HINT OF A TAFT PROMISE,
Selection Viewed With Satisfaction by
Justices and Statesmen at Wash

Washington. April 20. Charles E
nughes, governor of Now York state
hns accepted President Taft's olTer ol
nn npiiulntment to the supreme court
bench, nnd his nomhmtlon Is now be
fore the Semite. !
This means that Mr. Hughes will re
sign from the governorship nnd that
Horace White of Syracuse will sue-,
ceed hhu In the executive chair nt Al
bany, i
It Is being suggested here that Presl-'
dent Taft may have assured Governoi
Hughes that he will be appointed chlcl 1
Justice In the event of a vacancy oc-1
currlng in the Taft administration.!
Such an understanding would explain
Governor Hughes' prompt acceptance .
of the offer. Mr. Tuft's close friends'
nnd advisers declare that they have .
bad no Intimation that any such sug
gestion was made to Governor Hughes, I
nnd they doubt If the president has
done this.
The public life of Governor Hughes
began only live years ago. IJefore that
be was llttb known outside of his pro
fession. Iu the live years that have
elapsed since his appointment as coun
sel to the Stevens 'investigation com
mittee he has mnde himself famous as
an investigator and as a governor who
bad no use for political bosses.
Governor Hughes was forty-eight
years old on April 11. He will be one
of the youngest men ever elevated to
the highest court of the nation. He
was born In Glens Palls, Is. Y., on
April 11. 1802. His father, the Iter.

u Baptist clergyman. Gorernor Hughes
attended public school 35 iu West
Thirteenth street in this city nnd at

eight, delivered the classical oration
and won a Phi Beta Kappa key. He
taught Greek and mathematics hi Del
aware academy at Delhi, N. Y.; stud
ied law iu the office of General Stew
art L. Woodford in this city, and at
Columbia and In 1884 was admitted to
the bar. Three years later he became
a member of the linn of Carter,
Hughes & Ciuvntli.
Mr. Hughes became professor of law
nt Cornell In 1891 and also n special
lecturer In the New York Law school.
In 1803 lie resumed the practice of law
in Ids old tirm, which became Carter,
Hughes & I) wight. In 1004, 0u the
dentil of Mr. Carter, the firm became
Hughes, Itiumds & Schurman.
It was in 1005 that the legislature
nppqlnted the commission headed by
Senator Stevens to Investigate tbo
price of gas. The commission chose
Mr. Hughes ns its couiisel, and his
public career may bo said to have be
gun then.
Albany, N. Y., April 20. Governor
Charles H. Hughes decided to accept
President Tuft's appointment as a
United States supreme court Justice In
preference to returning to the practlco
of the law in New York city. The
salary of gorernor Is $10,000 and that
of a United States supreme court Jus
tice $12,500, The latter salary Is to be
increased shortly to $17,500. Governor
Hughes feels that in accepting this Ufa
appointment from President Tuft that
he will bo able to lire within his In

IJIG TIME IX SUSQUEHAXXA.
Brilliant and Lusty Reception
for
Xeiv Stnte Treusurer.
Hon. C. F. Wright returned to his
home at Susquehanna Thursday
evening on Erie train No. 3, and was
warmly greeted on his" arrival. The
Susquehanna band, with the mem
bers of' Erie Hose No. 1, nnd the
chemical engine company in line,
followed by residents, escorted the
new state treasurer to his home on
West Main street. The members of
the reception committee, composed
of Rev. Father Broderick, M. H. j
Eisman and John D. Miller of Sus-1
quehanna, and Ralph B. Little of
Montrose, made short addresses.
Mr. Wright responded. The re-1
ception that was accorded him was
a complete surprise. The numbers
that turned out showed the respect
and esteem in which he Is held by
the people, regardless of party afflla
tions. Delegates were present from
Montrose, Hallstead, Great Bend,
New Milford and Binghamton to
Join in the demonstration.
On the hillside above the railroad
station blazing red, white and blue
fire outlined the word "Wright" in
large letters. All of the whistles
of the rillage, loudly blown, helped
to emphasize the reception.
THE WIDOW'S GIFT.
As an expression of her interest
in the State's work for the tuber
culous poor, Mrs. B. F. Jones, widow
fo the Pittsburg steel manufactur
er, has offered Health Commission
er Dixon her magnificent cottage
nnd grounds at Cresson. It . lies
close by the tract of land given the
Commonwealth by Andrew Carnegie
for Its Western Sanatorium for tub
erculosis, The cottage which is said to have
originally cost about $18,000, 1b
large enough to accommodate at
least twenty tuberculosis patients
and no time will be lost in getting
it ready for such occupancy. As
the cottage is in good repair this
will not take long bo that the bene
i fits of the high altitude and healthy
climate of Cresson will soon be en
1 Joyed by a number of poor suffer
! ers. In the meantime tho Sanitor
I lum buildings on the Carnegie
I tract will be rapidly pushed for
I ward.
The lot on which the 2-story
Jones' cottage stands is about 100
feet front and 150 feet deep. There
are In all thirteen bod-rooniB in the
building, most of them large and
comfortable, with big bay windows
into which the sun may pour Iib
healing rays. Wide porches almost
surround tho cottage. Hero the
patients may sit In their rest chairs
enjoying tho pure mountain air and
having a view of a surrounding
country whose scenic beauty Is un-
, surpassed.
j Mr, Jones' gift to tho Common
wealth, iiko mat oi Mr. uarnegiu,
Is particularly gratifying In that It
shows the complete confldenqo that
exists in tho State's pampalgn
against tuberculosis.

