Ex- President Quickly Confirmed U>
Senate Following Nomination—Meets
With Opposition.
Montreal. June 30.—“It- has been the
ambition of my life to he chief in
tier." William II Taft declared to
night. “hut now that it is gratified I
tremble to think whether I ran worthi
ly fill the position and he useful to the
country."
■Wnhsington. June 30. —Former I’res
blent William Howard Taft was nomi
nated late today by President Hard
ing to bo chief justice of the T’nited
State, and his nomination was eon
firmed by the Senate in executive ses
sion.
The nomination was not confirmed
Without opposition, however, and a roll
call demanded. The opposition is said
to have been voiced by Senators Borah
of Idaho Johnson of California and
I,a Collet to and Senator Watson, deni
oerat of Georgia The final vote was
flO to 4. An agreement was reached
not to make public the roll call.
Action Is Speedy.
The appointment was formally an
nounced late today at the White House.
Mr. Taft will succeed the late Edward
Douglass White, whom he appointed
to the office in 1010
Tt was indicated that President
Harding had acted so far In advance j
of the winter terra of court because he j
felt that the new chief Justice should ,
have ample time to reorganize the
court’s business before the convening
October 1. 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 during the summer
recess was necessary In order to expe
dite litigation as much as possible.
Mr. Taft had not been apprised of
his appointment tlie president, it
was said at the White House, and the
first news he had of it came from the
press The former president now is in
Montreal .aiding in a railway arbi
tration for the Canadian government,
and it expected to return to the Unit
ed States to familiarize himself with
the work of the court.
High administration officials empha
sized that the former president was the
one outstanding figure among those
who might have been considered for
the place.
Four Senators Oppose.
The Senate’s doors were closed for
discussion of the nomination after sng
gostions that Mr. Taft be confirmed In
“open executive’’ session because he Is
* former president had been rejected
by his opponents.
Three Republican senators and one
Democrat voted to prevent Mr. Taft
from achieving the cherished ambition
of his life They were: Borah of Ida
bo Johnson of California. La Follette
of Wisconsin. Republicans, and Torn
Watson of Georgia. Democrat.
Mr Taft's nominat'on to fill the \»
canev occasioned by the recent death
of Chief Justice Edward Douglas
White, was sent to the Senate early
in the afternoon. Immediately then
after a few rumblings of d ssat -fac
tion were heard from progressive lb
nuiiitcan senators, who have not rele-h
ed Mr. Taft politically since u.o
rous party split in H»12. But there
no revolt and an effort by Sena
tor Kellogg to bring about c-uifoma
tion without delay In the Indie:,,.
Omunittee was successfully eg..,com
When the committee reported h.
nomination favorably in exec,it v.
slon and unanimous consent was oh
tainod for Immediate consideration
then was brief debate. Senabu Knox
of Pennsylvania urged confirmation
from the Republican side and Senator
Underwood of Alabama the mmo.it>
leader, supported the nominal on from
the Democratic side.
Jtorali Leads Opposition.
Senator Borah made the 1'rmrpal
gpeech in opposition to confirms! on
He declared that Mr. Taft had been
separated from the law practice for
30 rears and had devoted most of M*
Ufe to politic. During his pol’tical
ca eer be said. Mr Taft had never
tried a case nor Prided as a Judge.
He also called attention to the fa. t
that Mr Taft if <53. within sev.n y a
of the judicial retirement age.
When Mr Taft left the White Mouse
Senator Borah said, he was unwilling
to risk his reputation at the bar.
“We took a great lawyer from the
bench and shoved him Into politics."
Mr Borah is reported to have said in
the executive session, referring to Sec
retary Hughes, "and now the Republl
can party is shoving a politician onto
the bench."
Senator Johnson spoke along slu'lar
line*.
The defense of Mr. Taft was led by
Democrats. Senator Underwood said
Mr. Taft had made himself "beloved by
tho South.” adding that this sentiment
was due largely to Mr Taft’s appoint
incut when president of a Southerner
the late Chief Justice White.—Gazette

JOHN HENGER SHOT BY
T. R. CARR LATE YESTERDAY
Late yesterday afternoon, T. K. Carr
shot John Hengen through the hip with

flicting a very painful but probably not
serious wound. The shooting occurred
In front of the New Capital Hotel, of
which Carr Is proprietor. Ilenger con
ducts the Capital Cafe, next door to the
hotel. The immediate cause of the
trouble yesterday according to eye wit
nesses, grew out of a controversy con
cerning some tacks thrown out in front
of the hotel, said to have been done for
the purpose of puncturing the tires of
certain automobiles hnbitually parking
there.
Hengen was talking to Bud Taylor
and W. H. Perry when Carr approach
ed him and demanded to know if lie
had said that Carr placed the tacks on
the ground in front of the hotel Hen
gen denied having made such a state
ment. but added, “If I had said it I
would stick to it because I am not
afraid of you.” The men were stand
ing close together when Carr quickly
drew his pistol and fired. W. II. Perry
made a grab for the gun, which effort
probably saved Hengen's life, the bill
let striking him in the hip and ranging
downward.
Night Marshall Will Goff was first
to the scene, placing Carr under ar
rest, while friends of the wounded man
rushed him to the hospital. Carr was
turned over to Sheriff Dodson, to whom
he furnished $1000 cash bond for his
nppearanee at the preliminary hearing
set for Friday of this week. Hon.
Steve Carrigan has been retained to
defend Carr.—Star of Hope.

BAD LICK AND THE
DEVIL PI'KSI'EII HIM
"I don't think any one lias had more
had luck and sickness than I have. In
1905 1 had two ribs, and arm and col
lar bone broken in a railroad accident.
Then 1 had pneumonia. After re
covering I crossed a pasture when a
bull chased me .tossed me over the
fence and broke my light leg. In 1910
I had typhoid fever ;since then severe
stomach and liver trouble, which no
medicine or doctor touched until two
years ago I got a bottle of Mayr’s
Wonderful Remedy, which proved the
first ray of light in thirteen years."
It is a simple, harmless preparation
that removes the catarrhal mucus from
the intestinal tract and allays the in
flammation which causes practically
nil stomach, liver and intestinal ail
ments, including appendicitis. One dose
