LOCAL COURT VACANCY
INTEREST IN THE SELECTION OF
JUSTICE DUELL's SUCCESSOR.

News of the return to Washington OF
Chief Justice Shepard and Associate JUS
tice McComas of the District Court of APP
peals has put new life into the discussion
concerning the appointment of a successor
to Associate Justice Charles H. Duel. who
resigned two weeks ago. The general i'm
preston about the city hall Is that the two
judges will be consulted by the President
before the announcement is made Of the Sc
lection of their new colleague.
The attitude of the chief justice in rela-
ton to the person to be chosen Is not
known, but as Justice McComas is gener-
ally considered a close personal friend Of
Justice Ashley NJ. Gould of the District Su-
preme Court. the friends of the latter are
expressing the opinion that he will strongly
urge on the President the elevation of JUS
tice Gould to the vacancy.
The members of the bar are being i'm
portuned to sign petitions to the President
both in behalf of Justice Gould and Justice
Stafford. the two members of the District
Supreme Court bench who are being most
prominently mentioned for promotion. Nu-
merous signatures have been obtained in
behalf of each
The patent bar is considered to be d.
vided, some backing one or the other of the
justices mentioned and the remainder cast
ing about for some local patent attorney on
whom the patent lawyers might unite for
the purpose of impressng on the President
the necessity of having patent expert
succeed Justice Duell. Many of the latter
class of the patent bar are talking of the
qualifications OF Mr.. Joseph r. Edison. who
has practiced before the patent office most
successfully. IL is said. for a number OF
years. and is known as a patent expert.
Mr.. Edison is a member of the standing
committee on patent trademark and
copyright laws of the American Bar As
ISOLATION.
He is the author of a work on "certiorari
cases to the United States Supreme Court,
and strong advocate of the extension OF
the life of patents in proper cases. In the
interest of which he has frequently memo
rallied Congress to make legislation.
The name of Commissioner Fderedick l.
Allen Is also referred to wherever patent
lawyers congregate.
The only intimation obtainable from the
Department of Justice Is that In all likeli-
hood no selection will be made until the re-
turn of President Roosevelt in October. The
current rumor there Is that the field is
open to all candidates, the impression being
that no person was slated for the position
ct the time of Justice Duells resignation.

Grasshopper Glacier.
From Country Life in America.

One of the small glaciers in Montana is
of especial interest on account OF the fact
that in the mass Of ice there are imbedded
two strata of grasshoppers each about
foot thick There are literally tons of grass
hoppers in the ice and the question natural
ly arises as to where they came from. The
most obvious explanation Is that centuries
ago two enormous swarms In course of MI
grafton were caught in a snow storm, chilled
and buried in the snow, where they have
remained till not in a perfect state OF pres
ervation. In the accounts of the early west
ern explorers a few instances are related of
meeting large swarms of lOcusts on the
mountain tops in the Rockies. 1t is very
fortunate circumstance that the great ex-
tension of agriculture in the west has
broken up the breeding grounds Of these
insects.

The Death Of Wagner's Friend.
He died in 1854 and was succeeded upon
the throne by his son, Ludwig II. the friend
Of Wagner, of whom wrote you the other
day. After the Wagner incident. Ludwig
retired from Munich to the wilderness and
built several of the most fantastic and ex-
travagant castles that were ever known.
They are probably the most expensive
buildings that ever were erected, and none
but q crazy man with a refined taste for
art could have erected them. His eccen-
tr1cities, however. became so pronounced,
his behavior so scandalOus and his extrava-
gances so dangerous to the credit Of the
nation that the royal family, the parlia-
ment and the ministers decided that his alb
dication was necessary for the safety OF
the kingdom. A commission ode lunatico
pronounced him insane, and a medical at
tendant was appointed to take charge of
him. One night the bodies of the king and
his physician were found under the water
OF Lake Starnberg, grappled as II they had
died in struggle.
There are several theories and conjec-
wretched man sought his own death and
either forced his physician to die with him
or the latter lost his life in trying to pre-
vent him from carrying out his intentions.
Many of the peasants in the neighborhood
OF his castles do not believe that he Is
dead; they believe he Is the prisoner of the
politicians: they wear buttons on which his
portrait is painted, and revere the memory
of the strange king with the pale face and
haunted expression who was always gen
erous and considerable to- them, but some
times dashed by their cabins in the middle
Of the night like living Walkurie Ludwig
Is buried in the basilica that he built in

