VERY POPULAR WAS LATE JOi HARLAN Former Supreme Court Justice Was a Man of Very Broad Humor.

BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 Habitues bf the U. S. Supreme court will long lament Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan. Now that the court has reconvened after following the distinguished jurist to his last resting place, the mournful vacancy of Justice Harlan's chair is accentuated, and those tvho have been accustomed for decades to the genial influence of the Harlan personality miss it. The deceased jurist's habit of joking vlth his colleagues endeared him to 11. His humor showed more than once on the ben:h while the court was wrestling with knotty questions of grave national importance. On one occasion he opened his eyes, which he was in the habit of keplng closed a great deal as he followed the arguments, and beckoned an attendant. If whispered into the attendant's ear something that was repeated in the same quiet manner to Chief Justice White. Justice Harlan's plug of tobacco had succumbf'd to hard usage, and he wished to try the Chief Justice's brand. "Go back with my compliments and tell Harlan I say no more until he pays back that chew he borrowed the other day,'" replied the head of the bench. This story got abroad and Justice Harlan repaid the loss in kind. A few days, later, when the Chief Justice made a request for a part of a bunch of mint which had been presented to Justice Harlan by a woman admirer, the latter sent back word that he would assume the risk if he thought it likely that any lady would fall in love with the Chief Justice and bestow upon him enough of the fragrant mint to enable him to pay the loan. Justice Harlan preserved and treasured until his death a resolution of the Lime-Kiln club, a colored aggregation, upon on of his strong dissenting opinions, for which he Is noted. A copy was mailed to the justice, and is In the following words: "Resolved, dat dis Lime-Kiln club as de representative of 5.000,000 cull'd people am much obleeged to Justice Harlan for his sound, solid an' car'fully prepar'd dissentin' opinion in de civil right cage." Justice Harlan was a giant physically as well as mentally, and the Supreme court bench has been known to vibrate as he pounded out his emphatic dissent from the majority's conclusions on points of constitutional law. There are still some on the supreme bench who heard him deliver hti celebrated dissenting opinion In the Income tax in 1895. Justice Harlan's chair will be vacant, at least until Congress convenes In December. President Taft has announced that he will make no appointment to the vacancy until that time. In doing so he followed the custom of the rtesldents in regard to vacancies on the Supreme court bench. It Is thought that the Chief Executive will send his appointment to the Senate on the first day of the session for confirmation. Until then the President's choice probably will be purely peculation as far as the public is concerned. He has been non-committal, even to his closest personal friends, in other judicial appointments. The appointment of Justice Harlan's successor is already an absorbing subject in Washington, and several names have been prominently mentioned in connection with the place. Effort already has been made to create the impression that no Democrat need apply, that President Taft will name a Republican. The fact that he has already appointed two Democrats to the highest bench and made Edward Douglas White, a Democrat, Chief Justice, appears to be the foundation for this rumor, since no other intimation has come to the front that the appointment will be Influenced In the least by political considerations. The President has confidently and publicly acknowledged his sense of his own responsibility for Supreme court appointments, and his knowledge of the judicial material throughout the country is well known. The prevailing opinion seems to be that his selection will be influenced by merit alone. There are some who are seeking to add a geographical consideration to the matter. Some expect that an Easterner and others than a Westerner will be favored. The President's closest friends think he will appoint Charles Nagel, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, to fill the vacancy. Solicitor General Lehmann seems to have the better of the guessing however. In the Department of Justice big odds are being laid on him. It is believed here that he would not have come to Washington for the solicitor generalship alone, but that he has already been favorably considered for the Supreme court bench. These two names are conspicuous in the talk as it is well known that the President esteems both men as great lawyers. Both hall from St. Louts. Judge Albert C. Cox. of the Circuit court bench of New York, is still well tip In the race, however, as far as the guessing goes. He also is highly esteemed at the White House. His dedication some time ago of the chief justiceship of the Commerce court Is regarded as significant. If the President should draw upon the far west for Justice Harlan's successor, it is believed here that either Senator Sutherland, of Utah, or Senator Borah, of Idaho, will be the lucky

WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS

No woman can decorate her head with false hair in the shape of rats, puffs, switches and transformations and make it appear natural. Hair growing on the scalp it adorns is the only kind that always looks right. There is a grace and beauty in natural hair which is not to be mistaken. Newbro's Herpicide permits the luxuriant growth of beautiful hair. It kills the dandruff germ, preserves the hair and gives it the life and brightness of true hair health. Every woman may have beautiful, glorious hair growing on her own head. There is no secret about it use Newbro's Herpicide.

