Nominating Supreme Judges.

Following an editorial in a recent
issue of T h e J n with regard
to nominations for the supreme bench
and the proposition that the Judges be
nominated first, the attorney of the
Hennepin county board Of commits
sioners suggests that two conventions
be held. He would have the repub-
lican state central committee in it's call
provide for two conventions, and sug-
gests that inasmuch as St. Paul and
Duluth want the republican state con-
vention, one Of them be called at the
latter place, say the judicial conven-
| ton, to be held week or ten days
after the regular state convention, and
| constituted of a separate set Of dele
gates so as to remove the judiciary
as far as possible from political in
| tluences.
Possibly the first objection to this
will be the expense. The expense of
hall and all other costs of that nature
accruing in connection with the con-
vention would doubtless be borne by
either Minneapolis OR Duluth for the
|
vention called at either one of those
cities, while with different basis OF
representation it would not be neces-
sary to bring a thousand men together
to select the judges. Membership
could be made up very largely OF
members Of the legal profession, and
the responsibility for wise selections
would be placed largely upon those
best qualified to discharge the trust.
We are not very hopeful, tho, that
the state committee will make any
such provision in its call, but thai
it would result in wiser selections thar
Is likely to be made at the end of q
convention, where political considera-
tons and personal rivalries have beer
fought out, can hardly be doubted. II
would be a fine thing for the party an6
for the state to try it.

ARCHDUKE IN LOVE WITH
PROFESSORS DAUGHTER
Ferdinand Charles, Nephew of
Austria's Emperor, Wanted to
Wed Common Girl.
ROYAL CONSENT DENIED

VIENNA, Jan. 19-According to Die
Zeit, Archduke Ferdinand Charles. nephew
of Emperor Francis Joseph and brother of
the heir presumptive to the throne of Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand is about TO marry
the daughter of Herr Emmanuel Czuber,
professor of mathematics at Vienna Univer-
sity. The archduke became acquainted with
the professors daughter at Prague. where
the archduke was commander of an infantry
brigade. The relatives Of both are said to be
making strenuous endeavors to induce the
archduke to abandon his intention, but he is
of a decisive character and 1t is difficult to
move him from position he has once
adopted
The intended bride is twenty-three years
of age The archduke has been prominent
in Viennese society, is very cultured and is
a clever amateur actor, and it is believed
that if he marries he will follow the exam
pie of Leopold Woelfing formerly Archduke
Leopold of Tuscany, who married Mile
Adamovich, a dancer, and renounced the
dignity of archduke.
The Zet publishes an interview with Pro-
fessor Czuber, who says that on Dec. q the
archduke formally asked for the hand of
his daughter Bertha, to which Herr Czuber
replied that he was without influence in the
matter. The professors daughter is now
here. She is described as being very beau
tiful. with a graceful and slender figure
The archduke's proposal to marry the
daughter of commoner has caused the
more astonishment because ii is said he
strongly opposed the marriage of his
brother, Archduke Francis Ferdinand. with
Countess Chotek, account of the in
equality Of their social positions and re-
fused to participate in his brothers we'd
ding festivities.
The family of Archduke Ferdinand
Charles has in the past made number of
plans for his marriage TO some royal person.
age, but these were all futile. The archduke
is now at Prague
II was learned tonight in wel-informed
circles that Archduke Ferdinand Charles
has. owing to the opposition of Emperor
Francis Joseph, given up his project OF
marrying Pauline Czuber 1t is said that he
consulted with his brother. Archduke Otto
Francis. who privately approached the EN-
peror in the matter. His Majesty refused
emphatically to give his consent to the
marriage. Archduke Ferdinand Charles
finally renounced his intention of making
the professors daughter mis- wife. He will
seek 10 forget the affair through foreign
travel.

