2 HUGHES SLATED FOR CHIEF OF SUPREME COURT Death of Fuller Gives Taft Op portunity to Carry Out His Plans Public Announcement Is De« layed, Although Plans Have Been Revealed \u25a0 juMir*. Iygal provision is made for the temporary succession, the statute f specifying the senior associate justice as the one to preside when a vacancy ' occurs pending the appointment of a Death Was Unexpected HAR HARBOR, July 4. — The death of Ihe chief Justice was entirely unex pected, as he. had been in apparently good health lately, and there had been . no premonitory symptoms of any kind of trouble. Yesterday he attended church as usual and when he retired last night .he", was to all appearances In his customary health. Death came about 6 o'clock this • morning. His, daughter, Mrs. Nathaniel Francis, and Rev. Jame* E. Freeman, .who was a guest of Justice Fuller at his Sorrento cottage, Mainstay,' were with the jurist when he died. . For many years the chief justice had spent his Bummers at Sorrento, a siim nier colony located on Frenchman's bay, \u25a0 ' five, miles from Bar harbor. - The chief justice felt ill soon after ' daylight, arTd the members of the, house . hold were summoned and doctors \u25a0were sent for. Xothing could be done to avert death, however, and Justice Fuller •lied in the arms of Mrs. Francis. "Her . daughter. Miss Aubrey, also was pres ent. Jt was announced during the day that simple funeral cervices will be held in the chapel at Sorrento Wednesday, and the body will be taken to Chicago for interment. Mrs. Fuller, wife of the chief justice, died of heart failure in this same cot tage last-,August. Third in Length of Service ~ .WASHINGTON*. July 4.— To Chief Justice Fuller fell the honor of third rank for length <)f service as presid ing Judge in the highest tribunal of the American government. For T- years he was chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, but Chief .IhpiW Marshall presided over the court for 34 years and Chief- Justice Taney for 28 years. With the future rests the determination of his rank among: the eight chief justices of his tory for ability and accomplishments. Before Grover Cleveland sent his iianio to the senate on April 30, ISBS, for as chief justice, he wa« practically unknown except to mem !"rs of the legal profession. In Maine, -where he was born on February 11, 183". he had been known as a well be haved, rather scholarly lad. He had proni? to Bowdoin college and, inclJent \u25a0 ally, there won most of the prizes for . elocution. He had gone down to Har vard law school for one year. Politician and Editor *~ Finally he blossomed forth as a full fledged lawyer and politician of a high minded port in his native city of Au-. ;ri:st3. He became an associate editor on a democratic paper called The Age and about th<» same time was elected president of the city council and the city solicitor. Soon thereafter h*» left Maine for the greater opportunities of life in Chicago. From 1536 to ISSS he lived in" Chi cago, but attracted little attention out side his immediate circle of friends and associates at the bar until he undertook # th*> defense of Bishop Henry on a t-liarge of heresy. His knowledge of \u25a0 *»er»3?p?astical hffctory and procedure as tonished those who conducted the case .»nd iii,s argument of the cause of the bishop before the supreme court of •Illinois is referred to still as a forensic effort seldom,' if ever, surpassed in that '.court ~ . He was a delegate to the national conventions of the democratic party In . 3564. 1572. 1576 and 1880. Alaine Boy Accomplishes Much \. The Maine boy who had "gone west" \u25a0accomplished much, however, notwith standing his <}ulet life. He had laid -the foundations for a deep understand ing of the commercial laws of the coun try and along- this line he had per formed services for clients that wat .estimated to have netted him an an imal income of $30,000. Those ac complishments led the republican, sena tors from Illinois to urge on the demo cratic president the appointment of Fuller as the successor of Chief Jus • "tice Walte. , " The nomination of Fuller, then 56 \u25a0 ye?.rs old. was followed by a memorable " contest in the senate. . The judiciary committee with its republican majority, to which the nomination was sent April . 30, held up the appointment until July • 20. Then the committee reported it to the senate "without recommendation." Opposition in Senate For three hours that bo^y debated in jpxecutive session whether to confirm or reject the nomination. The attack on Fuller was led by Senators Edmunds, Ki-arts and Stewart. Senators Cullom «nd Farwell defended him. The reports that he had been a "copperhead" during the civil war and that he did not pos sess the requisite ability a.? a lawyer were gone over. Finally, by a vote of 41 to 20, his nomination was confirmed. Since that day the entire court, as it then existed, has passed away^with, the single exception of Justice Harlan. Of those prominent In the fight over his confirmation, only Senator Cullom remains, and President "Cleveland, who thus honored the Illinois lawyer, has •likewise gone to his grave. The service of Chief Justice Fuller -was noted for the dignity with which he filled the position. He preserved that manner, whether on the bench or off. it. Although small of stature,' not xnore than h feet 7 inches, his wealth of silvery hair and classic features Oiiade him a commanding flgrure wher ever he appeared. Jurist Like Mark Twain / Probably Mark Twain resemble** the chief Justice in . physical appearance more than any other man of prominence In recent years. Frequently the humorist was mis taken for the jurist. One day a young woman accosted Mark Twain In the street and, with fhe apology that she ; had never seen the chief Justice before, asked .for his autograph. The author wrote. "It is delicious to .be full. But it is heavenly, to be Fuller. I am cordially yours, "MELVILLE W. FULLER."