word in it that he did not intend
should be in it. He said that
when a written and revised state
ment had been subjected to mis-
construction he did not believe it
would be worth while to attempt
an oral correction. He took from
his pocket a manuscript, promis-
ing that he would refer to no
other notes when be had com
pleted the reading of it, and read
his declaration of his position on
the subject.
He repeated his belief in the eff
cacy of the Federal ownership of
trunk lines and the State owner,
ship of intra. State lines as soIu-
tion of the railroad question in
America. He asser rted in firm
zones that he did not assert that
he voiced the opinion of his party,
but that he gave expression to his
private opinions and belief. He
went over the subject fully and
set forth the various conditions
and causes leading him to his de-
termination. His arguments were
received with applause, and if
there had been many who dlsap-
proved his remarks, as delivered
in his Madison Square Garden adj
dress, there were few in the audi
ence when he finished who did not
express approval of his attitude
10 convincing and noisy fashion.
His declaration that his statements
ON the subject had been received
with less criticism than he had ex-
pected was greeted with great ap-
plause. La reference to State own-
ership he took occasion to say:
81 have no idea that the railroads
are going to permit regulation
without struggle, and 1 fear that
their influence will be strong
enough to very much delay, if it
does not entirely defeat, remedial
legislation. You, in this State,
know something of the railroad
ia politics. When | visited the
State and spoke to Mr.. Goebel /
heard him charge upon every plat
form that the railroads were spend
ing large sums in opposition to his
election, and | have always be-
lieved that the railroad influence
was largely responsible for the as
sasination of that brave defender
of the rights of the people,
Mr.. Bryan charged that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had gained much
of his popularity by taking up the
of Democracy, and ac-
companied the statement by numer-
GUS proofs.
He said that in his travels old
age had come upon him and that
be had been forced to use eye
glasses, remarking that even if it
took four eyes now where it
formerly took but two, he still
saw all things from a Democratic
standpoint.
He devoted considerable time to
he discussion of the tariff, and
'et forth that the people of the
country need not look to those
interests which are protected by
to reduce the tariff. He said

Reaffirming in unmistakable
terms his declarations in regard to
governmental ownership of rail
roads and expounding in eloquent
language the doctrine and de.
mands of preseut-day Democracy,
William Jennings Bryan spoke for
one hour and thirty minutes in the
Jefferson County Armory ut Louis
vile, before a crowd of twenty
two thousand people. Standing
in the Gateway to the South, he
was greeted by great concourse
Of citizens, assembled to welcome
him on behalf of the Southern
States. He smiled as he said, ''my
friends" and glad cheers almost
shook the foundations of the big
structure. Now and again in his
address, he repeated;
81 bring to you a message of
encouragement If anyone asks
you for an evidence of a growing
disapproval of Republican admin
istration. read him the returns
from Maine y
The crowd had packed the build
ing to its capacity, when at 5
O'Clock the speakers and those who
occupied seats upon the platform
entered. The sight of Mr.. Bryan
walking arm in arm with Henry
Watterson, was the signal for the
applause. 1t continued in heavy
volunae of sognd for four minutes,
when Mr.. Watterson walked to
the front of the stage. He spoke
as chairman of the meeting and
introduced Senator Carmack, of
Tennessee, who paid high compli-
ment to the South's guest of
homer MIR. WattersoR then in
trodueed Senator Stone, of Mis-
souri,, who spoke briefly, adding
his complimentary estimate to the
general tribute and closed by in
PRODUCING Mr. Bryan.
When the distinguished private
citizen arose, the second great
demonstration of the evening oc-
Cured. Ten thousand American
flags had been distributed through
the hall. They we're waved by
ten thousand enthusiastic hands
and preseuted lively scene, add
ing much to the brilliancy of the
occasion. The services of the
band were not sufficient to stop
the cheering, and Mr.. Bryan stood
for full five minutes, using big
palm-leaf fan and smiling in ap-
probation of the welcome. Att
length, after he had raised his
hands in an appeal for quiet, or
der was restored and he began his
address. For some time it was
difficult for him to proceed on ac-
count of the continual Interrupt
lions by applause. After his in
.roductory remarks, he announced
hat he would take up again the
question, which he had touched
Upon in his New York address and
which had resulted in so much COM
nent, referring to the govern
mental ownership of railroads. He

He closed his address as fol-
lows:
''Our nation is the light of the
world. l want it to set an ex-
ample that will be blessing to
the race. | want its flag to stand
SO high that it can be seen the
world around; and by the flag of
the Republic | want to see the flag
of Democracy, so that when peo-
pie look they will not only see
the flag of nation whose institu-
tions are Republican, but the flag
of a party whose policies and prin-
ciples are Democratic. This is
my conception of what our nation
should be and what our party
should do; and | gladly come to
present these thoughts in this
Gateway of the South, for ] know
here we have the home of Demo
cratic sentiment and that anything
that is Democratic, that means the
rule of the people, that means

vinced that the country must
choose between government own

from those who suffer from its
provisions. In that connection he
told the story of a thief who went
into a clothing store and, while
the proprietor was engaged, put
on coat and ran out of the store.
The proprietor followed crying,
"Stop thief" but the man contin-
ued running. At length police

ened to shoot the man if he did
not stop. Then the m ere hant
rushed 10 the officer and exlaimed:
"If you do shoot him, shoot him

Mr.. Bryan explained that the
protective interests have clothed
the tariff in their garments and
they are not willing for it to be
shot in any part for fear of dam
aging their garments.
