FIRMED BY SENATE FOLLOW
ING NOMINATION..

Washington. - Former President |
William Howard Taft has been noml- |
mated by President Harding to be
chief justice of the United States, and
his nomination was confirmed by the
Senate in executive session.
The nomination was not confirmed
without opposition, however. and
roll call was demanded. The opposi-
ton is said to have been voiced by
Senators Borah of Idaho, Johnson OF
California and La Toilette OF Wiscon-
sin, all Republicans, who are said 10

his nomination.

votes were cast against confirmation.

son and La Toilette and Senator Wat
son, Democrat of Georgia. The final
vote was 60 to 4. An agreement was
reached not to make public the roll
call

| Taft will succeed the late Edward
Douglass White. whom he appointed
to the office in 1910.
II was indicated that President
Harding had acted so far in auvaEce
of the winter term of court because
he felt that the new chief justice
should have ample time to reorganize
the courts business before the con-
yening October l. Mr.. Harding is
said to have been advised by legal
officers of the administration that all
the federal courts are so congested
with business that prompt action dur
ing the summer recess was necessary
in order to expedite litigation as much
as possible.
Mr. Taft had not been apprised OF
his appointment by the president, II
was said at the White House, and the
first news he had of it came from the
press. The former president now l:
in Montreal, aiding in railway arbi
, tration for the Canadian government
: and is expected to return to the Unit
ed States to familiarize himself will
the work of the court.
High administration officials EN-
phasied that the former presiden
; was the one outstanding figur
: among those who might have beel
| considered for the place.
The Senate's doors were closed 10
: discussion of the nomination afte
, suggestions that Mr.. Taft be cor
firmed in "open executive sessio
because he is former president ha
been rejected by his opponents.
Three Republican senator's and on

THAT HE WILL CARRY OUT
WISHES OF CONGRESS.

tive Moore, Indiana, Republican, and
Representatives Campbell, Pennsyl-

the Senate in the Borah amendment.
n no mood for the extended deDaJe.
many members rose, applauding and
cheering, and began to chant "Vote,
vote, vote" They quieted down,
however. when Representative Mon
dell, Republican leader, had the clerk
read a letter he had received from
President Harding, in which the presi-
dent said it was wholly desirable" to
have the expression of a favorable
opinion on the part of Congress relat'
ing to world disarmament. The fet
ter said it was mot of particular con
Germ to the administration what form
the expression of Congress shall
take" After the reading of the let
ter, cheering broke out with renewed
vigor.

was confined to Mr. Mondell, Repre-
sentative Garrett of Tennessee, actins
Democratic leader, and Representa-
tives Byrnes, Democrat of South Gar
olina No attempt was made to OF
fer the Porter substitute, which wa
considered broader than the Boral
amendment because it would not re
