ALL DRUGGISTS JUSTICE BREWER'S DEATH MAY CAUSE REARGUMENTS Standard Oil, Tobacco and Corporation Tax Suits Now Pending in Supreme Court. EASTERNER MAY BE CHOSEN. Names of Hughes and Root Among Those Considered in Speculation as to Dead Jurist's Successor. Washington.

March 29-Re-argument of the cases affecting great corporations which are pending before the Supreme Court of the United States loomed up prominently to-day as a probable outcome of the death of Justice Brewer last night. These include the dissolution suits against the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey and American Tobacco Company and corporation tax the cases. The decision of those cases by the seven justices on the bench now that Justice Brewer has passed away, and Justice Moody, is incapacitated for service on account of rheumatism, is believed to depend almost entirely upon the unanimity of opinion on the question. Some lawyers who have followed closely the decisions of the Supreme Court scout the idea. that such unanimity exists, and therefore, they are free in expressing the view that these cases will be set for Teargument before il full court.

-It is probable that a vote has already been taken on all of these cases. 1f this be true and the court was equally divided or nearly so. it is believed that the court would hesitate to give to the country decision which might have resulted differently if it had been decided by a full bench. Around the Supreme Court. offices today it was generally regarded as certain that if the court was unanimous on any at' these cases, or practically SO that there would be no need for re- argument.

A peculiar situation exists in regard to the Standard Oil case. The suit was instituted under Justice Moody's direc1ion during his service as attorney general. Should the court wait for the President to appoint another justice, even then only eight members of the court could act on the case by reason of this elimination of Justice Moody. Four would then constitute a majority for the government. as it would now for both the government and for the Standard Oil if decided by a bench of seven, due.

to the death of Justice Brewer. Speculation in regard to a successor to Justice Brewer was also heard in conneetion with the probable effect of his death on the cases before the court. The politicians turned first to the great eighth circuit, from which Justice Brewer camo. It is the largest circuit in the United States. Two of the members of its Circuit oCurt already have been mentioned prominently in connection with the Supreme Court bench.

They are Judge Walter H. Sanborn of St. Paul, and Judge Willis Van Deventer of Cheyenne, Wivo. The former is 65 years of age, and the latter 53, both within the range of eligible ages. undn the seventh circuit is another poseibility, Lloyd W.

Bowers of Chicago. now solicitor general of the Department of Justice. A strong sentiment is said to prevail in favor of the appointment of an Eastern man. When Justice Lurton was appointed to succeed Justice Peckham, an endeavor WAS made to induce President Taft to give the seat to a New York member. Prominently mentioned at that time was Attorney General Wickersham.

Justice Lurton was selected because of the high personal regard the President entertained for the Tennessee jurist and because Justice Lurton and Justice Peckham were both Democrate. Should the Standard. Oil case, the Tobacco case, or the corporation tax suits be set for re -argument, however, it is probable that neither Mr. Bowers nor Mr. Wickersham could be considered, since they would be incapacitated for service in that connection.

Among those considered other than United States judges the names were mentioned to-day of Secretary of War Dickinson. Solicitor General Lloyd W. Bowers, Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Henry M. Hoyt, counselor of the State Department: Governor Hughes and Senator Root of New York. HANGED ON DOOR HINGE.

Burns, Suffering From Nervous Ailment. Ends Life With a Clothesline. James Burns, 35 years old, of 304 West One Hundred and Fourth street. Manhattan, committed suicide early to-day by hanging himself from the hinge of the door of his bedroom. He was discovered suspended with a piece of clothesline, by Samuel Dodd, with whom he had a confectionery store at 313 West One Hundred and Forty-first street.

Dodd cut Burns down and called a physician, but life was extinct. Dodd told the police that Burns has suffered from a nervous ailment and had just returned from the West, where he weat in search of health. He was BIGAMIST IS TRAPPED BY PRATTLE OF CHILD Brooklyn Conductor Confesses Guilt When Confronted by "Wives" in Court. HAD INTRODUCED WOMEN. Dual Life of Carman Is Like Romance Taken From Eastern Play.

Edwin Braffett, 27 years old, employed as a conductor with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, married Sarah Weber, a Bay Ridge girl, in 1903. They have three children. About a year ago Bratfett met an Eastern District girl, Jennie L. Reese, of 271 Bedford avenue. Braffett told her his name was Frederick W.

Moore and said he was a widower. The girl trusted him and on December 26. still posing 86 Moore the widower, Braffett married the Reese girl. Since that time this young bigamist has bad one home at 271 Bedford avenue and the other in Bay Ridge, with his first wife and their three children and his mother-inlaw, Mrs. Kate Weber, now of 678 Sixtieth street, where her daughter, Bratfett's lawful wife, is living also.

The unusual circumstances surrounding Braffett's dual life were revealed to-day in the Fifth avenue police court, where his Arst wife, Sarah Weber Braffett, had him arraigned on a charge that he had abandoned her. Braffett's second "wife." Jennie Reese "Moore," stepped up before Magistrate Geismar and claimed the conductor as her husband. This climax had been arranged by the two wives. who have known each other about a week, though they had met some time before that. Magistrate Geismar asked Braffett it what the "Moore" woman said was true.

