Place.
As The SUCCESSOR OF SHIRAS

Canton, O.-William R. Day, ex
Secretary Of State, has accepted {
tender OF appointment as associate
justice of the United States supreme
court Judge Day said in answer tc
query as to his appointment
Il received the tender from Pres
ident Roosevelt Saturday. mailed
my acceptance Monday morning"
Judge Day does not know when the
appointment will be sent to the Sen
ate. He will succeed Justice Shiras.
William R. Day went to Washington
in 1897 to become assistant Secretary
OF State to John Sherman, whom he
succeeded. He had been a nelghboI
to Mr.. Mckinley in Canton many
years. Mr.. Day was q successful law
yer and was earning more money in
private practice than he could hope to
make in public life. After the close of
his services as Secretary of State and
on the Paris peace commission his de.
sire was to retire to private life. 1t
was understood at that time that Mr.
Mckinley would appoint him to a fed
eral judgeship and later he was men
TONED for the supreme bench.
In appointing Judge Day President
Roosevelt has carried out the inten.
ton of Mr. Mckinley. who had prom.
ised to place him on the supreme
bench. This was intended both as q
recognition Of his ability as a jurist
and as a reward for his services as
Secretary of State In the Spanish
American war, and later, on the peace
commission which brought the war to
a close and obtained for the United
States the Philippines and Porto Rico,
Judge Day is ga years old He was
born In Ravenna. o. His father and
both of his grandfathers were justices
of the Ohio supreme court President
Harrison appointed him judge of the
United States district court for the
Northern district Of Ohio in 1889
Judge Day was compelled to resign on
account Of Ill health.
President Roosevelt had promised
a place on the supreme bench to Gov
ernor Taft of the Philippines, to sue
coed Justice Shiras, but Governor Taft
has yielded to popular sentiment In
the archipelago and will remain there
to continue his work. In case Judge
Taft had accepted Mr.. Day would have
been offered good position else
where. Mr.. Day has been a student
of international and corporation law
for many years. Before his appoint
ment in the State department by Pres
ident Mckinley Mr.. Day had no more
than a local reputation, but his hand
ling of the diplomacy Of the Spanish
American war and his conduct OF peace
negotiations at Paris established his
reputation as a statesman.

BRAZIL WARNS BOLIVIA.
VIII Have Troops Handy to the Acre
Territory.


Paris.-The Brazilian legation here
has issued an official statement by the
Brazilian government explaining the
latter's position toward the Acre dis
pute and the projected expedition into
the Acre territory of President Pando,
of Bolivia.
The statement declares that the Bra
lillian government has given Bolivia
to understand that the contract with
the Bolivian syndicate Is a monstros-
ity on law, since 1t entails the partial
alienation Of sovereignty to a foreign
company, and that the concession Is
void, inasmuch as 1t disposes or terri
tory which is at the present time the
subject of dispute with Peru. The
statement proceeds to say that Brazil
has always given liberal interpreta'
ton to the treaty Of 1867, seeking to
favor Bolivia by procuring her facili'
ties OF communication on the Amazon
and the Paraguay. But Bolivia having
alienated to a foreign syndicate the
rights conceded to her In the Acre
territory, Brazil will now sustain the
strict Interpretation of the treaty.
After recountlng the various propos-
ais which have been made to adjust
the dispute, the statement concludes:
Bolivia having refused all these
proposals and President Pando having
decided to march against the Brazil.
ian subjects in Acre, the President Of
Brazil has decided to concentrate
troops in the adjoining states of Mat.
to, Grasso and Amazonas.

There is a rich placer gold in New
Mexico that is known to be 10 miles
square; and the gravel is 10 to 100
feet thick, in which there is enough
gold to pay the national debt.
This deposit of gravel has been
formed by the erasive action of water

which is located the Santa Fe Gold &

will net from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton.

any county aprehends and puts pro-
fessional thief out OF the way, society
in every state and municipality in the
country derives a great benefit.
The police business in the United
States has largely become man hunt
in which all participate and when the
game Is taken into any one quarter, all
others join in rejoicing, for they no
longer have fears that their respective
localities will be terrified or robbed by
such character.
It Is not proposed that the bureau
shall be a detective agency, but place
where the chief of police might send a
photograph, measurement or descrip-
ton OF a certain arrested person with
the request that he be identified. Should
the photograph, measurement or de-
scription identical be found among the
thousands which will readily be con-
tributed by the police auth critics from
all sources, the character is no longer
unknown to the inquirer, and author
tiles everywhere enjoy the benefit OF
the knowledge thus obtained.
II the bureau Is established, photo
graphs, measurements, descriptions and
information of criminals at home and
abroad will furnish a valuable means
Of affording protection to government
officials and institutions and to persons
and property throughout the country.
The police departments Of the prin-
cipal European countries are as near
perfection as can be imagined, al
though 1t is said that the Indian secret
service excels that Of any in Europe.
1t is by means of this powerful agency
that Great Britain keeps midas hun
dreds of millions under proper subJec-
ton, adept as they are, like all 0rien-
tails in every form Of intrigue. The
agents of the Secret Political Police De-
partment Of Calcutta penetrate every
sphere Of Indian life and society.
From this great school London's pres
ent chief Of the Criminal Investigation
Department graduated. A number OF
agents OF this department are located
in the United States looking after the
various Irish societies. No dynamite
outrage has been planned or executed
from here Of which the bureau In Lon
don did not receive warning.
A perfect harmony and understanding
exists between the various European
police departments and their efforts al
