The news of the death of Mrs Westing-

pressions of regret. While she and her
late husband kept their home on Dupont
Circle open. some years ago, 1t was the
scene of many of the most elaborate en-
tertainments Washington has ever known.
The couple came here with few acquain-
tances in the social set. but the lavish
hospitality they exerted and the kindly
interest which they displayed In all local
affairs asking their aid soon surrounded
them with circle which neither absence

made here were. in the intervening years.

Statements Are Given Out
by the Representatives of
Both Sides in the Matter

Mr.. Vouros. the Greek charge, and
Rustem Bey, the Turkish ambassador, are
each out with statements about the pro-
posed battleship purchase. Mr. Vouros
asserted that the acquisition of the bat
tleships by Greece was necessary to pre-
vent war between Turkey and Greece
which would otherwise be brought about by
the seizure by Turkey of adjacent Greek
possessions. He based the claim of Greece
to naval expansion on the treaty of Lon
don and Athens. which ceded the islands
of Chic and Mitylene to Greece. and de-
clared Greece must be in q position to
defend these possessions.
Mr.. Vouros declared that Greece intends
to keep peace with Turkeys naval ex-
pansion. He pointed out that even when
Turkey obtains a dreadnought which is
now being built for her in Brazil, Greece
will be stronger II she acquires the Amer
tleship under construction in Germany,
the guns of which are being made in
Bethlehem, Pa Turkey has a battleship
under construction in Great Britain but,
according to Mr.. Vouros, an agreement
of neutrality makes it impossible to de-
of the outbreak of war.
Greeks Contention Declared Faulty,
The Turkish ambassador. when asked
to give his governments viewpoint Of
the controversy. gave out the following
written statement:
The contention that the sale of the
two battleships, the Idaho and the Mis-
sissippi, will restore the naval balance
between Turkey and Greece and would
prevent the explosion Of hostilities be-
tween the two countries, is faulty. II
the two American battleships como into
the possession of Greece before Turkey
gets the two battleships now under con-
struction for her, 1t will add to the con-
siderable superiority she already enjoys
over Turkey. II she gets them after
Turkey gets hers. which are superdread-
noughts, she will fall into a state Of dis
tinct inferiority notwithstanding the
American addition to the feet. Thus the
contemplated American action would
miss its very honorable object. and in
reality would amount to taking sides un-
in the naval rivalry already existing be-
tween the powers
It was understood today that Greece
has the money ready to pay for the bat
tleships, and that the sale can be con-
summated Immediately II the United
States desires to sell.

Information from several sources today
was that Attorney General McReynolds
made recommendations to President Will
son prior to the cabinet meeting for
nominations as associate justice of the
States attorney of the District, to sue
ceed Clarence r. Wilson, whose four
year term expired last April.
The information is that Mr. McReynolds
recommended the nomination of Charles
\. keigwin an instructor in law in one
of the Washington law colleges. and
highly recommended by lawyers and con-
sressmen. for associate justice of the
Supreme Court and W. Gwynn Gardiner,
a practicing lawyer, as United States at
torney to succeed Mr.. Wilson.
Official information on the subject was
exceedingly meager. but it is believed
that the nominations for these two po-
sitions will be made by the President
Within a short time. After the cabinet
ireeting Mr.. McReynolds said he had not
u ade recommendations for the two
places.
President Favors Siddons.
The situation as to the vacancy on the
District Supreme bench has not under
cone change in the last few days, except
that the President and Attorney General
are not in agreement as to who is best
fitted for the position. The President. it
IS known. entertains high regard for Com
missioner Siddons and is not expected to
recede from his tentative purpose to
nominate Mr.. Siddons unless the Attorney
General is able to convince him that Mr..
keigwin or some other man should be
named.
Mr.. McReynolds went to the White
House at 10 o'clock today. an hour be-
fore the regular cabinet meeting, and re-
mained with the President in conference
over a number of matters in the De-

Struggle Over Proposal to Dis
pose of Idaho and Missis-
sippi Is Renewed.
CONFEREES ARE UNABLE
TO AGREE ON Amendment
Other Items in Naval Appropriation
Bill Discussed, Including Funds
for Dry Dock at Norfolk.

The legislative struggle over the admin
istration proposal to sell the battleships
Idaho and Mississippi to the Greek gov
ernment was renewed in the House today.
The issue was raised when Representative
Padgett brought into the House con-
ference report on the naval appropriation
bill The conferees had been unable to
agree on the Senate amendment provid-
ing for the sale of the battleships.
After voting overwhelmingly to insist
upon Its disagreement to Senate amend
ments providing 100000 to begin a new
three-million-dollar dry dock at the Nor
folk navy yard, and 100000 to begin a
new ndred-thonusand-dollar break
water at Key West naval station, the
House took up the sale Of the battle
ships
Proceeds for New Dreadnought.
The Senate amendment would author
lie the President to sell the two ships
before July /. 1915. and would allow the
expenditure of the selling price in the
construction of a new dreadnought
Representative Padgett moved that the
House agree to the amendment with an
amendment providing that the ships shall
not be sold for less than their cost price.
and that the proceeds be used to con-
struct a dreadnought to cost, exclusive
Of armor and armament, $7.SO0OOO. The
Padgett proposal would Immediately ap-
propriate 100000 out Of the proceeds
for the construction and machinery of
the new ship. 81, ,535.OO0 for armor and
armament and 100000 for equipment.
Republican Leader Mann proposed an
amendment that would eliminate the pro-
vision for new battleship and would
ury. Representative Burnett of Alabama
proposed to make the proceeds available
for the construction of post roads,

sented a letter from the Secretary Of the
Navy transmitting report by Rear Ad-
miral Fiske. declaring that a new dread
nought would have twice the naval ef-
fectiveness of the Idaho and the Mis-
sissippi combined
Saying he knew of no foreign nation
protesting. Representative Padgett added:
The authority would be given to the
President. and. of course. he would not
make the sale at time when such a
transaction would be automatically i'm
proper"
Representative Padgett said that he un-
derstood from the Secretary of the Navy
that the sale Of the ships would tend
to preserve peace between the two nations
involved"
Secretary Daniels said today when the
cabinet assembled that Turkeys protest
against the sale of the battleships Missis-
sippi and Idaho to Greece had not altered
his view. nor that Of the administration,
in favor of the sale.

Summary of Findings.

The report takes up the charges in de-
tall and comments on them at length.
It includes these findings:
"A reading Of the record makes it
plainly evident that throughout the long
period Of his service Of almost thirty
years there has been an utter lack Of
harmony between the Judge Of the United
States court for the southern district OF
Georgia and the bar Of the district. as
well as the people. The committee found
a revengeful spirit evidenced frequently
by the testimony Of witnesses toward
Judge Speer. and, on the other hand. a
superior consciousness Of the great
power Of the judge over all matters