It took some time for the conductor to recover from the shock of having the two women standing on either side of him. Then he said. "I did," when Magistrate Geismar asked him if he had married both. Magistrate Geismer directed that a charge of bigamy be made out. This was done and Braffett pleaded guilty and was held in $2,000 bail to await the action of the Grand Jury.

Braffett's first. matrimonial venture was on August 26. 1903. The couple have three children, as stated. The eldest is a boy of five years, Willie, who figures in the revelation of his father's dual life.

The other children are three years and four weeks old respectively, so it may be seen that the youngest child was born since ite father's second marriage. Last December. before Braffett married under another name, his wife had him arraigned in the Fifth avenue court on an abandonment charge. Braffett promised to good" and his wife withdrew the charge. She said to-day that he told her then he was married to another girl.

and she told him he'd have to prove it before she'd believe is. He made no effort to prove it, she said, and she conItinued to believe in him. She has learned since, she said, that he was not married again at the time he said he was, but that he had a marriage in mind, and she believes now that he was trying to test her to see if she would a fuss about it." Braffett's second plunge into matrimonial waters was on December 26. Ti.e bride was 20 years of age. For nearly three months Braffett, alias Moore, lived his dual life without being found out.

He found it hard going supporting two women and three children on a street car conductor's salary. He found that he preferred the company of his new wife. and to her he gave most of his wages. Whereupon his first wife, Sarah Weber Braffett, feeling aggrieved that she was not getting the usual generous share of her a husband's pay envelope, a few weeks ago got a warrant out for his arrest. Court Officer Smith went looking for Braffett, and instead of finding him at his Bay Ridge home located him under the name of Moore at 271 Bedford avenue.

A quiet tip was given Mrs. Praffett, wife No. 1. who taxed her husband with a possibility that he had married a second time. Braffett admitted it was so.

Whereupon Mrs. Braffett would not believe it. she said. Braffett said: "Come on. ant I'll show you," or words to that effect.

for he took Wife No. 1 to the Bedford avenue home of Wife No. 2, and there installed the first wife as his sister-inlaw. Under this guise Wife No. 1 lived at Wife No.

2's home for three days, keeping silent during that time, until she was convinced at last that Braffett had married again. Braffett. Wife No. 1 said to-day, told her that if. she pressed the bigamy charge or if she charged him with bigamy he would flee the city.

She 'made a pretense of withdrawing this, her second abandon-: ment charge. mod Braffett thought she was going to keep quiet about his second wife. Then Braffett made a mistake. He took his 5-year-old boy. Willie, to his second wife's home in Bedford avenue.

He had been posing as a widower, and this boy. he announced. was his first wife's child. The conductor reckoned without Willie's prattling. Mrs.

"Moore" wanted to know from Willie who took care of him. and Willie replied with some contempt: "Mamma. of Willie announced, too, that he was Willie Braffett and not Willie Moore. as Mrs. 'Moore" wanted the child known as.

So Mrs. "Moore" went to Court Officer Smith, who had arrested Braffett. Both wives weree emphatic in court to in denouncing Braffett as "a monster." LOMAS-SHIBLEY INQUEST. Testimony Shows That Dennison, the Demented Magician, Was Near Scene of Double Murder. Coroner Feinberg held an inquest today into the shooting of Robert Loomas and Arthur Shibley, the two little boys who were shot at Highbridge Park, in Manhattan, on January 12 last.

Herbert Jerome Dennison, the demented magician, who has confessed to owning the revolver which was found near the scene of the crime, and who is now in the Matteawan Asylum for the Criminal Insane, was not in court. Assistant District Attorney Rubin was present at the inquest and about thirty witnesses were examined, the testimony taking several hours. A policeman testified to finding the Lomas boy and Dr. Swernoff, of the Washington Heights Hospital, said the lad had died a few minutes after being shot. The Shibley boy, he said, lingered for eight days, when ne died in the hospital.

Lawrence P. Casey of 2502 Eighth avenue said he saw a man on the Speedway at One Hundred and Sixty-third street at 1:40 P.M., on January 12. This is abont two blocks south of where the shooting took place. On January 20, Casey said. he identified Dennison as that man, at the Amityville Sanitarium.

He picked out Dennison while he was at dinner and he and Inspector McCafferty questioned Dennison. They showed him a copy of an evening newspaper with an account of the shooting. Casey testified that the Inspector asked Dennison if he would be sorry it he had done a thing like that, referring to the shooting of the children. T.he witness said Dennison's reply was: children and Yankees." "Dennison." resumed Casey, "then bared his left breast and showed a Spanish flag tattooed over his heart and said he had Spanish blood in him. I asked him if he had ever seen me before, and he named a place in Manhatian where he thought he had seen me." OBITUARY Mary Browner.

