Joseph E. Morrison of Bisbee was nominated by the president to be United States attorney for Arizona, succeeding J. L. B. Alexander. Other appointments include C. M.

The focus is on confirming Horace Lurton as Supreme Court justice with a favorable report and likely early January action if the vote is postponed. Some senators cite Lurton’s age as a concern, while others back quick confirmation. Both houses adjourn for two weeks after Monday or Tuesday.
