Supreme Court Respects
Dead Judge
Believed Vaeunely Will Bo Filled By

dies. Washington, D. C, Oct. 16 When
tho United States supreme court to
day convened, the chair of the late
Justice Harlan, who died Saturday
morning, was heavily draped and out
of respect to his memory, the coun
try's highest tribunal of Justice, ad
journed immediately.
The funeral will be conducted to
morrow from the home of the deceas
ed Jurist In this city.
Politicians who are close to official
circles hero today are generally
agreed on the opinion ,that President
Taft will appoint s progressive man
to succeed Justice Harland on the
supremo bench.
One report that has gained circula
tion about the nation's capitol is to
the effect that Attorney Brandies,
who defended former Chief Foreser
Gifford Pinchot during the trial of
former Secretary Ballinger, of the de
partment of the interior, may be se
lected for the seat.
It is. however, generally believed
that President Taft's personal dislike
of Brandies would crevent his ap
pointment. Another rumor Is going the rounds
to h effect that Solicitor. Gsneri'l
Lehman of St Louis, Mo., will be se
lected. So far as can be ascertained,
the two mentioned are the on'y ones
who are being urged for the place,
although it is expected that numbers
of others will be put forth as candi
dates, within the next few davs.

After having attended the state fair
held at Boise' and spoke at the state
medical convention for Idaho, Dr. C.
J. Smith returned to the city Satur
day. While in the Idaho city the
doctor met with a number of former
Fendletonians, among them being
Harry Fritzman. mayor of Boise, who
was formerly in the commi'sion busi
ness here. He Is now a prosperous
commission dealer in Boise and tho
fact that he is succeeding is attested
by the position he now holds in the
city government.
According to Dr. Smith, Boise is a
very modern appearing city and is
fast improving. At this time there
are fiften miles of paved streets in
Boise and 100 blocks more are to be
paved in the near future. In th?
residence districts the sidewalks aw
almost entirely of concrete and the
street are parked, thus giving tho
thoroughfares a splendid appearance.

NOTED WHITE SLAVE SLEUTH
Startling revelations regarding the
white slave traffic and the liquor
traffic among Indians were made by
George A. Miller, special officer in
tho Indian service of the department
of the interior, who is here today to
appear against Frank McSwain, ac
cused of selling whiskey to a red
skin. Mr. Miller has been in the In
dian service for five years but dur
ing that time he has had furloughs
amounting to eighteen months, during
which times he was employed by the
national Immigration comission to se
cure evidence as to the extent of the
white slave traffic. By hi' work In
theso two capacities, Mr. Miller has
won for himself a national reputation
and Is one of the most feared detec
tives of the country.
It was In 1909 that he first secured
a furlough from the Indian service to
undertake an Investigation for the na
tional Immigration commission. Dur
ing the several months In which he
engaged in this work he operated in
all of the principal cities In the west
nnd made discoveries regarding the
organization and extent of the white
slave traffic that were startling even
to officials familiar with the lower
world. He secured evidence against
67 different dealers in young girls be
fore his furlough ended.
Before Rockefeller Grand Jury,
In 1910 he was again secured by
the Immigration commission from the
Indian service nnd this time he work
ed In the east. After extensive inves
tigation he announced to the world
that of all the cities In tho United
States. Seattle nnd New York were the
worst hellholes of white slavery. It
was this statement that led to him
being subpoenaed before the Rocke
feller grand jury In New York of
which John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. was

When asked to substantiate his
statement, Miller announced that it
would require considerable money,
and he wis at once supplied with a
large capital. Immediately he began
his operations. He went to the
orst dives in tho city and represent
ed himself as a gambler from Juneau,
Alaska, and let it become known that
his mission in New York was to se

moral purposes. So purposely did he
act his part that he was soon known

the doors were locked and the win

white girls, sixteen years of age, were