A LETTER FROM KATE MULLER. "I Believe You Are Guilty and I Beg of You to Confess." Wrote Common-Law Wife. It was evident this afternoon that Albert W. Wolter, accused of the murder of Ruth Wheeler, the 15-year-old stenographer, whose charred and multilated body was found in a sack on a fire escape outside of a room in Manhattan, formerly occupied by Wolter, has changed his mind about telling all he knows to the police, for to all inquiries he has sent word that he refuses to discuss the case on the advice of his lawyer.

The lawyer who has appeared in the case is Wallace D. Scott of 11 Broadway, Manhattan, who went to the Tombs Prison this morning. showed an engagement contract, given him by the prisoner's parents and was in consultation with the accused boy for more than half an hour. When the conference was finished the lawyer hurried away attend another trial. He refused to discuss the case, The letter received by Welter from Kate Muller, his common-law wife, last night, while he was being questioned by Inspector Titus, was translated to-day.

In effect it was as follows: "My dear AlAs you have been good to me I beg you to tell the truth. They found a sack on your fire escape and from what they tell me I think you are guilty. I beg you to tell I will forgive you. You have been so good -hearted to me that I can hardly believe it. Take In advice and tell everything.

You know what I know. I appreciate your kindness but I believe you are guilty and beg of you to confess and DO matter what happens I will love you. "KATIE."

She Has 1,888 Votes Credited to Her. Order of Leaders Has Changed. One hundred and Afty-three candidates in the Eagle's Trip to Europe Contest have received 10 or more votes. Of these 68 have received 100 or more votes, and 44 are above the 200 mark. The lowest of the ten who are now in the first division -Miss Mary C.

O'Brien of Public School No. 140-has 772. A6 was said yesterday, there is yet plenty of time for the "tallenders" and for those who have not yet entered, to get Into the list of the "Lucky Ten." Well-organized, persisent work, among one's friends and neighbors, will place any candidate near the top. There are ten tickets to be given out. The lowest of the ten will be just as well off as the one at the top and all will have the same privileges.

Some candidates who are now some distance from the first division received this morning a sufficient number to place them well up among the leaders, These votes are not included in the list given below. because they were not received be. fore the polls closed yesterday afternoon. Candidates and their friends should bear this in mind. The polls for the day close at 4 o'clock.

All votes received after that hour are left over until the fol. lowing day. Teachers who have friends -and who has get into the race now. The handicap is not yet prohibitive. It appear to some that they have alight chances.

But that is not SO. If a school has but one cand date, and if the teachers and pupils are loyal to the school and to the one selected to represent it. hundreds of ballots can be secured each day. This requires a little organization. The drops of rain may make a torrent.

The Ten Leaders. Miss Florence A. Stewart of Public School No. 44, Throop and Putnam avenues, is again at the top of the list. She has 1,888 votes: but Miss Ethel A.

who claims that he is the last in line of direct descent from the great General Montealm, was sent to the Raymond street jail this morning, by Magistrate Naumer, in default of bail for his appearance for a hearing on 2 charge of larceny, His case is to come up In the Adams street court, on Monday next. The complainant is Miss Elizabeth Critterton of 39 South Portland avenue, who claims that de Montcalm, while on a visit to her home on the night of March 16, purloined a tine silk shawl and a pair of opera glasses. Miss Critterton. who is an aged woman, valued the shawl at $50, but cherished it more as an heirloom, for it had been her mother's and was more highly considered -than any of the other family The glasses were given to her by a grateful woman whom she had befriended. DeMontealm was arrested at his home, 589 Eleventh street, last night by Detectives Lynch and Blank.

He admitted to them, they said, that he had pledged the articles, but in court pleaded not guilty to the charge of larceny. He. 18 about 30 years old, was well dressed and was very much distressed over his condition. He said that he was the only suzviving child or Dr. de Montcalm, who was a physician well known in the Eastern District and whose office was for years on Tarior street, a few doors from Bedford avenue.

His mother was well known ac one time as a pianist and gave many concerts. Both father and mother are dead, and Paul is the only one left. He was one of the honored guests at the recent tri-centenary of the City of Quebec, but evil times had fallen on him. he admitted, not through any fault of his. but because of a combination of unfortunate happenings.

Magistrate Naumer was very much interested In de Montcalm and asked him if lie had any occupation. am considered a very good stenographer, speaking French, English and a little Spanish." said De Montcalm, "but I have been unable recently to secure employment. My last place was with the firm of MeNab Harlan, brass founders of Paterson, N. The detectives said De Montcalm 'told them that he did not know what had led him to take possession of the shawl and the opera glasses. He said that he had been obliged to pawn most of the things he cherished, that had been left by his father and mother.

He had either sold or pledged all he had to buy food and to pay his room rent. De Montcalm said that his only known relative was cousin of the same name. who was also a guest of the Province ot Quebec during tne centennial celebration. and who is now living in Canada. He mentioned, among his personal friends some of the best known people, socially, in Williamsburg, and he asked of Magistrate Naumer the privilege of calling some of them up on the telephone.