Of the names that have been brought in from that faraway section these two are the most conspicuous. There will be an insistant demand made on President Taft that he appoint a progressive as Justice Harlan's successor. Both Democratic and Republican progressive senators intend to tell the President plainly that there will be absolutely no chance for confirmation by the Senate of the nomination of a reactionary type of justice. These liberal, or radical senators, are determined that the dead justice's seat shall be filled by a progressive type of judge. Some of the progressive senators have not hesitated to openly state that the appointment of a reactionary by the President will not meet with official approval of the Senate. As an objection by one Senator to a confirmation by the Senate in executive session can hold up that confirmation, it is seen that the progressives, if they stick by their announced intention, will be either able to dragoon President Taft in appointing the kind of a man they want, or by holding up the appointment prevent the vacancy from being filled until there is a Democratic president, as now seems likely after 1912. These senators evidently have the whip hand over the President in the situation. Of course all this may be mere talk, and when the President sends in the nomination in December it may be promptly confirmed, whether the appointee is reactionary or progressive. Senators who are urging this point claim that the attention of the whole is focused on the Supreme court as never before, and the attitude of the court toward the great trusts is causing the people to watch this tribunal with a jealous eye Of course nobody knows whether Mr. Taft intends to appoint a reactionary type to the vacancy or not, but the progressives believe that he will do so, If possible. They base their beliefs on his other appointments. Mr. Taft, however, is not worrying over the question at present, being too busy with his "fence fixing" on his "swing around the circle."

"The Bamma Girls," the big feature number of the coming week's bill at the Murray possesses all the qualities of a regular musical comedy, clever principals, pretty girls, catchy music and pretty dancing numbers. Miss Josephine Fields who plays the leading part has a character which fits her personality perfectly, and the comedy pole in the hands of W. J. McGraw is a scream. Besides these two principals there are six young girls who sing and dance and who comprise the chorus. The act is well and neatly dressed, carrying all of their own special scenery. A game of snow ball between the chorus and the audience creates a great deal of fun and in fact all of the numbers are novelties. Harvard Judge, comedian, has a novelty to offer in a dancing and musical act which he performs from the top of a ladder. The act is new and clever. That jolly singer Mae Taylor comes to us with a line of new songs and incidentally she is popularizing Will Rossiter's new song hit, "I'd Love To Live in Loveland With a Girl Like You." Miss Taylor has a soprano voice most beautifully clear and sweet, and will no doubt be a favorite. Sylvester and Vance another clever team, are offering a real original German comedy skit. They are a very classy couple and hard to beat in their line. "Dear Old Billy."

don players will be the offering in a three act farce by a noted English writer, W. H. Risque. The title of the piece is "Dear Old Billy" and concerns the dilemmas of a good natured and kindly old gentleman who has submitted for twenty years to being perpetually nagged by a domineering wife, but who, like the proverbial work, at last turns, and decides to legally rid himself of the virage. The articles of separation stipulate that he is to pay her annually seven hun-

' dred and fifty pounds, and it is disj tinctly understood that, should they jbe so unhappy as to meet she is not to speak to him, annoy or interfere with him, nor make known in any manner their relationship to each other. Through an oversight, however, there is no clause in the docu ment of separation that prevents her being wherever he is, and this technicality she takes advantage of in most thorough fashion never failing to be on the spot whenever an unkind fate places her husband in an emharassing situation, which happens frequently, as Dear Old Billy, being a genial soul, has attracted the attention of numerous well-meaning females who all want to minister to his wants, and. being loth to give offense, submits, with results that invariably place him in compromising positions. The critics, the public and theatrical manager of reputation of experience, who saw Mr. Hawtrey and his excellent company in this play during their four months run in Chicago, part of which endured through a hot wave that succeeded in closing the doors of all but three theaters in that city, unhesitatingly declare that a more capable or better balanced company has not been assembled in many years. To assist Mr. Hawtrey in presenting one of the cleanest, crispest and most wholesomely funny farces that has ever been brought to America; not even excepting "The Private Secretary," "Charley's Aunt," or "Jane." Mr. A. G. Delamater has selected a company that includes E. H. Kelly, formerly with Sir Henry Irving; George Stuart Christie, formely leading man with Bertha Kalisch; Bernard Fairfax, formerly with John Drew; Harry Redding, formerly leading juvenile with William Faversham; Harry Lonsdale, formeriy with E. S. Willard; Miss Jane Burby, eight seasons with May Irwin; Miss Cassie Jamieson, formerly with Beerbohm Tree; Miss Ruth Tomlinson with the Mary Mannering Co., Miss Laura Clement, for the past three seasons with Billie Burke; and Miss Mary Morrell.

