HUGO |. BLACK
VOTE RECORD
DISCLOSES
LEANING

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. U.P)-
Sen. Hugo l.. Black, D., Ala, 81
years old and President Roosevelt's
first nominee to the supreme court,
was revealed by his voting record
today to be 100 per cent New
Dealer who voted for all the ad-
ministration legislation outlawed
by the supreme court in 1934-35- 36.
lie believes in far reaching federal
authority in matters once reserved
to the states.
Black is friend of the farmer
and a more liberal spender than
Mr.. Roosevelt. He disapproved and
on occasion voted against large ma
tional defense appropriations. His
only recorded votes on army and
navy appropriation bills in the
past five years were mo- although
he frequently abstained from vot-
ing
But from the hurly burly of the
1888 special session, including the
Thomas currency initiation amend
ment. to the final last ditch vote
on Judiciary reorganization, Black
demonstrated almost perfect loyal
ty to New Deal legislation. He often
jouSted against "the power trust
and the fertilizer trust. He is an
advocate of government produc-
tion of electrical power and of
limited work week and minimum
wages.
Some conservative Democrats
consider Black to be radical and
may vote against his confirmation.
Republicans already have rumbled
a protest. And despite senate tradi-
tion, Blacks confirmation was de-
layed to permit committee inves-
tigation of his fitness.
A southern Democratic member
of the house blurted yesterday that
Black was "A Anarchist.
But the White House is confident
he soon will be sworn as Mr.. Roose-
velt's first supreme court appointee.
One paragraph of a speech de-
livered by Black on March "a in
New York indicates his ideas on
the constitution and its interpre-
tation.
Il conceive it not only the right
but the duty of congress-" he said,
"to protect the people of this ma
ton from usurpation of the peo-
pies power by bare majority of
a court clinging to a thoroughly
repudiated social and economic
philosophy"

fearful in expression, Carroll trav-
ersed the short distance from his
cell in the Wyoming penitentiary
death house to the small circular
chamber to pay with his life for the
murder in cold blood of Charles
C Barnard, Wyoming division su-
perintendent of the railway, who
previously had discharged Carroll
for drinking.
Warden Alex Mcpherson of the
penitentiary pulled the control lev
e. which dropped cyanide eggs into
bucket of sulphuric acid solution
below the death chair.
Witnesses outside the circular en-
closure saw the killers head jerk
spasmodically as the white misty
fumes reached his nostrils. Fourteen
minutes elapsed before Mcpherson
released another lever which open
ed a ceiling vent and set off VEN
tilating apparatus.

Bill The Bull Fighter

II must have been sight worth
seeing Thursday night when High
way Patrolman Bill Mitchell mount
ed his motorcycle and went out to
coerce a wild bull. The bull was
running at large on the highway
near McKim bridge and amusing
itself by charging every automobile
along the way. Interested parties
want to know whether Bill charged
the bull cowboy fashion from the
back of his motorcycle or adopted
the style dear to the hearts of Span

from a stance on his toes in the

As the deadly fumes rose about
them, both men appeared to breathe
easily and naturally. Others in the
past have held their breaths in a
last effort to prolong life.
A sigh and a slight coughing was
the only death struggle. Anderson
died first. five minutes after the
pellets dropped. Just before his head
dropped, he spat out the cigaret
on which he had continued putting.
The Negro died five minutes later.

President Roosevelt sprang one of
his characteristic dramatic coups on
the senate when he sent in the sur
prise nomination of Senator Hugo
Black Of Alabama to the supreme
court. Confronted with the dilem-
ma Of risking a doubtful recess
nomination or of throwing the clos
ing days Of congress and his own
legislative program into confusion
by precipitating long debate over
the confirmation of his nominee.
the president chose the short cut
of naming a member of the senate
itself. relying on the tradition that
such nominations are usually con-
firmed at once, without reference
TO a committee. as a matter Of
