the latter was thought to have been his
final selection ' To' "hfcvs appointed Judge
Penlson, however, would have resulted
In making three circuit Judges from Michi
gan, whereas tfie president was anxious
fbr a more equitable distribution.
'It became known today that In making
ut the court of commerce, President Tart
seriously considered the appointment of In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Franklin
K. I.ane of California. To have appointed
Mr. Lane, however, would have taken
away two members of the commission at a
time ahen Its wortt ' promises to be of
greater Importance than at any time since
tlie commlssIiAi Was organised.
wki( Itrong Federalist.
'Justice White was strongly nrged for
promotion. In October last, just as ths
president was leaving the summer capital
at Beverly, It became Vn'own that he wat
seriously considering ills appointment as
chief Justice, and the Tact was sent out in
dirpatches at the time. When he was
a'ualn In Washington, however, the Hughes
nvlment grew stronger and all other can
didates seamed slimlnatetf from considera
tion, " ( ; . t 4 ;V : .
' .As a memUbr'trl the'uprm court it lias
fallen to Justice White's lot to participate
lit sums of the most famous cases In the
hlttory of the tribunal.. Although a con
federate Soldier and a democrat, ha Is said
ti probably hold the must clearly marked
ideas of federalism of any of the supremo
court Justices. He was With the govern
ment in all of the aecAlled Insular cases,
involving the Philippines and . other Island
possessions.
He rendered a minority opinion against
the government's contentions In the North
ern Securities case and was also with the
minority of the court In voting to sustain
the constitutionality of the Income tax law.
Justice White ha . been On the supreme
court bench (or sixteen years and is now
the oldest Justice In commission whose" age
la less than 70. lq graduated from George
town university. In addition to practicing
luw In Louisiana he was a sugar planter.
Hi served In the Louisiana legislature as a
senator, served for-ereral jeara on the
state supreme bench .and subsequently was
elected to the lulled States senate. He
was serving his first term in that body
when President OleoJand apyolnted him
to the supreme court. . ..
Judfie Vantevanter participated in the
now famous Standard Oil decision rendered
In the Kighth circuit. Mr. Taft debated for
some time as to the propriety of taking a
Judge from this circuit and elevat ng him
to Uie supreme bench, wltere he must pass,
again upon the evidence la those eases.
But. as courts often, reverse themselves,
Mr. Taft fell that if aew ev'denre justified
such a course, a ,mi might also reverse
himself. Judge Vandcvanter Is regarded
as eminently fair and Just. Those were the
iultiea the president was seeking In his
candidates. He is ragarded a a high Au
thor ty In land cases. He erved on the
Wyoming supreme court for several years
and for seven years waa sn assistant attor
ney general.
Judge Lamar of Georgia, the democrat
who la said to have been selected, has per
sonally been known to the president for a
number of years. Mr. Taft early decided
that - one of the new associate Justices
should be a democrat. Judge Lamar
served two and a half years on the su
preme court of Georgia and now Is one of
the leading members of the southern bar.
His appointment w II bring the demo
cratic representation In the supreme rourt
up to three members, the others being the
new chief Jusfce, Mr. White, and Mr. Jus
tice Lurton Of Tennessee. The total mem
bership of the court Is nine.

Coining ftom a family ' wf Judges, his

In IIWI Mr. White became a national figure
A' senatorial contest was waged. 4n Louisi
ana. Mr. White entered the race. Ha had
managed the campaign of Governor Nichols
for re-election and had been prominent In
the reform element of his state. He had
fought vigorously in favor ot the anti-lottery
movement. The legislature finally chose
him to succeed Senator Kustls.
Justice White was In the senate three
years before he was elevated to he bench
of the supreme court of the United Btates
by President Cleveland, fn 1894. In that
period he had distinguished himself on two
occasions. Once was In the debate of the
anti-option law, when Senator White made
a profound legal argument against the con
stitutionality of tbo measure. ' i
The other occasion was in the struasla
over the repal cf the Sherman act, when he
advocated the views President Cleveland
was known to entertain on the subject. His
nomination to the bench ended' a ' memo
rable contest In the senate.
Two New Yorkers had been nominated
by President Cleveland, but both failed of
confirmation. Throwing to the winds the
custom which for eighty years had kept
a New York man on the bench. Mr. Cleve

