Free C upon
King of Saxony

Frederick. August King of Saxony, who went to the Belgian front this month to stencourage the troops" and to represent the Kaiser during the latter's absence at the eastern battle front, isSin his fifieth year. He has reigned over Saxony just 9 decade, succeeding his father. King George, in 1904. In 1891, while still Crown Prince, he married ArchducheSs Louise of Austria a princess of the non-reigning Tuscan branch of the Hapsburg family, but divorced her in 1 1903, shortly before he was called to the throne. The Grown Princess de- serted her husband and hea sir child ren, three sons and three daughters, af1d ran away with a, music teacher; with whom she lived for some time. Later she became infatuated with En- rico Toselli and married him, but ob- tained a divorce in 1911. In book she wrote a few years ago she de- clared that she had abandoned her children and a throne because of the into1erable brutality of her husband, whom she accused of practicing many vices and cruelties. These allegafi ons have been indignantly denied by the friends of the King, who declares he is the soul of kindness. These de- lenders of the King declare that the ex-Crown Princess cratic conduct was due co eccentricities which are in the blood, and point to the fact that her brother. Leopold Salvador, mar ried first an actress and later the daughter Of a. horse dealer. Crown Prince George. the heir to the thone of Saxony, had two sisters and two brothers. one of the Iatted being a priest in in holy orders Next year will mar the centenary of the con firInation of the Saxon rulers as kings The Elector of Saxony tok the royal title in 1906, and it was confirmed to him by the Congress of Vienna in 1S1 5 The royal family of Saxony is one of the oldest in European dynasties, and in the tenth century 8 Saxon ruler became emperor of Germany.

 H MT. Wheeler has sung with many of the prominent musical societies of this country, and while he has par ticuIarIy distinguished himself in ora torios, both in the standard works and modern compositions, yet the qual- lties of his voice and art are such las to make his recital programs of unusual interest.
 To those who know the high musical standards always maintained at St. Bartholomew church, New York, and at New Yorkss largest Synagogue Temple Emanuel. the fact that Mr. Wheeler is tenor soloist in both of these choirs is sufficient evidence of his standing in New York.

COV|NGTON READY
TO ASCEND BENCH
E. Hilton Jackson of Herndon,
Va, Is Mentioned for
Other Vacancy.

Representative Covington of Maryland
who has just been nominated as CHIEF
Justice Of the Supreme Court Of the Dis

wishes Of President Wilson and Attor
ney General McReynolds as to when h.
will leave Congress to assume the duties
Of the position. Mr.. Covington. 1t became

Of business in the District Supreme Cour,
Ia serious and he Is willing to leave Con.
gress without delay and take up the work
Of the bench.
The suggestion was made today from
high quarters that II Mr.. Covington is
consulted by the President and Mr.. Nc.
Reynolds he would recommend that
they at once nominate a successor to
Justice Barnard on the Supreme bench
who would be more familiar with local
practices and customs than he 10, and

cumulation OF court business Such q

Lee Aiding Lamar.
Senator Blair Lee Of Maryland is max
ing renewed efforts to land the vacancy
caused by the retirement Of Associate
Justice Barnard for his law partner,
George Lamar. Mr.. Lee pressed the
name of Mr.. Lamar for some time, but
the nomination Of Mr.. Covington was
decided upon. In spite Of the persistent
and forceful work Of Senator Lee in be-
half of Mr.. Lamar, it was not believed
today that the latter. who is a Mary
land man, although practicing In the
District. could win, inasmuch as the
President would be disinclined to give
both vacancies on the District branch
to Maryland candidates.
1t became known today that hard
work Is being put forth In behalf of
E. Hilton Jackson. Washington law

Is receiving strong support from lead
ing Virginia lawyers and democrats.
His supporters are telling the Presi-
dent that he Is a high-minded man

Frank Sprigg Perry, a Washington
lawyer. has a number Of earnest friends
who have been considering the advisa.
bility of presenting his name for the
honor, but Mr.. Perry is not inclined to
become a candidate. preferring to leave
the matter with the Attorney General,