CONGRESS SHOULD ASSISUICHMOIID A Spokane City Official Is Target for Minister's Barbed Replies. (Palladium Special.) INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 28. An order giving the Indianapolis city health authorities power to proceed with their investigations toward the adoption of a plan for improved sewage disposal, was the outcome of the special session of the Indiana State Board of Health, called yesterday at the state capital. Included in the order was the request that the city experts report to the state board not later than the first of next June. The city officers are anxious to clean up White River and the other streams of the district which are polluting the water below Indianapolis, and have been all the time in sympathy with the state officials, but could not act until the state ordered them to proceed. The Indianapolis board of health has made a careful study of the system used in other cities of the world during the past two weeks, and will now endeavor to apply the best methods of sewage disposal to local conditions. Dr. T. Henry Davis, of Richmond, vice president of the state board, said Richmond is in need of some legislation in the matter, for the factories in that city are pouring waste into the Whitewater that is killing the fish and polluting the water form any miles below the town. However, as Whitewater finds its origin in Ohio, no action can be taken until congress takes some action.

PLA YS AND PLA YERS "ZIEGFIELD'S FOLLIES" INDIANAPOLIS. That big organization known as the "Ziegfield Follies," with its wonderful company and famous chorus will be the attraction extraordinary all week, starting Monday, October 30, at English's. Ziegfield, conceded to be the greatest musical comedy producer of America, and originator of the "Jardin de Paris" Revues, has excelled himself in this, his latest concoction. In fact, is is two shows in one. The cast is i one in which the names of many i stars and former "Follies" favorites is to be found. The list includes Bessie McCoy, Bert Williams and the famous Ziegfield Beauty chorus. The "Ziegfield Follies" is in two acts and sixteen scenes. Words and Lyrics by George V. Hobart. Music by Maurice Levi and Raymond Hubbell, and staged by Julian Mitchell, under the personal supervision of Mr. Ziegfeld. Musical numbers were arranged by Gus Sohlke and Jack Mason. Some of the season's Follies song hits are "The Widow Wood," "The Bumble Bee," The Girl in Pink," "The Imitation Rag," "Take Care, Little Girl," "Texas Tommy," "Ephriham," Advice to Those of Baggy Cheek and Chin (From Pilgrim Magazine) Let the woman whose cheek muscles are beginning to sag and who by the same token is acquiring a double chin, remember to keep her head up, is the advice of a celebrated beauty expert. Let her bathe her face, neck and chin in a solution made by dissolving an ounce of saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. The result will surprise her, the lotion being so quickly effective. This treatment tightens and reduces skin and muscles,, also strengthening and toning up the same. Naturally the tightening effect disperses wrinkles and furrows. The lotion is very refreshing. Be sure to ask the druggist for the powdered saxolite. CYCLONES and WINDSTORMS WILL COME but D0UGAN, JENKINS & CO. Will Protect You Against Loss From Them. PHONE 1330. Room 1, I. O. O. F.

PLAY PIRACY. Klaw and Erlanger are beginning a very active fight against play piracy in connection with three of their prominent successes "The Pink Lady," "Ben-Hur" and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." Within six months there have been four of the smaller repertory managers who have attempted to make productions of spurious dramatizations of "Rebecca of Sunlybrook Farm," but in each case they have been caught and stopped. Klaw and Erlanger succeeded last year in obtaining an injunction in the United States Circuit Court and on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals, preventing managers of picture houses from presenting the films which show the race scene in "Ben-Hur" ajid other portions of that celebrated dramatization of Lew Wallace's well known tale. In two instances manager violating the injunction have been sent to jail for short terms. The present activity is brought by the efforts of vaudeville performers and the smaller musical shows to give colorable imitations of the music and action of "The Pink Lady." Klaw and Erlanger will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law both civilly and criminally all persons who attempt to use any portion of "The Pink Lady" or any unauthorized dramatization of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" or "Ben-Hur." THEATRICAL PERSONALS. William J. Kelly has been engaged to play his old role of Messala in "Ben-Hur." Geraldine Bonner's play, "Bob's Sister," had a production in New Haven recently and scored well. E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe have received a tempting offer to make a tour of the far East in classic drama. Walker Whiteside has begun rehearsals of the play "The Magic Melody," with which he will shortly begin an extensive tour. Richard Harding Davis has written a one-act play called "Blackmail," which is to have an early production in New York.
