night and was still falling early today. The
low record of new fever cases during the

In pulling down the total. Some sections of

that some cases were unreported for that
reason. The country reports continue to be
exceedingly gratifying. Yesterday there
were ffty-six cases throughout the state
communicated TO the state board. but the
reports from some points covered several
days. There was a total of only four
deaths.
The worst is believed to be over at Pat

An important statement concerning the

has special reasons-and he may have-for
making the appointment personally, the
nomination will be made and submitted to
him as have Indicated

A lawyer who has closely observed the
Judgeshp situation said from his viewpoint
President Roosevelt will want to consult
with certain persons here before he selects
the new Police Court judge. in order to
learn more about the qualifications of the
candidates for the place, their personal
habits, etc..
You know said this attorney. 1.-The
President Is. a very particular man in little
things, as well as big ones. understand
he has his own views as to the character
of the man who should fill such place

believe he is going to be in hurry to make
the appointment until he Is sure he has the
right man.
It is said the Attorney General is aware
that the President desires what Is known
as "square-deal" man for the place, and
will. make the nomination accordingly.
