CONCESSIONS TO AMERICANS

The Navy Department today made
public a report dated October 6. made
by Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans. on
his trip on the Helena up the Yangtze
River as far as Ichang. Admiral Evans
says the purpose OF his trip was TO
show the American flag as far up the
river as possible. and to familiarize him
self with the cc1ditiOHs existing along
the river. This is the first time an
American vessel has been above Hankow
since the Mouocacy made her last trip
in 1881
Admiral Evans says that judging from
the abundance Of the harvests in the
Yangtze valley. there will be a plentiful
supply OF fcodstufIs during the coming
year. and consequently there IS not like

Concession to Americans.
The most important interest" Ad-
miral Evans says. we have in this
section OF China is the concession grant
ed last June 10 the American China De-
velopment Company for the construc-
tiOn or a railway from Canton to Han
kow. This road is approximately 700
miles long. Beginning at Canton, it fol-
lows the valley OF the Pehklang for a
distance Of about 100 miles. then for
thirty niles crosses a divide which has
a maximum altitude OF only coo feet

The route chosen lies along shat fol-

and along the line numerous commercial

DISTRICT BAR MAY
SUBMIT THREE NAMES
To Suggest Men Acceptable
to Succeed Judge Bradley.
Considering Proposition to Select Most
Prominent Candidates and Ask
President to Choose From List.

1t Is understood that the members OF
the District bar as a whole have decided
to consider the matter of suggesting to
the President the names of three local
attorneys, any one of whom will be ac-
ceptable to the bar as a successor to
the late Justice Bradley.
The decision was arrived at yesterday
by the friends of District Attorney Gould
and Benjamin F. Leighton as the wisest
course to pursue under the present cir
cumstances. Aside from this there was
apparently no change in the relative po-
sitions of the aspirants for judicial
honors.
II is generally conceded by all who
discuss the matter that Mr.. Gould. Mr..
Leighton. and City Solicitor A. B. Du-
vail are the leaders In the race for the
vacancy caused by the death OF Justice
Bradley. other aspirants are strung out
in the rear. but their friends contend
that they are running strong and will
make a determined bid at the finish.
The name of Mr.. William Meyer Levin
has also been mentioned as suitable
successor to Jutice Bradley.

happy and contented. The liberality
and cosmopolitan spirit Of Mr.. Rupert
are shown in the manner in which this
hcme is to be conducted. Although a
Christian and Lutheran by birth. he did
not allow his feelings of public good
TO be circumscribed within the narrow
boundaries OF sect. His horizon was
broader, and therefore this home was to
be norsectarian. and is for all nationali-
ties.
The trustees under Mr.. Rupert
will have discharged the duty imposed
upon them TO the best of their knowledge
and ability, and the home dedicated this
