This appointment was made to hold until Mr. Slack's regular commission arrives' from Washington. This will probably be some time during the first week of the New Year. The appointment by the court was necessary in order that Mr. Slack might be present and acting at the opening of the new term of court and the action was taken at the of the attorney general, the final commission simply being delayed until the senate can confirm. Mr. Slack received many New Year’s greetings from all over the state upon assuming office, and his appointment is looked upon as one of the strongest the two senators have made in Indiana. Frank C.

Shirley retired from practice at least for a time. W. H. H. Miller remains of counsel for the firm and the members are now Samuel D. Miller, Frank C. Dailey and William H.
