WHY NOT CONFIRM WOODSo
Friends of Justice Unable to Account
for Dclay-NOminatiOn Took Place
Two Weeks Ago.

Washington, May 27.-Friends OF
JuStlce Charles "A. Woods of South
Carolina, who was recently nominated
To succeed Judge Nathan Goff on the
Fourth circuit federal bench, are un-
able to understand why his confirma-
ton is not forthcoming by the senate
The nomination was favorably report
eu by the senate committee on Judi
ciary about ten days ago, but as yet
iinal action has not been taken.
Today, when Representative Carlin
of Virginia undertook to see what
could be done in the matter objec-
ton was made and his efforts were
palked. AS the situation now stands,
the senate has passed the Chiffon bill,
providing for an additional Judge foI
the Fourth circuit, and has also
adopted an amendment to a house
bill, thus substantially passing the
same bill twice, or providing. so far
as the senate is concerned, that two
additional judges be authorized. This
was the tangle which the Virginia
congressman attempted to straighten
out today by disagreeing to the SEN
ate amendment when he was blocked
by objection.
1t has been hintcd here that JUS
tice Woods might not be confirmed
uhoer his present nomination at all;
mat no further steps would be taken
until the additional judgeship bill hao
passed both houses of congress and
become a law, and that then the NOM
Ination of t'e South Carolinian would
be withdrawn, the Carolina iurist to
oe subsequently renominated, and
Congressman Davis Of West virginia
getting the nomination which has been
gwen to Justice Woods. However this
may be, not only the friends of JUS
ticc Woods but LAWYERS throughout
the Fourth circuit are puzzled at the
Iact tha' Justice Woods has SO far
not been confirmed.
The d0ckcts of the Fourth circui,
are said To be already considerably
congcsted, and as Judge Goff is now
! N the senate the circuit viii he with
ont the services of one Judge until

from Ea to West by Two Th0us-

ernmcnt Willing.

washington, May 25.-Another
great Atlantic-Pacific waterway max
ing ship route between the eastern
ana western coasts of the United
states 1000 miles shorter than
through the Panama Canal will be
puilt soon by the United States. in
the opinion Of DR.. Salvador Castrillo,
retirlng Nicaraguan minister. Dr.
Castrillo, who leaves this week for
Europe on an important mission for
ms government, declares in o state
ment tonight that he believed a canal
treaty would be negotiated between
the united States and Nicaragua and
that canal would be constructed
across the country.
Ihe Nicaraguan diplomat has been
frequent caller at the State depart
ment since Secretary Bryan came into
Office, and the latter, after an extern
siVe study of the problems involved
in the proposed treaty negotiations
has said that his mind is open.
The canal treaty, an inheritance
from the Taft administration, was
negotiated by Minister Weitzel last
winter and has received the apnroyal
or the Nicaraguan government. Bv
IT'S terms Nicaragua, for $4,000 600
would grant the United States the ex-
cluslVe right to construct a canal
across Nicaragua by way of the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua. This
government also would have a right
TO acquire cOaling station in the
bay of Fonseca, on the Pacific side OF
the coast.
/ am greatly encouraged by Mr..
Bryans assurance that he has q
broad view of the subject" said DR..
Castrillo.
He believes the Nicaraguan canal is
a commercial necessity After all"
he said, the Panama Canal j. of mil
itary and strategic importance, but
when 1t is realized that the Nicara-
guam canal would shorten the route
to the Pacific coast by an additional
1000 miles, l am convinced that it
Will be built. When the first of the
great Pacific railroads was built
across the United States it was
thought that it would be sufficient for
all commercial needs. 1t, however.
only served to emphasize the demand
for other lines which were speedily
built"
DR.. Castro has not been able to
reach an understanding with the state
department in the Nicaraguan loan
negotiations. Secretary Bryan has
favored the deal with the New York
bankers, but he has not given assur-
ance that will satisfy the New York
hnanciers. The doctors European mis-
sion viii take him to France, Spain.

countries. His successor in the Wash

The cry that il will ruin the country
Is all bosh. In the planting of cot
ton our people will not or cannot
learn by experience that il is financial
loss TO plant cotton at the expense of

cleared more on his dry feed this
spring than he did on his cotton last
year with one-tenth the labor to raise
it.
III Mr.. Jenkins wants to make a full
investigation of the liquor sold and

PRESS OPINIONS REGARDING TAR.
IFF REDUCTION.

