The retirement of Associate Justice A
B. Hagner makes vacancy on the bench
of the Supreme Court of the District
His resigation from the bench took eff
feet. in fact. yesterday. his career as an
associate justice of the District Court.
however, practically ended on Friday,
when he signed his last judicial order.
The death of Justice Andrew G. Brad
ley. in the early part OF last summer,
caused a vacancy on the District bench
at the beginning of the summer recess
The vacancy was not filled until mid
winter when ASHLEY NJ. Gould, the
United States attorney for the District,
was appointed. Mr.. Gould however, did
not enter into his new office until about
the middle OF January last.
The members of the Washington bar
are all anxious that a successor TO Jus
tice Hagner may be appointed as early
as is practicable. The five remaining
justices of the District court are also de-
sirous that the vacancy shall be filled.
If it is not, the justices now composing
the District bench will of necessity be
compelled TO do extra work in the holiday
season. This, however, is only one of the
many reasons why il is desired that the
vacancy should be filled at as early a
date as possible.
The members of the local bar who have
The Washington times., 1903-05-31

discussed the matter express the opinion
that there is no reason why the Presi-
dent shall delay in nominating Justice
Hagner's successor. They feel that q
Washington lawyer should be named
to fill the vacancy on the District court
bench and contend there is plenty of
good material here from which to make
selection.
Among those most frequently men
toned in connection with the matter
are District Attorney Morgan H. Beach.
ex-District Attorney Arthur A. Birney,
Charles H. Keigwin, Benjamin F. Leigh
ton, president of the Washington Bar
Association, and Corporation Counsel
Andrew B. Duvall The appointment of
any one of these by the President. the
members of the bar say. Will be ac-
ceptable.
Within the past week there has been
rumor TO the effect that Judge John
w. Thompson, of Ohio, who now is en-
ployed in the Department of Justice, is
slated for the position. Judge Thomp-
sons name was prominently mentioned
as an aspirant for the vacancy on the
District bench caused by the death of
Justice Bradley He dropped out OF the
running, however, in the early part of
the contest for the honor.

KISHINEV MASSACRE
SERVED CARS PURPOSE
Attention of World Withdrawn
From Manchuria.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 30.-Interest
in the responsibility of the Russian
government for the massacre at Kishi-
new does not seem to decrease in the
slightest, and the Car is not little
disturbed at the amount of attention
that the affair has attracted.
1t was to be expected that the papers
would chronicle the disaster, but none
of the Russian officials imagined that
the indignation would be so great. It
has been suggested, however, by some
well-informed persons that while the
Car is placed in an embarrassed posi-
ton for the time being on account Of
the massacre he does not really regret
1t, because it has served to draw the
attention of the public from Man
churia, and has enabled him to further
his designs and intrench himself in the
Far East without attracting much at
tention.

Charles Emory Smith, former Post

ton, Friday night, concerning the scan
dals in the Postoffice Department, which
lasted for nearly three hours.
Mr.. Smith. who was the orator ct Ar
Iington Cemetery yesterday, came to
Washington from Philadelphia Friday
night at 500. He went directly to the
Arlington Hotel, where he was met by
Mr.. Payne. The two men went at once
to Mr.. Payne's apartments. and refused
to see any callers until after IL o'clock.
Eyes. we visited and talked about the
Postoffice trouble Mr.. Smith said, after
the conference with the Postmaster Gen
eraL But we did more visiting than
anything else
Mr. Smith Surprised.
Mr. Smith was unwilling to enter into
general discussion OF the scandal and
the letters respecting it which ne has
written to Mr.. Payne. He expressed sur
prise at the charges of Wholesale hood
ling and intimated he had never sus-
pected anything worse than a tendency
to extravaganza on the part of men who
are alleged TO have defrauded the Gov
eminent.
1.-The scandal will have no political
effect" Mr.. Smith replied when asked
if he thought the investigation will have
any influence on the campaign. The in
vestigation will be over before 1904. II
is above party lines and will work 10
injury tn the Administration.

about the effect of the Pennypacher Ii

"The newspapers do not consider that

thought it was passing a law. and PEN

SHORTAGE OF OFFICERS
STILL CAUSES ANXIETY
Secretary Moody Expected to Ar
range Vacations.

The shortage of officers in the navy
is causing increased anxiety.
Within the past year rule has been
adopted refusing ensigns and young lieu
tenants leave of absence for the reason
that the exigencies of the service are
such that they cannot be spared. This
is violation of the unwritten law of the
navy that every officer is entitled 20
one months absence each year.
On account OF the shortage. most of
the young men are performing the du-
ties OF watch and division officers, which
are not ordinarily assigned 10 them. One
of the first matters that Secretary Moody
will take up on his return next week
will be an effort to arrange short vaca-
lions for the young officers.

A St. Paul Movement to Do Away
With the Firecracker. +

Next Fourth of July the small boy of
St. Paul will pass the day in silent medi-
tation upon the virtues Of George Wash
ington. Because Rev. E. G. Mitchell, pas.
tor Of the Swedenborgian church, ST. Paul.
has called meeting and circulated petit
ton. In that petition, to be signed and
to Mr.. Mitchell, he declares that
"the present Chinese method of celebrat-
ing the Fourth of July annually produces
an immense amount Of human. suffering,
sorrow and loss; that thousands Of people
are killed; that many more are manned
or seriously injured, and that, in addi-
ton, vast losses are incurred through fires.
and the nerves Of the community, especial
ly of all invalids, are uselessly racked by
the Explosive phenom ena of the day. Hence
the petition pledges .signers ito cultivate
in the community distaste for the pres
ent dangerous and noisy method Of cele-
brating the Fourth and a desire for the
substitution of more rational methods; to
secure legal means of combining the use
of. dangerous explosives to ore day and
to limited areas; TO-. prevent the use OF