DECLARE HARRISON WILL
HAS BEEN M|SCONSTRUED
Col. Harrison, Son of Ex-Presi-
dent, and Mrs. Mckee File
Exceptions to Report.
QUESTION TRUST FUND

Col. Russell B. Harrison. trustee for his
two children, and Mrs. Mary Harrison Nc
Kee filed their exceptions yesterday to the
first current report of the Union Trust
Company as executors under the will of the
late Gen. Benjamin Harrison. The excep-
tors claim that the executor has miscon-
srrued the will and ask that the report
be disallowed.
The principal objection to the report is
in the construction of the first item of Cen
eral Harrison's will. which states that the
first charge against his estate should be
to provide a trust fund for his widow, Mary
Lord Harrison, to the amount of $125, 600. By
the express terms of the will the Union
Trust Company "shall have the right TO
take over for this trust fund all stocks
bonds, notes, etc, that may belong to me
at my death at the price paid therefor"
A number of the securities held by General
Harrison at the time of his death have in
creased considerably over the price paid
for them, but according to the terms of the
will they were put in the trust fund at the
cost price, so that creating the trust fund as
General Harrison intended it amounts to
s125, 900, though should these securities be
sold at their appraised value the trust fund
would amount to about S31. 500.
The eXceptors contend that these securities
should be sold at their appraised value and
that $l25,00O in cash should constitute the
trust fund.

Benham had since death communicated
with friends on earth regarding the will
contest and had, through spirits and me-
diums told them that, had she known before
her death that her will would be attacked
would have arranged matters in her life so
that no trouble would have resulted. She
was able to see this now. Mrs. Leeds also
testified that Mrs Benham, during her life
consulted with her husband, who was dead,
regarding the management of her property
and that she followed his advice.
Mrs. Leeds, whose husband, Ofiey Leeds.
was a Michigan City business man, stated
on the stand that she also frequently
consulted her dead husband. through medi-
ums and spirits. regarding the management
of her property. She also exhibited in court

colors, and a lot of fine writing. which she
swore were the picture of her husband and
a communication from him. the picture
and writing having appeared on states
while they were firmly grasped in her hand
and while she stood on them.
The will of Mrs. Benham was attacked
on the ground that the testator was inca
pable of executing valid document Mrs
Leeds was a witness for defense. The Jury

.CITYS WEALTHY MEN TO
CARE FOR PAROLED BOYS
Manufacturers Formulate Plans by
Which All Plainheld Lads Will
Be Given Positions.
ONE BOY FOR EACH MAN

A number of the prominent manufacturers
of the city met yesterday evening in the
Office of William c. Van Arsdel, in the In
diana Trust building, to formulate some
plan by which the boys paroied from the
Indiana Reform School at Plainield may
secure positions in the various manufactur-
ing plants in the city.
When the arrangement was made between
the board of control of the Reform School
and Judge Stubbs, of the Juvenile Court,
some time ago, to bring the boys who were
paroled from the institution before the Ju-
venile Court to be discharged and a place
found for them if possible, Mr.. Van Arsdel,
who is a member of the board, was greatly
pleased with the plan. He thought it would
be advisable to meet number of the manu-
facturers TO see If positions could not be
found for all the boys between the ages of
fourteen and twenty-one years who are
paroled
A committee of ten of the leading manu-
facturers will be selected who will write a
letter to each manufacturer in the city,
asking him if he can find place for boy.
and also asking him whether he wants a
colored or white boy, and the age of such
a boy so desired.
To each letter will be attached a reply
card. When the replies are received they
when a boy is found who fits the Qualfca-
tions desired by any OF the manufacturers,
he will be sent to that manufacturer
The men selected on the committee last
night Hugh II. Hanna, John L. Ketch-
am, d. NJ. Parry, Henry c. Atkins William
Eaglesfeld, T. b. Laycock and Addison III.
Nordyke. Three other men will be selected
to-day.

head were placed in a plaster cast. Dunn
was laid upon a table and heavy weights
attached 10 his head and feet. He was

cast was removed the body found TO be
as sound as ever.
