CHIEF JUSTICE MAY RETIRE.
Rumors Regarding The Posi-
BILE Retirement of Chief
Justice Fuller
Afioat.

Washington, ID. O., Feb. ll.-Ru-
mors regarding the possible retirement
of Chief Justice Fuller were set afioat
again today when it became known
that this was the seventy birth
day of the Chief Justice, and the age
at which he becomes eligible for re-
tirement from the surpeme bench and
enjoy a salary of $40, 500 q year as
long as he lives.
Those who pretend to have inside
information declare that Justice Full
Ter will resign his Office next month,
or Immediately after he has admins
tered the oath of Office to President
Roosevelt. It is reported BY the same
persons to be the Presidents plan TO
offer the post of Chief Justice TO Sec
retary Taft. President Roosevelt
would have appointed Secretary Taft
to the supreme bench two years ago,
but Mr.. Taft, then Civil Governor of
the Philippines, decided not ca aban-
don his responsible work in the is
lands. Should he assume the Chief
Justiceship, he would be eliminated
from consideration as a possible pTesi-
Dental candidate four years from
now.
Should Chief Justice Fuller resign,
as reported, he will establish a pre-
cedent. as no Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court has ever resigned before.
All have died on the bench. The res
ignation of Justice Fuller would like
wise remove a most interesting figure
from Washington official life. He is
a native of Maine, but lived "out
west" so long that he is regarded as a
typical Westerner. He was born at
Augusta, Me-, on February IL, 1888 /;
was graduated at Bowdoin, and at
tended course of lectures in Harvard
Law School. He was admitted to the
bar at Augusta in 1866, and was asso-
ciate editor of q Democratic newspa-
per. The following year he went to
Chicago, and practiced there until
1888. when he was appointed to the
Supreme Bench by President Cleve-
land. He had been a member of the
Illinois constitutional convention, of
the legislature from 1868 to 1866, and
a delegate to the Democratic national
conventions of 1864. 1872, 1876 and
1880. Chief Justice Fuller has admin
istered the oath of Office to four Presi-
dents-Harrison, Cleveland and Nc
Kinley twice, and next month will
add fifth to his record breaking list.

WILL SOON COMMENCE.
The Experiment Station Across
From The Naval Academy
Will Be Ere cted.

All of the necessary details have
been completed for starting work ON
the construction of the experiment
station TO be established on the site of
Fort Madison. Ii is expected that
work will have progressed to such a
degree by next summer that the build
ing can receive its machinery.
The idea of establishing an experi-
ment station in close touch with the
Naval Academy has been under dis
ousslon for a number of years, but il
was only in the latter part of last
year that it took any tangible shane.
Plans have been rushed as it was de-
sired TO have the plant in complete
operation at the earliest possible mo.
ment IN order that experiments might
soon be started. The first stems in the
matter were taken when q well drill.
ing company was given the contract
Tor carrying ON series of test drills
or borings. In all 100 borings were
made co determine the nature of the
material on which It would be neces-
sary TO build the foundation.
Ii was found that tine foundations
would have to be sunk to consider
able extent in order to reach a solid
bottom, but that they could be built
with great safety. These borings were
completed. but a short time since.
The report was forwarded to the de-
partment at Washington and an ap-
preparation was made for the purpose
of beginning work on the building.
The plans have been completed and
Commander W. 4. Worthintgon has
been placed in charge of the work.
When completed the building will be
used for the purpose of testing naval
apparatus, principally engines. 1t
will require a considerable number of
persons TO equip the mechanical de.
partment of the building and it is
highly probable that this will have a
considerable effect on real estate
values on the other side of the Severn
river.

Midshipman For Marine Officer

1t is possible that President Roose-
velt may designate Benjamin B. Cos.
sett, of Williamson, South Carolina,
as second lieutenant in the Marine
Corps. Gossett was until few days
ago a member of the third class of
midshipmen at the Naval Academy,
but he was found to be slightly below
the requirements in studies, and the
authorities recommended that he go
back into the next lowest class-the
fourth. He desired to remain in the
navy, although he did not like the
idea of stepping down while his for
mer classmates went on ahead of
him. He therefore voluntarily re-
signed. He then went to Washington
to ascertain whether or not he could
ia any way be reinstated in the navy.
The Secretary of the Navy recommend
ed him for an appointment to the Ma
rine Corps, with which it is said he is
satisfied.

Moving Pictures.

That sterling attraction, the Twen-
lieth Century Moving Picture Com
pany will fill an engagement at the

day evenings, February 13 and IA
Their pictures are varied, timely, in
teresting, fantastical aud spectacular
in effect. "Fairyland" that grand
spectacular creation, will show in its
full completeness during the engage

Dental Surgeons In Navy

The House Committee on Naval
Affairs have reported favorably H. X.
1922. authorizing the Appointment of
dental surgeons in the Navy. The
committee in their report note that at
present there is no provision of law
under which the Department can en-
ploy dental surgeons except one for
service at the Naval Academy. There
exists in the Navy as much, if not
more, urgent need of the service of
dental surgeons than exists in the
Army, and quite as potent reasons,
both humane and economic, for sup
plying the need. First, because of
the early age at which large percent.

because of the longer periods those al
