HUGHES APPOINTED .(-.. . r - " ' " - mvACM E8X tlzti ncH H ' Deity? Brewer COURT IS PLEASED The Appointment Was Not Unexpect- ' ed. Nevertheless' There Is an Ele- .' mont of Surprise That the Govern. or Would Accept los Do tt i ' Sacrifice to His Personal Fortune anU Also. Eliminates Himself From Politics Court Members Express Pleasure' Political Chaos , at Albany. ; (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, April 26 The nomi nation bf Governor Chas. E. Hughes, of New York, to ths vacancy on the United States supreme court bench caused by the death of Justice Brew er, made by President Taft late yes terday afternoon was not entirely un expected In Washington, in view of the fact that Governor Hughes' name has been mentioned as one of the pos sible appointees, but It was not be lieved the governor would consent to completely eliminate himself for all time from the political field. With the appointment of Governor Hughes it is felt here that the republican sit uation in New York state is nqt clari fied, but rather made more complex, for not only will Governor Hughes' political enemies, hail his retirement with much 'satisfaction for the reason that with him out of the way for all time, but with his retirement from the executive office in October the "machine" will have an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Lieutenant Governor .White, a strong machine man, will, be governor for more than five months. What effect, if any, Governor H4ghes' retirement from New York politps will have on New York state and also on national politics, remains to be seen. It is thought here that President Taft In nominating Governor Hughes did a stroke of business for himself, . lur witn nugnes on me Dencn mere will be one less possible rival repub lican candidate for the presidential nomination1 next year as President Taft, it Is believed, will seek u re nominatlon. . That the.1 appointment gives satis faction is evident from the comments made today by leading officials. President Taft said: "I am very much delighted to se cure Governor Hughes for the bench. He is a man of wide experience and marked ability, and it Is a mighty valuable thing to have on the great bench of the supreme court a man of affairs. Governor Hughes Is 4 8 years old, I thind, and even If he should retire at 70, he will have had 22 years of solid usefulness on the bench." . , (Continued on Page Two.) BLUEFIELDS IN.

Swope, millionaire philantrophist, put. Miss Elizabeth Gordon, a nurse. to a severe test of memory today when she took the witness stand for cross-examination. The defense sought to show by the witness that poison was not injected Into the system of Margaret Swope, hpr patient, by means of a hypoder mic syringe. Miss Swope, in her tes timony yesterday, inferentlally charged the physician with inoculat ing her with some form of disease or poison. " -. . Mrs. Hyde, the pretty and selt-sac-. rificing wife of the defendant, ap- lared sad when she entered the court room today. She. sat but a short distance from her aged mother, Mrs. Logan Swope. Were it not for the silvery hair of the elder woman it would be difficult to tell the daugh ter from the mother, so far as fea tures are concerned. Both show signs of suffering and the lines in their faces seem to grow deeper daily. " Miss Margaret Swope, sister of the sad little wife, appeared early to hear as much of the case as she eould. Heretofore she has been ex cluded from the room because she was to be a witness. Miss Gordon was asked whether Dr., G. T. Twyman gave orders to destroy all medicines in the house following her illness and was not al lowed to answer ntitll after an hour's argument. . "What did he say about the medi cines?"

"You say that after Chrisman Swope was seiz.ed you saw Dr. Hyde give him an injection hypodermi c-ally.: tislng for that purpose water from a dirty basin?" he asked. "I did." " "And you didn't say anything to him?" . : 'No; a nurse never criticises a doc tor or questions his, actions." "Did you not destroy a quantity of medicine that came from the negro doctor, Jordan?" -: "Yes." Just before Miss Gordon's cross examination was finished-'.-she '-.-.was asked by Prosecutor Heed: "Have you received any intima tion, Miss Gordon, that the defense, of B. (Mark Hyde has been tapping telephones-so' that they 'might over hear telephone conversations?" ' The question caused 'a .commotion in court and the accused doctor's at torneys united in denyiyng that they had been guilty of such practices. HENDERSON'' NEWS NOTES.

(By Cable to The Times.) Paris, April 26 One of the most splendid receptions ever held at an embassy in Paris today divided the -attention of Theodore Roosevelt with the aviation meet at Issy-Les-Moulin- eaux, on the outskirts of Paris. Mr. Roosevelt accepted the' invitation to the meet in his capacity of honorary president of the academy of sports. One of the stars of the meet is M. Dubonnet, who plans to attempt the $50,000 flight from London to Man chester within a short time if it is not accomplihed in the meantime. The reception at the embassy was given in order that members of the diplomatic corps, representatives of the army and navy . and other branches of the government, and par ticularly -artists, writers,- scientists and members of the institute might have opportunity to have a more luti-t mate meeting .with Mr. Roosevelt than the other events of his busy pro gram allowed. It was largely given up,- however, to the literary and artistic element. France's foremost writers, painters and sculptors had been invited and the gathering was brilliant. Mr. Roosevelt showed familiarity with French literature and art, not only of the past but of the present day. The country's leading men of science were already aware of the former president's attainments In that field of knowledge but his evident study of other phases of French in tellectual life was unsuspected. There was much serious specula tion this morning by the press and the public as to whether Mr. Roose velt would essay a flight at Issy. The story of his trip in a submarine has been recounted so fully that all France knows every detail of it. When he appeared on the streets today, besides the, usual cheers tncre were many queries fired at him re garding his intentions of taking a trial trip. The question came ollen est. from the gamins of Paris, who never had an idol they worshipped so devotedly as they do the city's guest.