Sixteen persons, one of whom may
not lire, are conllned to their homes
at Newburgh as the result of pto-1
limine poisoning caused, It Is sup
posed, by eating a cocoanut pudding
at -i restaurant recently opened in I
that city by James H. Crooks. The
person in n dangerous condition is
Miss Elizabeth Fletcher. Among the
sufferers is Crook's wife.
The pudding, with a sauce of
whipped cream, was served Thurs
day among the desserts. Soon those
who had partaken of It became ill.
The first to notice the effects was
Henry M. Leonard, Treasurer of the
Columbus Trust Company. All the
rictlms required doctors' help.
Crooks recently had trouble with
his bakers, who went on strike, and
an attempt was made to connect the
labor difficulties and the poisoning.
But Crooks said he was convinced
the poisoning was caused by the
whipped cream and that the strike
had nothing to do with it. Physi
cians also' said there had been some
thing wrong with the cream.

DRIVENjra DEATH.
Despondent Woman Blames
"Malicious Magnetism."
FRIEND OF MRS. STETSON.
Miss Marion K. Stephens Ends Life
With Gas After Struggle Between
Loyalty to "Healer" and Church.
Efforts to Conceal Case.
New York, April 20. After every ef
fort had been made to conceal the fact.
It has been learned that Miss Marion
Stephens, tortured by her struggles
with her sense of duty and her loyalty
to Mrs. Augusta Stetson, the excom
municated leader of the First Church
of Christ. Scientist, and one of the most
successful "healers" of the church,
killed herself with gas last Saturday
night In the npartments of her sister,
Mrs. Weeks, at 520 West One Hundred
and Eleventh street. Her death was
reported to Coroner Felnberg, but so
far he has taken no action.
"Threo days ago," said an Intimate
friend of Miss Stephens, "Marion came
to nie and said, 'I cannot stand this
awful pressure any longer. It follows
me day and night. I love the church,
but something keeps holding me to
Mrs. Stetson. If I cannot break up
that Influence one way or the other I
shall take gas ami kill myself.' "
Though the death of Miss Stephens
was reported as a suicide, and there
fore lu ordinary course of events a
coroner's permit would be needed be
fore her body could be removed, It was
said that her body had been removed
to her home, which was in Tonnwandn.
for burial. Coroner Feinberg's clerks
said that he had Issued no permit.
Following the death of Harry P.
Toler, the Wall street broker, athlete
and Christian Scientist, whose suicide
shocked the whole Christian Science
community a year ago and was .attrib
uted to what Sirs. Stetson's opponents
called "malicious aulmul magnetism,"
the suicide of Miss Stephens created a
tremendous sensation when it was
whispered about the church. The of
ficers of the church and the few re
maining adherents of .Mrs. Stetson whn
worship In the Central Park West
temple united In endeavoring to keep
the news from the papers.
Miss Stephens wns one of the first
prominent members of the First church
to rebel against Mrs. Stetson, but later
resumed her allegiance to the deposed
leader. She took no active part In the.
battle Iu the church which resulted In
the deposition of Mrs. Stetson by
Mother Mary Glover Baker Eddy. Miss
Stephens was very much distressed by
the schism in the church and went to
Elmira, N. Y.. where she lived with
sister.
