JAMES S. HARLAN
SLATED FOR BENCH
Taft Said to Favor Supreme
Justices Son to Sue
coed Bethea.

CHICAGO. H., Aug. 29.-James s.
Harlan. Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner and a son of Justice John NJ.
Harlan. of the United States Supreme
Court, is regarded by those who have
the ear Of President Taft as his almost
certain choice for the vacancy OF the
United States District Bench caused
by the death Of Judge s. H.. Bethea. It
is well understood that the President is
not to announce any appointment until
Congress IS convened I'm December, but
It is also pretty well understood that
his mind Is about made up on the ap-
pointment.
Solicitor General Lloyd w. Bowers is
20 make a report to the President with
in a few days concerning available law
yers for that vacancy He started East
early yesterday after g-um-shoeing
around here for two days on the trail
of a prospective judge, and his report is
TO be made as soon as he sees Mr..
Taft.
While he was here he REINFORCED his
own personal knowledge Of various cam
didates for the place with information
gathered from all his intimates in the
legal profession. and is prepared TO re-
port upon all who have been mentioned
for the place. and upon several who
have not been mentioned.
Harlan's Legal Standing.
The list OF those about whom Mr..
Bowers made close inquiries are Sen
ator Corbus p. Gardner OF Mendoza.
Speaker E. D. Shurtlen. Of Marengo;
former District Attorney Charles 3.
Morrison. Of Dixon: Representative Ap-
-Mr go n-Aar-- Ena---- -
Mr.. Harlan.
His inquiries concerning Mr.. Harlan,
It is understood, were Of an entirely diff
ferent nature from those he made con
corning the other possibilities. He ask
ed as to The legal standing Of the others,
but he wanted 20 know how Mr.. Har-
lan's appointment would be received. in
dicating that the President is well sat
ished as to Mr.. Harlan's qualifications.
When Mr.. Harlan's name was first
mentioned in connection with the Judge
ship, II was stated that his appoint
ment would in all probability be con-
tingent upon the retirement of his
father from the Supreme Bench, but
influential C-hicagoans who have seen
the President recently say he is about
ready TO offer the place without any
strings to it.
Presidents Own Idea.
The younger Harlan. again, according
20 the Presidents Chicago friends, is
the Presidents idea for a Federal
judge, and il is expected that II he is
appointed district Judge he viii he pro-
NOTED 10 a circuit judgeship II there
should occur a vacancy in which the
President. could place him.
And it is the opinion Of those Chi
cago friends Of the President that Sen
ator Gardner. who Is working for the
5udgeship. Speaker Shurtlef, who would
like il. but considers # unethical 70
seek Endorsements for such a place and
the other half-dozen aspirants. may as
well abandon their ambitions

LOUISVILLE, Aug. o. - Reuben
