CHIEF JUSTICE DEAD
MELVILLE FULLfeR, HEAD OF U.
8. SUPREME COURT SUD
DENLY EXPIRES.
HOLDS OFFICE FOR 22 YEARS
1
Death Comes From Heart Failure and
It also places in thti hands of Presi
dent Taft the privilege of naming his
successor, and the opportunity to ap
point a chief Justice of the United
States supreme court comes to but
few presidents.
Chief Justice Puller was a citizen
of Chicago and a member of the bar
of that city when he was appointed to
the supreme bench by President Cleve
land, In 1888, and it Is regarded In
political circles at the capital as high-
ly probable that, a Chicago man
Lloyd W. Bowers, now solicitor gen
eral of the United States—may be
placed on the supreme bench as a re
sult of the death of the chief justice.

sided oyer the court for 34 years and
Chief Justice Taney for 28 years.
With the future rests the determlna
Jtibn of his rank among the eight
ichief justices of history for ability and

MELVILLE WESTON FULLER
A
Was Wholly Unexpected and Re
moves One of Most Distinguished
Members of American Bench.
Washington, July 5.—^Chlef Justice
[Melville Weston Puller, for nearly
itwenty-two years the presiding officer
of the United States supreme court,
died suddenly July 4 at his summer
Ibome in Sorrento, Me: His death,
(which was .wholly, unexpected, was
{apparently, in excellent health for the
Hast few days.
The death of Chief Justice Fuller
removes one of the most distin
guished members of the American
bench and a. jurist whose abilities
were recognized and admired through
out the world.
1- S
S
»nd procedure astonished those who
oonducted the case, and his argument
of the cause of the bishop before the
supreme court of Illinois is referred to
stilll as a forensic effort seldom if ever
surpassed in that court.
He was "a delegate to the national
conventions of the Democratic party
In 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880.
The nomination of Mr. Fuller, then
flfty-fl've years of age, 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."
For three hours that body debated
In executive session whether to con
firm or reject the ridtniriatloni The
attack on Mr. Fuller was led by Sena
tors Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart,
Senators Cullom and Farwell defended
him.
•,The reports-that he had been a
l''cog^rhead''
during the Civil war
aria tS^t .he djid not' possess the re
quisite ability as a lawyer were gone
over.
His Great Victory.
"Finally, by a vote of 41 to 20, his
nomination tvas confirmed.
Sln.ce that day the entire:court, as
It then -existed, has passed away with
the single exception of Justice Har
lan. Of those prominent In the fight
over his confirmation only Senator
Cnllom remains, and President Cleve
land, who. thus honored the Illinois
lawyer, has likewise gone to his
grave.
•Throughout his service Chief Justice
Fuller was noted for the dignity with
which he filled the position. He pre
served that manner on the bench or
att.
Although small of stature, not more
than five feet seven inches, .his wealth
af silvery hair and classic features
made him a commanding figure wher
ever he appeared.
Chief Justice Fuller- leaves an in
delible stamp on the laws of the coun
try. Among his most famous opinions
are the following:
His Faomus Decisions.
The Income tax decision, in which
the Income tax law was held to be
unconstitutional.
The Danbury hat case, by which la
bor unions were held to be amenable
to the Sherman anti-trust law.
.The Western Union Telegraph com
pany versus the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, in which the state was
denied the right to tax telegraph mes
sages, except when interstate.
The Bank of Washington versus
Hume, In which the insurable' interest
of the wife and children in the life
of the husband and father was recog
nized as distinguished from the claims
of creditors.
Inman versus South Carolina Rail
way company, in which, the railroad
was denied the power to exempt it
self from liability for its negligence
in the shipment of goods.'
Moore versus Crawford, in which
married women were made to bear lia
bilities, such as those growing out of
the fraudulent sale of land, as well as
the leg$l rights.
Lelsy versus Haddin, in which the
state was denied rights over original
packages of liquor in interstate com
merce, an opinion which led to the
passage of the Wilson liquor law.
Climatic Differences.
Oii the coast of southeastern Alaska
the average annual precipitation is
about ninety Inches and trees grow
to a large size in the central plateau
the precipitation is less than fifteen
inches, Including the melted snow,
and the average size of timber is

