ANGELEN0 MENTIONED
TO SUCCEED VAN DYKE
JUDGE M. F. ALLEN MAY BE THE
CHOICE
Several Other Southern CaIfornians
Possibilities for the Vacant JUS
ticeshlp-Funeral to Be Held To-
day From Family Residence
BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 26.-The
funeral of Justice Walter Van Dyke of
the state supreme court, who died sud-
denly Monday night will be held to-
morrow from the family residence at
Van Dyke and Fourth avenues in East
Oakland.
Already there is much speculative
gossip among the politicians and the
lawyers in respect to Justice Van
Dykes successor While the term for
which Judge Van Dyke was elected
will not expire until 1910, his successor
by appointment will only hold until
next January, as the vacancy will be
filled for the uneXpired term at the
general election in November.
Among the names mentioned for the
vacant Justiceship are those of Judge
M. i. Allen of Los Angeles. Judge
Williams of Ventura Judge Noyes of
Riverside, State Senator Ward of San
Diego, Judge Oster of San Bernardino,
Judge Melvin of Oakland and Judge
Sloss of San Francisco.
An interesting point will probably
be raised by Judge Van Dykes sue
cessor in relation to the salary he
shall draw The legislature at it's last
session passed a measure increasing
the salaries of the supreme justices
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year. the larger
sum to apply to the justices then in
office. The question may be raised by
appointed justices as to whether Judge
Van Dykes successor be allowed the
same salary that the now deceased
jurist drew under the law, or will he
be allowed the increase, from the en-
joyment of which Judge Van Dyke
was barred.
The terms of Justices Henshaw and
Lorigan will expire with the current
year, so that there will be three su-
preme justices to be chosen at the next
regular election.
