TO FILL THE VACANCY.
OF STATES
ATTORNEY TO BE MADE
MIR. Jas W. Owens Seems to Have
Preference Over Other
ASpirantS.

While many members of the bench
and bar are reticent at this time In re-
gard TO the matter of successor 10
the late States Attorney CAN'T. con.
sidering it rather indelicate so soon
after his death there seems TO he n
general expression of feeling that an
appointment should be made shortly.
1t is urged that the position is one
OF great importance and that the
county should not be longer without n
States Attorney than is absolutely
necessary. Taking this view of the
matter many names have been men
toned IN connection with the appoint
ment and tho many friends of the can
didates are urging their appointment.
As Mr.. CAN'T had served but little
over one year of his term there re-
mains nearly three years more of the
term TO be filled. This duty devolves
upon the judges of the Circuit Court
for this county who will make the ap.
pointment for the remaining three
years. Formerly the time of appoint
ment would be until the next general
county election, but recent legisla-
ture changed the manner of appoint
ment, making it endure during the
term of the person elected TO the office
AT the time Mr.. CAN'T was nomi-
mated to the Office by the Democratic
convention Mr.. James W. Owens had
Withdrawn his name from the first
convention for the position of States 5
Attorney. This ho did for the good of
the party and the harmony which his
action brought about. 1t is to him
in the opinion of his many friends.
that the appointment should be given
They urge that had it not been for his
love of party in Withdrawing his name
he would have retained the nomination
and been elected. Further than that
his standing, general worth, knowl
edge of matters legal and their appli
cation in this county, fit him for the
position. Many of his friends are talk
ing along these, lines and will make
every effort to secure for him the ap.
pointment.
Mr.. A. Theodore Brady, nephew of
Judge James Revell, is also mention
ed in connection with the appoint
ment. He has ma1y friends who will
rally to his support. He and Mr..
Owens are most prominently mention
ed in connection with the position and
while other names have been men.
toned it is not thought that dark
horse will come in and get the posi-
tion. The Capital interviewed and
asked Mr.. Owens if he would apply
for the position. His reply was II
decline to discuss the question now
for the reason that / think it is a re.
fiection on any man to ask for an
others shoes before he has put them
off. When Mr.. CAN'T is buried | will
then determine what | will do. If |
could get the position by scramble
now it would be at the cost of my. own
solf-respect and l am not disposed to
offer any such price.

THE BAY ICE COVERED.
A Solid Sheet of Ice Covers Its
Entire Surface-Naviga
ton Hampered.

Not local craft moved out of the
harbor basin this morning. Many Of
them. had urgent business elsew here
or were desirous of going after loads
of sand, gravel or other cargoes.
Their captains and crews, however,
were forced to content themselves with
the thought that summer will surely
come again.
The harbor, the basin and the bay
were frozen over with a thick coating
of ice which defied the breaking
power of all but the largest boats.
For the first time this winter was tht
harbor ice bound. As far as the eve
could see stretched a coating of
smooth, heavy ice. 1t had frozen hard
during the night and as there was
practically no wind blowing the sur
face was glisten1ng mirror.
The Susqehanna .of the COLCHESTER
Steamboat Company came down some
what late this morning after a very
interesting battle with the ice. No
great trouble was experienced in
forcing her way through the ice but
slow speed had to be maintained to
prevent injury to the hull. She re-
ported passing nothing but a couple
of large ocean freighters which were
making slow progress.
After leaving here the Susquehanna
returned direct to Baltimore not at
tempting to make any of the river
landings. There are many boats frozen
fast in the harbor and they will be
unable to move until a breakup or
heavy thaw. There is plenty of coal
in the city and the suspension of bay
travel even though it be for several
days will not be felt.

and on account of this thousands In
vested in the Mirage and lost. The
poverty stricken men and women, the
hurried deaths and insane minds
caused by this disastrous venture Is
reported to be appalling. How long
will it be possible to do these things
in America and the promoters go free?
1t seems impossible by any logic to
keep the many from investing their
hard earned savings in far off Wild
Cat imaginative schemes. Everybody
knows that no one at home will know
ingly give them an opportunity to get
into thing that is really good. They
know it is not human nature, they
would not do it themselves, yet they
fling their money out in thousands to
far off peoples and enterprises vainly
hoping that human nature will be diff
ferent from at home, and that other
people will give them chance to share
in the great profits which may be
made. Delusive hope, not one In a
thousand ever does anything but lose.
The only way to curb it is to hold
Promoters and directors to a strict
criminal accountability for their say
ings and acts where they solicit public
monies to aid in their ventures. Here
is where publicity is wanted and any
misstatements of facts should be pun
ished severely and swiftly. 1t is the
promoters and directors, business tC
know not to gamble or guess about
enterprises in which they have invited
others to invest. 1t can be depende:
on that if a thing is really good al
outsider never gets in except it is th'
{ idea of the Directors to get lot inter
J ested so they can make more money
gambling in the stock than. in the en-
! terprise itself. Turning from a dis
