lie was at his home all day to-day. but
was reticent on the subject of his inten-
TORS. The Supreme Court is not In ses-
s.on and none Of the officials of the court
have the least idea what Justice Fuller
may do. The question rests solely with
him. He has undoubtedly received the re-
quest for his presence in the case. and
is probably considering what he viii do.
All the rules and etiquette of the court
advance information as TO his intentions
be made public. The person who made
the request Will probably be communicat-
ed with first. and nothing will be al
lowed to come out until that time It
would be considered q breach Of courtesy
TO Attorncy-General Anderson, for the
Chief Justice to announce his intentions
prior TO Mr. Andersons receiving a reply
to his request.

AS the agen: of the Treasury Depart
ment to select Il site for the United States
courthouse and post-off1ce building to he
erected in Charlottesville; "a. I recon-
mended 20 the Secretary OF the Treasury
the selection of the site offered by NJ Let
ernan. known locally as the Synagogue
corner because, in my judgment, it was
nearer and more available to the center
of business than any other site offered.
1t is in the western end of old Charlo:tes-
vile, and the placing of the building
there was to some extent concession to
that portion Of the city. which has in re-
cent years extended towards the Cn:ver-
sity Of Virginia. Much pressure was
brought TO bear upon me and the depart
ment TO select what is known as the Nc
kec site Immediately adjacent to the
county courthouse, but this site Is too
far to the cast. and also too far re-
moved from the center OF business and
travel in Charlottesville. which Is on Main
between Second and Third streets. east.
