COMMISSIONER URGED.

A ARCHBISHOP RYAN

The outlook is decidedly favorable to the
nomination of A. B. Hayes of Ogden, Utah.
as federal judge of the Cape Nome distrist
of Alaska. to fill the vacancy caused by
the dismissal of Judge NOyes. 1t is be-
lieved that the nomination to this position
will be made within few days. Senator
Kearns of Utah suggested the name of
Mr.. Hayes and has urged his selection. If
the President picks Mr.. Hayes the fact will
be complimentary to Senator Kearns, who
is much liked by Mr.. Roosevelt.
There have been many candidates for
this position and nearly all Of them have
been backed by men of strong influence.
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina had
an available man in Judge Spencer B..
Adams of Greensboro, N. c. The Presi-
dent desired to please Senator Pritchard
and would have been glad of an opportun-
ity of offering the Alaskan judgship to
Judge Adams. He did the next best thing
by Offering the position of United States
attorney of the Cape Nome district to
Judge Adams 1t is understood that Judge
Adams does not want the position, which
will be given to some one else. The former
United States attorney at Cape Nome was
Joseph O. Wood, who was convicted of
conspiracy along with Judge Noyes
Judge Dillingham; of the Yukon district of
Alaska is now filling the bench in the Cape
If so. the vacancy of the Yukon district
would be filled by Mr.. Hayes appointment.
Place for Archbishop Ryan.
Representative Burke of Pennsylvania
saw the President today to urge the nomi-
nation of Archbishop Ryan as member Of
the board of Indian commissioners, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Bishop
Whittle. ne selection of Archbishop Ryan
is urged not only because of his fitness for
the position, but because the Catholic
Church is in no way represented on the
board. The Catholic Church. it is stated
does great deal of missionary and chari-
table work among the Indians, probably
more than any other denomination. Arch
bishop Ryan is much interested in this
The President is giving the matter consid
Grafton. Another name being considered is
that of Charles Bonaparte of Baltimore.
His selection would not be Objectionable to
Catholics, and it is possible that he will be
the man chosen.
A Good Many Callers

Der of people this morning who had no