Impossible, and those vast tundras are
covered chiefly with moss, sedges and

JEFFRIES PUT OUT
COLORED MAN PROVES HIM8ELF
SUPERIOR FIGHTER.
AGE OUTMATCHED BY YOUTH
rormer Champion Proves Unable to
Exchange Blows With the Husky
Colored Man, Now King of
the Prize Rftig.
By W. H. M'LAUGHLIN.
Reno, Nev.—Jack Johnson showed
that he is clearly entitled to be called
the greatest heavyweight fighter in
the history of the prize ring when he
knocked James J. Jeffries out in the
fifteen round of their encounter in
the arena here. A most remarkable
knockout it was. Near the close of
the round Johnson put in a left to
Jeff's jaw and followed it with a right.
This was right near Jeff's own corner.
The former champion staggered to the
floor of the ring and as he rolled over
the bell sounded. This, if noticed by
the ring officials, would have given
Jeff a chance to rest for the minute
Interval between rounds, but appar
ently everybody, principals, referee,
timekeepers, seconds and advisers had
lost their heads and the bout went on.
Johnson, setting himself as Jeff arose,
pounced on him again and pounded
him across the ring. Again and again
he sent Jell to the floor and through
the ropes in almost the same spot. Jim
Corbett, Abe' Attell, Roger Cornell and
Bob Armstrong boosted the semi-con
scious Jeff to his feet, but Johnson
was there once more and smashed him
a right to the jaw that sent him down
for keeps.
Jeff did not lose consciousness. He
had an awfully tired and sheepish look
as they half led, half carried him to
his corner, a brokenhearted, disap
pointed man on whom the agony of
defeat was written in lines more
"Jack" Johnson.
strongly than pen can portray.
As* soon as it was seen that the most
sensational contest of prize ring his
tory was over there was a scramble
for the ring. From every side the
crowd surged forward and climbing
over seats, and benches they swarmed
within the ropes. JefflT, bleeding from
a score of cuts and bruises, sat in his
corner trying to understand what his
seconds and other friends were telling
him.
"What's that?" was the burden of
his conversation, as he gazed about.
"Cheer up, Jim," said Corbett, "you
did the best you oould."
"Not a lot was it?" said Jeff a few
minutes later.
Jeff rested a few minutes before be
was able to steady himself enough to
make his way out of the ring and to
the room where his handlers took hold
of him and brough him back to condi
tion.
In the meantime, the police, the
deputy sheriffs and the special con
stables were having a hard time of it
trying to clear the ring. Chief Burke
of the Reno force hustled men off the
platform right and left. The deputies
and constables helped and soon the
platform was quite, clear. About' a
dozen men, with big wild west re
volvers, formed a guard around John
son as he left the ring to go to bis
quarters. There was not a sign of hos
tility toward the black as he worked
his way along one of the runways lead
ing from the ring, in fact it was ap
parent that his victory was neither a
surprise nor a disappointment to a big
crowd who watched the fight. As a
whole the fight was a very sorry
spectacle. Jeff never showed from the
start enough speed or skill. He did
not attempt to box with the negro.

CHARGED WITH KIDNAPING
MRS. MARGARET J. WILSON HELD
ON HUSBAND'S COMPLAINT.
Woman Retains Counsel and Prepares
to Fight Charge—Requisition
Demanded.
Providence, July 7.—Margaret J.
Wilson, of St. Paul, who recently open
ed a woman's apparel establishment
in this city, was arraigned before
Judge Rueckert in the sixth district
court under a fugitive-from-justice
warrant, charging her with the crime
of kidnaping in St. Paul. She pleaded
not guilty and gave bail in the sum
of $1,500 to appear for a hearing on
July 20. It is expected that the mat
ter will come before the governor in
the meantime on requisition papers.
The arraignment took place before a
special session of the court.
The complaint charges that she com
mitted the crime of kidnaping March
13, by unlawfully taking away from
St. Paul, her son, Mllo j. Wilson, aged
6 years, with intent to keep and con
ceal the boy from her husband, Fred
erick M. Wilson, -who has lawful con
trol over the child under an order of
the district court of Ramsey county,
Minnesota. This order, the complaint
recites, was in effect March 13, at the
time she is accused of fleeing with the
child from the jurisdiction of the state
of Minnesota to the state of Rhode
Island.
Woman Retains Counsel.
The fugitive-from-justice warrant
was sworn out by Deputy Sheriff
Charles C. Newhall. A similar war-,
rant was served Tuesday, but when
Mrs. Wilson was brought before Judge
Rueckert for arraignment, her counsel
General Charles A. Wilson, moved that
the complaint be quashed on the
ground that no surety had been given
to pay the costs of the proceedings.
A new warrant was sworn out, upon
which Mrs. Wilson was arraigned. She
pleaded not guilty and gave surety for
her appearance July 20. The com
plain! mentions only one child, al
though it 1b said Mrs. Wilson is the
mother of two children, the younger
being 5 years old.

