FAITH AND WORK
IS STARS RECIPE
Miss Billie Burke Believes
F. Woman Can Be What
She Wishes.

Miss Billie Burke. who comes TO the
National this week In Mrs. Dot in
response TO requests from young women
for the secret Of success, has given her
version OF II. She says:
Il have been asked to write such
things about my success on the stage as
may prove helpful to other young
women.
Il have believed from the first that 7
would succeed and I have left nothing
undone that hard work and the best OF
my intelligence could do 70 bring II
about.
The line in Mrs Dot on which the
curtain falls at the end Of the first act
Is to the effect that a woman can gen
orally get what she Wants-f she goes
after Il in the proper way have
proved il 10 be true. Three years ago
nothing seemed more impossible than
that I should ever be e star But had
determined 70 succeed.
Then I was an unknown, struggling
girl who wanted 20 be an actress L
was determined 70 be good actress
out I very soon found cut that II eT-
peCted managers and stage directors 70
give me a chance / would have 20 think
Of their interests also and try to help
them even IN the smallest parts
The result was that the chance came
to me. and IN Love Watches ] made
my first success and became a Frohman
star.
IN Mrs Dot I have beer lucky
again. But these successes make me
very humble rather than proud for j
know that shall have TO do much to
deserve them at the public's hands 50
much kindness from the public puts one
in the publiC's debt. The only way I
have Of paying II IS TO keep on irving TO
portray and make attractive TIE quail
ties which make woman an influence for
good

TAFT WEIGHS MANY
FOR SUPREME BENCH
Not Yet Concluded From
What Section the New
Justice Will Come.
By JOHN SNURE

President Taft has by no means made
Up his mind what man he viii select to
Ill the vacancy on the Supreme Court
but he has determined that this is the
most important question before him and
that he VIII devote a. great deal Of
careful attention to It
Despite a vast amount Of gossip TO
the contrary, the President has not de-
cided what part Of the country he VIII
select the new justice from Appar-
entity IL VIII be from the Second cir
cult, which includes New York, Vermont
and Connecticut, or from the Eighth
circuit, which Includes Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri. Arkansas. Nebraska. Colo
rado. Kansas, the DakOtas, Oklahoma
Wyoming Utah and the Territory OF
New Mexico
The Third circuit. however. which n
clUdes Pennsylvania. New Jersey, and
Delaware, has no member Of the Su-
preme Court, and the new justice might
appropriately be drawn from that part
OF the country
The New York circuit argues that Il Is
entitled 20 tie new justice for the rea-
son that the late Justice Peckhar was
from that circuit and when his success
SOr was named, the President picked
Justice LUTtOn, Of Tennessee. in the
Sixth circuit, which was already rep
resented on the bench b. Justice Har-
Ian
IN view OF the vast Interests that the
state Of New York has affected bv Su-
preme Court decisions, e Is urged the
state, or the circuit Of which il is a
part, should be represented
West Demands a Judge.
On the other hand. the Eighth cir
cult. one of enormous geographical
extent and filing with a vast popuIa-
ton, has been left without represen-
tation On the Supreme Court by the
death OF Justice Brewer That circuit
insists It Is too big to be passed over
without having a member on the
bench.
1t Is pointed out that all the terri
tory from Illinois 10 the Pacific coast
Is without representation on the Su-
illinois has CHEZ Justice Fuller.
California has Justice MCKenna- But
from the region between, a country
about 2.000 miles wide, there IS no
member Of the court
The Pennsylvania circuit could put
I'D a strong argument as to why IL
should have the Justice II is as well
entitled 70 representation as che Sec
Ond and Eighth Circuits But the
consensus Of opinion here is that the
appointment viii go 10 the Eighth
circuit or 10 the Second, and that If
il goes TO the Second II viii go 10 the
State OF New York.

ORDER NEW WIRE SYSTEM.
Public Service Commission PrOvtde-
Flnn for the Twin Cities.

Newport. June l5.-Rufus w Spear,
clerk of the Public Service commission,
makes public to-day order No. 49, reat-
ing to the Improvement in the wire sys-
TEN at Montpelier and Barre. The petit
tlon was brought by benjamin Gates at
the suggestion OF tho Public Service COM
mission. Tho respondents are the Con-
soldatcd Lighting company. Vermont
Power & Light company, Vermont Tele-
phone e. Telegraph company and Cory
Deavitt- Frost Electric company. Later
the New England Telephone & Telegraph
company and the Barre & Montpelier
Traction & Power company and Moody 4
Almon because parties to the petition.
The commission after two hearings on
tho matter found that the wiring system
was very unsafe both as to public safety
and danger to workmen repairing the
lines The commission also found that it
would be unjust to ask the corporations
interested to place these wires under
ground as the estimated cost for the sys-
tenn was placed at 500 600. The expert en-
ployed by the commission prepared speCi-
fcations OF a new system OF wiring which
has been accepted by all the parties ex-
cept Moody & Almon.
Tho expense has been appor,ioned by
contract SO the commission has made no
order regarding It. Only part of the order
is to be executed this year and the re-
mnlnder to be finished by year or more.
until the whole plan IL completed.
by agreement of all parties and by
consent OF C. n, w. Jarvis, assistant en-
gtneer OF the New England Telephone 4

appointed him as superintendent and all
