CINCINNATI Oct. t3-A plan Of per-

nearly .similar in name and purpose
has been agreed upon. They are the
National Society of the Sons Of
the American Revolution and
the General Society of the Sons of
the Revolution. Both societies met
in separate session Tuesday and adopt
ed the plan of union prepared by a
conference committee, with some
amendments. The Sons of the Revolu-
tion came to a decision, after a long
debate, in which considerable Opposi-
tion developed. The name agreed up
on is the Society of the American Revo.
luton, Membership is to be limited
strictly to lineal descendants of
soldiers of the American revolu-
tion. The constitution adopted and
the plan of union are to be submit
ted to the several state societies of
both organizations by a committee Of
five from each national organization
for approval. When approved by a
majority of the state societies these
committees are to call convention of
the members of both organizations to
launch the new one into existence.

THE AGED JURIST REMAINS RETICE8T,
His Ambition to Eclipse Ch.cl-Justics
MarshaIIs Record Has Been Achieved,
and 1t is Believed He Win Give
Way to a Younger Maa.

WAsmNGToY, Oct 13.-Justce Ste.
phen j. Field, OF the United States SUI
prcme court it is believed by many Of
his friends, will announce his retire
ment from the supreme court bench
some time during the present term,
though he himself would say nothing
about the matter for publication when
newspaper men called at his residence.
1t has been his ambition 10 eclipse
the record of Chief Justice Marshall
for length OF service on the supreme
bench, and in this ambition he was
successful during the past summer.
He was appointed in 1903 to his present
position, and being now nearly eighty
one years old, has been eligible
for retirement on full pay for
nearly eleven years lie has been
in feeble health for several years,
but has continued in service,
though for some time past his attend
ance has been rather irregular, and he
has not taken as active a part as form
erly in the preparation of opinions.
Now that he has passed Chief Justice
Marshal's record he has had retire
ment under serious consideration. and
it is thought an announcement will be
made before long that he has taken
this course.
Atty.-Gen. McKenna is regarded as
being almost certain to succeed Justice
Field. Both come from California.
A reporter called at Justice Fields
residence, but the justice excused him
self sending down word that he was
not feeling well. Mrs. Field would
neither confirm nor deny reports Of
her husbands impending retirement.
though giving the impression that it
was at least under serious adviscment.
AT the supreme courtit was said that
nothing was known there on the sub
ject, and that any announcement must
come from Justice Field himself. That
the members Of the court believe the
justice will decide to make way for a
and more active man is shown
by the fact that they have postponed
hearing several important cases until
the beginning Of the new year, by which
time it is thought quite likely Justice
Field may have retired and his success
sor be in office, though, of course, it is
possible that the justice may in the end
decide to remain in office, a decision he
reached several times in the past when
his retirement was contemplated by
himself.