ONE LONG STORY OF FRAUDS
Annual Report of Attorney General

SUITS PENDING AGAINST TRUSTS

WASHIXOTOX, Pec. 12. The annual re
ft' rt of Attorney Gene'-al Wlckersham, pre
sented to ronpress today, 1 one long story
of frauds aaalnst the a-overnment.
Tni.t. so-called and real, their alle-ed
ninplin-le to defeat the law; land frauds,
custom frauds, fraud on the Internal
revenue, rebate, bucket shops and fraudu
lent uses of the malla have made 1P10 the
most atrocious year In the history of the
Department of Justice. Mr. Wlrkereham
states that only the earnest a-nd enthusi
astic Work 'of the men of Me force haa
j made the work siiecewnf ul.
i "The salaries fA'd r small," he saya,
I "and the funds available for speHal coun
I sel do not permit the payment of fees which
bear any comparison with those offered by
private Interests. But, notwithstanding
thee obstacles, the department Is fortu
nate In having been able to secure the ser
vices of earnest and competent lawyers to
whose ability and Industry are due the
very' measure of success that has attended
the management of the legal business of
thf government during the year.
Maay Anils Are Pending.
Precaution for violation of the ajitl-trust
law were foremost in the work of the year.
Actions, says the attorney general, are now
tinder way or pending against the follow
ing socalled trusts:
Tobacco trust.
Standard Oil company.
Sunar trust. .
Harrlman lines.
Hard t'oal trust.
. Powder trust.
Terminal Railway Association
.
of St.
T.nuls.
Towing trust on the Great lAkes.
James A. Patton and others for an alleged
corner In cotton.
Peef trust.
Wholesale Grocers' trust
Putter and Egg trust.
Rrlrk trust.
Bath Tub trust.
The following convictions were secured
and fines Imposed during the year:
Paper trust, fined tr.7,000.
Night riders, fined $3.fi00.
Window glass trust, fined $10,000.
After the attorney general's report came
from the press, however, the American
Naval Stores company, known as the Tur
pentine trust, and six co-defendants were
convicted of violations of the anti-trust
law. Two of the Individual defendants
were sentenced to three months each in
Jail and tinea aggregating $37,600 were Im
posed. Prosecutions of the Sugar trust frauds
raw augar recovered for the 'government
S3.1S0. 163.HS. Convictions and sentences of
individuals, still fresh In the public mind,
were secured.
Most extensive of all frauds against the
government yet discovered are thos n
the undervaluation of Imports Into the
United States. The extent of the treasury
losses can only be conjectured. Every step
of ths Investigation shows fresh leads.
'There are now suits under way to re
cover 1700,000 of which the customs revenue
Is aald to have been defrauded In Imports
of cheese and figs from Mediterranean
ports; indictments are pending, and some
convictions have -been Secured. A highly
organised system to defraud the govern
ment haa been disclosed.
More than thirty Individual Indictments
af; pending; against persons charge . with,
upon the government in the 'weighing- of
ajnuggtina With "aleeper ti-uoka." Offers
of compromise ahd prayers for Immunity
Are In the hands' of the attorney general
from several firms of Importers, who have
confessed to frauds In undervaluations.
"The conditions disclosed seem to indi
cate a very general practice of under
valuations," says the attorney general,
"and a very lax administration of the cus-.
toms laws In the past, which has subjected
the government to a very material loss
of revenue. A general investigation Into
the subject of frauds by undervaluation ha
only commenced, and this branch .of the
subject will now be pressed vigorously."
i ne attorney general recommends that a
general Immunity statute, such as exists
under the Interstate commerce laws, should
be enacted to apply to criminal prosecu
tions generally, but saya such a statute
should only protect a witness from the
consequence of the testimony he Is about
to give.
Twenty-five criminal Indictments charg
ing rebating and other Illegal discrimina
tions are pending against railroads, private
corporations and Individuals. Two convio
tlons with fines were secured during the
year.
Land Fraud Pruaecatloa.
Land frauds are probably entitled to a
place with the customs frauds and viola
tions of the anti-trust law. The depart
ment won signal victories during the year
against unlawful fencing of the public do
main. In thirty-eight civil suits and twenty-eight
criminal prosecutions more than
400,000 acres of land Illegally fenced were
restored to the government.
Prosecutions against the Oregon ft Cali
fornia railroad company and forty-five
ether defendants to recover 2,300,000 acres
of land, valued at J60.000.000, which the
government claims are itlll Illegally held,
are now pending. There are ; also under
way twenty-four suits against the Central
Paclflo Railway compaiy and others to
recover thousands of acres of valuable
lands, which, the government contends,
were Illegally patented, probably with the
private knowledge that they were valuable
for the mineral and oils underneath.
in the department's campaign against
bucket shops, 860 such places were closed,
others voluntarily closed as a result of
the crusade, and Indictments are pending
against men and corporations and the
telegraph company which allowed tho use
of lta wlrea.
The bureau of investigation, which hat
built up an efficient secret police, began
raids on firms charged with using the mails
for fraudulent purposes. The attorney gen
eral recommends legislation to permit the
areata of that bureau to administer oaths
and serve processes.
Mlllloaa la Fines.
During the year there were 15 371 crim
inal cases of all sorts in the l ulled eUairs
courts, which produced fines, forfeitures
and penaitles aggregating S1.0S3.374.
Mr. Wickersham recommends legislation
to give the right of appeal In Indian cases,
a law for the Issue of search warrants for
; property stolen from the government; that
fecial Judges be ullontsl traveling ex
penses within- their own districts and that
the salaries of all federal Justices be In
creased. He also recommends that the
statute of limitations In customs frauds bo
txtsuued from three to five years. The sl
lorney geneiai also recommends legulalluu
to permit the I'nlted ISuites to hue and
prosecute un offending corporation wher
ever that corporation may do business.

Bribery in Lorimer
Election Not Proven,
Declares Committee
Chargei Unsubstantiated by Evidence
is Report to Be Made to the
Senate.
WASHINGTON. D e. 12 The subcom
mittee of the senate which has been In
vestigating the charges of bribery In con
nection with the election of Senator Wll
llnnr Ixirimer of Illinois today decided
unanimously the testimony did not prove
any of the charges made.
The committee took up the evidence In
its entirety at an executive session. It
canvassed th testimony, weighed the evi
dence and the arguments and took Into
consideration all the facta that have been
advanced In conncution with the charges
concerning the lxrlmer election.-The mem
bers deckled there had been shown no
foundation for the charges that bribery had
entered Into the election.
The motion finally waa offered to report
p the full committee of the senate.
On thla motion there- was no dissenting
vote. Following this action the subcom
mittee's report will, be prepared for the
full committee at once and will be sent to
the senate within a short time.
