May Be Two designations in
The United States Su-
preme Court.
TO CONVENE IN OCTOBER
(American News Service)


Washington, Sept 1S.-When the
United States supreme court re-assem-
bles for the fall term, October II, it is
probable that two members of that tri-
bunal will not be In their accustomed
places. Associate Justice John Mar
shall Harlan of Kentucky and Associ-
ate Justice William H. Moody of Mas
sachusetts have been in i'll health for
some time, and it is not unlikely that
they will be unable to sit when the
court meets. If one of them should
retire it is believed here that Governo-
Hughes of New York, provided he
would accept the place, which is
thought doubtful, would be appointed
to the vacancy by President Taft.
Justice Moody recently denied the
reports that on account of i'll health.
his retirement might be expected. 1t
is known. however, that he has not for
some time been enjoying his usual
health. but announcement that he had
left the bench would not be a surpris,
to those who have kept informed of
supreme court matters.

Gear long before the latter came to
fame, and he recalled yesterday that
one of the hardest jolts he ever got

struck him on the shin and knocked

one just north of Leon and one near the
old Peterson place. They have gone
through the winter and there is not a
crack or break in them. They are four
feet in the clear and twenty-four feet
long, and the township trustees will
not be bothered about replacing these
