Greer of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese of New York, comm menting tonight

upon him, acted before he even thought
of taking steps for any other engage
ments'

NO JUDGE FROM NEW ENGLAND.
Judge Coke Seems to Be the Most
Available Candidate.
Especial to The Bulletin }


Washington, April 3.-Eastern sem
ators and representatives have about
come to the conclusion that the most
available candidate to succeed the late
Justice Brewer is Judge Alfred c..
Coke of the circuit court of New York
Judge Coke was mentioned in this con-
nection at the time Justice Lurton was
appointed, and recently refused an offer
to go on the custom court He has the
backing of Senators Root and Depew.
The New England senators have Civ
en- up hope of landing a New England
man on the supreme court bench, as
two are ALREADY there. Judge Coke is
on the same circuit with Judges Noyes
of New London. and for this reason it
is said Judge Noyes would not be a
candidate. The New England senators
will unite with those from New York
and Pennsylvania in favor of Judge
Coke. If a man from the middle west
is chosen, however, Solicitor General
Lloyd W. Bowers still has the inside
track.

A chapter of accidents began imme-

into the roof of a neighboring factory

like q flash.
'Delbrueck, in spite of his awful
condition, vainly endeavored to open
the valve, which had become entan-

merely awaited our fate.
In the meantime we passed over

soon found ourselves above the sea We
thought possibly that we might land in
Sweden, but the balloon was caught in
a raincloud which drove us down, un-
til we We're within $50 feet of the wa

but he succeeded IN pulling the ripping
cord and we fell into the water like
log. All managed to get clear of the
