He Asked Supreme Court Judge

Washington, Jan. 14-It can be stated
by authority that Judge William r.
Day, former secretary of state, prob
ably will be appointed as an associate
justice Of the United States supreme
court to succeed Justice Shiras. who is
about to retire, but it can be said also
that the president has made no offer Of
the position vet to Judge Day
It is understood that through Senator
Hanna of Ohio. one of Judge Days close
personal friends. the former secretary mas
been asked whether he would consider an
offer of a position on the supreme bench.
No answer yet has been returned to this
proposal. but no doubt is expressed that
Judge Day viii consider It faVorably. 1t
is entirely likely however. therefore. that
the formal tender of the associate Justice

The passage, last June, of the national
irrigation act. the practical outcome of
which viii depend largely upon the pro-
lection Of the water supply in forested
mountains, has given great emphasis TO
The preservation Of forests. The pro
posed establishment Of the Appalachian
forest reserve in the east, and the re-
cent measures taken by various city
waterworks. notably in New England,
for the preservation and Improvement
of forests that contain the sources OF
their water supply, all point to the far
reaching Importance of protective for
estry.
There are many indications through
out the country pointing to a vide
spread and growing interest in forests
and their relation to the water supply.
The national forest reserve system has
been greatly increased within the past
two years. so that the total area in
eluded now amounts to over 60 900, 600
acres of forest land These lands are
chosen largely for the purpose of pro
tecting the sources of important streams
which lie within the various reserves.
The federal reserve system embraces
forest lands throughout the western
United States.
cations undertaken by the bureau of
forestry. United States department of
agriculture, is a study of the relation
ship of forests to stream-flow in the
Rock river watershed of Illinois and
southeastern Wisconsin. The investiga-
ton was undertaken by the bureau at
the instance of the Hon r. r. Hit.
representative in congress- from the
Ninth district of T11fuofa
The study of the forest conditions of
the Rock river basin is interesting be-
cause it constitutes one of the very few
cases in this country in which such an
investigation has been made to apply
directly to given stream and locality.
For some years back a marked de-
crease has been noticed in the flow Of
this river, especially during the more
critical parts Of the summer and
autumn. The investigation which the
bureau Of forestry made of this water
shed shows that the diminished flow of
the river could be traced to several dis
tinct causes. The most important of
these are the changes that have taken
place In the area and condition Of the
forests.
The present wooded areas Of the Rock
river watershed have been considerable
reduced in their effectiveness as reguIa-
tors and distributors of the water sup
ply. This has been brought about BIZ
the improper treatment Of the forest.
The resulting changes la the compost

that jamestown punted. that one of the
jewels in the opposing team touched
the ball and that therefore it was a free
for all contest to see who would get it.
A Jamestown man got it and the
referee awarded 1t to jamestown but
then when Jewell wanted it he took it
away from the Jamestown team and
gave it to his team. James Stewart,
ex-captain and quarter back of the
Washburn team, has been talked to
and he may be called as an expert in
football rules and regulations when
the case comes 10 court, for there was
money up on the game and the actions
of the referee lost money for the James
town team, which would have won the
game had they kept the ball.

A TRAGEDY
Which Involves Woman of Aristocratic
Birth and Civil War Veteran.

Denver, Col, March 5.-Mrs. Georgia
Stanley, who was, Wednesday, found in
an unconscious condition in the house
in which lay the dead body of Maj.
Marshall F. Hurd, proves to be a
woman of aristocratic lineage. She is
granddaughter of Lord Kercastle of
Inverness, Scotland. Her mother was
Lady Allen and her father governor of
an English province in India. Lady AL
len, by a second marriage, became the
mother of Sir James Grant of Toronto,
one Of the most eminent physicians of
the Dominion of Canada. who was
knighted by Queen Victoria.
Mrs. Stanley, it is said, was thrice
married. Her first husband and their
four children died of the black diph
iberia in Quebec several years ago.
Later she married resident of Wash
ington, ID. c., who was in the govern
ment service. A year later he shot and
killed himself in a hotel at Syracuse,
N Y. She then married Herbert STAN
ley, who was a government clerk.
Her relatives disapproved of the
union and the Stanleys came to Den
yer to live. About year ago STAN
ley died of paralysis and left his widow
penniless and helpless on account of
i'll health.
Mai Hurd who at that time was an
inmate of the Old Soldiers Home at
Monte Vista. came to Denver and un
dertook to care for Mrs. Stanley, whose
late husband was his friend. The
small pension he received from the gov
eminent was not sufficient and assist
/ahce was rendered by charitable per-
sons. 1t was on the occasion of one of
these visits, Wednesday, that the
tragedy was discovered. Hurd's death
is believed to have been due to acct
dentally inhaling coal gas.

