The wacaiwy on the bench of the Supreme ffourt of the United States caused by '.lie death of^Tssoclate Justice Rufus Pcclthain. of New York, is the TOtsJect or much gos'slp In Washing ton just now. It is popularly speak* ing the most important matter which will confront President Taft upon his return to the Naflonal Capitol. The latest "frame-up" of well-ln rormed prophets here tonight names Horace H. Lurton, of Nashviile^iudge if the United States Circuit Court in the Sixth circuit, as most prob&bly Justice Peck ham's successor, with So licitor General Lloyd \V. Bowers, of the Department of Justice, as the probability for the next vacancy In the court. Mr: Bowers is thought by many to stand a very good chance of jetting this one. Favorite of PrcKlrientj Judge Lurton sat on the BaAe Ju dicial bench with Mr. Taft. and was the latter's choice for the vacancy that was later filled by the appoint- ' nient of Wm. H. Moody' of Massa chusetts. Mr. TafL was SonrPtary nf 1 War when he made, the recommenda tion of Mr. Lurton to President irortr dtsappotnfed when tils uld as iociate and intimate friend was not ippointod. Mr. Lurtoii Is now about >2 years old and would have ten -ears to serve before retirement. President Taft has. in the past, ex pressed some decided views about ge ographical limitations in appoint ments to that body. He has taken - the position that geographical con sideration should figure only when all )ther things are equal. This is his iresent attitude as described by. those n a position to know.