THE IRISH STANDARD, SATURDAY. JULY 9, 1910
ROOSEVELT GIVES
DIRECT NOMINATION PLAN IS
FUNDAMENTALLY RIGHT,
HE SAYS.
BELIEVES N. Y. WILL INSIST ON IT
Admits There Is Danger When Law
is Crudely Applied.—Colonel Gen
erally Backs Up Hughes in
Editorial Article.
New York, July 7.—Ex-president
Roosevelt deals with Governor Hughes
the New York legislature and primary
reform in a signed editorial article in
the current number of the Outlook.
Mr. Roosevelt writes as follows:
"I believe that Governor Hughes has
been supported by the bulk of wisest
and most disinterested public opinion
as regards most of his measures and
positions, and I think that this has
been markedly the case as regards
direct primary nominations. I know
that many honest and sincere men are
on principle opposed to Governor
Hughes on this point and I know also
that the proposed reform will very
possibly accomplish less than its ex
treme advocates expect while I am
well aware, as of course, all thinking
men muBt be, that the worth of any
such measure in the last resort de
pends upon the character of the voters,
and that no patent device will ever
secure good government unless the
people themselves devote sutiicient
energy, time and judgment to make
the device work. Finally, I freely ad
mit that here and there where the
principle of direct nominations has
been applied in too crude shape or
wrong-headedly it has, while abolish
ing certain evils, produced or accentu
ated others—in certain cases, for in
stances, putting a premium upon the
lavish expenditure of money.
"But while I freely admit all this,
I nevertheless feel, in the first place,
that on the fundamental issue of di
rect party nominations the governor
is right and In the second place, that
as the measure finally came up for
action in the state legislature it was
well nigh free from all objections save
those of the men who object to it be
cause they are fundamentally opposed
to any change whatever in the desired
direction. The bill provided only for
direct popular action in the primaries
in relatively small geographical and
political communities, thereby making
the experiment first where there was
least liability to serious objection and
avoiding or deferring the task of deal
ing with those big communities where
the difficulties and dangers to be over
come would be greatest.
"The Republican party was in the
majority in both houses of the legis
lature which refused to carry out the
Republican governor's recommenda
tions and although it was only a
minority of the Republican members
which brought about this refusal, the
party cannot escape a measure of re
sponsibility for the failure but it is
only just to remember that a clear
majority of the Republican members
of each house supported the bill where
as three-fourths or over of the Dem
ocrats opposed it. This is one of the
cases where it is easier to apportion
individual than party responsibility.
"Those who believe that by their
action they have definitely checked the
movement for direct popular prima
ries are, in my judgment, mistaken.
In its essence, this is a movement to
make the government more demo
cratic, more responsive to the needs
and wishes of the people as a whole.
With our political machinery, It Is
essential to have an efficient party,
but the machinery ought to be suited
to democratic and not oligarchic cus
toms and habits. The question wheth
er in a self-governing republic we
shall have self-governing parties is
larger than the particular bill.
"There is no desire to break down
the responsibility of party organiza
tion under duly constituted party lead
ership, but there is a desire to make
this responsibility real and to give
the members of the party the right to
say whom they desire to execute this
leadership.
"I believe that the people of New
York state will, in the end, insist on
taking a more direct part in the nom
ination of candidates, because I be
lieve they will grow mora and more
to insist on just the kind of guidance
and leadership that I have mentioned."

