HARLAN MAY BE
NAMED JUSTICE
LIKELY TO QUIT INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION FOR
BENCH.

Washington, Oct 24-The probable
ity of the retirement from the inter
state commerce commission of James
S. Harlan, son of Associate Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court, to accept appointment as Unit
ed States district judge for the north
ern district of Illinois to succeed the
late Solomon Bethea, is again being
discussed. In the event of this cnange
being made, an Illinois man will prob
ably succeed Mr.. Harlan on the cons
mission and Associate Justice Harlan
will, it is believed, retire.
At one time Justice Harlan pro-
posed to President Roosevelt to retire
from the supreme bench and permit
the president to name his successor
II his son James, at that time attor-
ney general of Porto Rico, could be
named to fill vacancy in the United
States district court for northern Thi-
nois. President Roosevelt was agree
able but the Illinois senators objected
to the appointment of Harlan, Jr. The
objection no longer exists, especially
if Illinois can secure the place on the
interstate commerce commission.

STILL AT LARGE.
Bank Robbers Seemingly Have EIud-
ed Pursuers.

ManitoWoc, Wis, Oct. 24.-Seen at
st. John, small settlement in Calu-
met county, near Hilbert, the men
who robbed the Reedsville bank are
believed to be still in the vicinity
and Manitowoc and Calumet county
authorities are working together in
searching for the three believed to
have been implicated. G. J. Ohm, the
butcher whose team was stolen by the
robbers went to st. John at once
when the report was received that the
men had passed through there and he
is following the trail in hope that the
robbers abandoned the horses to some
farmer. The bank has reopened and
there was no indication of a run or
trouble of any kind.