'Herrin's Address to Gregbn Students sist the mischief-producing power of public excitement. The danger of the, demagogue and his news paper is dwelt upon. All this is made the basis of admonition .against swift, short-cut changes, which, to a certain extent, undo ! our governmental system of checks and balances. In short, we are warned not to damage our com* j pass nor mutilate our charts when we. put out on a political sea. Constitution's Makeshifts . All this is true and timely, as an aid to legitimate conservatism and as a tonic to "political sanity, and j as such it is deserving of praise. If the fools who 'rush in where angels fear to tread are beginning to multiply the public should be warned. We should not lightly throw away the legacies of the ages. But in the long run, after all, constitutions and charters are but makeshift* of government. They have no peculiar sanctity in and of themselves. The attitude of men toward them will in the last analysis depend not upon any vir tue they are supposed to contain, but upon whether their working proves an aid or a hindrance to \ those great practical questions of Immediate moment upon which men have convictions and in the solu tion of which they have a direct interest. It must be understood in the first place that the late tendency to ward • "short cuts to political per fection" is of forced growth, and that for this tendency the apathy of conservatism, where it has not been guilty of worse, has been more than anything else to blame. Result of Abuses . The tendency to tinker with the constitutions and charters, the drift toward pure .lemocracy, li you will, has not arisen out of a mere intellectual restlessness or academic thirst for novelty. It has ! j I i I what he thought of Twain for playing that little joke on him. Chief Justice Fuller reflected to a ! great extent his research into litera ture by the style of his opinions and addresses. In earlier days, after go ing on the bench, he wrote some poetry and now and then lapsed into poetical touches in his opinions from the bench. • Sample of Judgment One of the best illustrations of this was the opinion he handed down In the case of Hammond vs. Hopkins. He ; concluded his opinion by saying: -In all cases where actual fraud is not made out, but the imputation rests on conjecture, where the seal of death has closed the lips of those whose char- j acter is involved and lapse of time has Impaired the recollection of transac- i tions and obscured th-lr details, the- j welfare of society demands the rigid enforcement of the rule of diligence. The hour glaes must supply the rav ages of the gcythe and those who have slept on their rights must be remitted to the repose from which they should not have been aroused." His death recalls his words on such events expressed at the centenary of the court 20 years ago: "Judges will be appointed," said he, "and will pass away. One generation -rapidly succeeds another. But who ever comes and whoever goes the court remains, keeping alive through many centuries we shall not Bee. the light that burns with a constant radiance on the high altar of American consti tutional justice." . Some Famous Decisions Chief Justice Fuller left an indelible stamp on the laws, of the country. Among his most famous opinions were the following: - The income tax decisions, in which the law was held to be unconstitutional. The Danbury hat case, in which labor unions were held to be amenable to the Sherman anti-trust law. The Western Union telegraph com pany vs. the commonwealth of Penn sylvania, in which the state was de nied the right to tax telegraph mes sages, except when intrastate. The Bank of Washington vs. Hume, in which the ineurable interest of the wife and children In the life of the hus band and father was recognized an dis tinguished from the claims of creditors. Inman vs. South Carolina, in which a railroad was denied the power to ex empt itself from liability for its neg ligence in the shipment of woods. Moore vs. Crawford, in which mar ried women were held to bear liabilities such as those growing out of the fraud ulent sale of land as well as the legal rights. Lelsy vs. Handin, in which the state was denied right over original pack ages Qf liquor in Interstate commerce, an opinion which led to the passage of the Wilson liquor law. . Tribute Paid by Taf t SOMERVIL.LE, Ma*s., July 4. — Presi dent Taft was seated in the big grand stand in Highland avenue reviewing the Independence day parade when the news of the death of Chief Justice Fuller was conveyed to him. ""I am greatly shocked and grieved," he said, "at the death of Chief Justice Fuller, for whom I had formed a warm attachment." ~ The president refused to comment on what action he would take. The president later In the day spoke at greater length on the death of Chief Justice Fuller. He said: "I learn of Justice Fuller's death with great regret. He was an old friend and a great judge. I had known him since 1890. when I was solicitor general, and our relations were always those of In timate friends. I had the highest re epect for his legal ability and his death is a great shock."
