WILSON WILL APPOINT
SUCCESSOR TO REID

Many persons point out that If Mt
Bryan is to receive anything from the
new administration, President Elect
Wilson could do no better than 10 give
him the vacancy-the highest which
could be bestowed upon any one in a
foreign field.
Closer TO the new President than
almost any os those being discussed
is Senator O'Gorman. He would make
a good successor to Ambassador REID,
IL is said. and the appointment would
be more than pleasing TO the new ad-
ministration head.
If the South is 10 be drawn upon.
Il will be well to keep an eye on both
the Georgia Senators and Tucker ana
Montague. of Virginia. They have al
ready been set down for something.
and it may be that one Of them may
be called upon TO serve his country
abroad.
II became practically certain some
time ago THAT either Tucker or Monta-
que. or possibly both. Were slated for
high places in the Wilson administra-
ton. and although Governor wilson
said nothing bearing on the matter.
there are certain signs that show
which way the political wind is blow
ing.
With either Governor Montague or
Harry Tucker placed in the ambassa-
dorial field. the race would be an open
one for other Virginians with a hum
gering for a taste of White House
pie OF course, il is not certain that
Virginia will be SO fortunate as to
get the highest appointment in the
gift of the new President. but il is
Just as likely as not to turn out that
way p H. MEG.

TAKE
OVER De LEON JOB
Court Allows Missing Mans
Surety to Continue Work on
County Building. /

The Fidelity and Deposit Company Of
Maryland today was granted authority
by the superior court to continue the
construction of the Fulton court house,
carrying out the contract held by Noise
DeLeon when that prominent contractor
disappeared in the North. No word has
been heard from the missing man, and
the receivers appointed to take charge
Of his business today asked the court
to permit his bondsmen to continue the
work
The bond company guaranteed De-
Leon for an amount twice that of his
contract, and should the work not be
completed, the county could require tho
company TO make good all losses. It
was in the province of the company to
take over the contract on its own ac-
count, and this It has done, upon order
of the court The receivers, Ronald
Ransom and H. l.. Frazer, signed the
petition asking that the bondsmen be.
permitted to assume the contract and
continue It.
Wife Refuses 10 Give Up Hope.
While no word has come from Noise
DeLeon since he left a Chicago suburb
several weeks ago, presumably to go to
Saginaw. Mich. for q fishing trip, his
wife continues to express her conflt-
dence in his return.
Il shall never give up hope-nevew,- .
she told a reporter. II am confident Mr..
DeLeon is in the woods somewhere and
will return"
Friends of the contractor are not So
optimistic. They point out that De-
Leon was methodical, careful, far
seeing, and they say he would never
have gone away and left his business
affairs unprovided for. They believe he
wandered into some Chicago slum, was
sandbagged by gangsters for the heavy
roll Of bills and the fine watch he al
ways carried, and his body sunk in the
lake or river. The Chicago police have
made diligent search. Several bodies
have been found and examined at the
morgue, but none was that of the At,
lanta contractor.
There is not the slightest clew to the
movements Of DeLeon since he left a
friends home near Chicago and started
for Saginaw.

Mary Algood Jones is a formidable
name When one reads in the papers
that it belongs to the champion horse
woman of the whole South one pictures
tall, imperious woman in glossy silk
hat and with hunting crop, posing
against hurdle. It's a relief to find
the name belongs to a jolly girl of
eighteen, in a khaki divided skirt. a
white MILDLY blouse and a tangle of
brown hair falling over a sun tanned
face. Miss Jones doesn't put on any
side despite her recent victories at
the Asheville horse show. She is as
natural as most folk who prefer horses
and dogs and out-of doors to bridge.
embroidery and gossip.
But goodness knows she'd have a
right to, if trophies count for anything.
The wall of her den" in the new West
Fourteenth street home into which the
Jones family is just moving. is fairly
covered with rosettes and ribbons Of
blue, red and yellow-and they're most
ly blue, which means first prize.
"Oh, that's only a few" laughed Miss
Jones. "You know I've ridden and won
for lots of owners, but only few gave
me the ribbons. Naturally, they want
to keep the trophies their horses won.
Most of these-I won with my own
horses"
$1,000 Mare One of Her Trophies.
And speaking of trophies, what do
you think of a magnificent brown mare,
a real high school horse" worth $1,000,
being given as a prize by horse show?
Well, Hazel Queen is the horse and
1.-THE Interstate association offered her
to the best woman rider in the arena.
Miss Jones entered And now Hazel
Queen is trying to paw the walls out
of Miss Jones stable in West Four
teenth street.
She is a beauty and her new owner
spends three-fourths of the time either
in the saddle or in the paddock. And
Hazel seems to be as fond of her mis-
tress as her mistress is of Hazel. And
don't forget Cock Robin, the bay pony
which has won so many blues for Miss
Jones. Cock Robin is still there, just as
much a pet as the beautiful mare, of
whom he is plainly jealous. The two
will win many a cup and ribbon on the
tanbark in seasons to come.
Let me show you HazeTs gaits, "
said Miss Jones, after calling attention
to the mares beautiful lines. She
swung herself into the saddle with ease,
and Hazel high-stepped and caracoled
up and down the paddock. Cock Robin
raised his head in protest and expressed
his feelings aloud, and his mistress had
to come back and console him. Dant-
zig, the Dalmation coach dog, asleep
in the sunlight. woke up and ran to
the stable for his. share Of petting.

And that is-?" The interviewer was

girl II don't mind telling
