the battalion
street and the way barred behind them.
A couple Of hours later the word
came OF Justice Hughes's acceptance
Of the nomination and resignation from

on It.

His reasons were understandable. Mr..
Hughes has never liked public Office.
He served the people from a sense OF
duty and not from ambition. TIL time
had come too for him to consider his
family's needs. He had never made
much money in the practice OF law and
his salary OF $4,000 a year as Cover
nor had not been nearly enough TO keep
up his position.
Moreover he was strongly attracted
by the opportunities for service presented
by the Supreme Court. Hating social
ism. he had made up his mind that II
would have TO be checked by the great
court. II at all that the time was COM
ing when the nation would rave to
choose one of two roads. either one
leading TO great progress or one leading
TO chaos. He was of n mind to play a
part In guiding the country safely. He
was sworn into office in October. 1910.
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbeii once said. after n
study of Mr.. Hughes's career, that the
handspring OF his life was a passionate
effort to vindicate the American system
of government. To his effort he ap-
piled his theory OF good politics. which
meant frank. open. straightforward poll
tics. Once convinced that he is right he
canno, be budged from a position he has
taken. His serenity Is iEver disturbed
by gossip. His temper seems never to
suffer from sneers.

clusion he remains as fixed as Lincoln.

in Republican politics. The Republican

William Il. Hearst. offering all sorts OF

He has always been one of the hardest
workers in the United States. His feats
OF labor In the two Investigations were
prodlgious. AS Governor he was always
az his desk by Q o'clock in the morning
and he frequently remained there until
midnight. As an Associate Justice or
the Supreme Court and as such. one OF
the nine hardest working men in the
world. he has maintained the same re-
markable mental and physical pace.

Big Tournament of 1916 Sea-
son to See Several Import
ant Changes

For the annual national shoot, to be
held this year, beginning on October
20, the state camp target range al
Jacksonville, Florida, will again be
used. This range was used for the
first time last year, and the good re
suits gained there together with the
general satisfaction of competitors re
garding it has caused its choosing for
second time.
Members of the National Guard OF
Hawaii who shot on the range last
year express the feeling that officials
showed good judgment in keeping II
for the range again this season.
The shoot will proceed as follows:
ID Two days preliminary team
practise.
(2) National individual match.
(3) National pistol match.
CAD National team match.
During the two days preliminary
practise. which shall be optional with
team captains, the amount and kind
for each team shall be determined by
the respective team captains; the
time for firing and the ranges, targets
etc., for this practise to be allotted
each team by the executive officer,
who will meet requests as far as
practicable.
Stages and Order Changed.
Stages and order of fire will be
changed considerably this year, the
order announced being as follows:
(ID 200 yards, rapid fire.
l1I 600 yards, slow fire.
ca 1000 yards, slow fire.
Last year the arrangement for these
was as follows:
a. 200 yards and 300 yards, rapid
fire.
ca, 300 yards and 900 yards. slow
fire.
t3) 1000 yards, slow fire.
One day only is to be allowed this
year for the whole course of the ma
tional team match, as is also to be the
time for the national individual match
and the national pistol match.
The pistol match is TO be placed be.
tween the national team and national
individual matches, which is also q

year the pistol match was placed last
on the list. and many Of the teams had
