.0SLER AGE LIMIT
FOR U. s. JUDGES
.McReynoIds Bars Lawyers Over
Sixty For Federal Bench.

Washtngton.-No lawyer OF more
than sixty years Of age and 10 lawyers
with large corporation and railroad
connections need apply for appoint
ment on the federal bench.
This announcement was made by
Attorney General McReynolds, who re-
ceived delegations from Virginia and
Maryland in behalf of lawyers of those
states now being urged for the va
cancy in the Fourth circuit court of
the United States, composed Of the
states of North and South Carolina,
Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia.
By this announcement Mr. Mickey
nolds eliminates almost the entire field
OF aspirants from Maryland and Viz
ginia. The half dozen lawyers from
Virginia who are advanced for ju-
dicial honors are either more than
sixty years of age or have large corpo-
ration connections. The lone Mary
lander, b. G. Devecmon, was elfminat-.
ed because he has had no previous ex-
perience on the bench and has had no
practice in admiralty courts.
The Virginia delegation was stunned
by the announcement The men elm
mated include Charles v. Meredith Of
Richmond, who is sixty-two years old;
Lucien B. Cooke Of Roanoke. who is
division counsel for the Norfolk and
Western railroad; Walter 81. Taylor of
Norfolk. who Is counsel for the late 81.
81. Rogers Virginia railroad; w. Leigh
Williams of Norfolk. who is counsel
for the Atlantic Coast Line railroad,
and A. w. Patterson and 81. r. Pol
lard, barred on account of the age
limit. Dr.. Minor Lyle, dean Of the Law
School Of the University Of Virginia. is
the only aspirant now in the field from
Virginia who comes within the Mercy
nolds rule.
There are half a dozen judgeship APP
pointments which the president has to
make. Most Of them are carried over
from the Taft administration and
were tied up In tie senate filibuster
against all the civil appointments made
by Mr.. Taft after his election.
It is taken here that the rule laid
down by the attorney general applies
to all judiciary appointments that will
come up during the coming four years.
It will apply equally to the United
States supreme court as to the district
courts. '}sss
Just now there is a pressing demand
upon the president to appoint chief
Justice OF the United States court Of
claims. The work Of this tribunal has
been retarded since the retirement OF
Chief Justice Peel and the refusal Of
the senate to confirm the promotion OF
Associate Justice Booth for this place.

ernor Johnson has signed the SO called
"land BILL" faith in the American peo-
pie to see that justice is done the
Japanese is the dominating note in the
discussion here Of the California alien
land ownership legislation. War talk
Is denounced as ridiculous and calcu-
lated only to embarrass the two gov
ernments, which are laboring for a
peaceful settlement by diplomacy.
1t Is conceded, however, that failure
on the part Of the Americans to re-
spond to the japanese appeal for dis
continuance Of the alleged discrimina-
ton would be likely to lead to some
estrangement Of the two peoples. The
Japanese public generally is convinced
that the land bill is racial and not an
economic measure and hence q blow
to national pride. and it feels that the
world must be taught the necessity Of
equal treatment Of the whites and non
whites.
The Tokyo newspapers are loud in
their praise Of President Wilson's zeal
In his endeavors to preserve the tradi-
honal friendship, and they recognize
the difficulties which confront the pres,
1dent Of the United States in the con-
fusing conflict between state and fed

that the question as to whether the
Washington government can procure
equal rights for the Japanese depends

Washington. The decrease in the
meat supply available for expectation
Is illustrated sharply by the February
export figures, just compiled by the
statistical division of the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce. They
show the number of cattle exported in
the eight months ended with last
month as 1866 head against 27O,219
head in the corresponding months of
1907 and the quantity of fresh beef ex-
ported as 4,709,047 pounds against u.s.
SO6.649 pounds in the same months
That this shortage in the exportatio
IS due In part at least to an actual re-
ssiilctionr In the numbersof cattle in the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that the total number of cattle gu
farms, according to figures of the de-
partment of agriculture. on Jan. last
was only 56,527.OOO against 72,534,OOO
on Jan. /. 1907.
