JUDGE LOCKE
HAS RESIGNED
FROM BENCH
FEDERAL JUDGE WILL LEAVE
? BENCH AS SOON AS HIS sUc-
cEssoR Is APPOINTED AND
QUALITIES.
Special to The Journal.


Jacksonville, July 11.-After SER
vice of forty years as judge of the
United States court, Southern district
of Florida, Judge James w. Locke re-
tires from the judgesnip as soon as
his successor is appointed and quail
f1e.
With the return yesterday from
Asheville, n. c., of United States
Court Clerk E. o. Locke came the an
nouncement that Hon. James w.
Locke, judge of the United States
court for the Southern district of
Florida, had resigned.
Not Unexpected.
The news was not unexpected as
for several months past there has been
considerable talk about Judge Locke
retiring.
Recently Judge Locke and his
brother, E. o. Locke, left for Ashe
vile, N. c., to spend several weeks
there, Judge Locke going from there
to Maine to spend the summer.
On the eve of his departure Judge
Locke was asked relative to the pos
sibility of handing in his resignation
and he replied that he might do so
this summer and that when he did
word of such action would be sent
through the clerk of the court. With
the arrival of E. o. Locke yesterday
morning in the city came the news
that several days ago Judge Locke
wrote to President Taft and rendered
his resignation, which will take effect
upon the appointment of his successor
and his successors qualification.
Probable Successor.
Among those mentioned to succeed
Judge Locke is Judge Rhydon NJ. Gail,
Of the Fourth judicial circuit of Flor
ida, who has a large following and
whose friends feel certain he will re-
ceive the appointment. Judge Call is
a Democrat as is also Hon. John E.
Hartridge, who is also mentioned as a
possible successor. Others, who are
Republicans and who are mentioned
as successors, are: Judge w. B. Shep-
pard, of Pensacola judge of the United
States court for the Northern district
of Florida; Attorney G. s. Adams and
Attorney Ezra P. AXtell, of this city,
and United States District Attorney
John M. Cheney, of Orlando.
Appointed in 1872.
Judge Locke was appointed United
States district Judge for the Southern
district of Florida February 1, 1872
recommendation for such appointment
having been signed by every member
Of the bar of his district without re-
gard to political affiliation, and he con-
tinued to make his home at Key West
until the duties of his court required
his removal to Jacksonville in 1894.

islation is to be had, it must be at
this session of congress.
Senator Brandegee has replied to the
state department that the legislation
proposed is regarded as extremely
urgent, and that the senate COMMITTEES
had planned to report the canal bill
to the full senate some time next week.
One of the provisions in the bill. as
1t now stands, would make it impos-
s1ble for Canadian railroad ships to
pass through the canal if they engaged
In coastwise trade. Then the question
OF free tolls to certain classes of
American ships involves the old cues
ton of the Hay -Paunceforte treaty. It
is believed that the British government
will hold that ships of all nations
must be on an equal basis. The
opinion among many American states
men is that to grant free tolls to
American ships is not a violation of
the Hay Paunceforte treaty terms.
ALL POWERS MAY JOIN.
That not only Great Britain, but all
pected to protest against any discrimi-
nation in favor of American vessels
has been fully anticipated, yet not
withstanding that fact President Taft
and Secretary Stimson, the member of
his cabinet directly charged with the
construction and operation of the
Panama canal have, after careful in
yestigation. committed themselves to
the assertion Of the right of the United
States to regulate traffic in he man
ner provided in the pending bill.
The strongest statement of the ad-
m nistration's position was that made
by Secretary Stimson in his Kansas
CITY speech November IA last. dealing
with the Panama canal as a work
bout to be completed. He declared
| that he had not the least doubt of the
right of the United States to pay tolls
on American vessels using the canal,
hich would be equivalent to granting
| them free passage. He pointed out
| that substantially every European
government using the Suez canal paid
such subsidies, and the Hay Paunce-
forte treaty provided that the rules OF
| the Suez canal were to govern the
operation of the Panama canal
President Taft has let it be known
| that he proposes to be guided in the
matter entirely by the will of congress
| So, if the legislation is perfected on
! the present lines, the legislative
| branch Of the government will be
| bound to lend unqualified support tc
| the state department in what is al
most certain to be period Of extreme
! ly active and pregnant exchange Of
notes with the great maritime powers
| While it is true that Great Britain
! occupies a position of exceptional in
| forest and power in regard to any
| isthmian canal by reason of her ancient
undertaking of joint control with the
| United States, it seems certain thai
any representations the British gov
| ernmentma Y make will be supported
| by Germany and France and perhaps
! other European powers. The matter
Of moment is how far those powers
may go to sustain a protest against
! the proposed control Of the Panans
| canal by the United States.
