Department hooks VMin Note as a Personal Insult. Washington, Feb. 1 !). Profound disappointment on receiving intima tion' that Secretary Knox did not contemplate giving Columbia any as siiruuee of the ultimate arbitration of her claim against the United Slates was generally ascribed as the reason for the cxiH'ession from Honor Pedro .Osplna, Colombian minister last night, that Knox's visit to his country at this time would be "in opportune.": It developed today that when Ospina first read the white house announcement a week ago, stating that President Taft had di rected Knox to visit the countries bordering the Carrebean sea, he hail ed it with unconcealed enthusiasm. In a statement of comment on the Knox trip, prepared then, but not made public until today, Ospina fore saw possible recognition by the United Stales of Colombia's demands for the arbitration of differences crowinar out of the unit I lion of Panama and the acquisition by this government of the canal zone. .Minister Ospina Is confident his government Will reiterate that Knox's visit will be "Inopportune." The thought of personal insult, which position the statement is reported to have taken relative to the tenor of Ospina's communication had not oc curred to him. Ospina said today. He only intended to set forth his government's Impatience at not re ceiving what he considered proper consideration of lis notes. Xo Change .Made. Washington, Feb. 19.

V if. I ) nip f i PITNEY FOR X SUPREME BENCH Hew Jersey Man Is Named As Harlan's Suc cessor Washington, Feb. 19. The nomi nation of Mahlon Pitney, chancellor, of New Jersey, as associate justice of the United States supreme court, was sent to the senate this after noon by the president. The statement that Pitney would be named as the successor of the late Justice Harlan, was made at the white house after a call by John W. Griggs, former attorney general and a delegation of New Jersey lawyers. Tuft does not anticipate opposition to the nomination in the senate. Pit ney lias long been a prominent fig ure (ii New Jersey. It once seemed that Taft would name Judge William C. Hook, of the United States circuit court or Secre tary Nagle. There was a protest against Hook, because of decisions in the Oklahoma cases, involving the two-cent fare law and "Jim Crow" car law. The latter case Hook de cided in favor of the railroads and against the negroes. This, it is said, caused the president to turn from tlie Kansas Jurist. Labor organiza tions protested against Nagle on the ground that he had been too lenient in the enforcement of the immigra tion laws. When Pitney is confirmed, Taft will have the extraordinary experi ence of naming the majority of the highest tribunal in the land. In ad dition to naming five new justices on a court of nine; Taft also had the distinction of elevating Associate Justice White to chief justiceship, making six supreme court appoint ments during his three years in the white house. Chancellor Pitney has been under consideration by the president for several weeks. Following protests against Secretary Nagel, Mr. Taft turned his search from beyond the Mississippi river, where he first look ed for a candidate. Chancellor Pit ney and F. J. Swayze, justice of the supreme court of New Jersey, were two men who gradually became most prominent in the president's mind. Chancellor Pitney mets many of the president's requiremests for a supremo court justice. He is a little more than 54 years of age, six years under Mr. Taft's "age limit" and has been a practicing lawyer and a Judge since 1882. He served as associate justice for the New Jersey supreme court from 1901 to 1908, and be came chancellor in the latter year. His term would expire In 1910. His home is in Morrlstown, RKl'TSHI) THE PRIEST Man Hanged Today for Murder, Re fused Ministration of His Own s' Son. ;. Mobile, Ala , Feb. 19. J.

T Reported That Morehead-But- ler People Are to Enter Daily Field Report has it that the Morchead Butler faction of the republican party .will "start a morning paper jn Raleigh at an early date, though some of the leading republicans here say they are not awaie of a. definite intention to do this. It is also re ported that the Associated Press dispatches will be secured if a suit against the corporation is won. The morning paper has the ex clusive morning use of the Associated Press in Raleigh, but the question of whether another paper could not get tlie service lias never been determin ed by tlie. courts, it is claimed that any paper with those dispatches bun the most 'perfect monopoly in the United States, and a test suit would be watched with a great deal of in terest. It is not known who would put up the money for the republican paper, but the talk is that leading republicans will do so. The fact that the state executive committee is to meet here next week has probably lent something to the report. Weather Bureau Bulletin. Washington, Feb. 19.

The officers are more convinced than ever that three young men did not carelessly allow the gas to flow an entire night; the officers cannot understand why the odor in such an event should not have escaped even to the street. The very nature of the place, the reputation of Frank Wilson and some of his employes, make it incumbent on the officers to probe to the bottom. And that they will do.