—Port Wing in Danger
All Day.
Bayfield, Wis., July 6.—Cornucopia,
a town about 25 miles west of here,
on the south shore of Lake Superior,
is entirely surrounded by forest fires,
and there is no means of getting out
of the town except by boat. A tele
phone call for help came from there
and the steamer Barker left here be
fore noon to rescue the people of the
village should it be necessary.
About 7 p. m. the Barker returned
to Bayfield, having on board 35 wom
en and Children from the village.
When the boat left the village all
roads out of the village were cut off
and the flames werd) approaching the
town, being borne along by a strong
wind.
Cornucopia is a village of about 400
Inhabitants, many being employed in
saw mills.
Another Village Threatened.
Port Wing, a village of about 1,000
Inhabitants, 25 miles southwest of
here on Lake Superior, was also in
danger all day, being nearly surround

not so bad as at Cornucopia, as it
was possible to escape by road as
well as by water.
The camp of the Bayfield Mill com
pany, five miles west of Bayfield, was
entirely destroyed by flre, entailing a
considerable loss.
Fires have been raging on Madeline

WILL DELAY FILLING BENCH.
Hughes Still in Taft's Eye as Succes
sor to Justice Fuller, It Is Said.
Beverly, Mass., July 6.—There were
no developments in Beverly concern
ing the supreme court vacancies. Cal
ers at the summer White House found
nothing in the president's attitude to
change the statements of Monday that
Governor Hughes, of New York, is Just,
now filling Mr. Taft's eye to the exclu
sion of everybody else.
The understanding also continues
that the president will do nothing
itoward designating the successor to
Chief Justice Fuller until late in the
fall. A proposition to call the senate
in extraordinary session to confirm ap
pointees to the supreme court bench
in advance of the regular session of
congress was suggested, but mot with
no encouragement.
President Taft, in common with the
remaining justices of the supreme
court, is anxious that three important
cases scheduled for argument thiB fall
•—the Standard Oil, Tobacco and cor
poration tax—shall be heard by a full
bench. Consequently It Is not regard
ed as likely that he will select any
man against whom a question might
arise as to previous participation in
these cases.

'—Gale Strikes Show, But the
Crowd Escapes.
Minneapolis, July 7.—A wind storm,
accompanied by heavy rain, swept
western Minnesota and''eastern South
Dakota, causing some damage to smal^
buildings in several cities and villages
and slightly damaging the crops. The
storm seems to have followed a well
defined path west from Benson and
Madison, Minn., and the brunt of it
waB felt by Watertown, S. D., and'
vicinity. As far as can be ascertained
only one life was lost, and the only
persons injured are said to be em
ployes of the Ringling Bros.' circus,
which was exhibiting In Watertown.
Two are said to have had their arms
broken.
The body of an unidentified mha
killed in the storm
wsb
found In the
Great Northern yards at Watertown.
A Ringling circus meal ticket Is the
only clue to his identity. The Bhow
company has been wired for informa
tion regarding any missing man.
The circus was In progress when
the storm struck the big tent, but the
crowd dispersed in an orderly manner
and there was no a semblance of a
panic. The tent waB damaged by the.
wind and one of the clrcuB platforms
was burned as the result of an over
turned gasoline lamp blown out by the
wind. The damage was not sufficiently
great to prevent the circus from leav*
ing Watertown last night.
Wire Service 8uffers.
In the vicinity of Watertown tha
wind put the telegraph wires out of
commission, and the only communica
tion with that city was by means of
the telephone. This necessarily crip
pled traffic on the Great Northern and'
Minneapolis and St. Louis railroads
and all trains were routed with diffi
culty.
Thd storm seems to have branched
In the vicinity of Benson, one part of
it going west and south, the other
more directly south.
At Grover, a small town on tha
Great Northern west of Benson, half'
a dozen box cars were tossed off tha
track and the depot, damaged.
Benson suffered considerably from
wind. The Catholic church was struck
by lightning and badly damaged. The
roof of the city water tower was torn
off and carried several blocks. Wind
and flying timbers smashed windows
on every side.
Blocks of trees were torn up by tha
roots and traffic along the line of tha
Great Northern west of Benson was
greatly hampered by trees which had
lodged across the rails. A wrecking,
crew was sent from Willmar to clear
the track and repair the damage dona
at Grover.
Details from the Bcene of the storm
are meager on account of the inter
rupted telegraph service. South of
Watertown, on the South Dakota Cen
tral, the wind Is said to have blown
over three box cars standing on a sld«
ing.
In the vicinity of Madison, Minn.,
it was reported that four or five barns
were destroyed by the wind. A report
from Willmar says there was no dam
age in Kandiyohi county.
