ATLANTA LAWYERS SUGGEST
GEORGIA JURIST, BUT HE DE-

Atlanta lawyers have set on foot
a movement to obtain for Judge Ben
iamin Hill. of the criminal division
of the superior court of Fulton county,
the appointment by President Wilson
to a justiceship on the bench of the
United States supreme court to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Justice Lamar.
Several kilograms were sent to SEN
ator Hoke Smith and Congressman
William Schley Howard urging that
they present the names of Judge Hill
to the president and use their influ-
ence to have the distinguished Geor-
gia jurist named. Among those who
communicated with the Washington
officials were Chief Judge Russell, of
the court of appeals, who succeeded
Judge Hill in that position when the
latter accepted the judgeship of the
criminal court of Fulton; County At
torney E. E. Pomeroy, Attorney Chas.
J. Graham, Attorney Tillou Won Numes
and others, all of Atlanta. Other tel
egrams are expected to be forwarded

ed with the movement in his behalf,
said he was barred by the age limit
for supreme court justices, and, in
turn, nominated former President
, William Howard Taft, on is record of
