WHY OUTSIDE LAWYERS WERE
TAKEN.

Reasons Alleged for the Selection by the
President of the Judges of the New Court.
Speaking OF the composition of the District
Court of Appeals distinguished member of
the bar remarked TO STAR reporter today that
the failure Of the District to get but one member
of the cour. was due not SO M uch TO a desire on
the part of the President to go outside Of
the District as IL Was TO certain opposition
here to placing members of the District
bar above the members Of the Supreme Court of
the District. This opposition, be said. orig
mated with members of the court and was so
strongly maintained that the President was
forced. it is alleged. to almos: entirely abandon
his purpose to appoint District men. The senior
three justices of the District Supreme Court
were urged for appointment to the bench of
the new court. When the President had de-
cided not to take this step he was given TO I'M
derstand. The STARS informant saws, that the
appointment Of any member or members
Of the District bar would be distssteful to the
members of the Supreme Court of the District
and would be in the nature of q
reflection upon the court These state
ments. it is said, impressed the Presi-
dent with the belief that the appointment Of
members Of the District bar would arouse such
an opposition as might imperil their confrma-
tons, and desiring to cause no delay
in the establishment OF the court be de-
decided, with the exception of Judge Martin +.
Morris, to 60 outside the District for the
other members OF the court The STARS
informant alleges significant
fact in connection with the matter

preme Court. with the exception of Judge Cole,
to offer their congratulations to Judge Morris,

Justice Alvey and Judge Morris. to
be in Washington not later than Thurs

The Chicago Belle Jumped the Rope.


From the Chicago Tribune.
They had been playing at the different
corners ON the way home and had Just begun
the fun at the point named perhaps because Q
half dozen bright-eyed boys were playing
''migs" directly across the drive in the road
way used by horseback riders. The marbles
were cracking merrily and the rope was
whirling rapidly through the air, when Q
fashionable young lady stepped out OF . car
riage that had drawn up at the curb.
'You may go home now john" she said to
the iveried coachman, 'I'u walk the rest of the
way"
The young lady looked on for y while at the
girls, whose light feet rose and fell the stone
tagging rs the rope cut musically through the
air. Then her eyes wandered interrogatively
over her spring calling gown. 1t was beauti-
full affair OF fawn-colored Henrietta cloth, be-
traying in the spreading skirt hints of coming
crinoline. Next she looked up the white road
way toward Lincoln Park, and then down to-
ward the picturesque stone tower Of the North
Chicago pumping station. No one in sight.
Bellevue place deserted, too. The window
boring residences were drawn The young
lady smiled rs she walked up to the school
girls. The rope stopped swinging as the little
ones looked up in establishment
''Yes, want to jump" said the fashionable
yonng lady.
n pedi Vi ihugutet Sfeeteu tuis request II
was granted with eagerness. The two largest
girls grasped the ends Of the rope, stood near
enough to each other to have it clear the apple
green ostrich feather that tipped the wouid-be
jumpers hat, and then the swinging began.
The fashionable young lady gathered her
train In her left hand. She nodded her head
bit, in time with the rope. Then she 1eaped
gracefully into the game. Light . mountain
gazelle she skipped, the rope now whistling
above her head, now striking the sidewalk with
quick, singing beats. Faster and faster the
rope went round faster and faster battered the
feet Is the childish words Of command came
from the pretty Jumpers lips. ''Sugar.'
''Pepperr' ''Saitr' "Mustardr' she cried, and
when she gasped ''yinegsr!" the rope and
jumper looked like . blurred picture. Then
with spirited clip OF her head and . uimble
jump she was out Of the charmed circle. her
fswn-coiored train gliding after her 80 quickly
that the swift descending rope did not touch It.
There, girls" the animated young lady
cried, CHATS real fun! enjoyed that jump
ing more than al tbs dances I've been 10 this
winter"
Then, readjusting her hat and pssrine around
to see II anybody CHANGED to be looking, she
disappeared up the drive with her cheeks al
Agiow and her eyes sparkling from her exsr-
ciss.

IN them. The Improvement Of forecasts il a
scientific problem and have been SO fortunate
As to employ several Of the ablest scientific
men In the United States on this subject. There
Is abundant promise Of sound advance. The
wider spread Of our forecasts has been accom-
piished by the appointment Of twenty-six local

gress has now authorized an increase

tribution OF our weather maps, bulletins and