POPE FEELS BETTER.
Nephew Says He Can With Difficulty
Be Kept Indoors.

Rome, March 5.-Dr. Lapponi visit
ed the Pope, this morning, and found
him no worse, with regard to symptoms
of any special illness. The physician
has forbidden anyone to see the Pontiff,
except the latter's nephew, Count
Camille Pecci, who entered the PopeS
room as Dr. Lapponi left it.
The fact that the Pontiff's physical
prostration is due to overwork and
over excitement, which, however, leaves
his mental faculties perfectly clear,
wonderfully SO, indeed. Therefore DR..
Lapponi thinks that q few days rest
will restore the Pope to his usual con-
dition. The. physician also hopes that
the suspension of audiences will induce
the numerous pilgrims and notable
persons who are now in Rome to aban-
don the idea of seeing the Pontiff and
thus avoid causing the latter further
fatigue, which might place him in seri-
Gus danger.
Count Camille Pecci after his visit
to his uncle, gave The Associated Press
correspondent a full account of the
Pontiff's condition, saying he would not
hesitate to tell the truth even were the
Pope really sick.
he PONtl1 not only IS not SUI
fering from AMI specific sickness" re-
marked the count, but it will be diff
ficult to continue to keep him quiet, as
he said to me:
The doctor wishes l should stay
in my room until Monday, but l cannot
have so many people waiting, who came
to Rome purposely to see me. If |
continue as well as l am at present |
shall resume my audiences, Saturday,"
Continuing, Count Pecci remarked:
I'm the meanwhile the Pipe has an
nounced that he will assist at the
usual lenten sermon together with the
cardinals. Dr. Lapponi would have
liked the Pontiff to keep to his bed so
as to regain his strength quicker, but
the Pope said:
Il cannot do it. Staying in bed in
stead of strengthening me Weakens me.
Besides | need light and air.
Yesterday, the Pontiff arose at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, but, today lie
got up at A. M, and will remain up
until evening. The Pope had his usual
conference with Secretary of State
Rampola and employed the remainder
of his time in reading the very many
kilograms received, wishing to per-
sonally examine each of them"
Count Pecci ended by saying:
The best proof that there is not
much the matter with the Pontiff is
that, today, he had for lunch giod
sized beef steak"

Chicago, March 5.-Murder Gohpnit-

and robbed strangers nightly in West
Madison street saloons and which, has
been concealed for three years has
been made known to the police by
John Lyons, one of the band lyons
who is said to be dying of consumption
says his conscience gave him no rest
and that he will find peace only in
death. George Howard, a printer, was
the victim and on the statements made
by Lyons charges of murder have been
placed against Joseph Moore and
James Bray, who are under arrest in
St. Louis.
So many We're the robberies that Ly-
ons is said to be unable to recall the
times or places and so accustomed
were the men to dealing out choral to
their intended victims that the danger

til Howard failed to recover and the
possibilities of the gallows frightened
the robbers from their career.
Howard was drugged in a saloon in
West Madison street on the night of
March %, 1900. After he fell lin a stu
por they carried him to the walk in
front Of the place where they robbed
him of $17 and fled. He was picked up
by the police and died in the patrol

Lyons was serving out a fine in the

quickened his conscience and he made
a confession on the strength of which
