Yale Wants Taft for Kent Professorship at Yale Law School
Washington, December 11. President Taft weighs an offer of the Kent professorship at Yale Law School, last filled by Professor Phelps. The position pays 5000 a year and Taft has discussed it with his cabinet but not decided. If he accepts, his Yale ties would echo Cleveland at Princeton. He faces a choice between practice and the professorship, with a likely four month rest after leaving the White House and possible Augusta Georgia vacation plans.

Copper Trusts and Market Manipulations Revealed in 1907 Hearings
Testimony details how United Metal Selling funded copper producers to sell through it, forcing dumps in October lowering prices to 18 cents and moving 293 million pounds of metal. Untermyer links metal control to stock fluctuations in Amalgamated Copper as trading surged before March 1907. Wolfson claims his firm controlled about half of U S output. The Hocking Valley pool and price manipulation are outlined along with bank charges for out-of-town checks and panic-era deposit demands.
