United States Circuit Judge William
G. Hook as the most likely candi-
date for appointment to the United
States supreme court in place of
the late Justice Harlan. Judge
Hooks name has not been dropped
PRESIDENT is disposed to appoint Mr..
Nagel.
1t is said that Mr.. Taft's turning
from Judge Hook has not been
caused by any Of the protests lodged
with him owing to Judge Hooks de-
cisions in the 2-cent railroad rate
case. Attorney General Wickersham
has strongly advocated the appoint
ment of Mr.. Nagel.
Mr.. Taft also conferred with Chief
Justice White, presumably on the
filling of the supreme court vacancy.
II is known that the late Justice
Brewer at one time expressed the
opinion to Mr.. Taft that Judge Hook
was too radical" Justice Brewers
opinion is said to have had consider
able weight with Mr.. Taft when
Judge Hooks name was under con-
sideration on a previous occasion.

JUDGE CREW DIES
IN MARIETTA HOTEL
Was Former Justice Of Ohio
Supreme Court.

Marietta, o., Jan. 25.-With but a
few hours warning. death came to
Former Judge William Binford Grew
of the Ohio supreme court, who was
stopping at local hotel. Judge
Crew had come here from his
home in McConnesville and drove
IN a buggy to Parkersburg, w. Va,
to look after some business affairs.
He seemed in perfect health. He
drove back, ate a fair supper at the
hotel, but after the meal complained
of feeling i'll and went to his room.
In the course of an hour. feeling no
better, he called physician, but he
sank rapidly and died in a few hours.
The body probably will be taken to
McConnelsville for burial, though,
since his retirement from the SUI
preme bench year ago, Judge Crew
had lived most of the time with his
daughter, Mrs. Henry r. Gall of
Cleveland.
Judge Crew was born in Morgan

SEEK
TO Restore Coal Pact Do The
Miners

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 25-Whether
there will be a general suspension of
coal mining on April l, when the pres
ent wage agreements expire, depends
upon the success of the joint confer
ence OF operators and miners which
went into session behind closed doors
at the Hotel Claypool this afternoon.
The miners are represented in the
conference by the special committee
appointed by the United Mine Work
ers. Nearly all of the mine owners OF
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio are repre-
sented, together with some of the in
dependents of the western Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia fields. The
demands to be presented by the min
ers concerning wages and working
conditions for the future were agreed
upon by the convention of the miners
organization which has been in ses-
sion here the past two weeks Some
OF the demands are regarded as of a
radical character by the mine owners
and there is little possibility of an
agreement being reached unless the
demands are substantially modified
Some of the prominent Pennsylvania
and Ohio operators have declined to
join In the conference, and this makes
1t possible that the joint conference
may adjourn without doing anything,
and that negotiations may then be
carried on for later meeting of oper-
ators and miners for that purpose.
There is a firm belief on the part of
many persons well acquainted with
the situation that the operators who
are now holding aloof finally will be
brought into the Joint conference, and
that If wage scale is negotiated 1t
will cover the five States of Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia.

House Wants to Know Who Recon-
mend Federal Judges.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The house
gave Endorsement to one of the prop
ositions that William j. Bryan has
been advocating in season and out
for long time when 1t adopted
an amendment to a judiciary
bill providing that before the pres
ident shall appoint any district, cir
cult or supreme Judge, he shall make
Lublic all Endorsements in behalf Of
any applicant"
Mr.. Bryan has repeatedly urged
the enactment of law of this sort.
While President Taft was on his
western trip last summer Mr.. Bryan
made public speech on the subject,
to which Mr.. Taft replied. Only a
short time ago, the 8th of this month,
Mr.. Bryan, speaking at the Jackson
day dinner here. urged this scheme
for publicity Of judicial indorse-
ments, but the Democrats did not an.
ticipate that one of their number
would spring the proposition. Rep
resentative Cullop of Indiana, Bry-
an follower, turned the trick. He Of
fered the above amendment to the
Evans bill, which creates an addi-
tional district judge in Chicago and
drops one circuit judgeship, the lat
ter being the one caused by the res
ignation Of Judge Grosscup. Only 13
Democrats voted against the Cullap
amendment, which was carried by a
vote of 148 to 80.

TO CATCH FISH BY NOISE
Cambridge, Mass, Cor. New York
Times)

George Howard Parker, professor of
zoology at Harvard, offers novel
method for catching fish. Prof. Park.
er, who has made the study of hearing
In fishes the subject of life work,
says that the fisherman of the flu
ture may make his catch by the en-
ployment Of some noise producer in
stead of the time-honored net or hook
and line
"The idea is not fully worked out as
yet" says the professor, "and 1t would
be premature for me to go into the mat
ter at the present time. 1t is not, how
ever, too much to say that certain fish
possess organs for communication by
sound with their fellows, and indeed to
call each other so that it might be per.
fectly possible to attract the fish in
this manner by artificial means. Ger.
tain kinds of noises do not produce
negative reaction on fish, but instead
serve to attract them. This character
istic might Well be made the means of
Turing them to desired province"
Prof. Parker was recently requested
to prepare report on this subject for
the Bureau of Fisheries, a division of
the Department of Commerce and La.
