WASHINGTON, April 14--Follow-
ing the action of tire senate judiciary
committe today in favorably reporting
back Senator Chiftons bill for an
additional Judge of the Fourth cir
cult, IT was strongly rumored In some
quarters that the favorable prospects
for the passage of the bill at an
early date has caused President Will
son to entertain a change of mind as
to appointing Judge Charles T. Woods.
of South Carolina. to the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Judge
GofT, to take a seat in the United
States senate.
1t has been known for some time
that the president had decided to APP
point Judge Woods. Notwithstanding
the fact that he had reached the age
named as a reason for turning down
other candidates from Virginia,
Today it was said that President
Wilson has now decided to appoint
John W. Davis. of West Virginia. at
present a congressman from that
state. to the vacancy. 1t had been the
intention to name Davis for the addi-
tonal Judgeship when it is created
The fact that a congressman is in
eligible to take any office. he has a
part in creating, would make it i'm
possible to appoint Davis to the ad-
dittonal judgeship, therefore ii is I'M
derstood TO now be the intention to
name Davis for the vacancy and later
appoint Woods to the new Office
The outlook for the early passage
of The bill and the side-tracking of
Woods has also caused renewal of the
efforts of the Virginia delegation to
place an Old Dominion man on the
