TAFT MAY Be GIVEN
PLACE ON BENCH Of
U.S.SUPREME COURY
Death of Associate Justice Lurton
Causes Vacancy Which Former
President May Fill
OTHERS ARE MENTIONED, TOO
Wilson May Name Democrat as
Only Two Are on Bench at
Present
BY Associated Press

Washington, d. c., July 13.-Dis-
cussion as to whom President Wilson
will appoint to fill the vacancy on the
Supreme Court bench caused by the
death of Associate Justice Lurton con-
tinued mere to-day. The names of
those mentioned in connection with
the vacancy include eX-President Taft,
members of the Cabinet and others.
In official circles there was some
discussion as to the choice of sue
cessor to Justice Lurton, but no one
cared to venture an opinion as to
whom the President might appoint.
1t is not believed that the President
has yet even considered any name in
with the vacancy. AS a re-
suit of Justice Lurton's death the
President will be called upon to make
his first appointment to the Supreme
bench.
In addition to Mr.. Taft, those men
toned include Attorney General Nc
Reynolds, Secretaries Lane and Gar
rison, Senator Shields, of Tennessee, a
former Justice of the Supreme Court
of that State; Frederick w. Lehman,
eX-Solicitor General and one of the
American delegates to the Mexican
peace conference at Niagara Falls, and
that of John w. Davis, of Fest Vir-
ginia, the Solicitor General.
Taft Had Ambition
Ex- President Taft is known to have
had an ambition to round out his ca
reer as a justice on the highest court
of the land. Whether he still cher
ishes that ambition is not known
here. When it was reported last win
ter that Justice Lurton was about to
retire it was suggested that Mr.. Taft
L. .1az. I.V,A
stated at the White House that his
name had not been mentioned. In
official circles it is not thought likely
that the President will appoint a
member of his Cabinet because of
his desire to go through his term

Between Him and Senate
Over Two Appointments
By Assoeiated Prest

Washington. D. c., July 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson to-day denied that there
was any conflict between him and the
Senate over the nominations of Paul
Warburs and Thomas d. Jones as
members of the Federal Reserve

clared he was working in complete
harmony with the Democratic major-

two exceptions. Mr.. Wilson said he
had definite assurances Mr.. Jones
would be confirmed. He did not dis
cuss the case of Mr.. Warburg, except
to say that he thought the Senate as a
whole would be perfectly fair.