IFF REDUCTION.
The lower house of congress is
again busy on the vexatious prob
lem OF formulating a tariff measure
tlat will meet the popular demand
for an honest attempt at tariff re-
vision downward. Some Of the
vexatious aspects of the problem
are: The necessity of raising
enough revenue through the tariff
to meet the necessary expense Ct
government: the danger of doing
great harm to big industries which
have grown up within the shelter
OF a protecting tariff wall,but at the
same time employs thousands OF
men who look to the continuation
of the industry for a livelihood; and
last the probleinatical effect on eX-
listing conditions of changes either
away in any given case.
The Wilson administration seems
TO have definately decided that the
result of the last election means
that the people want real tariff re-
vision downward. The response
bility of accomplishing this end
and at the same time do no great
injustice to particular localities or
industries and adequately provide
for current expenses is what the
democrats necessarily assume.
The press for the most part at
tribute to President Wilson honest
intentions coupled with fair de- !
gree Of good judgment as will be
shown from the following extracts:
Chicago Record-Herald.- Even
the opponents of the measure. or of
the arguments advanced in its ia !
vor, will candidly admit, however.
that the president and his party are
endeavoring to redeem their pledg-
rs. to relieve the consumer. to open
new channels to industry and COM
lnerCe, and to promote national
prosperity. (
New York Times. AS we have
said. the democrats have kept their
pledge in respect to the downward
revision of the tariff. Our manu-
facturers will not he slow to see
that their profits are no longer
guaranteed by the government.

tariff bill seems only to aim at re-
moving the excessive tariff on those
manufactured articles on which a
tariff is unnecessary, and to have
SLalck at an equitable reduction III

When Buttons Were Bio.

Bachaumont writes in his Secret
Memoirs" Nov. 10, 1876: 1.-The mania
for buttons is today extremely ridicu-
lous. They are not only of enormous
size, some of them as big as six pound
crowns, but miniatures and pictures
are made upon them, and this orna-
mentation Is extremely costly. Some Of
them represent the medals Of the
twelve Caesars, others antique statues
and still others the Metamorphoses OF
Ovid"
Isabey, in his biographical notes,
says that when he came to Paris he
worked for a living by making copies
of vanloos and Bouchers on the lids OF
snuffboxes and that for these medal
lions he was paid from to francs
each. "As it was still the fashion," he
said, ito wear buttons as big as five
franc piece. upon which Cupids. flow
ers and landscapes were cut in cameo

Heart BuriaIs.

The burial of the heart separate from
the body and in another place is an old
custom, common in Europe when the
heart was supposed to be the center OF
the affections and the will. Robert
Bruce wished his heart to be buried In
Jerusalem and intrusted 1t to his IA
nous friend, 1.-The black Douglas" who
was killed before he could fulfill the
mission. The hearts of the Hapsburg
rulers of Austria are kept in silver cas-
kets in the chapel of the Loretto In
Venice. and the hearts of the rulers Of
Bavaria are similarly preserved apart
from the bodies. Luitpold, the late
prince regent, ordered. however, that
his heart be placed not with the hearts
of the other Bavarian rulers, but In its
natural place with his own body, be-
side the body Of his wife.-Youth' g

AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.
Tho Innovation by the Columbian So

The Innovation by the Columbian So
ciety In 1909.
According to a bulletin Of the depart
ment of agriculture. the first full fedg-
ed agricultural fair, primarily for COM
petitive exhibits instead of for mar
keting. was held at the Columbian Ag-
ricultural society, which was organic
ed in 1909 by a number of gentlemen
interested in agriculture residing In
Maryla Virginia and the District of
Columbia.
It's first exhibition was held in
Georgetown, May 10, 1909. and the Ma
tional Intelligencer Of that day report
ed that it was ATTENDED by a numer-
GUS assemblage of members of the So
ciety, among whom we noticed the
president and his lady. the secretary
of state, the secretary Of the treasury,
the secretary of war, the comptroller,
register, ETC.. and many other ladies
and gentlemen of responsibility"
This fair was mainly devoted to do
nestle animals and manufacturers.
Semiannual fairs were held until the
spring Of 1912, when the war with
England and the expiration Of the
time for which the society was organ
lied caused it's discontinuance.
The oldest existing agricultural SO
ciety that holds fairs is the Berkshire
Agricultural society, Pittsfeld, Mass.
which held its first fair in the autumn
of 1910 or only one and one-half years
after the first fair of the Columbian
| Agricultural society.
